How to Schedule Posts On Your LinkedIn Company Page Using Simplified (For Free)

LinkedIn has no scheduling features for personal pages or company pages, so you’ll have to use a third-party tool (like Simplified) to schedule LinkedIn posts.

Simplified -an all-in-one content creation tool- has a free LinkedIn scheduler that can help you schedule posts on your LinkedIn company page without a hitch. In fact, thanks to the Simplified chrome extension, you can schedule LinkedIn posts lightning-fast!

This way, you’ll have more space to carefully map out your LinkedIn marketing strategy in advance, create your posts at suitable times, and schedule them to increase LinkedIn engagement.

Here’s how to schedule LinkedIn posts using Simplified:

1. Sign in to your Simplified account. On your dashboard, click on ‘Social Media.’

2. You’ll be redirected to another page. Click on ‘Schedule Posts’.

3. If you haven’t already, you’ll need to connect your LinkedIn account to the Content Calendar. Click on ‘LinkedIn’.

4. To connect your LinkedIn company page, click on ‘Company’.

5. Once you’ve done that, you’ll then get access to the calendar! On the upper right-hand side, click on ‘New Post’ to begin scheduling.

6. A box where you can create your posts will pop up. There are options for you to add media and emojis, generate hashtags, convert your post into an image, use our AI Assistant to create spectacular content, and view snippets. You can also see a preview of your post besides the box.

7. Once you’re done, click on ‘Schedule’. All that’s left is for you to select the publishing time and c’est fini!

4 Surefire Tips To Help You Increase Linkedin Engagement

How do you get people buzzing about your posts? Let’s give you a few tips to help you out.

1. Timing is everything

The right time to post will vary depending on your audience’s location and demographics. By understanding your audience’s time zone, you can schedule posts on your LinkedIn company page at a time that works for them.

Pro tip: Once you’ve found the time that works best for you, try to be consistent and post regularly. Linkedin’s algorithm promotes the business pages that post regularly.

2. Use LinkedIn Analytics

Another tip to help increase LinkedIn engagement is trying out LinkedIn Analytics. There’s a free analytics tool in the LinkedIn app that measures how effective your social media strategy is.

It provides insight to social media managers or marketers like you about your LinkedIn audience, so you can know the type of content they like to see and engage with the most.

Within LinkedIn Analytics, you can measure the following on your LinkedIn company page:

• Visitor demographics metrics such as page views and unique visitors;
• Engagement on your posts like impressions, reactions, shares, clicks, and comments;
• Follower growth metrics like total followers, organic followers, and sponsored followers.

3. Make it count

Everyone wants quality content; they want to read something that’ll capture their attention and leave them wanting more. So, that’s precisely what you should do- try different types of content at first, and see which one gets the most engagement. Once you’ve identified the content that your audience loves – keep ’em coming.

When posting content on your LinkedIn company page, you must keep the interests of your audience in mind. Minimize promotional posts, and get your followers talking by posting engaging content such as industry-specific questions & infographics.

4. Add links and media

Including links, photos and videos help to increase engagement on LinkedIn. Don’t just add links for the sake of it, but use the ones that’ll add more substance to your posts. Also, post engaging images and videos (especially from YouTube) as this will increase the share rate of your post.
