LinkedIn recommendations on Substack

Substack will not run a third-party script, so the widget cannot go there. Your LinkedIn recommendations still can: on a hosted wall at its own address, or as a testimonial image pasted into the post, each one linked back to LinkedIn.

In three steps

  1. Bring the LinkedIn recommendations across

    A recommendation on your profile, or a post about your work. Both have their own links. Paste the words and that link into Kudobox with the source set to “LinkedIn”. Or select the recommendation on LinkedIn and press the Save to Kudobox bookmark, from your dashboard's tools: the source is chosen for you and the page's address comes with it. A spreadsheet of them uploads in one go, its columns read by their names.

  2. Read, then approve

    Each one is read for risk exactly like a testimonial written to you — a promised result, a figure, somebody's private detail — and waits in Pending until you approve it. The words themselves are never edited.

  3. Show them the way Substack can

    No scripts in a newsletter. Use a testimonial image. Every project has a hosted wall on every plan, and each card on it says “Originally posted on LinkedIn” with the link to the original.

What to do instead

  1. Neither Substack's posts nor anybody's email client will run a script — email has not run JavaScript for twenty years, and that is a good thing.
  2. Use a testimonial image: the quotation drawn as a picture, with your colour and mark, which you paste into the post like any other image.
  3. Link the hosted wall under it for readers who want to see the rest.

About LinkedIn recommendations

A LinkedIn recommendation is written to be public, which makes it one of the easiest to republish honestly.

What will not happen to them

  • The words will not be edited. Not tidied, not shortened, not improved — by you, by us, or by a model.
  • The source will not be dropped: every card says it was originally posted on LinkedIn, with the link where you gave one.
  • Nothing will be fetched from LinkedIn for you — you are the one who decides each may be republished.
  • Nothing is public until you approve it, and one the reading flagged tells you why before you decide.
