LinkedIn has evolved into more than just a platform for professional networking; it's now a hub for content sharing and engagement. You'll discover how to schedule posts on LinkedIn and explore best practices for crafting engaging LinkedIn posts. Chris Casulino, co-founder of Uptown Creation, a B2B marketing and LinkedIn lead generation company, will guide you through the process.

Scheduling Posts on LinkedIn

LinkedIn's long-awaited feature of native post scheduling within the platform became available to all users in early 2023. Chris, who recently gained access to this feature, will show you how it works.

  • Access Scheduling: Start by going to LinkedIn, where you can schedule posts both on mobile and desktop.
  • Create Your Post: Click on the "Start post" button as usual.
  • Schedule Your Post: Next to the "Post" button, you'll now see a clock icon. Click on it to choose a future date and time for your post.
  • Preview Your Post: A Chrome extension called Authored Up can be incredibly useful for structuring your LinkedIn posts. It allows you to format text, use emojis, and create bullet points, enhancing the visual appeal of your posts. Importantly, it also shows you where the "See more" button will appear when your post gets lengthy. This is a critical aspect of post engagement on LinkedIn.

Structuring Your LinkedIn Posts for Maximum Engagement

Now that you know how to schedule posts, let's delve into how to structure your content for optimal engagement.

1. Hook, Story, Call to Action (CTA)

  • Hook: The hook is the initial part of your post that people see before they click "See more." Make it intriguing and captivating to encourage clicks.
  • Story: The main body of your post should contain the substance of your message. This is where you provide valuable insights, share experiences, or deliver your message.
  • Call to Action (CTA): Conclude your post with a compelling CTA. This could be a question to prompt comments, a request for likes and shares, or a direct link to another resource.

2. Use Emojis and Formatting

Enhance the readability of your posts by using emojis as bullet points or to emphasize key points. Proper formatting can make your content more engaging and visually appealing.

3. Include Images

Posts with images generally perform better. They occupy more screen real estate, encouraging users to stay on your post longer and engage with it. Consider adding images to complement your content.

Learn from LinkedIn Influencers

Chris recommends studying the posts of LinkedIn creators who excel in generating engagement. Here are some examples:

1. Samantha McKenna

2. Nate Nasralla

3. Armand Farrokh

4. Nick Sajelski
