How do I publish my first post?
The path from signup to a published LinkedIn post, in one sitting.
You can go from signup to a published LinkedIn post in one sitting. Here's the path.
Before you start: You need your LinkedIn login and, if you have one, your company website address.
If it doesn't work: If LinkedIn won't connect, see How do I connect my LinkedIn profile? If the post fails, see Why did my post fail, and how do I fix it?
Before you start: You need your LinkedIn login and, if you have one, your company website address.
- Sign up. Use Google or your email address. With email, we send you a sign-in link.
- Build your Brand Kit. Enter your website address. SocialPost reads your site and pulls your colors, logo, and how you describe what you do. No website? Choose to continue without one and add your details yourself.
- Review your Brand Kit. Check the colors and the "What you offer" summary. Fix anything that's off. Every post uses this.
- Connect LinkedIn. Connect your personal profile, your company page, or both.
- Create a post. Open Create and describe what you want to say, in a sentence or two. SocialPost drafts the post with a visual.
- Preview it. Check how it looks on LinkedIn. Edit the text or the visual if you want.
- Publish or schedule. Publish now, or pick a date and time.
