It's amazing to witness the evolution of this landscape over time. Content creation on LinkedIn is flourishing, and we're noticing plenty of new voices emerging, and that’s great news!!

‍

In France, there's a growing trend of young people voicing their opinions, along with profiles that are passionate about social and environmental issues, who are using LinkedIn to spread awareness. So, without any more delay, here's everything you need to know about the top 200 LinkedIn creators.👇

‍

How to spot the best LinkedIn creators?

‍

At this point, we're pretty familiar with the LinkedIn scene in France, but there are always new gems that pop up and catch our attention. But how do they make it to our TOP 200 ?  First and foremost, our radar picks up on all the top-notch profiles, and we analyze data from over 2000 French creators. Then, we build our ranking by looking at four main metrics:

‍

• Audience building : creators who can cultivate a strong community over time are the ones who leave a lasting impression and become authentic thought leaders in their respective fields. On average, creators in the TOP 200 France have over 100K followers.

‍

• Consistent growth : when a creator continuously attracts new audiences and expands their fanbase, it's a sign of their content's dynamism and their ability to stay up-to-date with the latest news and trends in their respective field.

‍

• Strong presence : In most cases, content creators who make it to the TOP 200 post at least 3 times per week, which helps keep their profile engaging and appealing. While there are exceptions, this is considered the ideal posting frequency.

‍

• Valuable content : Naturally, it's not just a matter of posting content every day. The top creators are the ones who put in the time and effort to craft valuable content that genuinely resonates with their audience. And get this: there's actually a creator in the TOP 200 who gets over 17K engagements per post!

‍

In addition to these metrics, we are quite strict when it comes to creators who use pods or suspicious followers. On the other hand, we highly value creators who diversify their content creation, expand their knowledge, and demonstrate creativity through useful newsletters or podcasts. In France, more than a quarter of the TOP 200 creators have either a newsletter or a podcast, and there are even 8 creators who have both! One of these gems is Dorith Naon, who is THE absolute rockstar when it comes to LinkedIn growth.

‍

That's all there is to it! If you're interested in the latest updates we've made to the Influence Score and want to gain a deeper understanding of it, we've created a comprehensive article that covers everything you need to know about the LinkedIn Influence Score.

🌱 Climate change remains a crucial topic

It's no surprise that ecology is still a major talking point on LinkedIn in France, and creators who share their thoughts on this subject are really killing it.

🎭 Artists and culture enthusiasts are now joining the LinkedIn game

Students are leaving their mark on LinkedIn

It's great to see students speaking up on LinkedIn, whether to discuss their entrepreneurial projects, professional ambitions, or issues related to student life.
