How to Create a Post on LinkedIn

Tap through each step in order.

  1. Click "Start a post" on your home feed

    Click the "Start a post" box at the top of your LinkedIn home feed.

  2. Write your text, photo, document, or other content

    You can attach photos, videos, or documents (like a PDF) alongside your text.

  3. Add relevant hashtags

    Adding hashtags related to your industry or topic helps your post reach people who are interested in that subject.

  4. Set your audience, then click "Post"

    Choose your audience β€” public or connections only β€” then click the "Post" button to publish.

  5. Why it's useful

    Regularly sharing your work, achievements, or insights naturally builds your personal brand with recruiters and people in your industry, in a way a resume alone can't.

Build a career brand a resume can't show

A single resume can't fully capture your expertise and experience, but consistent posts let you naturally showcase that to industry peers and recruiters over time.

Consistency matters more than any single post

A single viral post rarely changes much on its own β€” what tends to build real visibility is showing up regularly with useful, specific content related to your field, even if each individual post is modest.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long can a LinkedIn post be?

Up to 3,000 characters β€” the feed shows only a preview, and readers need to click "see more" to view the full post.

How many hashtags should I use?

There's no fixed rule, but using around 3–5 hashtags directly related to your topic tends to work best for visibility and readability.
