How LinkedIn Thought Leaders Turn Their Audience Into Paid Communities Using Giveable

LinkedIn is the land of exposure. You can post an idea at 9AM and land a meeting with a Fortune 500 executive by noon. However, what most people never talk about is the other side of the platform: visibility does not equal revenue.

You can have tens of thousands of followers, a calendar full of DMs, viral posts every month, yet your bank account stays stagnant. Why? Because traditional monetization on LinkedIn is passive. You hope someone hires you. You hope someone books a call. You hope inbound leads turn into paying clients.

LinkedIn is designed to build authority, not income.

Giveable flips the script.

Instead of trying to convert followers into one-off clients, LinkedIn creators can build a paid community of monthly supporters  - people who want access to deeper insights, private conversations, templates, resources, and proximity.

Giveable introduces what LinkedIn doesn’t:
a clear path to go from Audience → Community → Supporters → Recurring Revenue


The Problem: Followers Don’t Equal Revenue

Here’s the real pain LinkedIn creators face:

LinkedIn rewards visibility, not monetization.

Creators are stuck in a loop:

  1. Create value
  2. Get attention
  3. Try to sell something
  4. Repeat every month

There is no continuity.
No recurring income.
No scalable community infrastructure.

You're only as profitable as your latest post.


The Shift: Community Monetization

Top LinkedIn creators are realizing that recurring revenue beats one-off sales.

People don’t want another coaching offer.
They want access.
They want connection.
They want belonging.

Giveable gives creators the ability to build a paid community with a Giving Page  - a personalized support link where followers opt in to join a private circle.

Imagine this message at the bottom of a LinkedIn post:

“If my content brings value, you can join my private creator community here.”

Followers who resonate will support.
Not because they are buying a product.
But because they believe in the creator’s mission.


The Solution: Giveable Giving Pages for LinkedIn Creators

Giveable lets creators build their own recurring income system.

Here’s what LinkedIn creators can do on Giveable:

The strategy is simple:
Followers engage on LinkedIn.
Supporters contribute on Giveable.


Real World Scenario (Typical LinkedIn Creator)

A LinkedIn creator with 7,500 followers posts daily insights about career growth and personal branding. They consistently get 30,000+ monthly post views, yet their revenue from coaching is unpredictable  - some months are heavy, others are dry.

They set up a Giving Page using Giveable.

Tier example:

They add the support link in every post and place it prominently in the LinkedIn Featured section.

In the first 60 days:

Total recurring monthly income:

(90 x $7) + (22 x $25) + (6 x $97)
= $630 + $550 + $582
= $1,762/month  - recurring

All from the audience they already had.

Not from selling harder.
From building belonging.


Why Giveable Works on LinkedIn

People follow creators there for knowledge, not casual entertainment.

This is what makes Giveable a perfect pairing.

On LinkedIn:

Giveable acts as the bridge between:

Unlike tip jars or donation pages, Giveable is purpose-built for recurring support tied to community engagement.

It gives your followers a reason to stick around  - and a path to contribute.


The Emotional Trigger: Identity

On YouTube, people are fans.
On Instagram, people are spectators.
On LinkedIn, people are peers and partners.

Followers aren’t just consuming content  - they’re aligning with a mission.

They join because they feel like:
“I’m part of this. I want to support what you’re building.”

Giveable turns belief into fuel.
It makes support tangible.


The Business Case: Recurring Revenue

Let’s cut through the fluff.

Recurring revenue:

There is nothing more liberating than waking up each month and knowing your income is not dependent on your next viral post.

With Giveable:

LinkedIn becomes the lead attraction engine.
Giveable becomes the monetization engine.


What to Expect When You Start

When creators launch their Giving Page, there’s usually a direct spike in signups from their warmest followers  - the people who have liked every post, commented for months, and resonate deeply with the creator’s mission.

You don’t need 10,000 followers to start.

You need people who care.

The first supporters become your foundation.
They become your inner circle.
They become your recurring revenue.


Final Thoughts

LinkedIn is incredible for visibility.
Giveable is incredible for sustainability.

When combined, they allow creators to build:

Your audience already values your ideas.
Giveable lets them invest in your mission.

Create your Giving Page and start transforming followers into supporters
