How to pay half the price for LinkedIn Premium

Have you taken a look at LinkedIn Premium’s prices recently? From €119.99 a month for the Business version to nearly €1,000 a year, it’s hard to resist. However, LinkedIn has launched a discreet but revolutionary solution: LinkedIn Premium Duo.

Coupled with the Sharesub platform, this offer allows you to dramatically divide your costs while maintaining total confidentiality. Here’s how to take advantage.

What is LinkedIn Premium Duo?

The LinkedIn Premium Duo package is an official offer enabling two people to share the benefits of Premium (Career or Business) under a single invoice.

Contrary to popular belief, this is not a shared account with a common password. Each member has his or her own space, messages and private searches. The “primary member” pays the bill, and the “secondary member” benefits from the options free of charge.

LinkedIn Premium vs Linkedin Duo price comparison

Why choose LinkedIn Duo over classic Premium?

If you’re on the fence between the two, there’s no difference in functionality. You benefit from the same advantages:

• Access to LinkedIn Learning (15,000+ training courses).
• InMail credits to contact anyone.
• Complete view of who has viewed your profile.
• Detailed application statistics.

The only distinction is administrative: only the primary subscriber manages billing. For the secondary subscriber, the experience is strictly identical to an individual subscription paid at full price.

Prerequisites for taking advantage of the offer

This is where many users block. For sharing to work, you need to follow these strict LinkedIn rules:

1. The computer is mandatory

At present, you can only subscribe to Premium Duo via the LinkedIn website on a computer. The option is not available on the mobile application (iOS/Android).

2. No active subscription

To become a primary or secondary member of a Duo group, you do not need to have an active subscription (Career, Business, Sales Navigator or Recruiter Lite).

• Solution: If you are already a subscriber, you must cancel your current offer and wait until the end of the billing period before joining a Duo group on Sharesub.

3. Existing subscribers

If you are already paying for an individual subscription, LinkedIn does not allow you to use the “Change subscription” option to switch directly to Duo. You must go through a “free account” phase before switching to the shared offer.

How do I share my LinkedIn subscription on Sharesub?

To turn your LinkedIn subscription into a source of savings, the procedure is simple via Sharesub.

1. Subscribe to the Duo offer

Connect to LinkedIn on your computer (the option is not yet available on mobile). Go to Premium settings and choose the “Duo” option when subscribing.

2. Create an ad on Sharesub

So you don’t have to look for a partner yourself, create an ad on Sharesub. The platform secures payment: each month, you receive your co-subscriber’s share directly into your account.

3. Invite your co-subscriber

Once someone has joined your Sharesub group, send them the official invitation by e-mail via the LinkedIn interface. As soon as they accept, they become your Premium “buddy”.

Is confidentiality guaranteed?

It’s question #1: “Will my co-subscriber see my messages?”. The answer is NO.

LinkedIn guarantees perfect watertightness. Your co-subscriber cannot see your searches, your private messages or the profiles you consult. The only link between you is the global invoice paid by the main member.
