LinkedIn is a vast ocean of professional expertise, with a staggering 10 billion years of collective experience just waiting to be tapped into. Whether you’re facing a tricky work problem or seeking guidance on a particular topic, there’s bound to be someone on the platform who has “been there, done that.”
However, with so much knowledge at your fingertips, finding the right person can be a daunting task. But fear not, for collaborative articles are here to bridge the gap and connect you with the perfect mentor or advisor.
What are LinkedIn’s Collaborative articles?
If you’re a knowledge-hungry professional looking to expand your horizons, you’ll want to check out LinkedIn’s collaborative articles. These thought-provoking pieces are initiated by AI-powered conversation starters and fine-tuned by the platform’s editorial team. LinkedIn’s Skills Graph is used to identify member experts who can contribute their professional experience in the form of lessons, anecdotes, and advice.
The most valuable aspect of these collaborative articles is the opportunity for professionals to share real-life advice and contribute their perspectives on the work questions that we all encounter. This ensures that you receive a well-rounded, diverse range of insights and perspectives that are tailored to your needs. So whether you’re seeking advice on a thorny work problem or simply looking to broaden your knowledge base, collaborative articles are the perfect place to start.
You can react to the contributions by clicking the “insightful” reaction, and this helps your network and peers on LinkedIn these great insights which you’re following. And true, reading these articles will introduce you to new people whom you can follow and enable you to stay informed about the topics that are essential for your job and career growth.
If you’re an industry expert interested in contributing on any article, LinkedIn is looking to reward you with a new Community Top Voice badge in your area of expertise. This can be “Top Sales Voice,” “Top Social Media Voice,” etc. You will earn this Community Top Voice badge for your valuable insights which will appear on your profile and next to your contribution(s) on the article(s).
