How to Create Your First LinkedIn Post
Learn how to write, preview, and publish your first LinkedIn post using Reepl
This walkthrough takes you from opening the content creator to publishing your first LinkedIn post. The entire process takes a few minutes.
You need a connected LinkedIn account to publish or schedule posts. Go to Settings > Connected Accounts to link your profile.
Open the content creator
Click Content Creator in the left sidebar, or navigate to /content-creator. You land on the Compose screen.
Pick a content source
Select one of the source cards:
- Write with AI -- Get AI assistance while you draft
- From Articles -- Turn a web article into a LinkedIn post
- From YouTube -- Create a post from a YouTube video
- From Uploads -- Generate a post from a PDF or document
To write manually without AI, select Write with AI and type directly in the editor.
Write your post
Use the editor to compose your content. The editor supports rich text formatting, line breaks, and Unicode characters. LinkedIn posts are limited to 3,000 characters.
Preview your post
Click the Preview tab to see how your post looks on LinkedIn. Use the Mobile, Tablet, and Desktop buttons to check the layout across screen sizes.
Publish or schedule
Choose an action at the bottom of the editor:
- Post Now -- Publish to LinkedIn immediately
- Schedule Manually -- Pick a date and time up to 90 days out
- Add to Queue -- Add to your scheduling queue
- Save as Draft -- Save without publishing
Your post appears in the corresponding section: Published Posts on the dashboard if published, the content calendar if scheduled, or drafts if saved.
