Are LinkedIn collaborative articles worth it? ›

Should you bother contributing to collaborative articles? If you're doing it to refine your messaging, share your expertise and add value to the LinkedIn community - while gaining a little bit of extra visibility in the process - then yes, contributing to collaborative articles is a worthwhile exercise.

LinkedIn articles are known for their vast reach and higher engagement rates. That said, writing a LinkedIn article requires more expertise and is time-consuming. A LinkedIn Post may be a better option if you're not comfortable writing at length or don't have the time to invest in a longer piece.

Once you build an audience on LinkedIn, you can start making money through sponsored posts. That's right – brands will pay you to talk about their product or service to your LinkedIn audience. I've done several sponsored posts recently, for my current audience of over 20,000.

Contributing to collaborative articles can broaden your reach, help you grow a following, and build a reputation on LinkedIn. You can also earn a Community Top Voices badge when members find you to be one of the most upvoted contributors to collaborative articles for a particular skill.

You can share, react to, and save collaborative articles like any post on your feed. If you find a contribution helpful, you can like or react to the contribution. If you find a contribution to be irrelevant, random, or not valuable to the article, you can mark it as unhelpful.
