LinkedIn Post scheduler: How to auto-schedule using RecurPost?

The only professional social networking site, LinkedIn is a platform that no marketer can miss to build an online presence. Whether you are focusing on B2B marketing or B2C marketing, putting your efforts on LinkedIn is going to reap amazing fruits for your business. In order to carry out successful LinkedIn marketing, you need to be consistent with the posts that you upload on the platform. That can be a bit time-consuming when you do it manually, but using a LinkedIn post scheduler can make it easy.

 

Here, we are going to show you how you can use RecurPost to schedule posts on LinkedIn and save loads of time for other tasks. Apart from using its LinkedIn post scheduler, you can also connect and manage other social accounts. You can also see your performance reports, audience insights, and find out the best times to post.

 

Let’s see the steps to use RecurPost as a LinkedIn post scheduler.

 

 

  • Create a RecurPost account:

 

You just need to go to recurpost.com and create your account for free. There is no need to give any credit card details to start using RecurPost. You’ll only be required to enter your email address and name to get started with your scheduling journey.

 

 

  • Add social accounts:

    After creating your account, you will be taken to the dashboard. From here, you will be able to manage your social accounts as well as content libraries. On the left-hand side of the screen, there will be options to connect your social accounts. 

 

 

 

  • Connect LinkedIn:

    Select ‘Connect LinkedIn’ and a pop-up window will appear. Under the LinkedIn section, there will be two options: Profile and Company. Select the one that you wish to connect.

 

 



You’ll be taken to the login screen, where you need to enter your LinkedIn email and password. The next screen will ask you to give certain permissions to RecurPost in order to post on your account. Don’t worry, no personal information or login credentials will be saved or used by RecurPost. Click on ‘Allow’ and your LinkedIn account will be connected.

 

 

  • Add content libraries:

    The next step is to start creating content libraries. While on the dashboard, on the right-hand upper corner, you’ll see a button saying ‘ Add new library’. 

 



While creating a library, you need to set three things:

 

  • Name of the library: Give your library a meaningful name so as to make it easier to identify it and quickly grasp the type of content that’s stored in it.
  • Color of the library: You can also add custom colors to your libraries depending on the content they store or the social platform they are made for. For instance, “Facebook posts” could be blue, and “Instagram posts” could be purple.
  • One-time use or Recurring library: In case you don’t want to post your updates recurringly i.e. in repeating cycles, you can choose to create a ‘One-time use library’. Updates in this library once posted, will expire and not used recurringly. 

 

Keep in mind that the updates you add in a one-time-use library are not recurring in nature and will expire once posted on your social accounts. Once you have set these details up, go ahead and click ‘Add Library’. 

 

 

  • Add new content:

 

 

You can choose to either add one-off posts that will go out to your account just once or you can create an update in your library for repeated use. Head over to your Dashboard and simply click on the “Click here to share something on your accounts” box. This is where you’ll be creating your one-off post.



From there, you will be able to add in all the details of your update including the message i.e. description which can either be a link or simply textual content. You can also add images, GIFs, or videos by clicking on the down arrow beside ‘Add Media’.



After adding those details, select the social accounts that you want to post on. Now, on the right, you will be able to see a preview of how your post will look like on each social platform once posted like so:



Now, in case you also want to add this update to your library as well for later use or editing, you can do so by ticking the ‘Add this update to libraries too’ box. This means that your one-off post will also be copied to your selected libraries which you can later edit as per your preference.



Once you’re done with that, it’s now time to schedule your post. You can do so by ticking the ‘Schedule Post’ button and selecting your preferred date and time of posting. That’s it! Your posts will be uploaded on LinkedIn according to the set schedules.
