You've
heard it, you've considered it, and yes, it is true: you can indeed publish on
LinkedIn. Here's how:
First, look on the "Share an update...". on the right
you'll see a paperclip that allows you to attach files such as photos to your
status updates. To the left of that you should see a pen. That is your key to
the editor.
Don't see it? You wait--they
are rolling out the feature to more members but it will take a while to get it
out to everyone. Or, if you're interested, your best bet is to request
access.
If you do see the pen, as shown
below in the screen shot of my friend, Dino Dogan, founder
ofTiberr, click the
pen and let's move to the editor.
Once you arrive at the Editor, you have basic controls, are
given a "Title" field and an area to "Write your thoughts".
The bottom of the simple yet effective Editor offers the options to share on
Twitter, Publish, Save and Preview. See below.
But don't stop there. Sharing your article
once on Twitter is not enough. Once you publish, use the sharing buttons to
share on all your platforms (Twitter, Facebook Profiles and Pages, G+ Profile
and Communities, and LinkedIn Status and Page and Groups).
Be sure that you offer
an appropriate introduction for each location or community you share it to and
ask people you trust to visit, ask them for their thoughts in comments, and to
share it with their networks as well.
If you use an amplification
platform such as Triberr.com or GaggleAMP,
you can locate your author feed by clicking on your number of posts and
capturing the URL that looks like this: "www.linkedin.com/today/author/3173651-Lori-Ruff"
anything after that is irrelevant and can be discarded.
Remember, the more active you
are on LinkedIn, the more likely you will engage and attract more readers and
followers. Need specific help or general advice, please feel free to reach out
to me via free LinkedIn message.
