How to see a profile without being seen? The article step by step.

Many of you want go incognito on social networks.

On LinkedIn, the reasons can be multiple, some professionals prefer to remain invisible, to monitor the competition for example, others seek a job in a discreet way and do not want to reveal it.

Only on LinkedIn, the section “who viewed my profile” prevents you from going unnoticed by other members. Unlike Facebook or Twitter, LinkedIn displays your name when you visit a profile.

Would you like to navigate on LinkedIn while remaining invisible (private mode)? It’s possible ! However, you will either have to suffer a (minor) inconvenience or get your hands on the wallet.

You have the choice between hiding your first and last name, hiding job or choosing total anonymity (also called LinkedIn private mode).

LinkedIn Free Account VS Premium Account

If LinkedIn is completely free, there are, however, premium features intended for professionals, whether for B2B or B2C, or job seekers.

You have the choice between a free account, or opt for one of the four premium subscriptions: the career subscription, the business subscription, the sales subscription or the recruitment subscription. Each one has its own specificities which I detail in this article: the 4 premium LinkedIn subscriptions.

Most members use LinkedIn for free because they don’t see the point of becoming a premium member. While LinkedIn offers a lot of free features, opting for a premium account has some unique benefits.

However, in premium as in free, LinkedIn offers you the possibility to browse in private mode under certain conditions.

So here’s how to see a profile without being seen:

  • Go to your profile and click on “preferences and privacy”.
View LinkedIn Profile without being seen: preferences and confidentiality

In just a few clicks, you have just become invisible on LinkedIn, completely free of charge. This choice to become invisible will be followed by a major drawback for your business: you will no longer be able to view your statistics and you will no longer be able to see who has viewed your profile. We call it backlash.

The benefits of a premium account looking at a LinkedIn profile without being seen

To overcome this drawback while keeping the advantage of being invisible, you must opt for a premium account. Only the premium account makes you invisible without any compensation and disadvantage. Seeing without being seen, you kill two birds with one stone!

If you are considering choosing a premium account because you are not ready to sacrifice the “who viewed your LinkedIn profile” feature then I invite you to compare the four premium LinkedIn subscription plans.

See a LinkedIn profile without being seen: in conclusion

Even if transparency is the order of the day, you have the possibility of opting for an anonymous and private navigation . If this represents a disadvantage, there is always the possibility of choosing between one of the 4 premium subscriptions of LinkedIn to benefit from the advantages without suffering the disadvantages. If you want to use this feature on an ad hoc basis, there is no need to opt for a premium subscription. Consult the profiles after activating the option and deactivate it once your anonymous visit is over to find all the functionalities.

Your choice will depend on your goal …
