Get on the Wait List: Apply for LinkedIn’s Publishing Platform

Apply for Early Access to Blog on LinkedIn

Have you heard about LinkedIn’s new Publishing Platform?

LinkedIn is expanding their publishing platform beyond the regular short status update. LinkedIn is slowly opening up the ability to let LinkedIn members write longer form posts about their expertise and professional interests. These longer posts can be seen by your network and potentially the entire LinkedIn community. Think of it as getting the ability to blog straight on LinkedIn!

Suffice to say, some people are clamoring for this ability to increase their brand awareness and have their writing broadcast via LinkedIn.

Thing is, it’s not yet available to the masses. LinkedIn is rolling it out slowly.

Just this afternoon, I was going through my email and there was a marketing email from a LinkedIn power user boasting that by purchasing one of her products, she’ll throw in the link to get on LinkedIn’s Publishing Platform wait list. One would think that she held a special link that wasn’t available to everyone.

Any LinkedIn User can request early access to LinkedIn’s new Publishing Platform.

All you do is click here: https://specialedition.linkedin.com/publishing

You’ll find yourself magically whisked away to a form that looks like this:

Fill out the form and LinkedIn will determine if you should get access to their Publishing Platform earlier than others.

I can’t promise that you will be chosen but at least you can submit your name and see what happens!

So… do you want the ability to blog on LinkedIn? What will you write about? How will you leverage it?
