Curious ❓ about LinkedIn Influencers, Top Voices, and Community Top Voices? The global LinkedIn Influencers program was "invitation 📨 only" and has been turned into the newer "Top Voices." These folks have a blue 🥏 badge which signifies their esteemed position within LinkedIn. The newest influence-type recognition on LinkedIn is also called "Top Voices" but is open to the community. In order to receive this gold 🏅 badge, you need to be selected as a result of your "noteworthy contributions" to collaborative 🗞 articles. The designation lasts 60 days. You can see my new Top Voices badge below in the screenshot. Notice it just below my headline. So my question is this..........does a badge and distinction like this from LinkedIn motivate you to contribute to the articles? #linkedin #community #topvoices
It might make me more likely to follow the person or read the article but I'm not sure it would influence my decision to comment.
It would be an incentive to contribute more to articles if A) it meant that I had more visibility to my target audience and B) I knew how much I had to contribute in order to receive the badge. Do you know what the criteria is more precisely for the badge Sandra Long? Also, thank you for letting us know about this, and congratulations on getting the recognition!
Yes. I hope to receive this designation as I contribute much to the platform, community, clients globally.
Congrats on your achievement! Keep up the noteworthy contributions to collaborative articles. Your new Top Voices badge surely inspires others to participate and contribute to the LinkedIn community. #Motivation #Community #Badge
Yes, because I see the badge and distinction as a positive reinforcement to keep contributing to the articles. So, these distinctions are powerful motivators that encourage one to create content and consistently share knowledge.
Congratulations, and thanks for the education on it! I see yours is a Top Presentation Skills Voice. Do you know how many other top "voices" there are? as always - thank you!
Thanks for always keeping us up-to-date on LinkedIn's latest and greatest features, Sandra!
