POSTING FOR RESULTS
14
Post short text and an image. On LinkedIn, research shows that including a photo increases views 11x.
If your post reaches a higher-than-average number of people, you can lengthen the post and add a link.
LinkedIn wants to keep traffic within LinkedIn so the algorithm will give preference to posts without links.

Create and join help pods. Some call these promotional pods. Get together with other content marketers and share posts with each other in a messenger stream, and encourage each other to like, comment and reshare each others’ posts. The engagement will boost your numbers and the LinkedIn algorithm will push your post further up in the Pulse stream.
