One of the most common questions I get asked about LinkedIn is:?
“How do I become a LinkedIn Top Voice?”?
If this is one of your goals for this year, you’re in the right place.??
If we’ve not met, I’m Marielle, a global speaker, LinkedIn Top Voice & LinkedIn Learning Instructor.?
Even if you don’t want to be a Top Voice, it's still good to have a solid personal brand strategy for LinkedIn to establish credibility and attract opportunities.?
We need to stay ready before we need to get ready, whether we work a 9-to-5 role, own a business, or are in between jobs.?
What is a LinkedIn Top Voice?
There are currently 1 billion users on LinkedIn. Each year, LinkedIn honours only 300 of these users with the blue "LinkedIn Top Voice badge.” This is an invite-only opportunity.?The blue badge signifies that you’re an authority and expert in a specific area.?
It’s different from the gold Community Top Voices badge, which can be more easily gained by contributing to articles on the LinkedIn platform.?

5 Tips to Become a LinkedIn Top Voice
1. Create a strong LinkedIn profile
This may seem like a simple tip, but you’d be surprised by the number of people who don’t fill out their LinkedIn profiles appropriately. Your LinkedIn profile is your digital shop window. Dress it up! Make it look professional and not dull.?(Watch my YouTube video for tips on creating a client-attracting LinkedIn profile).
2. Become a great storyteller
Facts tell, stories sell.?Share great content with stories. (Watch my latest YouTube video for detailed storytelling examples).
3. Be consistent and engage
Post regularly and interact with other users' content. This doesn't mean you need to post every day, but you do need to have a strong presence. Instead of posting every single day, I like to take regular breaks where I reply to comments, engage with other people’s content, and respond to DMs. This will help you stay relevant and increase your visibility on the platform.
4. Be polarising
Remember, no one has your energy. Show up as you. Don’t feel you must be a cookie-cutter version of everyone else on LinkedIn. Share your unique perspective, and don't be afraid to push the boundaries.
5. Be patient and persistent
Building your presence on LinkedIn takes time, so keep going even if you don't see immediate results. Keep improving and adjusting your strategy along the way.
