Tips to Schedule LinkedIn posts
Now that you know how to schedule posts on LinkedIn and also on TRIKL, here are a few tips you need to keep in mind while you schedule.
- Post on optimal times
While scheduling, always remember to post during the time when your audience is the most active. From Monday to Friday, posting from 10am to 12pm and from 2pm to 4pm is good.
Posts get good engagement when posted during this time. And weekends are the worst times to publish as posts get the lowest engagement mostly.
- Monitor and adjust
Don’t stick to one post at the beginning. Keep experimenting and monitor your engagement rates to find your sweet spot.
- Avoid posting and ghosting
Lastly, the most important thing to keep in mind is to engage after you post. Even if your posts are scheduled, once those get posted, engage with your audience, reply to the comments.
This step is important to please the LinkedIn algorithm. Posting and ghosting will not let you grow.
