FAQs
What's the ideal LinkedIn post length?
While you can use up to 3,000 characters, posts between 1,300-1,500 characters tend to get the most engagement. Long enough to provide value, short enough to maintain attention.
Should I use hashtags on LinkedIn?
Yes, but sparingly. 3-5 relevant hashtags work better than dozens. Place them at the end of your post.
