Interactions and postings on LinkedIn

To build and maintain a strong presence on LinkedIn, there are numerous strategies and tips that can help you maximize your reach and effectively engage your target audience. Here are the most important aspects you should consider.

1. The importance of posting frequency

Regular posting is crucial. The optimal posting frequency is 3 to 4 posts per week. It is important not to post more than once a day, as this can reduce reach. Stick to a fixed schedule to create trust and expectations with your audience.

2. Best time to post

The timing of your posts significantly influences the visibility of your contributions. Different formats have various optimal times:
  • Image and text posts: Mon-Fri, 08:00 - 10:30 AM
  • PDF documents: Mon-Fri, 08:00 - 11:00 AM
  • Articles: Mon-Fri, 10:00 - 12:00 AM
  • Videos: Tue-Thu, 11:00 - 01:00 PM
Interaction in the first 60 minutes after publication is particularly important.

3. Reach per format

Different content formats achieve different ranges:
  • Surveys: 1.6 - 2.1x reach
  • Document posts: 1.5x reach
  • Text-image posts: 1.2 - 1.3x reach
  • Videos: 1.2 - 1.4x reach
  • Text only: 0.5 - 0.9x reach
  • Post with external link: 0.6 - 0.7x reach
  • Articles: 0.6 - 0.8x reach
Choose the appropriate format to achieve the desired effect.

4. The role of hashtags

Hashtags are essential for the reach of your posts. The optimal number is about four hashtags, which can lead to up to 9% higher reach. Avoid using more than 20 hashtags, as this can be perceived as spam and reduce reach. Place hashtags directly in the post and not in the comments.

5. Weighting of interactions

  • LinkedIn rates interactions differently:
  • Liking: 1 point
  • Sharing with comment: 3 points
  • Clicking "More": 5 points
  • Saving: 8 points
  • Direct sharing: 10 points
  • Comment: 15 points

    Comments and shared posts are the most valuable for reach.

6. Handling links

External links in posts reduce reach. It is better to add the link afterwards or place it in a comment. You can also offer to send the link via direct message or use the "Visit Website" button on your profile.
