Authors who are actively using LinkedIn have something to rejoice. This is because the top professional networking site has allowed the publishing articles on the platform. In addition, LinkedIn members can choose to follow the content of their favorite authors and writers.

This encourages thought leaders in the areas of business, non-profit and public sector to share valuable information on the site and gain followers.

For now, those who would like to be part of this program can submit a request to be an influencer through this link.
