Ryan Roslanski, the company’s Director of Product Management, stated:
LinkedIn Influencer started in Fall of 2012 and has since generated a total of 4.2 billion endorsements from 277 million LinkedIn members, matching on average 31,000 views and 80 comments per influencer post. The ability to create and publish an article, or in lament’s terms, a blog post, has been the sole privilege of a select group of around 500 individuals, who make up the LinkedIn Influencer circle, until today.

Unleash your creative and writing skills and enhance your professional profile on LinkedIn with this new feature, introduced to all users, starting today.
