Remember, the best content for each platform should align with the specific audience, platform features, and content preferences on each social media network.

The best content to post on LinkedIn

Let’s start with everyone’s favorite personal brand-building platform, LinkedIn. The professional networking site has exploded with creators in recent years — many of them building a following off helping others build their personal brands on the platform. 

Perhaps the most common advice from personal brand aficionados is to explore video, photo, and document carousel posts — and they would be right.

According to Buffer data, the best content to post on LinkedIn is video by a hair’s breadth — photos and carousels aren’t far off. Our numbers show that video content has the highest engagement rate, with photos just 0.1 percent behind. 

Posts that contain only a link got the least engagement, which makes sense. More and more, we’re seeing platforms’ (and social media users’) preference for high-quality zero-click content. The platforms want to keep their users within their app or on their site, and users are less inclined to click on a link and consume their content elsewhere. 

Of the social media platforms we analyzed, LinkedIn is the social media channel where we saw the smallest difference between the various media types. For example, video posts only ranked 0.1 percent higher than photo posts, and photo posts were only 0.4 percent higher than PDF carousels. 

My takeaway from this graph — rather than that video should be the be-all and end-all of my LinkedIn social media strategy — is to maintain a good content mix on the platform.

LinkedIn content ideas

1. Chop up any video content you have

atOptions = {

e: 1.8rem; letter-spacing: 0.3px; line-height: 1.6em; margin: 4vmin 0px 0px; padding: 0px;">When it comes to creating enough content to maintain consistency on the platform, repurposing is your best friend. If you’re hosting a webinar or speaking at professional events, be sure to get the recording — even a 30-minute session can yield several different one-minute clips for the platform.
