I am a massive LinkedIn fanboy

It has been amazing to see the platform change from an online CV to the professional social media giant it is today

Yes your feed might be full of cringe posts of CEOs pretending to humble-brag but the goods outweigh the bad

Previously LinkedIn was just about job-hunting and recommendations

Now .. careers are just a small part of the things you can do as people like Justin Welsh have built entire empires on LinkedIn

One of the best ways of personal brand building on the platform was the LinkedIn Top Voice program

The Top Voice is their earlier influencer program that comes in two colors:

• Blue Badge: Invite only and given by the LinkedIn Team
• Yellow Badge: Automatically given when you contribute to collaborative articles

I was lucky enough to get both badges once I started posting on LinkedIn as you can see below:
