#9: Cover Complex Topics With LinkedIn Articles
When you want to capture complex topics in words rather than in video, LinkedIn Articles offers an excellent outlet. Articles can be more than 100,000 characters long (roughly more than 15,000 words), which is the equivalent of an in-depth blog post or a thought leadership piece.
In fact, you can syndicate content from your blog in your company page's articles. Before posting, just add a note that the content was originally published on your company's website and add a link to the original post.
Whether you syndicate content or publish original content, one of the biggest perks of articles is the unique URL they generate. You can share article URLs across LinkedIn or on other social media sites, driving additional engagement on your article and traffic to your company page.
To publish an article, click the Write Article button below the Start a Post prompt on your company page. Add a title and type or paste the article text. You have the option to insert images or video content into the article, but you should definitely add a cover image. Optimize the cover image just like you would with a header image for your blog, as this visual element is key to driving clicks.
