LinkedIn does not take a cut of brand deal income, deals are invoiced directly by the creator. Revenue is entirely deal-flow dependent.
No platform revenue share on brand deals or consulting income. LinkedIn newsletter sponsorships are negotiated directly with brands. LinkedIn Learning royalties apply only to courses hosted on LinkedIn Learning itself.
