LinkedIn has a pulse section that caters a user's original
articles either reviews about anything, news and other blogging items. So,
bloggers and other types of online writers can use the pulse to showcase for
their high quality columns or blog pieces. This is the place where online
writers can promote and share their products and other services that they offer
to their online audience in the form of writing pieces, photos, videos, etc.
It is already eight years have passed from the time I had joined LinkedIn that started in 2006. At
first I was reluctant to use the site to share to other users what I had
published online because I thought that LinkedIn is created only for people of
highly professionals. However, that idea I have has changed when I received the
invitation to write for LinkedIn. Of course, it surprised me and without any
doubts I accepted it.
So far there are about nine articles I
published on LinkedIn. Some of them were already published on some of
the sharing revenue sites I am also writing. I just re-wrote them with new
titles, introductions including the article body. All these published articles
on LinkedIn bear my authorship with the backlinks leading to the websites that
first published them.
Yes. LinkedIn does not pay for the articles published on
their site but it is one of the best places I know where to spread out our
writing hobby. Aside from the social networks and other bookmarking sites to
market and to share our awesome articles - LinkedIn is also open for this
purpose too. And to think that LinkedIn has more than 300 million users - who
can tell us that 10 to 20 percent of these users would be attracted to read our
write-ups?
