Q3: Am I a selected LinkedIn Influencer if I see publish a post on my #LinkedIn page?
[+] Show Hidden Comments
[-]
Denise Bahs
A3: no. #LinkedIn influencers are selected by LinkedIn.
[-]
Brian Gilb
A3: No, just posting a #blog does not make you an expert in anything, unless you are validated by others.
[-]
Mimi Murray Meagher
A3: #LinkedIn selects Influencers, does anyone know the criteria?
[-]
Paul Gillin
I haven't heard whether you can become a LI influencer through publishing on LI. Anyone know?
[-]
Paul Krappman
A3: No. Selected LinkedIn influencers are a community hand selected by LinkedIn #LinkedInPublishing
[-]
Brian Gilb
A3: Influencers on LinkedIn either have credentials in their field or have enough of a following and interaction with others to get them that status.

Q2: Is "publish a post" on #LinkedIn different from "status update"?
[+] Show Hidden Comments
[-]
Brian Gilb
A2: status updates go to your followers and connections, the posting in #Pulse goes toward the industry followers.
[-]
Denise Bahs
A2: Yes, a post is a long form piece of content (blog post), status update is sharing or asking a question.
[-]
Brian Gilb
A2: #Pulse is a lot more public and has a lot more reach, where as status updates are just for those you are connected to.
[-]
CatherineCameronHeld
A2 very different! Post = long-form. Status=short
[-]
Mimi Murray Meagher
A2: A status update appears in your connections news feeds, publish posts become a part of your #LinkedIn profile page!
[-]
Paul Krappman
Status updates are meant to be quick hits...sharing thoughts comments or news. #LinkedInPublishing
[-]
Paul Gillin
@MeagherMimi That's an important distinction. The posts appear on your profile.
