So, how do you go about anonymous consulting?
In this post, we'll show you how to get a second salary by consulting anonymously on LinkedIn. We'll also share some tips on how to get started and how to find clients.
If you work for enough years, you'll acquire a lot of knowledge. Most of the time, it'll just stay in your memory somewhere as you evolve and automate business processes for your employer. There are some ways to take advantage of this accumulated knowledge.
Do you know how many businesses exist on the planet?
The answer is more than 200 million. Businesses have been around for centuries, and they continue to grow and change today. There are a variety of reasons for this, including the ever-growing global economy and the advances in technology.
There are a variety of types of businesses, from small businesses that have just a few employees to large companies with thousands of employees. There are also a variety of businesses in different industries, such as technology, retail, and business services.
The global economy is growing increasingly complex, and this is good news for businesses. Businesses need to be able to adapt to changing conditions, and this is why they are thriving. There are also a number of new businesses being started every day, and this means there is always something new to explore.
To be successful in the current business environment, it is essential for companies to be able to efficiently manage their customer base, accelerate their revenue growth, use the right software to automate boring tasks, cut efficiently costs and emissions, save safely their files, promote their products in the right place, register to the right b2b conference, decrease production time, find the right discounts, get the right market insights, and more. However, many companies may not be aware of all the tools and methods available to them to achieve these goals.
Are all of them successful?
The correct answer is most likely no. And this is why consulting is strategically important.
What are the benefits of consulting?
Consulting is a great way to achieve a goal faster or minimize potential mistakes when you invest. Consulting firms have a wealth of experience and knowledge to offer their clients, and they are often able to provide tailored solutions that help clients achieve their objectives more quickly and with fewer errors.
Consulting firms can help you identify and address any potential obstacles before they become problems. They can also provide expert advice on how to best take advantage of opportunities that may be available, and they can help you avoid common pitfalls that can lead to unsuccessful investments.
Consultants provide expert opinions, analysis, and recommendations to organizations or individuals, based on their own expertise. They're essentially fixers, serving as objective troubleshooters, and providing strategies to prevent problems and improve performance.
Okay, so do companies actually pay for that?
The answer is yes, they pay $132bn.?
Do these consulting companies have the expertise they need to consult and secure all these billions?
Of course not!?
They need to find experts online for paid consultations done remotely ( over the phone).
Where they go to find experts?
The answer is: Linkedin.
As I have some experience with partner ecosystems and software, I wrote it in my Linkedin bio. I got contacted and participated in a few anonymous calls with companies overseas, just to share my personal views, tips, and perspectives about things that are possible to find with a public google search, without breaching the trust of my current clients.

Many people are heavily impacted by the hyper inflation and not 100% of the employers are offering salary adjustments that can preserve a real salary this year. In fact from personal conversation with my peers I perceive a sense of humiliation and great discomfort when it comes to discuss a salary adjustment. It seems like many people are resigned to accepting very low salaries this year and are not hopeful about the future. It's unfortunate because a salary adjustment could help to preserve a real salary and provide some stability in this unstable economy.
Many professionals start the hustle of taking new interviews and several hours of preparations just hoping to get a job offer to be then able to ask the employers to finally allow a rise to keep them.
I have been there too. Some times a workplace is comfortable and positive but we all have expenses to cover so we are forced to struggle to cover our expenses. This can be a difficult decision to make, but we maintain our sanity and financial stability without painful measures.
In this light a sporadic consultation opportunity can really do wonders to get even with inflation or even becoming a good side hustle without spending a lot of time doing marketing.
Do you want to find these companies and enter their database to be contacted?

There is a faster way to be part of these networks at no cost, it involves automation and I would be glad to tell you about it. Comment YES below and I will share with you my strategy.
It's important not to provide any confidential or non-public information to the client – they won't ask for it and don't want to hear it. Violating compliance rules is the fastest way to be permanently kicked off an expert network. It can be tempting to share something you shouldn't with the client – they're paying you and you want to be helpful – but don't do it! If you're unsure how to answer their question without providing non-public information, tell the client and they will move on.
Provide high level, generalized answers along the lines of “I can’t really share what I know about …, but let me tell you, more generally, ….” Additionally, familiarize yourself with what information is out in the public domain, even if it is hard to find. If there is information they could uncover on their own through public sources like Google or SEC filings it’s generally not going to be considered non-public and you can have at it!
