Your Content
sharing fascinating content
Best Practices for posting on linkedin
Use short-form posts to share and start conversations about what you're reading, ask for
advice or ideas, and to respond to industry news, trending topics and major events.
Content matters
Share quality insights and fresh
perspectives based on your
knowledge, expertise or
observations.
Share consistently
This helps build a relationship and
habit around your content.
Start or join a conversation
Engage your network by asking a
question or by sharing a point of
view. Respond to commenters
and engage with others' posts.
@Mention
Invite people to participate in your
conversations by tagging them in
your posts.
Use relevant #hashtags
Use a # to indicate what your post
is about. Hashtags are searchable
and help your content get
discovered.
Include a photo or video
Posts with images or rich media
draw people in and bring your
post to life.
Best Practices for Writing articles on linkedin
Use articles to share your insights, perspectives, and expertise.
Timely commentary
The best way to drive conversation
and attention is to write on
industry trends or share
commentary about the day's news.
Headlines matter
Ask yourself: "In the course of my
busy day, would I click on that?"
Images do, too
Articles with cover photos tend to
get more engagement than
those without.
Go long (but not too long)
The sweet spot for article length is
about 500-1,000 words.
Here are some ideas to get you started:
What will (or should your industry look like in
5, 10, or 15 years, and how will it get there?
What important trends should people in your
industry or area of expertise know?
What are some challenges you've faced or
opportunities you've seized?
What's the biggest problem your industry
needs to solve?
What concrete advice would you give
someone hoping to enter your field?
The 3 C's of great writing
CLEAR CONFIDENT CONCISE
Translate business jargon into
simple words. Such as:
Delete words that
undermine your authority.
Follow these rules to make
your writing "digestible"
Leverage -> Use
Competencies -> Skills
Optimize -> Perfect
Cognizant -> Aware
Commence -> Begin
Numerous -> Many
Sufficient -> Enough
"Sometimes"
"Possibly"
"I think"
"Usually"
"Maybe"
"It seems"
"It might"
No more than 25 words
in a sentence.
No more than 3 sentences
in a paragraph.
Avoid double descriptions
("The room was clean and tidy"
-> "The room was clean.")
By Jon Youshaei
The SecrET TO WRITE A GREAT HEADLINE
Look at recent blogs and news sites for trending topics (Quora, Medium, Reddit)
E A T
E = End result reader wants A = Address any objections T = Time period they'll get it
"My dream job" "I don't have any experience" "ASAP"

best practices for sharing videos on linkedin
Start with a bang
Hook viewers quickly with a
striking visual or a good opening
line.
Show it
Your followers want to see what
you're seeing. Show them!
The details
For a clearer picture, be sure
you're not backlit. We also
recommend filming vertically.
The right length
Keeping your videos between 30
seconds and two minutes is a
good guide.
Use a #hashtag
This helps your content get
discovered. (#OnCampus and
#YourUniversity)
Be heard
Try to film in a quiet spot. If you're
in a noise place, consider using
your headphones or an external
microphone for clear sound.
One of the easiest ways to capture attention is to record a video. When sharing videos, consider
these stand-out content types:
Share professional tips.
Share from industry events or
conferences.
Show a demo, lecture or
conversation.
Record an explainer video.
Share a "behind the scenes" or insider
view.
Engage viewers by asking a question.
Give context by adding text on
screen.
Share everyday work moments with
LinkedIn video filters.

  • 14. Best Practices for Writing articles on linkedin Use articles to share your insights, perspectives, and expertise. Timely commentary The best way to drive conversation and attention is to write on industry trends or share commentary about the day's news. Headlines matter Ask yourself: "In the course of my busy day, would I click on that?" Images do, too Articles with cover photos tend to get more engagement than those without. Go long (but not too long) The sweet spot for article length is about 500-1,000 words. Here are some ideas to get you started: What will (or should your industry look like in 5, 10, or 15 years, and how will it get there? What important trends should people in your industry or area of expertise know? What are some challenges you've faced or opportunities you've seized? What's the biggest problem your industry needs to solve? What concrete advice would you give someone hoping to enter your field?

  • 18. best practices for sharing videos on linkedin Start with a bang Hook viewers quickly with a striking visual or a good opening line. Show it Your followers want to see what you're seeing. Show them! The details For a clearer picture, be sure you're not backlit. We also recommend filming vertically. The right length Keeping your videos between 30 seconds and two minutes is a good guide. Use a #hashtag This helps your content get discovered. (#OnCampus and #YourUniversity) Be heard Try to film in a quiet spot. If you're in a noise place, consider using your headphones or an external microphone for clear sound. One of the easiest ways to capture attention is to record a video. When sharing videos, consider these stand-out content types: Share professional tips. Share from industry events or conferences. Show a demo, lecture or conversation. Record an explainer video. Share a "behind the scenes" or insider view. Engage viewers by asking a question. Give context by adding text on screen. Share everyday work moments with LinkedIn video filters.
