LinkedIn is a professional social network critical for B2B marketing, recruiting, lead generation, and personal branding. Phone number requirements are not always mandatory, but for scaling often multiple accounts are needed. We explain how to create a LinkedIn profile farm on virtual numbers without blocks.

LinkedIn verification requirements

When a number is required

  • During registration (not always, but often under suspicious activity)
  • During unusual login (new device, new country, VPN)
  • When attempting to restore access
  • When enabling 2FA (two-factor authentication)
  • Sometimes when mass messaging (LinkedIn requires a number for account "verification")

Key LinkedIn feature

LinkedIn requires a number less often than Meta, but more strictly controls "farms". If you create 20 accounts in a row from one IP with identical data, LinkedIn will detect and may ban all of it. LinkedIn also requires "authenticity": real name, real work experience (at least minimum).

Choosing a number for LinkedIn

What LinkedIn accepts

  • Numbers from all countries: LinkedIn accepts numbers from any country.
  • Virtual numbers: work 97%+.
  • USA/European numbers: maximum reliability (LinkedIn is an American company).
  • Other countries: work, but higher chance of requiring additional verification.

Best countries

  1. USA (+1) — 99%, standard
  2. Great Britain (+44) — 99%
  3. Canada (+1) — 99%
  4. Europe (Germany +49, France +33, Netherlands +31) — 98%+
  5. Other countries — 95%+

Step-by-step guide: Creating a LinkedIn account

Option 1: Via website (linkedin.com) — recommended

Step 1: Go to linkedin.com.

Step 2: Click "Join now" (or "Join" if in Russian).

Step 3: Fill in the registration form:

  • Email (new, not used on other LinkedIn accounts)
  • Password (minimum 8 characters, mixed case, numbers)

Step 4: Click "Agree & join". LinkedIn will send an email to confirm.

Step 5: Click the link in the email (or enter the code if requested).

Step 6: Fill in your profile:

  • First Name (name, can be incorrect, but realistic)
  • Last Name (surname)
  • Country (country)
  • Postal Code (optional, can skip)

Step 7: LinkedIn may require a phone number at this stage (or later). If it does:

  • Order a LinkedIn number on turbon.rent (USA recommended).
  • Select the country in LinkedIn, enter the number.
  • LinkedIn will send SMS with a code.
  • Copy the code from turbon.rent and enter it in LinkedIn.

Step 8: Set profession (Job Title, e.g. "Marketing Manager", "Business Owner", "Consultant" — something realistic).

Step 9: LinkedIn may offer to import contacts or skip. Choose "Skip".

Step 10: Upload a profile photo (recommended, increases trust. Use a photo from the internet, not a celebrity).

Step 11: Write a "Headline" (under the name, roughly 120 characters, e.g. "Marketing Manager | B2B Growth | 10+ years experience").

Step 12: Add a brief biography (About, 1–2 paragraphs about experience and skills).

Step 13: Done! Profile created. Start adding contacts and joining groups.

Option 2: If a number is required during registration

Process: repeat steps 1–6 above, but at the profile completion stage LinkedIn may immediately require a number (step 7 speeds up).

Option 3: If LinkedIn requires an ID (rare)

Description: in rare cases LinkedIn requires uploading an ID when creating an account (usually if it looks suspicious).

Solution: upload real ID (if you have) or fake (LinkedIn rarely checks). If you don't want to—just decline and move to a new account.

Case: creating 15 LinkedIn profiles for a B2B agency

Business: B2B agency (marketing, consulting, PR) creates a network of profiles for establishing contact with potential clients (CFO, directors, owners), generating leads, and positioning the company as an industry expert.

Infrastructure:

  • 15 email accounts (different domains for realism)
  • 15 virtual numbers (USA, approximately $0.30 each, total $4.50)
  • 7–10 mobile proxy (different IP)
  • 15 realistic profiles (photos, titles, biographies in English)

Creation process:

  1. Days 1–2: create 5 profiles (one every 30 minutes), fill in basic information.
  2. Days 3–4: add photos, biography, work experience (fake, but realistic).
  3. Days 5–6: add to contacts (starting with popular people in the industry, 2–3 contacts per day per profile).
  4. Days 7–14: participate in groups (LinkedIn Business Groups by industry), comment on posts, publish own content (1 post per week per profile).
  5. Days 15–30: send personal messages to potential clients (2–3 messages per day per profile).

Results over a month:

  • 15 profiles created and active
  • Each profile has 200–500 contacts
  • Daily activity: 5–10 interactions per profile (comments, likes, messages)
  • Leads: 5–15 potential clients per day (from all 15 profiles combined)
  • ROI: $4.50 numbers + $50 proxy = $54.50 investment. Revenue: $50000+ per month (from lead generation, contracts with new clients).

Security strategy for LinkedIn farms

Rule 1: Realistic profiles

LinkedIn automatically filters fake accounts. Use real names (can be incorrect, but sound natural), realistic photos (not celebrities, ordinary people), work experience (fake, but logical).

Rule 2: One number = one account

This is critical. LinkedIn will track one-to-many and can ban the entire network.

Rule 3: Different IP is mandatory

If you create a farm of 15 profiles from one IP, LinkedIn will detect it in a week. Use mobile proxy (1 proxy for 2–3 profiles, alternate).

Rule 4: Natural activity pattern

Don't send 100 connection requests in a day. LinkedIn limits: roughly 50 requests per day on a new profile, then 100–200 per day on a "developed" profile. Respect these limits.

Rule 5: Personalized messages

When messaging potential clients, personalize each message. Don't send copypaste. LinkedIn checks this and can ban for spam.

Risks and how to avoid them

Risk 1: Number doesn't arrive

Probability: < 1% (LinkedIn works very well).

Solution: if not received in 2 minutes, order a new number on turbon.rent (free replacement).

Risk 2: Profile "limited visibility" (soft ban)

Description: LinkedIn may limit profile visibility if it looks like a farm (too many actions too quickly).

Solution: if this happens, just stop activity for a week. LinkedIn usually removes the restriction after 7–14 days.

Risk 3: Hard ban (full block)

Reason: multiple spam complaints, Terms of Service violation (buying followers, fake profile etc.), or LinkedIn simply suspected a farm.

Solution: if this happens, the profile is lost. Create new ones. With the rules above, hard ban is unlikely (< 5% of farms per month).

Risk 4: Requiring additional verification

Action: LinkedIn may require uploading an ID, confirming a work email (if you specified a company) or other documents. If you don't want to—just decline and use the profile in "light" mode (without company, without payments).

LinkedIn Premium vs Free

  • Free profile: 100% sufficient for lead generation and networking. Limitations: only see names of those who viewed, limited SMS per week.
  • Premium ($39/month): needed for scaling (unlimited SMS, see full profiles of viewers). But not recommended for farms (requires real card, attracts attention).
  • Sales Navigator ($80/month): for salespeople, advanced search. Also not recommended for farms (too obvious).

For farms use only Free profiles.

Conclusion

LinkedIn is an excellent channel for B2B lead generation and networking. A virtual number on turbon.rent works with LinkedIn 97%+, cheap and reliable.

Main rules: realistic profiles, one number per one account, different IP, natural activity (no more than 50 requests per day on a new profile), personalized messages. When followed—LinkedIn profiles live months and years, bringing 50–300 qualified leads per month.

Start with 3–5 profiles, make sure they're building contacts and leads, then scale to 15–20. LinkedIn is a long-term investment in B2B business.
