Question 1

Does posting every day on LinkedIn matter?

Accepted Answer

No. Posting daily does not guarantee growth.

What matters is whether your posts give people a reason to stop, read, and interact.

3-4 high-quality posts per week with clear positioning and insight will outperform daily low-effort posts every time.

Question 2

What time should I post on LinkedIn?

Accepted Answer

There is no universal best time.

The right time is when your audience is active.

For most professionals, weekday mornings work well, but testing matters more than copying generic advice.

Question 3

Are hashtags useful on LinkedIn?

Accepted Answer

Short answer?

No. Hashtags are meaningless on LinkedIn.

If you were expecting another response, sorry:) that's just reality.

Question 4

Do links hurt my LinkedIn post's reach?

Accepted Answer

External links can reduce initial reach because LinkedIn prefers to keep users on the platform.

A common workaround is placing the link in the first comment or editing it into the post later.

Question 5

How long should a LinkedIn post be?

Accepted Answer

Length is not the goal. Clarity is. Short posts work when the idea is sharp. Long posts work when the value justifies the read. If it’s long and says nothing new, it will fail.

Most long posts on LinkedIn are usually personal. They're telling a personal story that will appeal to people's emotions and will make them stay longer.

Question 6

Should I edit my LinkedIn post after publishing?

Accepted Answer

Minor edits are fine, like fixing a typo.

Heavy edits can disrupt momentum because LinkedIn may reprocess the post.

If the post needs major changes, it’s usually better to repost it later.

Question 7

Do carousels still work on LinkedIn?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but only when they teach something useful. Carousels that repeat obvious ideas or generic advice are quickly ignored. Depth beats design.

Question 8

Should I reply to every comment on LinkedIn?

Accepted Answer

Yes, especially in the first hour.

Replies extend the conversation and help distribution.

More importantly, they build relationships, not just reach.

Question 9

Can personal stories outperform educational posts on LinkedIn?

Accepted Answer

Yes, when they carry a clear takeaway. Personal stories work because they create emotional connection. Without a lesson, they become self-focused and forgettable.
