Hi all ;)
I'm dealing with verification problem on my Linkedin account which was suspended few month ago.
Since then I'm trying to find other way to scale up my contact list/net for buissness purpose. - affiliate marketing
I tried Facebook group's and couple more platform's with no result.
And I decide to ask you for help
Do you know any similar site/platform or forum to Linkedin ?

LinkedIn’s still the default, but yeah—it’s gotten kinda stale. Xing’s decent if you’re in DACH, and Lunchclub’s cool for more personal 1:1 connects. I’ve seen a few newer platforms pop up lately trying to make networking less robotic, but nothing's really taken off yet. Would be great to hear if anyone’s actually gotten leads or gigs off the smaller ones.

You could try Xing, Opportunity, Meetup, or niche industry forums — plus Twitter (X) and Reddit for networking in your niche.

Several platforms offer alternatives to LinkedIn for
professional networking and job searching, including
platforms like Xing, AngelList, and Meetup, as well as
industry-specific options like GitHub and Behance.

Depending on your needs, you can find alternatives that
better suit your career goals, industry, or desired
user experience
 
If you can’t use LinkedIn, try Xing (good in EU), Opportunity, AngelList, and niche B2B forums. Also, Twitter + industry-specific Slack/Discord groups can work well for building an affiliate network.

Sorry to hear about your LinkedIn issue. A few alternatives you can explore for business networking and affiliate scaling are:


X Great for engaging with industry leaders
Slack/Discord communities, Many niche groups for marketers and affiliates
also Reddit, Quor, both Build authority by answering and connecting
Also, consider building an email list and using cold outreach tools like Lemlist or Instantly
 
Losing LinkedIn makes it harder to find quality contacts, and other platforms often bring slower results and less engagement.

Is there a fee to join these forums and is it easy to maintain a stable account on these, friend?

LinkedIn will continue to serve as a core platform for attracting potential customers in the B2B field, but the rules may be stricter. However, as long as there are no violations, when encountering security restrictions, you can restore your account by submitting identity verification as required.
 
You could try Xing (popular in Europe) or Opportunity (AI-driven networking) as LinkedIn alternatives.
Also consider Reddit communities and niche-specific forums for affiliate marketing they can be less saturated and more targeted.
If you want B2B leads, Alignable is another option worth testing.
 
Try forums like Warrior Forum or STM Forum. Many experienced people there. Also, look for active Reddit communities or even Discord servers focused on affiliate marketing.
 
Looks like OP was using linkedin for old school affiliate marketing. You don't really need linkedin for that.
