LinkedIn just rolled out Advice Sessions — paid 1-on-1 consultations you can book and run directly on the platform. Live in the U.S. now.

Same update also brings In-Stream Ads for invited creators. Pre-roll ads on eligible video = revenue share. Still in test mode, invite-only.

Brands get new search filters to find creators by audience focus, expertise, and content format.

Honest take: rare to see a platform actually value professional time as something worth paying for directly, peer-to-peer. Not everything has to be ad-driven extraction.

If you're a creator or consultant in crypto/Web3 space, this could be a solid side channel to monetize expertise without shilling tokens.
