Renting or Buying LinkedIn Accounts - What Is Better?


Renting vs Buying LinkedIn Accounts

If you’re running lead generation campaigns on LinkedIn then you probably understand how important having reliable LinkedIn accounts is for that process. In fact, we can easily argue that LinkedIn accounts are far more important than the tools you use to automate activity. Remember, an outreach tool without a LinkedIn account is worthless, it’s just a blank canvas. However, a LinkedIn account by itself can still send connections, follow-ups, and essentially generate new business for your company. 


When it comes to LinkedIn accounts, you have three different options: you can either buy them, create them yourself, or rent them. In this article we will cover the pros and cons of each and by the end of this you will have enough information to make the best decision for your LinkedIn campaigns. 


Option 1: Creating A LinkedIn Account


Your first option would be to create a LinkedIn account from scratch. You can use a fake LinkedIn profile or one based on a real person who gave you the consent to do so. However, there are a couple of things to take into consideration. Newer LinkedIn profiles need to be warmed up for months before they can be used in outreach campaigns. They also tend to get restricted quite often and are very unstable at least for their first six months. Creating LinkedIn profiles for outreach is a cost-effective route but a not so effective one, time-wise. If, on top of this, you get a fake LinkedIn profile you created restricted then you can say goodbye to it for good and restart again.


Option 2: Buying A LinkedIn Account


Your second option would be to buy a LinkedIn account and use it for outreach. You can find multiple LinkedIn account providers in the Internet but thread carefully, most are scammers just trying to trick you into sending them money for LinkedIn accounts that will get banned immediately or, worse, no LinkedIn accounts at all. Buying LinkedIn accounts will only leave you with fake profiles that, once banned, can’t get verified with IDs (as they have none). This can get annoying quite fast, so though it might seem like a cheaper short term solution, down the road it makes you burn money. 


Option 3: Renting A LinkedIn Account


Your third and by far the best option would be to rent a LinkedIn account. Renting a LinkedIn account gives you access to real accounts from real people with real IDs you can use to verify them. Renting real LinkedIn accounts is the only solution that can provide a stable outreach over the long term. However, when renting LinkedIn accounts you have two options. You can either rent fake LinkedIn accounts that often get banned and can’t get verified or you can do the opposite and rent real LinkedIn accounts from providers like Akountify.


Now that you know your three options, it would be good if you take action and see what might be better for your use case. Remember always that having an army of LinkedIn accounts is always better than having an army of tools with no accounts to use on them.
