Buy LinkedIn Followers

On LinkedIn a follower is anyone who has pressed Follow on your profile. They can see your public posts in their feed, while theirs stay out of yours, because following runs one way. There is nothing for you to accept and no upper limit, whereas connections stop at 30,000 at the time of writing.

Your connections are in the figure too. When two members connect, LinkedIn has each of them follow the other automatically, so every connection also counts as a follower unless they choose to unfollow. That is why an established profile tends to show more followers than connections: the figure starts from your network and then adds everyone who follows without connecting.

The difference matters once you pass 500 connections. From that point LinkedIn prints “500+” whatever your real total is, so the connection figure stops telling a visitor anything new. Followers carry no such label: the figure goes on climbing in view however large it gets, which makes it the part of a professional profile that still visibly moves.

LinkedIn has two kinds of account that collect followers, and they behave differently. A company page cannot have connections at all, so its follower figure is the headline number, usually shown just under the page name. A personal profile carries both figures, side by side, and visitors read one against the other.

Only personal profiles can receive this order. Checkout reads the link you paste, expects the linkedin.com/in/ form and shows the name it resolves to before you pay; a /company/ address is turned away. One package goes to one profile, so a second profile needs a package of its own.

The people who read your follower figure are rarely your followers. They are the prospect who looks you up before a discovery call, the hiring manager who opens your profile from an application, the organiser shortlisting speakers for a panel, the journalist deciding whether to quote you. Each takes the number in for a second, as a rough answer to one question: does anyone listen to this person?

That is the whole of its job. LinkedIn's own description of its feed talks about signals from who you are, what a post contains and how people interact with it, including how constructive a conversation is. Followers are one of the relationships it can draw on, but a follower who never reads or reacts gives a post nothing to work with, and followers from an order will not read, react or reshare.

There is one use we would talk you out of. Audience analytics, under Analytics & tools, breaks your followers down by job title, location, industry and seniority, and delivered followers are counted in each of those breakdowns. If an organiser is choosing speakers by audience, or a client is paying you to reach your followers, neither the figure nor a screenshot of those breakdowns should be offered as evidence: the bought part is not an audience, and we won't sell it as though it were.

One LinkedIn setting decides whether a follower order can land at all, and it is easy to have switched it years ago and forgotten. The rest affect how smoothly delivery runs and what a visitor sees once it has finished, so a minute in Settings & Privacy before ordering is well spent.

Who can follow you

Under Settings & Privacy → Visibility → Followers. It has to read Everyone on LinkedIn; set to Your connections, only first-degree connections can follow you and the order has nowhere to land. LinkedIn says a change here can take up to a day to apply.

Public profile and URL

Keep your public profile visible, and leave its address alone. Editing your custom URL while the order runs moves the destination away from the link you gave us.

Make follow primary

Optional. Set to Yes, visitors see Follow as the main button instead of Connect, which suits a profile that now wants followers more than invitations.

The link itself

Paste the address listed under Public profile & URL, the one starting linkedin.com/in/. A post, a search result or a company page will not pass the check.

LinkedIn tells you whenever someone who is not a connection starts following you, so expect a busy notifications tab while an order runs at 500 to 2,000 a day. Nothing needs doing about them, and they stop when the order completes. The full list is under My Network → Following & followers if you want to look through it.

Fake profiles and artificially inflated engagement are both ruled out by LinkedIn, in its User Agreement and again in the Professional Community Policies, and it closes profiles it decides are fake. When one of those was following you, your figure drops by one. No seller can honestly tell you LinkedIn will leave an order alone.

Followers that drop away inside 30 days are made up free on every tier, once support has your order number. The tiers change which accounts follow you: High Quality uses real-looking profiles, VIP profiles filled out with photos, posts and activity, and Elite established profiles with a history, the kind LinkedIn's clean-ups remove least often.

Some profiles gain nothing from a bigger follower figure, and a few lose something by it. Below are the cases where we would tell you to wait, or to spend the money on something that fits your situation better, even though saying so costs us an order.

Job-hunting quietly

If Open to Work is set to Recruiters only and recruiters are the audience that matters, they mostly search by title, skills and location, then read your experience. Time spent on your headline will do more.

Merging two accounts

LinkedIn's self-merge carries over only the connections and email address of the account being closed, so followers delivered to it are lost. Merge first, then order for the account you keep.

Under restriction

If LinkedIn has restricted the profile or asked you to confirm your identity recently, give it a few quiet weeks. New activity on an account under review only gives the review more to look at.

An empty Activity section

A large following above a profile that has never posted raises the obvious question. Publish for a month first, so the figure has something beneath it.

A follower figure is read against the rest of the profile: the connection figure beside it and the posts below it. These bands are our own rule of thumb rather than anything LinkedIn publishes, and they assume a profile that posts at least now and then.

Fewer than 500 connections

100 or 250. Visitors can see your exact connection figure next to the follower one, so keep the two within sight of each other.

500+ connections, posting occasionally

500. Enough to set the follower figure apart from “500+” without implying an audience your Activity section cannot show.

Posting every week

1,000, or 2,500 if your posts already draw comments from people in your field. At the pace shown above, the larger size lands over a few days.

Rarely posting at all

Hold off. Post for a month first; a figure with nothing under it reads as bought.

Someone who notices your follower figure usually scrolls down to the Activity section next. These keep what they find there in step with it.
