My linkedin account1/16/2024 ![]() The upside is that a social media manager could schedule a client’s activity without having to keep logging in as that person. Scheduling tools such as Buffer and HootSuite can be used to schedule LinkedIn posts. I hold them accountable AND help them to be efficient with their time. I post the content via a scheduler, and advise the client on engagement and outreach. I hand-hold the process on personal profiles. In practice, virtual assistants and social media managers will be doing this a lot for clients. Imagine sending a direct message to someone and having someone else pretending to be that person answer you. It’s the real-world alternative to using a VPN but it’s not at all convenient unless the client happens to be nearby and agreeable to such working practices.īeing really picky, allowing someone else to control your LinkedIn account like this amounts to impersonation. Ī social media manager or virtual assistant at the same physical location as their client could manage that person’s account on their behalf without setting off any red flags at LinkedIn. Using another person’s account at their premises. You can still sign up (in Experience sections) as working for any company that has a Page, as far as I know. If you’re working with a client longer term, I’d consider presenting as an employee (co-worker) and connecting with top targets on your own profile, too. How often this actually happens, I can’t say, and there’d be a negative financial incentive for LinkedIn to doing this to many of their paying customers. We have to consider the severe consequences if LinkedIn did decide to take action: an account might be restricted or banned altogether. In the real world, a single account holder couldn’t do that, and that might be noticed at LinkedIn’s end. I don’t know how sophisticated LinkedIn’s checks are, but it’s reasonable to assume that doing something like the following might raise a red flag somewhere: ![]() If only one person were logged into an account at a time, the chances of LinkedIn detecting any unusual activity would be low. LinkedIn’s detection of this activity will be based in part on them seeing multiple logins from different IP addresses (think of these as digital addresses on the internet). Still, many people do it (no doubt including a lot of the mega influencers). This is expressly against the User Agreement. The simplest option is for a client to share their LinkedIn login details with their social media manager. I’m happy to support creating content alongside them but engaging and messaging should be coming from them if they want to build their profile and network. I manage a lot of company pages on LinkedIn and often have senior leaders asking if I can also manage their personal profiles mostly because of time restraints.Īlthough I totally understand why they are asking, I personally feel that personal profiles need to be authentic.
