An increasing number of people face tightening limits on their weekly connection requests on LinkedIn (around 100-250, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedhelper.com\/blog\/social-selling-index-linkedin-how-to-find-and-improve-ssi-score\/\">depending on your SSI score<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019ve been using automation tools for outreach, these limits might pose a threat to your performance. There&#8217;s one overlooked method to keep automation bringing you new leads: use more LinkedIn accounts for the outreach. Using three LinkedIn accounts for the outreach means 3X more connection requests or messages daily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where-to-get-more-LinkedIn-accounts\"><\/span>Where to get more LinkedIn accounts<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>First and foremost, DO NOT buy them.<\/strong> We know It&#8217;s tempting to pay money for ready-made LinkedIn accounts and start sending connection requests immediately. Most accounts for sale are fake and get banned within a week from registration. Some websites offer packages of 1,500 LinkedIn accounts for around $400 USD. You are lucky if even three of them survive the next LinkedIn anti-fake ban.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"102\" src=\"https:\/\/www.linkedhelper.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/pasted-image-0-2023-08-09T165147.313-1-1024x102.png\" alt=\"example of some websites that offer packages of 1,500 LinkedIn accounts\" class=\"wp-image-9515\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.linkedhelper.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/pasted-image-0-2023-08-09T165147.313-1-1024x102.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.linkedhelper.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/pasted-image-0-2023-08-09T165147.313-1-300x30.png 300w, https:\/\/www.linkedhelper.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/pasted-image-0-2023-08-09T165147.313-1-768x77.png 768w, https:\/\/www.linkedhelper.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/pasted-image-0-2023-08-09T165147.313-1-1320x132.png 1320w, https:\/\/www.linkedhelper.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/pasted-image-0-2023-08-09T165147.313-1.png 1413w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some ways to get <strong>real <\/strong>LinkedIn accounts:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ask your relatives or friends.<\/strong> Is there someone in your circle who might not be using LinkedIn at all?

People may be resentful and confronted with multiple questions: are you going to spam people in my name? Is it legal? Will I lose my LinkedIn account? Why can\u2019t you use your own LinkedIn account? To address these anxieties, set the ground rules and be transparent.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Be open and transparent<\/strong>. Tell them why you need more LinkedIn accounts. Describe what activity exactly you are going to do with their account.

Reduce anxiety by telling the owner of the LinkedIn account that they can view sent messages in their mailbox, and all connection requests on the \u201csent invitations\u201d page. And, of course, the account owner can take full control at any time by changing the password. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Set boundaries.<\/strong> Agree on do\u2019s and don\u2019ts.

Dedicate 7-14 days to warming up this profile. Use no automation at this point. Add a couple of connections daily. Ask your colleagues to send you connection requests.

These words signal that you welcome any incoming connection requests, even if you don\u2019t know this person. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Usually people add [LION] or {LION} label in square or curly brackets to their headline or current position.

The good news is, once you\u2019re cleared you will be out of the \u201cgray zone\u201d of fake profiles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"474\" src=\"https:\/\/www.linkedhelper.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/verification-by-ID-1024x474.png\" alt=\"linkedin upload a copy of your passport screenshot\" class=\"wp-image-9520\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.linkedhelper.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/verification-by-ID-1024x474.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.linkedhelper.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/verification-by-ID-300x139.png 300w, https:\/\/www.linkedhelper.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/verification-by-ID-768x356.png 768w, https:\/\/www.linkedhelper.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/verification-by-ID-1536x711.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.linkedhelper.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/verification-by-ID-1320x611.png 1320w, https:\/\/www.linkedhelper.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/verification-by-ID.png 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Existing-LinkedIn-account\"><\/span>Existing LinkedIn account<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are pluses and minuses to using someone\u2019s already existing LinkedIn profile. You get a fully-fledged LinkedIn profile with connections, traction, and credibility. On the other hand, you\u2019ll need to take care of other things (like avoiding parallel access).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Set up a proxy.<\/strong> Where does that person live or use their account most of the time? If you are in the same country, it&#8217;s fine; otherwise, a <a href=\"https:\/\/support.linkedhelper.com\/hc\/en-us\/articles\/360015219400-How-to-manage-multiple-LinkedIn-accounts#h_01ED4SCRHDC5NRDTR3HF0NCW63\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">proxy<\/a> may be required to align your IP with the owner\u2019s physical location. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udfe2 Use proxy: You live in Barcelona, but the account owner lives in Florida. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udd34 No proxy: You both live in New York.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Proxies are cheap and will cost you $1-3 per month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>InstantProxies: <a href=\"https:\/\/instantproxies.com\/pricing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">https:\/\/instantproxies.com\/pricing\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Proxy6.net: <a href=\"https:\/\/proxy6.net\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">https:\/\/proxy6.net\/en\/<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the account owner is planning to travel, ask them to inform you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Get a verification code<\/strong>. The first time you open their LinkedIn account via Linked Helper on your PC, you will see a verification window (left). The account owner must tell you the code they\u2019ll receive to their inbox (right).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\/\/www.linkedhelper.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/verification-1024x512.png\" alt=\"linkedin verification screenshot\" class=\"wp-image-9521\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.linkedhelper.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/verification-1024x512.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.linkedhelper.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/verification-300x150.png 300w, https:\/\/www.linkedhelper.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/verification-768x384.png 768w, https:\/\/www.linkedhelper.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/verification.png 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Because it is an unknown device to LinkedIn, the latter will ask for a 6-digit verification code that it will send to the email associated with the account. Agree with the owner that they\u2019ll be available to send you this code.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ensure smooth access.<\/strong> The existing LinkedIn account may be registered under the email that the owner is using and will not give you access to. While you are using the LinkedIn account, agree on how you will receive confirmation codes, etc. Consider adding your mobile phone as a temporary recovery phone. This way, the verification code will be sent to your phone instead of the owner\u2019s email and you won\u2019t be dependent on them. You can do it in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/mypreferences\/d\/categories\/sign-in-and-security\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" title=\"\">Settings &amp; Privacy.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Prepare for ID verification.<\/strong> Ask them if they have already done ID verification with LinkedIn. If they don\u2019t remember, it\u2019s best to prepare for the possible ID verification and get a clear copy of their ID.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Re-brand the profile<\/strong>. Take time to look at their existing profile. Might some changes to the summary or headline be necessary to make it more appealing? Will they agree if you change the background photo and join groups on LinkedIn under their name? In doing so, however, avoid changing the real name. Don\u2019t turn an Alice Clooney into a Rebecca Devlin, unless you want to run into trouble with an ID verification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Agree on a schedule.<\/strong> Since Linked Helper is imitating natural human activity in the browser, it&#8217;s crucial to avoid parallel access to the same LinkedIn account. Agree on the time frame when you can be using their account. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, you may dedicate morning and early afternoon hours to lead generation (9 am \u2013 3 pm), and after 3 pm you will not access the account. Or it can be the other way around. In Linked Helper, you\u2019ll set the <a href=\"https:\/\/support.linkedhelper.com\/hc\/en-us\/articles\/360016435499-Working-Hours-and-Limits#h_01EJ65Q8ZTT1ZVV02991Q9YD8J\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">working hours<\/a> in line with your agreement. Also, consider limiting <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/iA3cNOich98\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" title=\"\">action working hours<\/a>. Discuss if the account should be returned at weekends or if you can continue using it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Keep them informed<\/strong>. Share what you&#8217;ve achieved from time to time, and whether your campaigns are going well. This helps to build trust. Maybe the account owner will insist on daily reporting, i.e., how many new connection requests or messages you\u2019ve sent each day. Statistics can be downloaded into a file from Linked Helper or sent via webhooks to Google Sheets. <\/p>\n\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"astra-advanced-hook-8683 \">\r\n\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t<div  class=\"block-586e345f-ed4c-4fc2-b8b1-54b161e873ad areoi-element download2-block\">\r\n\t\t\t\r\n\t\t<div class=\"areoi-background  \">\r\n\t\t\t<div class=\"container-fluid\" style=\"padding: 0;\">\r\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"row justify-content-start\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col \">\r\n\t\t\t            <div class=\"areoi-background__color\" \r\n\t                        \tstyle=\"background: rgba(66, 132, 176,1)\">\r\n\t                        <\/div>\r\n\r\n\t                    \r\n\r\n\t                    \r\n\r\n\t                    \r\n\t    \t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t    \t\t<\/div>\r\n\t    \t<\/div>\r\n\t    <\/div>\r\n\t\r\n\t\t\t\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Download Linked Helper 2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"and-get-14-day-free-trial-right-now\"><\/span>and get 14-day free trial right now<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\r\n\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t<a \r\n\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\tclass=\"block-8b5d008f-4c2d-4b2d-a2af-e660be3e5cbe btn areoi-has-url position-relative btn-light\"\r\n\t href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedhelper.com\/member\/\" >\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\tDOWNLOAD \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t \r\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\r\n\t\t\t\n\n\n<p>If you are not yet in our list of users, then join. <br>We give you a trial version to start your experience with our LinkedIn tool.<\/p>\n\n\r\n\t\t\t \r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Put-it-on-autopilot\"><\/span>Put it on autopilot<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With all the hard work you\u2019ve done in finding, negotiating, and preparing the real LinkedIn accounts to help you with the outreach, take a break and save a little time on the outreach itself. <a href=\"https:\/\/support.linkedhelper.com\/hc\/en-us\/articles\/360015219400-How-to-manage-multiple-LinkedIn-accounts\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Managing multiple LinkedIn accounts<\/a> from one PC is easy as a breeze in Linked Helper, which is certainly an advantage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This will require 4 simple steps in Linked Helper:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Assess your computer power.
