Share News With Your LinkedIn Network From the Web

So you're reading an article on your favorite news site about an exciting new development in your field. It's crucial that your colleagues read and discuss this article. What if there was an easy way to share the article with your LinkedIn network?

In April, Jen and Eishay told you how to share an article with your LinkedIn network. Today I'm going to tell you another way you can use LinkedIn News Share.

For You

On sites that have implemented LinkedIn News Share, you'll see a link to share the content you are reading with your LinkedIn connections or networks. Sharing an article with your network will result in a Network Update telling your network where to read and discuss the article. Sharing it with your connections allows you to pick and choose who to send it to and provide a message describing why you think the content is noteworthy.

Sharing news with your network helps your colleagues and peers stay on the same page, sparking discussions on the topics that matter to your network.

For Content Providers

Adding a "Share on LinkedIn" link to your website or blog allows your users to share your content with their LinkedIn connections or networks. This gives your content legs: one user visits your site and can notify literally tens, hundreds, or thousands of others, driving relevant traffic back to your site.
