- That badge is not what you think it is. I got my Top Product Management Voice Badge on LinkedIn a few months back. I was quite disappointed to see what that whole badge is actually about, and also couldn't believe what basic product mistakes LinkedIn made in its design.
If you still want to invest time and effort to get the Top Voice Badge, do watch my first (!) CZcams video till the end, I'll cover:
1. What is the LinkedIn Top Voice Badge
2. How to get your LinkedIn Top Voice Badge in 2024
3. Secret 1: Exploiting a design flaw to get it faster
4. Secret 2: What the Badge really is
5. What it should REALLY be called if LinkedIn were honest
Are you still considering to try to earn that badge? Have you seen people acting funny about that badge? Please share your thoughts in the comment 👇
ps1: This is my FIRST CZcams video 🥳 If you liked it, please subscribe to give me a signal that I should keep creating 🙏
ps2: Since posting this video, the badge started being on and off on my LinkedIn profile, given what I shared in the video, which completely reinforces my claims (not worth the effort!)

EDIT: Thanks everyone for the feedback on the volume and for the kind comments on the video ❤ This is my first ever CZcams video and I'll improve for the next ones!
Besides the background music volume issue this video is a robust job like for the first time. Nice 👌
If your first is a perfect imperfection, don't change much.
Besides the training of their AI model, I've found it's an excellent tool to use when I can't think of anything to post related to my business.
Ahah nice one! But If definitely recommend to go deeper than the typical contributions on collab articles 😅
Sincerely its sooo flawed... Cos notifications keeps popping up about being an expert to contribute to articles and it's sooo time consuming not leaving out the lie of responding to 3 articles to get a badge😂.... I'M DONE. For most people its all about the ego
ego is definitely what drives engagement here - but let's face it, Linkedin is mostly about ego and self promotion
Interesting perspectives. Welcome to CZcams!
thank you!
Really interesting take and perspective.
Quality content, go ahead, don't hesitate with the number of subscribers
great Explanation with Awesome quality content 👍👍
Thanks for such eye opening perspective
Thanks for Explaining it well. Hope for some more good & Amazing contents. You got a New Subscriber buddy.💪
I’m honored, thanks!
Thank you for sharing... many people don't know the "dark" side of the badges.
Happy to hear it was helpful
Super cool vidéo man. That background music 😤
Ahah i’m so sorry about that, a lot of viewers complained 🙈 I’m really considering uploading a “no music” version of that video
Wow man, I'm kinda new to Linkedin. Meaning I've had i for years but never used it. Now, I want to use it more but I found the same flaws in those articles. I knew they were for AI training and database, probably to sell us something again later! This was so honest and insightful, man. I do feel like the shiny badge could help position me as a top thinker in my niche (since I havn't really built much on Linkedin - but I don't like the dirty trick, as tempting as it is). Thank you for this video.
glad you liked it! You are correct, it would be much smarter to invest time in writing high value posts, rather than chasing that temporary badge
Your video is really amazing because you cover both pros and cons of badge Thanks a lot
Thank you!
Thanks for the video
Hi, thank you for this content. But I have one question. Could you directly contribute to articles? I can only "Acknowledge great insights".
Can you share some stats on your account? How old is your account and how many connections do you have? It seems like LinkedIn is restricting the ability to contribute for accounts below a certain threshold
Thank you for this video! Did well for a 1st one.
Amazing I’m actively using LinkedIn since December 2023. (Had since 2019..did nada).
Well that’s very interesting how this platform like the others are obtaining information.
I love the sarcasm :)
Hi Jeremie, Thanks for the nice video. Which mic are you using here ?
thanks! I’m using the Rode VideoMic NTG
Thanks for making this video. Really helpful.
glad it helped!
Super informative video, glad I've found your channel, thank you.
Thanks for the kind words
Thanks for these Insights! Do I have to answer all the subcategories of an article?
No, you can reply to any number of subcategories you want
Hi, I didnt find the contribution option on articles. What i do for that ??
you might not meet the eligibility that Linkedin has set, however they didn’t publish what that criteria is, it could be experience, engagement level on linkedin, etc
Thank you for exposing the free AI training role for LinkedIn!
Happy you find this useful!
I am your 1st subscriber
Thank you, what an honor 🤩
Hey Jeremie! It does not look like your first video. You are doing great. Thanks for the knowledge and information.
Could you please tell me what software you use to simultaneously display your laptop screen and your face in your videos?
Additionally, how do you create the circular frame for your selfie video while you're demonstrating things on your laptop screen?
Thank you for the kind feedback!
I have 2 video files, one from the camera, and one from the screen recorder, then am using Davinci Resolve as editing software, with a "picture in picture" addon to to put my face in a circular frame
Next time please lower the background music, it was so annoying all the time. But video was good.
thank you so much for the feedback, I definitely will! It's my first youtube video, and I'll definitely lower the volume in the next video!
Linkedin contribution, add perspective option is not available in my Eid articles.
How many connections do you have on LinkedIn? How old is your account?
I tried to find articles in my field, but there was none. How can I create a conversation ?
Check out this list: www.linkedin.com/pulse/topics/browse/a
Very informative. I have been invited for machine learning but then I started adding for Machine Learning and also for software Quality Assurance. Will it create any issue in getting the top voice badge? Thanks in advance!
Shouldn’t be an issue, you can earn multiple badges and control which to display on your profile
Thank you for the information @@JeremieGuedj
@@JeremieGuedjLinkedin contribution, add perspective option is not available in my Eid articles.
you might need to have a longer period of being active on LinkeIn
Good content 👏I understand the argument of free training the model but I also don't care. This is the stuff made SO so famous. Achieving high points and medals :) The gamification always tricks people.
mine shows "read article" instead of "add your prespective " what do i do?
Here’s what linkedin is saying: “LinkedIn identifies members who are likely to be experts in a certain topic based on their work experience, skills proficiency, and prior engagement on the platform. They must also meet high trust and quality standards by adhering to LinkedIn’s User Agreement and Professional Community Policies, and their contributions must remain relevant, original, and additive.”
So it’s likely is a mix of experiences + engagement that you need to build up
How and when we contribute? In my account not show start to contribute 😕

I agree with you that it might be a waste of time, but I truly believe that most people are not going to investigate how did I get it, and just going to be impressed by it. In that sense, it's better to have it. I'm a business owner and consultant btw.
Spot on Vanessa! Indeed people will get impressed because most of them won't ever know how that badge was acquired - and as I say in my video, I think that business owners might be the only people who will tangibly benefit from this badge.
I'm curious, did you see any uplift in your business since you earned the badge?
@@JeremieGuedj I haven’t earned it yet! 😔I'm sorry I gave you the impression that I have it. But I’ve been invited to write in a lot of those articles and through your video now I can get a better understanding of what to do to improve my chances of getting top voice.
Why not use GPT to play the "Top Linkedin AI Trainer Volunteer" game? how would they know?
Based on the amount of really cheesy and generic contributions i’ve seen, I’d say that 50%? of them are made by chatGPT
Do you know where there is a list of topics?
Yes, there you go: www.linkedin.com/pulse/topics/browse/a
Hey I am unable to add my perspective theri can someone help

Good Content! Keep the music a bit low on volume.
Thank you - and definitely agree regarding the volume, already fixed in the following videos :)
Hi,
I have 3K+ connection
And i am user since 2015 but still i am able to contribute to any article, feature is not showing.
did you ever get content reported and/or removed?
@@JeremieGuedj no but I m not as much active before 10days, now I m a active user i drop posts 3/per day on groups and repost. How much time to get this feature?
it might require longer period of proven activity for the algorithm to open the possibility to contribute to articles. Have you seen any change since you posted your comment?
@@JeremieGuedj still i the contribution option is not showing for my profile. What can I do?
I agree that responses should be randomized and likes hidden when shown.
1st one to follow you
Bro how to network with recruiters or company on it to get a job effectively..
what field are you in?
@@JeremieGuedj I have done Hvac internship after diploma in mechanical engineering now in (Mep hvac) Aec construction industry working for air conditioning projects site and design. So hvac engineer.
Can it boost my profile to the top ? I'm about to go broke if i don't get a job in a month.. Inwant recruiters to discover me
so sorry to hear that :/ I don’t recommend wasting time on this badge, but rather focus your energy elsewhere
I agree
Hey Mr. Jeremie,
I hope this message finds you well. I'm currently experiencing a challenge in posting comments to Collaborative articles. Despite my attempts, I'm unable to reply or share my thoughts. Could you kindly assist me with this issue? I have some valuable insights to contribute, and your help would be greatly appreciated.
Looking forward to your guidance. Thank you in advance for your assistance!
Best regards,
Kushani.
Hi! It might be related to your account stats:
1. How many connections do you have?
2. How often to you post or comment?
3. How old is you LinkedIn account?
🤞
video quality editing everything is good keep doing good work
Thanks a lot! I really appreciate the kind word, it's giving me motivation to keep working on videos
Hey @JeremieGuedj, yeah, I started my CZcams channel back in 2019. I took a break at some point because I received a strike. Now, I've come to realize that hurdles are just a part of our journey. 💪🎥 #CZcamsJourney
I wish you the best of success in your journey to grow your channel!
Thanks for the great insight ..Free contribution to AI throws light into the entire prospective 😅
Glad to hear you got value out of it
Hi Sir , it was really nice explanation by you . Lots of love from INDIA 💐😊
Thanks a lot for the kind comment, i’m so glad it provided value
Liking your own contribution doesn’t move it up for others; it’s the same as in comments. Comment on any post that has tons of comments, yours will be displayed on top. Your like fires it up.
it actually does :)
What should I do to keep it for permanent in my profile?
well, that’s the annoying thing, there’s no way to get it permanently.
In order to always have it you need to continuously contribute to the collaborative articles, which is exactly one of the points I cover in the video in regard to why I don’t recommend wasting time on it
@@JeremieGuedj I got the badge today. If need to contribute continuously then I have a plan. The plan is I got the badge today, now next 60 days I won't contribute in any article but when it will be vanish from my profile I will start contributing and I'll get the badge again then I will stop contributing for 60 days. The process will be applied again and again.
@@JeremieGuedj it took 9 contributions in my case.
If it is important for you to keep it - I strongly recommend to not wait until the badge is taken away, there could be different criteria for earning, as opposed to keeping it
you would be better off to have a weekly reminder to add 1-2 contributions during a coffee break
also, 9 contributions is great! that not a lot :) what's your field? how many reactions did you get in avg?
@@JeremieGuedj My field is Back-end Web development. In an average I got 4 reaction in every contribution.
you should add a CTA at the end of your contribute. "Follow me for more product content"
I thought about it, but I kinda feel that at this point every single video on youtube says that, and i’m not sure people can/need to be nudged to do so and will subscribe if they want to see more of a youtuber’s content
curious to hear you take on this
Nice video, pls turn down the music its quite distracting
Thank you! Yep I’ve learned the lesson ahah, next videos are quieter
Loved the advice.
Hated that damn background music.
ahah thanks for the honest feedback Joseph! that will definitely be an improvement area for my next video :)
Your background music is annoying, By the way video is good and informative
thanks for your honest feedback! ahah yes many people complained about the music, it’s my first video and I learned the lesson for the next one!
Awesome, but kill the music bro!
Ahah yea definitely too loud - fixed in the following videos!
"Add your perspective" button is not displayed! What am I Doing?
See my reply to your other comment
I know you have used AI tool extension to get this badge, thats why you are hiding it by your video on right top corner
😂
Shame about the annoying music.
Would love to hear more about what you disliked, is it the music style? Is it too loud?
@@JeremieGuedj Look at people who present with massive audiences like MKD - Marques Brownlee he rarely uses music we care about what he has to say just like I care about what you have to say.
Don't take my word for it test it.
Try the same video with low music and with no music and ask people what video they like best.
thanks for the valuable input! I'm actively researching this topic now for my next video
Everything is fine but this Background song just made this video worst 😤
My apologies for that, it definitely is too loud, I fixed that in the following videos
Too long winded, too much fluff. Video production is good but you take waaaaaay too long to get to the point
Noted! Thanks for the honest feedback, I hope that already improved in my recent videos
Hi Jeremie, great content. I would like to know if in order to contribute i have to be active on LinkedIn Premium? Thanks and best regards!
No, Linkedin Premium is not a requirement and will not help you qualify.
Here’s what linkedin is saying: “LinkedIn identifies members who are likely to be experts in a certain topic based on their work experience, skills proficiency, and prior engagement on the platform. They must also meet high trust and quality standards by adhering to LinkedIn’s User Agreement and Professional Community Policies, and their contributions must remain relevant, original, and additive.”
So it’s likely is a mix of experiences + engagement
You are amazing sir, I am very inspired by you keep it up, and thanks a lot✨
