How to Schedule and Automatically Publish LinkedIn Posts with Later

Scheduling your LinkedIn posts in advance is a great way to be consistent and save time. 

The best part? With Later's LinkedIn Scheduling feature, you can do it all for free. 

We're breaking down how to plan, optimize, and schedule your LinkedIn posts in 2023 (and beyond).

Why You Should Schedule LinkedIn Posts in 2023

LinkedIn has become a valuable tool for brands, entrepreneurs, and creators looking to drive traffic, grow online, and even build their personal brands. 

But writing LinkedIn captions on-the-fly isn’t always the most effective way to reach your goals. 

So, here are the top three reasons to use a LinkedIn scheduler in 2023: 

1. Save Time

2. Post Consistently

3. Write Stronger Captions 

#1: Save Time 

Saving time is the biggest reason for scheduling your LinkedIn posts in advance. 

It leaves more room for strategic brainstorms, content creation, and other business needs. 

Plus, you won’t be rushing to whip up a post in real-time, and can plan ahead instead.

According to LinkedIn creators, posting consistently on LinkedIn is integral to your growth on the platform. 

While it doesn’t have to be every day, scheduling your posts will help you set up a consistent posting cadence.

#3: Write Stronger Captions 

LinkedIn captions can be up to 3000 characters long, giving you a ton of space to engage with your target audience. 

However, crafting captions can be tedious — especially if you’re not in writing mode.

By planning and scheduling your LinkedIn posts in advance, you can set time aside to brainstorm and write when you’re in the creative zone.

Because you know what they say: success is where preparation and opportunity meet. 🌟 

FYI: You can plan and schedule your LinkedIn posts alongside Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest, TikTok, and Twitter too. Start scheduling your content today.
