How to become a LinkedIn Creator?

Even if you're not in the list (yet 😉) you've probably heard of our TOP 200 Linkedin creators. We’ve spent a year analyzing the best creators on Linkedin worldwide and we came up with a main conclusion: the platform is becoming more democratic and we see thousands of new creators emerging every day. 

‍

If you’re reading this, I bet you’ve already had a look at your Linkedin metrics. But do you know exactly what your strengths and weaknesses are? Probably not. But we may do! 🤩And we’ve created a feature that allows any creator following up their results and improving on the platform.  

‍

The goal of this extension is actually to help young creators on LinkedIn to progress and grow their business.

‍

It doesn’t matter if you’re a small creator with less than 5K followers if you bring real value through your content. That's what motivated us to create this extension and allow any creator to analyze their results in real time! Yes, you heard it right, you can now calculate your Favikon Score 🤯 But how does it work?

‍

The Favikon Score criteria

‍

5 criteria for rating creators

‍

The content rate (/30) 🔥

The content score measures the ability of creators to generate buzz on a regular basis. This criterion takes into account 2 main factors: the buzz ratio and the flop ratio. 

‍

The engagement rate (/30) 💬

This rating is divided into 2 sections: the engagement rate (classic!) and the “discuss ratio” (which measures the creator’s ability to generate lots of comments in it’s posts)‍

‍

The Growth rate (/20) 🚀

As for the two criteria above, we’ve decided to take into account 2 different factors: the growth rate (calculates the accounts dynamism) and the raw number of followers gained in the past weeks. 

‍The activity rate (/20) ⚡️

We evaluate the ability of creators to post regularly because contingency is the key for success!

Audience rate (/5) 🎙

This is not the most important criteria because our mission is not to benefit macro creators. But still, size matters! We decided to turn the audience rating into a bonus that can go up to 5 points!

And now that you know all the metrics that make up your final score, here’s a short explanation of a question we hear a lot: how do we manage to rank any creator?  How do we define what is a good or bad performance?

All you should know about our grading scale 🤓

‍

Our rating system is created from concrete data, extracted from a huge sample of profiles. Unlike our rating system for the TOP 200 creators, we took into account an extremely varied sample of Linkedin users (not only the “hot” profiles) and extracted their data to find out the average values for each KPI. 

‍

The rating scale is built around the average values of each performance indicator (growth rate, engagement rate and so on). We’ve even defined several rating scales depending on the various influencer-tiers (mega, macro, mid, micro and nano). To put it simply, the Favikon score is based on real stats! 

‍

We might develop scores and work on rankings at Favikon, but we’re not obsessed with numbers, creators are much more than a bunch of indicators. Our mission is not to give you a list of KPIs, we want to help you improving your account and you can expect a few personalized tips while using our extension 💚
