How xlinked works

Everything in plain words: what you do, what we do, how you get paid, and why your account stays safe. No jargon, no surprises.

From connect to paid

1

Connect the LinkedIn you already have

One click connects your existing account. You don't make anything new. We quickly check it's a real, active account — that's all.

You'll need a normal LinkedIn account that you've had for a while and that has some connections. If it's brand new or empty, we'll let you know.
2

Link your Wise account

Tell us the Wise email where you want your money. Wise works in 71 countries and pays in your local currency. We never touch your money — Wise sends it, you receive it.

3

We view public data, quietly

Your account helps us view and extract public business information — the same things anyone browsing LinkedIn can see. It happens slowly and gently, on its own. You don't have to do anything.

4

Get paid on the 25th, every month

As long as you stay connected, $15 lands in your Wise on the 25th of each month. Stop whenever you like — what you've already earned still gets paid.

First payment comes on the 25th after you've been connected at least 14 days. Connect early in the month and you're paid that same month.
your account stays yours

What we do, and what we never do

The simplest way to say it: we only view public data. We never act as you.

what we do

  • View public profiles and company pages
  • View public posts and job listings
  • Go slowly and gently, so nothing looks unusual
  • Pause on their own if LinkedIn asks us to slow down

what we never do

  • Post, comment, or like anything
  • Send messages or connection requests
  • Change your profile, settings, or connections
  • Touch your money — Wise pays you directly

Honest note: lending your account sits in a grey area of LinkedIn's rules. We keep things gentle and you're always in control. In the rare case LinkedIn pauses your account, you simply lose that month — nothing more, and you owe us nothing.

All your questions

Yes. We only view public information — we never post, message, or change anything. We go slowly so nothing looks unusual, and you can disconnect with one button at any time.
