Frequently Asked Questions

How much do LinkedIn influencers charge per post?

LinkedIn influencer rates are typically higher than other platforms due to the B2B audience value. Creators with 10K-50K followers charge $200-$1,000 per post, those with 50K-150K followers charge $1,000-$3,500, and thought leaders with 150K+ followers can charge $3,500-$15,000+ per post. The professional audience commands premium rates.

Why are LinkedIn sponsorship rates higher than other platforms?

LinkedIn's audience consists primarily of professionals and decision-makers, making it valuable for B2B brands. The average LinkedIn user has higher purchasing power and often influences business buying decisions. This professional context justifies rates 2-3x higher than similar reach on consumer-focused platforms.

What's a LinkedIn newsletter mention worth?

Newsletter mentions command premium rates because subscribers actively opted in and open rates are typically 30-50% (vs. 2-5% feed visibility). A newsletter mention in a 10K+ subscriber newsletter can cost $1,000-$5,000+ depending on the creator's niche relevance and subscriber engagement.

Should I use a document carousel or regular post?

Document carousels (PDF slideshows) typically generate 2-3x more engagement than regular posts and command 20-30% higher rates. They're ideal for educational content, step-by-step guides, or data presentations. The format encourages saves and shares, extending content lifespan.

What's a good engagement rate on LinkedIn?

A good LinkedIn engagement rate is 2-5%, with top creators achieving 5-10%+. Calculate by dividing engagements (likes + comments + shares) by impressions × 100. Comments are particularly valuable on LinkedIn as they significantly boost algorithmic reach and indicate genuine professional interest.
