• Use mentions, etc.Hashtags:

Hashtags are considered to be a vital part of a post on any social media platforms be it Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Quora, LinkedIn, etc. Hashtags are words which starts with a special character “#” before it. These can also be said as keywords for the post types. There is no such limit for hashtags on LinkedIn but it is advisable to put more than 3 hashtags but avoid putting a lot of them making it look cluttered. Try to use the most recent and most posted hashtags.

Give brief Information:

Twitter has a character limit of 140 characters. So people use LinkedIn to write brief texts or descriptions of a particular thing, post or incident. You can take the advantage of this feature very well and create and put a story around your post to make it more engaging. But put proper break ups where ever necessary so that someone doesn’t find it boring to read your content.

Provide Visual Delight:

80% of people judge your post by its visual portion of the post. This part gets you the most engagement. Post images should be:

• Very appealing to the public, 
• Good quality,
• Great information, 
• Self explanatory, 
• Good colour combinations,
• Ideal size.
  

  
  Mention Link to Sources:

Call to Action buttons:

Make definite use of good and appealing Call to Action buttons(CTA). CTA’s have proved to be very beneficial for brands to get instant clicks and good click through rates and also conversions.
