That’s right and as much as it may seem a fad, it’s quite true. Either you are a healthcare professional, a pharma company, a manufacturer, a contractor or a small business owner looking for getting the word out or looking for Internet Marketing ideas, you will be most commonly queried – Do you have a Blog? Are you on Social Media? And if you look around you-you will notice that most thought leaders – be it companies or Individuals – have a “Voice”. And also they are constantly publishing either on their website, adding new pages, may be authoring an eBook or a blog (BTW-I recently wrote an eBook myself on 11 strategies to Dominate Page 1 of Search Engines in 90 days) or on microsites like Twitter, Instagram, creating infographics on Pinterest and what not…. There’s always a way to voice your opinions on a subject matter.
With technological advancements – social channels seem to be in a competitive turf to attract followers, engage their members and essentially create value for their network. Over the last year, LinkedIn has evolved a lot and if you’d like to read more about my past LinkedIn posts-feel free to browse the Digital Marketing Hub (Yes, our blog is named DMX Hub)!
So in this ever-changing competitive environment – new to the realm of publishing is the LinkedIn Publishing Platform. With an objective to create a platform for members to share professional insights & successes and contribute, LinkedIn has scheduled to roll out the LinkedIn Publisher Platform. It’s not the same as LinkedIn Influencer but a very similar mode for members to post detailed longform posts about their expertise and professional interests.
LinkedIn Influencer Program membership is a designation that LinkedIn chooses to give to the industry leaders and is a selection-only program. LinkedIn works with these influencers to create engaging, thought-provoking content to create further value for its members. The content produced by the influencers is created based on careful planning and considering the needs of LinkedIn member base; whereas LinkedIn Publishing Software is a self publishing platform that will eventually be extended to all the members.
Upon appraisal, I think it’s a GREAT way for business owners and professionals to build better relationships with connections and create new followers.
And if for some reason, after this post, you notice that you haven’t been sent an invite, then please don’t be disappointed as it’s a fairly new roll-out. And if you’d like to get an early acceptance, (Yes, somewhat like a university early acceptance) fill out this short form – http://specialedition.linkedin.com/publishing/
