Can LinkedIn Posts Be Scheduled?

Trying to stay on top of your social media platforms can be a challenge. LinkedIn is no exception, especially when you probably prefer to be scrolling through TikTok or Instagram. It’s not just businesses choosing to create content in bulk, LinkedIn users are as well. While you can make a month’s worth of text posts and graphics in one sitting, you might forget to hit ‘publish’ on your content. If you’re looking to grow your LinkedIn and build your professional profile, consistency is key. One of the most common questions we see is users asking, “Can LinkedIn posts be scheduled?”. Good news: They can!

Should I Schedule My LinkedIn Posts?


With the help of third-party tools, you can schedule your LinkedIn posts to be published automatically. If you’re someone who likes to sit down and write batch content, scheduling can help benefit your productivity and allow you to finish off your work without worrying about publishing posts at a specific date and time.

When you choose to schedule LinkedIn posts, you’re able to maximize your productivity by saving time. You can set aside one afternoon every few weeks to working on your LinkedIn profile, instead of having to spend a little time every few days publishing posts. It also helps keep your content consistent and limits the likelihood of having a lapse in your LinkedIn content.
