But maybe not. Maybe you&#8217;re a Twitter purist. Or maybe you&#8217;re only focused on SEO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is likely a mistake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Depending on who you&#8217;re targeting, LinkedIn can be an effective platform for laser-targeted <a href=\"https:\/\/prospeo.io\/blog\/how-to-export-leads-from-linkedin-sales-navigator\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">lead generation<\/a> in addition to building personal brand awareness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In fact, repurposing content to LinkedIn is a key part of our content strategy at Omniscient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are now a ton of different ways to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.getmerlin.in\/blogs\/chatgpt-app\/merlin-linkedin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">create content for LinkedIn<\/a>, including advertising, groups and communities, company pages, and organic content from your personal profile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this piece, I&#8217;ll cover 5 types of content you can create for LinkedIn as well as 10 tips for LinkedIn content creation. This will mostly cover organic content for LinkedIn, but the lessons can also apply to promoted posts and advertisements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-5-types-of-content-that-work-well-on-linkedin\"><strong>5 Types of Content That Work Well on LinkedIn<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Image sliders<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Native video<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>LinkedIn articles<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Native text posts<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Event video streams<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-image-sliders-aka-carousel-posts-nbsp\"><strong>1.

LinkedIn&#8217;s image slider feature allows you to post up to 10 images at once, with each image having its own caption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This format is especially useful for showing off product features, tutorials, or customer successes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s also a great way to repurpose content from other mediums. I see people repurpose Twitter threads all the time, for instance:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"704\" height=\"857\" data-src=\"https:\/\/beomniscient.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/image5-4.png\" alt=\"content for linkedin\" class=\"wp-image-2108 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/beomniscient.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/image5-4.png 704w, https:\/\/beomniscient.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/image5-4-246x300.png 246w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 704px) 100vw, 704px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 704px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 704\/857;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also treat this like a mini slide deck (harkens back to the SlideShare days, no?).

LinkedIn articles (LinkedIn Pulse)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>LinkedIn articles are LinkedIn&#8217;s version of blog posts.

For example, this post by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/jonnylongden\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Jonny Longden<\/a> (a bit technical in nature, about A\/A testing) might not \u201cpop\u201d without the use of the image.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It might not appeal to everyone, but those in the A\/B testing world immediately recognize this as an analysis from an experiment.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the post, Jonny asks, \u201chow would you read this outcome?\u201d and follows up by sharing that, \u201csurprise! It&#8217;s actually an A\/A test.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anyway, great way to call some attention to the idea of his content<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"636\" height=\"501\" data-src=\"https:\/\/beomniscient.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/image12-4.png\" alt=\"content for linkedin\" class=\"wp-image-2119 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/beomniscient.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/image12-4.png 636w, https:\/\/beomniscient.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/image12-4-300x236.png 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 636px) 100vw, 636px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 636px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 636\/501;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Infographics are fine, but in my opinion, overrated.

Event video streams<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Video streaming is a great way to engage with your LinkedIn followers.

Write for the skimmer<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a general copywriter skill for the web in the modern era: write for skimmers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you hook &#8217;em and let them get the gist, they might read on. But they might not. They&#8217;re busy. And have cheap dopamine induced ADHD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So you use short sentences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And write one sentence per paragraph.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can hate all you want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But that&#8217;s what works on LinkedIn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.buzzfeednews.com\/article\/ryanmac\/why-are-these-posts-taking-over-your-linkedin-feed-because\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">They call it &#8220;broetry.&#8221;<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Get used to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, how ironic is it for Buzzfeed to be writing snarky commentary about broetry. If they didn&#8217;t invent shitty clickbait, they certainly perfected it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-be-timely-and-relevant\"><strong>2. Be timely and relevant<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>LinkedIn is ephemeral. Not as much as Twitter, but &#8220;what&#8217;s happening now&#8221; content works better than evergreen stuff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead of writing about &#8220;how to do keyword research&#8221; in general, you&#8217;re better off writing a success or failure story about doing keyword research for your website at this moment in time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Or write about how you did keyword research for a recent niche website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Make it new. Flashy. Relevant to the exact moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That&#8217;s why I don&#8217;t <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kontentino.com\/blog\/linkedin-scheduling-tools\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">schedule LinkedIn content<\/a> out too far in advance on LinkedIn. I like to be agile and write for the current zeitgeist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-use-strong-headlines-opening-lines\"><strong>3. Use strong headlines \/ opening lines<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The opening line is everything. If you&#8217;re writing a LinkedIn article, that&#8217;s the headline. If you&#8217;re doing LinkedIn Live, that&#8217;s the title of the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For a text post, that&#8217;s the first line of your LinkedIn post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Headlines are the number one way to get attention on LinkedIn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thought leaders and social media marketing experts know this. Look at Liz Willts last few posts from her LinkedIn feed:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"992\" height=\"828\" data-src=\"https:\/\/beomniscient.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/image13-1.png\" alt=\"content for linkedin\" class=\"wp-image-2120 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/beomniscient.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/image13-1.png 992w, https:\/\/beomniscient.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/image13-1-300x250.png 300w, https:\/\/beomniscient.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/image13-1-768x641.png 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 992px) 100vw, 992px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 992px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 992\/828;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure your headline is specific and interesting, and that it clearly communicates the takeaway of the content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don&#8217;t be afraid to be bold, too &#8211; LinkedIn users like energy and humor in their headlines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-write-in-first-person\"><strong>4. Write in first person<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Content on LinkedIn tends to work best when it&#8217;s written in first person. This helps you build a stronger connection with your readers; LinkedIn is about relationships after all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you write in first person, your content comes alive and people are more likely to engage with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-5-hook-em-early\"><strong>5. Hook \u2018em early<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>No matter what type of content you&#8217;re writing, the key is to hook your readers in within the first few seconds. That&#8217;s why LinkedIn headlines and opening lines are so important; they need to be interesting and attention-grabbing from the very beginning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Try using stories, emotions, or humor in your introduction to draw people in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-6-keep-it-regular\"><strong>6. Keep it regular<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Consistency is key. Two benefits to posting regularly: you get to experiment and learn what works, and you benefit from the &#8220;mere exposure effect.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wiwi.europa-uni.de\/de\/lehrstuhl\/fine\/mikro\/bilder_und_pdf-dateien\/WS0910\/VLBehEconomics\/Ausarbeitungen\/MereExposure.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">mere exposure<\/a> effect&#8221; is a psychological phenomenon where people tend to like something more when they&#8217;re exposed to it multiple times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So if you post regularly using a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adobe.com\/express\/create\/banner\/linkedin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">LinkedIn banner template<\/a>, LinkedIn&#8217;s algorithm will push your content further and your followers will become more familiar with you and start to like you more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As for experimentation, it&#8217;s critical with LinkedIn. It&#8217;s almost impossible to predict the success of any given post, but over time, you can learn patterns as to which formats, topics, and stories work best. You can only do this through publication velocity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ideally, post on LinkedIn once per day. At least twice per week. You can use LinkedIn to test out new content ideas and messages.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-7-incorporate-multimedia\"><strong>7. Incorporate multimedia<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Video and images are far more likely to get attention on LinkedIn than plain text.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is especially true for LinkedIn Live, where the video format allows you to connect directly with your audience in real time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure you use high quality visuals wherever possible; LinkedIn users have high standards when it comes to multimedia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Video content specifically works super well. Pop onto LinkedIn whenever you want and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/posts\/marc-thomas-4a91ba1b_saas-marketing-predictablegrowth-ugcPost-7000448507161501696-OYEA?utm_source=share&amp;utm_medium=member_desktop\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">you\u2019ll see it all over the place:<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"681\" height=\"888\" data-src=\"https:\/\/beomniscient.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/image4-7.png\" alt=\"content for linkedin\" class=\"wp-image-2121 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/beomniscient.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/image4-7.png 681w, https:\/\/beomniscient.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/image4-7-230x300.png 230w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 681px) 100vw, 681px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 681px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 681\/888;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Secret hint: offer free templates in exchange for someone commenting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>People love free stuff.

Who knew?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-8-optimize-for-seo\"><strong>8. Optimize for SEO<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>SEO doesn\u2019t matter for most LinkedIn content. But it does matter for LinkedIn Pulse \/ LinkedIn articles.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just like you\u2019d optimize your title tags, H2s, and body content in a regular blog post, you can do the same with content published on LinkedIn.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, it depends what your goals are with your LinkedIn content strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But LinkedIn has a DR of like 100 (making that up), so you might as well squeeze some SEO traffic out of it, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-9-take-advantage-of-pulse-s-features\"><strong>9. Take advantage of Pulse\u2019s features<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Like I mentioned above, if you\u2019re writing long-form content as part of your content strategy, don\u2019t sleep on LinkedIn Pulse \/ LinkedIn articles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can repurpose stuff you\u2019ve already written and get increased distribution via their internal promotion and notifications for this type of content.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-10-promote-like-crazy\"><strong>10. Promote like crazy<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>After you post on LinkedIn, pop the link in your company Slack and ask teammates to comment and like it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ask your friends and external colleagues to do the same.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Initial traction is everything. Once you\u2019ve built up an audience, this doesn\u2019t matter as much. But when you\u2019re just starting out, it helps to have a small cabal of supporters who can help your content pick up steam.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-conclusion\"><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>LinkedIn.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>People love it, and people hate it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Me? It\u2019s part of the game. It\u2019s where much of my target audience lives, and frankly, it\u2019s easier to pick up traction there than it is with long-form content nowadays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s also an incredible platform for repurposing and testing out content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hopefully this article convinced you to start sharing content on LinkedIn. Done well, great content flourishes there and it can really fill out a marketing strategy (and also directly tie back to sales).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019re doubling down on it at Omni. Perhaps you should, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For further reading on how LinkedIn plays into our general marketing strategy, read this post on decentralized content marketing.
