How it works
Create your profile and pick your fee. Even $10 filters 90% of noise — use a number that makes you stop and read.
Drop vetted.so/yourname in your LinkedIn bio, email signature, or wherever you get inbound. That's your filter.
You get an email when a vetted message arrives. Reply normally. Payment routes to your account the moment you do.

Pricing
For experts

No monthly fee. No subscription. No minimum. Your link is yours permanently. If no messages come through, you pay nothing. There is genuinely nothing to lose.
Our cut
10–15%
Vetted takes 10–15% of each transaction. Senders pay upfront; the fee is held in escrow until you reply. Upon reply, the net amount routes to your account.
You're not buying a product. You're adding a filter to something you already have.
Questions
That's fine — you can adjust it any time. Most experts start at $50–$100. Think about what price would make you stop and read a message. Set it there.
Completely. InMail is used for cold sales and recruiting. Vetted is async, off-platform, and addressed to you directly. It's a different social contract.
You can decline a message and the sender gets refunded. No pressure to reply to anything you're not comfortable with.
Vetted works best for people with a LinkedIn presence. But it works anywhere you'd share a link — your website, email signature, Twitter bio.
You set your own response window. Most experts set 5–7 business days. Senders see this upfront before they pay.
Fix that in 3 minutes.
