Where is the Hero story used?

[Charley Kyd]

Hey, @negeen-dargahi,

I just checked Kent’s LinkedIn page, and I didn’t see a hero story. And Pulse is no longer a thing. So, when my Hero story is finished, do I do anything with it in LinkedIn?

I can see two possible uses OUTSIDE of LinkedIn…

One version of it could be on my website’s About page.

Another version of it could be used as a sales page, where the CTA would be to buy my stuff or contact me about a consulting gig.

Any thoughts?

Hey @charley-kyd – thank you for bringing that to our attention! LinkedIn changes its platform structure periodically, unfortunately.

Now, you will have to click on activity and then you will need to click on articles at the top… so not as easy as before where it would just show up on your profile.

In this case, we recommend adding it to the signature of your email or other social media platforms.

You’re working late, @negeen-dargahi!

I guess I don’t understand your suggestion that I add it to my signature. My email signature is:

Because I’d need to use a much-smaller font to fit my hero story into an additional line or two of my signature, I assume you have something else in mind.

With regard to Pulse, I had never heard of it before. But according to…
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LinkedIn_Pulse
…”On November 25, 2015, LinkedIn announced that the original Pulse app was to be retired on December 31, 2015, after which user feeds ceased to update.”

Hi @charley-kyd!

Once you add your Hero Story to your LinkedIn as an “article”, you would use that link and add it to the end of your emails or to send to potential clients.

Below are instructions again on how to access your already posted hero story:

Now, you will have to click on the activity and then you will need to click on articles at the top… so not as easy as before where it would just show up on your profile.

Does that answer your question?? Thanks!

Yes, @negeen-dargahi!, thanks!
