Unlocking the Power of Collaborative Posts on LinkedIn for Small Marketing Teams
In today's digital landscape, small marketing teams are constantly looking for ways to amplify their brand's reach and engagement on social media platforms like LinkedIn. With the introduction of LinkedIn's Collaborative Posts feature, marketers now have a powerful tool to co-create content with others, potentially increasing their online presence and fostering a sense of community around their brand. This feature allows users to co-author a single post with up to five other people or Pages, giving everyone equal credit and carrying it across all their networks.
What are Collaborative Posts on LinkedIn?
Collaborative Posts on LinkedIn are a new post format that allows you to post jointly with other users or Pages. This feature is different from tagging, where a tag points at someone, and by default, only your followers see it. A Collaborative Post, on the other hand, gives everyone equal credit and carries it across all their networks. To create a Collaborative Post, you can draft your post as normal, choose 'Add collaborators', search for connections or Pages, save, and publish. Everyone you invited gets a notification and has to accept before their name appears.

Common Misconceptions about Collaborative Posts
One common misconception about Collaborative Posts is that they are the same as LinkedIn's Collaborative Articles. However, Collaborative Posts are regular feed posts that you co-author with people and Pages you choose, whereas Collaborative Articles are AI-prompted knowledge pieces that are now read-only.
