Why you should schedule Linkedin posts

Scheduling Linkedin posts is the easiest way to post on Linkedin consistently.

Creating your posts and scheduling them in advance helps you:

  • Save time by writing posts in bulk
  • Get into the flow state while writing in bulk
  • Never miss a post because of writer's block
  • Create better content because a time limit isn't pressuring you
  • Stay consistent because you don't have to rush to write posts daily

This keeps your Linkedin account visible, active, and updated.

This gives you the time and freedom to focus on engaging on Linkedin.

This is important because:

The more you comment on Linkedin - the more people see your Linkedin account and posts.

And, that's not all:

Commenting more and connecting with other Linkedin users leads to more opportunities and friendships.

The best method for scheduling Linkedin posts

Here's how I get the most out of scheduling posts:

  • I write draft posts and capture post ideas through the week
  • I write a week of Linkedin posts in less than 2 hours
  • I schedule my posts to publish over the next week

This leaves me free to spend my time engaging on Linkedin on weekdays.

And, this frees up my time so I can focus on running my business.
