Before you begin posting content, it’s important to
develop a strategy. Consider who your target
audience is and what kind of content they would
like to see. Think about your goals and objectives
and how you can use LinkedIn to reach them.
● Keep your content
relevant
Your content should be relevant to your target
audience and should provide value to them. Post
content that is helpful, informative, or entertaining.
● Use visuals
Visuals, such as photos and videos, can help
make your content more engaging.

Hashtags can help you reach a wider audience and
make your posts easier to find.

Avoid links in your posts unless the link is the focus of the post. Post the link in the comments, or invite people to DM you for
more information!
Avoid writing super short posts (they don’t do as well). Try to write 50+ words in a post to add real context to your
thoughts!
