What do you get when AI meets LinkedIn? A shiny Top Voice Badge for your Profile! Want One? Here's the ultimate guide


Did you know . . .

So what's up with those Top Voice Badges you see on Profiles?

How can you get one?

Some background first...

LinkedIn Collaborative Articles (LCA) are the vehicle to get a badge on your profile. These articles have turned out to be a huge success for all involved.? Collaborative Articles have seen a 4x increase in weekly member contributions quarter-over-quarter, with, cumulatively, over 10 million contributions in the past year.?

According to LinkedIn, “We’ve improved how we distribute contributions in members’ feeds and notifications, showing members the most relevant ones for their careers — and have seen a 316% weekly increase in members reacting to contributions since September.”

And, readers are actually reading the contributions, not just giving a “like”.?

LinkedIn noted that weekly readership of Collaborative Articles has increased more than 270% since September.

If you aren't taking advantage of LinkedIn's Collaborative Articles, it's time to consider making this part of your LinkedIn routine.

These 6 upgrades will boost your visibility and reach on LinkedIn and BEYOND!?

  1. More Languages Supported - German, Brazilian Portuguese, Spanish, and French contributions are now supported.
  2. New Search Filter -LinkedIn is also adding a Collaborative Article filter in search to help users find more relevant insights, and articles to contribute to.
  3. The Top Voice Badge - not exactly new but extremely popular and sought after - Want yours? Click HERE to learn how to get your badge.
  4. Reply to contributions - To expand reader engagement, LinkedIn now allows readers to reply to the contributed perspectives. This new development fosters a sense of community and encourages deeper discussions around the topics covered in the articles
  5. Thumbs Down Button - LinkedIn has also added a new “unhelpful” button. It's not clear how this will be helpful.
  6. Indexed on Google - Increased Visibility and Reach - These articles and the contributions are indexed on Google, meaning they can reach a much wider audience beyond LinkedIn itself.?

So, Now You Know…

I'll revisit the Top Voices. I had mine and lost it. I kept contributing while I had it, but I guess not enough. I did tons of contributing to try and get it back, but no luck. Then I saw one person copy/pasting sentences directly from the article as their "contribution" to it. I tried to report it but there was no way to because it wasn't abusive. So the thumbs down button will be great for people like that! Maybe with AI I can comment on enough to get the upvotes to get the badge back. Thanks for keeping us in the know Laura Barker, JD,!

Laura Barker, JD, thank you for providing this detailed information on contributions. For too long, the effective use of this LinkedIn feature has been opaque. I particularly like thenew feature to comment on collaborations and the fact that they are indexed by Google. There's a lot of great information in collaboration articles and effective use will only make them more useful.
