LinkedIn Top Voice Badges

I've been trying, but it definitely seems like India has figured it out somehow

Go to https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/topics/browse/a - and find the topic of the first badge you want to earn.

Now select at least 5 articles on that same topic to contribute to.
Each time you contribute keep in mind to:

Stick to the same topic

Submit 1 response to several articles the same day (I can do five or so before I hit topic fatigue and my mind goes to mush.)

Repeat daily until you have a badge

Try to respond to the first paragraph of the article (top of the page) for better visibility

Use as close to 750 characters as you can each time

Like, heart, lightbulb etc. your own contributions

Share some of your contributions to LinkedIn and ask your audience for their reactions

When you see a connection contribute, like their content, too

Look for articles that don’t have too many contributors

Is your LinkedIn a premium account and how long it took you to reach there

Not premium, I never paid for the premium account, but I used a free trial a few times. Linkedin offers it once per year or so for 30 days.

my guess is that such service, with guarantee, in a desired field ,would cost a minimum of $1000/month and the maximum could be millions, depending on the domain of choice. I am in the financial sector and I am heading towards top voice, but slowly. I see what kind of people are following me! so to influence these people, to have that power, it costs money!

Probably every 60 days as each badge is given for 60 days only. You need to stay active to 'keep' the badge, but the good point is that your orange badge can change for the blue, and that one stays permanent, or at least lasts longer than 60 days. The perks of having a Top Voice badge are that you get invited to LinkedIn HQ for the event (at least I was, I am not sure if they still do this), and become a part of their contributor team to help them shape the product. While they don't pay you anything for any contribution, the Top Voice badge does bring attention to your profile, drives profile traffic and views, and helped me to get a $150k contract client, which I am very grateful for.

Not every profile is allowed to comment. I am not sure about 750 characters, this is not true, or at least wasn't when I got my badge. First it took me roughly a month to get 1st badge, then in about 2 more months, I got 10 more badges. I do not have badges now since I am busy with the project I mentioned in my reply above, but I am working on getting some of the badges back (some as I don't need 10, I need 1 specific).
