If you want to schedule X Articles in advance — to hit a launch time, line up with a campaign, or simply write now and publish when your audience is online — you need a tool that fills that gap. This guide shows you exactly how to do it with Typefully, plus what you need before you start.

What is an X Article?

An X Article is X's long-form publishing format for Premium subscribers. Unlike a standard post or a "longer post," an Article supports a title, a cover image, headings, bold and italic text, blockquotes, lists, inline images and videos, and embedded posts — so it reads like a proper blog post living natively on X. Articles can run to roughly 15,000 words, far beyond the normal character limit.

Can you schedule X Articles natively on X?

No. As of 2026, X's Article composer only offers Publish now — there is no built-in option to schedule an Article for a future date, unlike regular posts, which can be scheduled natively on desktop. To schedule an X Article, you have to use a third-party scheduler that supports the Article format. Typefully is one of the few that does.

How to schedule an X Article with Typefully

Here's the full flow, start to finish:

1. Create a new Article draft. In Typefully, open the New draft menu, choose X (Twitter), then select Article. This opens a dedicated long-form editor that mirrors how your Article will look once published on X.
2. Add your title and cover image. Every Article needs a title — it's the first thing readers see. Add an optional cover image and use the built-in crop tool to frame it exactly how you want.
3. Write and format your content. Use headings, bold, italic, strikethrough, blockquotes, and bulleted or numbered lists. Drop in images, GIFs, and videos inline, or embed an existing X post or Article to enrich your piece.
4. Pick your time. Instead of publishing, click Schedule and choose a specific date and time — or add it to your queue to drop it into your next free posting slot automatically.
5. Adjust anytime. Your scheduled Article appears in your Queue and Calendar just like any other post. Drag it to a new slot, reschedule it, or edit the content right up until it goes live.

At the scheduled time, Typefully publishes the Article to X for you — no need to be at your desk.

What you need before you start

Before you can schedule an X Article, make sure you have:

• X Premium or Premium+ on your connected account. X Articles are a Premium feature. You can't publish or schedule one without it — this is X's requirement, not Typefully's.
• A connected X account in Typefully. If your X account isn't linked yet, Typefully will prompt you to connect it when you create the Article.
• A title and body. An Article can't be scheduled empty — you'll need at least a title and some content before the scheduling option unlocks.

Tips for writing X Articles worth scheduling

• Lead with a strong title and cover. These drive the click in-feed. Treat the title like a headline, not a filename.
• Use structure. Headings and lists make long-form scannable — X Articles support them natively, so use them.
• Embed for depth. Quote a relevant X post or Article directly inside your piece to add context and social proof.
• Batch your writing. The real payoff of scheduling is planning ahead. Write two or three Articles in one sitting and space them across the week from your queue.
• Let AI help you start. In Typefully, you can generate a full X Article draft from a prompt with AI Chat, then edit and schedule it — a fast way to get from idea to scheduled post.

Frequently asked questions

Can you schedule X Articles for free?

No. X Articles require an X Premium (or Premium+) subscription to publish, whether you post them instantly or schedule them through a tool like Typefully. The scheduling tool sits on top of your Premium account.

Does X let you schedule Articles natively?

No. X's Article editor only supports publishing immediately. Native scheduling on X is limited to regular posts, so you need a third-party scheduler to plan Articles in advance.

Can I edit a scheduled X Article before it publishes?

Yes. A scheduled Article stays fully editable in Typefully until it goes live — you can rewrite content, swap the cover image, or reschedule it to a different time.

What formatting do X Articles support?

Titles, cover images, headings, bold, italic, strikethrough, blockquotes, bulleted and numbered lists, inline images, GIFs and videos, and embedded X posts and Articles.

How long can an X Article be?

Articles can run to roughly 100,000 characters — about 15,000 words — far more than a standard post or longer post.

Start scheduling your X Articles

X gave you long-form publishing but left out the one thing serious creators need: the ability to plan ahead. With Typefully, you can write your Article, format it beautifully, and schedule it for the exact moment your audience is most active — then manage it right alongside your posts and threads in one queue.

The attacker used stolen sessions to access Typefully as affected users. Based on our investigation, we observed access to account details (such as name, email, and username) and attempts to exfiltrate that data. This did not expose the access credentials for any connected social account. Those credentials are stored encrypted on our servers and are never transmitted to clients. We found no evidence that the attacker posted, scheduled content, or otherwise took actions on behalf of any of the 153 affected users.

We promptly detected the attack while it was still active, took the affected system offline, and invalidated every login session within about an hour of discovery. The failure was clear: an internal auxiliary service was allowed to put unsanitized content in front of logged-in users. That should not have been possible, and we're fixing both the immediate issue and the conditions that allowed it.

What you need to do

No action is needed. This incident is fully contained. We logged out every user when we rotated our authentication secret, so being asked to sign in again is expected and does not mean your account was affected.

We blocked the attack while exfiltration was still in progress and found no evidence that the attacker published posts, scheduled content, or took other actions on any of the 153 affected users.

If you're one of the affected users, we're emailing you directly with specifics. If you don't hear from us, you were not in the affected group we identified. If you're unsure, contact us at support@typefully.com. Because email addresses were exposed for this group, stay alert for phishing — we will never ask for your password or API key by email.

Timeline (UTC)

• June 8, late evening — Attacker activity begins.
• June 9, 00:12 — Malicious changelog entry published.
• June 9, 00:32 — We discover the attack and open an incident.
• June 9, 00:49 — We take the affected system offline.
• June 9, 01:23 — We rotate our authentication secret; all users are logged out.
• June 9, ~01:25 — Observed attacker activity tapers off.
• June 9, shortly after — We remove the attacker's access; later attempts are blocked.

Impact

What was exposed. We identified 153 users whose sessions were replayed during the attack window. For those users, the attacker could read account details including email address and basic profile information such as name and username. Affected users are being contacted directly.

This did not expose passwords. We also found no evidence that any Typefully API key was exposed or created as part of this incident. It did not expose credentials for your connected social accounts (X, LinkedIn, and so on).

What we did not observe.

• In our logs and investigation, we found no evidence that the attacker changed any account or posted on anyone's behalf.
• We also found no evidence of access to our production database or systems beyond the content service and the session replay described above.

What we did

We took the following steps immediately:

• disabled the changelog across our website and app,
• took the affected content system offline while preserving data for the investigation,
• rotated our authentication signing secret, which invalidated every login session,
• removed the attacker's access and the artifacts they created.

We continued to see access attempts for a short period afterward, but they were blocked.

What we're doing next

• Rebuilding the changelog on a hardened, properly sanitized rendering path before we turn it back on.
• Hardening our authentication system to prevent this kind of attack, even in the event of an internal service compromise.
• Strengthening our logging so future investigations are faster.
• Strengthening signup and abuse protections.

Closing

An internal auxiliary service was allowed to put unsanitized content in front of logged-in users. That's on us. The fix is both specific — rebuild the changelog behind proper sanitization and locking down the content system — and structural: hold every service, including secondary ones, to the same security standard as our core product.

Here are 30 post ideas that work for founders, organized by what you're trying to accomplish.

Building in Public (Posts About Your Product)

Turn your product journey into content. People love watching things get built.

1. The feature announcement

Don't just announce. Instead show what it unlocks.

We just shipped dark mode. Took us 3 weeks. Here's why it took so long: [thread about the unexpected complexity]

Full example:

We just added one-click translation to our app. Sounds small, right?

But when we looked at the data, 40% of our highest-paying accounts had international customers. We almost didn't build it because only 12% of total users asked for it.

Lesson: don't just count who wants a feature. Look at who's paying for it.

Notice the structure: specific feature, surprising data point, clear takeaway. That's what makes people stop scrolling.

2. The "we almost built this wrong" story

Share a decision you reversed. Shows you're thoughtful.

Last month we were about to add [feature]. Then we talked to 10 customers. Every single one said they'd never use it. Here's what we built instead:

3. The customer request you said no to

Explaining your "no" builds trust in your "yes."

A customer asked for [feature] yesterday. We said no. Here's why:

4. The metric you're proud of

Specific numbers hit harder than vague growth claims.

47 customers churned last month. But here's what's interesting—we talked to every single one. The #1 reason: [reason]. So we're fixing it.

5. The tool stack reveal

People love seeing how companies actually run.

Here's every tool we use to run [company] with a team of [X]: [list with brief commentary on each]

Founder Story (Posts About You)

Personal posts build connection. There's a human behind the company—remind people.

6. The "why I started this" origin story

Tell it once a quarter. New followers haven't seen it.

3 years ago I was [situation]. I kept thinking "why doesn't [solution] exist?" So I built it.

7. The mistake that cost you

Vulnerability builds trust faster than perfection.

Worst hiring decision I ever made: [brief story]. What I learned: [lesson]

8. The routine that keeps you sane

Founders are curious how other founders operate.

My non-negotiable daily habits as a founder: [list]. The one I skip when things get crazy: [X]. The one I never skip: [Y].

9. The advice you ignored (and regret)

Hot take: [opinion about your industry]. Here's why:

Full example:

Unpopular opinion: most startups don't need a social media manager.

They need their founder to post 3x a week for 6 months.

A social media manager can amplify a voice. But they can't create one from scratch. The founder's perspective is what actually makes people follow a company page.

Agree or disagree?

The "agree or disagree?" at the end is deliberate. Unpopular opinions work best when you invite the debate.

Industry Commentary (Posts About Your Market)

Position yourself as someone who understands the space deeply.

11. The trend take

Comment on something happening in your industry right now.

Everyone's talking about [trend]. Here's what they're missing:

Prediction: In 2 years, [prediction]. Here's why I think so:

14. The comparison/contrast

Compare two approaches, tools, or strategies.

[Approach A] vs [Approach B] for [use case]. Here's when each makes sense:

15. The "what I learned from [company/person]"

Borrow credibility by analyzing someone respected.

[Company] does [thing] differently than everyone else. Here's what founders can learn from it:

Team & Culture (Posts About Your People)

Recruiting content that doesn't feel like recruiting content.

16. The new hire welcome

Celebrate people joining. They'll share it, extending your reach.

[Name] just joined us as [role]. Why I'm excited: [specific reason]. Welcome to the team.

17. The team win

Lessons & Frameworks (Posts That Teach)

Teach something. Position yourself as a resource.

21. The framework you use

Give people a mental model they can apply.

How I decide [common decision founders face]: [simple framework]

22. The book/podcast/article that changed how you think

Recommendations with context outperform plain lists.

This book changed how I think about [topic]: [title]. The key idea: [summary]

Sometimes you just need to get people talking.

26. The question

Simple, but ask something people actually want to answer.

Founders: what's one tool you couldn't run your company without?

27. The "unpopular opinion" prompt

Invite others to share their hot takes.

What's an unpopular opinion you have about [industry/topic]? I'll go first: [your take]

28. The poll

LinkedIn's algorithm favors polls. Use sparingly.

Which matters more for early-stage startups? [Option A] vs [Option B]

29. The "what would you do" scenario

Present a dilemma you actually faced.

Scenario: [situation]. What would you do? Here's what we did: [answer in comments]

30. The appreciation post

Thank someone who helped you. They'll engage, their network sees it.

Shoutout to [person] who [specific thing they did]. Made a real difference.

How to Use This List

Don't try to post all 30 types. Pick 3-4 categories that feel natural and rotate through them.

A simple weekly rhythm:

• Monday: Building in public (product update)
• Wednesday: Lesson or framework
• Friday: Personal story or team highlight

The hardest part isn't knowing what to post. It's doing it consistently. Batch-writing a week's worth of content when inspiration strikes, then scheduling posts in advance, makes consistency much easier.

Consistency beats volume. Pick your lanes and stick with them.

AI writing is currently breaking that contract. Feeds are filling up with automated replies from growth automation tools and agents.

But we believe AI can make us better writers. That it can make our thinking clearer, improve our writing, and help millions of people share their ideas with the world that currently aren’t.

That's the future we’re building for and below are the principles and beliefs that guide us.

Keep humans thinking

Most people don't struggle with having ideas. They struggle with communicating them clearly. That gap is what separates forgettable posts from ones people actually remember. Our focus is using AI to help you turn your thinking into stronger writing, while keeping you thinking.

Preserve the craft of writing

AI makes it easy to generate a post and hit publish without ever writing. But the craft is figuring out what you really mean and finding the words to make someone else see it too. We'll build tools that make it easier to capture your thoughts and arrange them into something worth sharing, but we'll never build tools that replace it.

Quality over quantity

The default use of AI is to produce more. We believe the opportunity is to produce something better. A great editor understands how a writer thinks, helps sharpen their arguments, and tighten sentences. That kind of partnership used to be reserved for the few. We're building AI that knows you and drafts like a great editor, not a ghostwriter that just increases your output.

Assistance over Automation

The printing press gave us Hemingway and junk mail.

The blog gave us citizen journalism and clickbait.

AI and agents are no different. They'll work with us like assistants and editors. They'll capture our ideas, help us collaborate, and manage the work around writing so that we can focus on the craft.

But they'll also be misused for reply bots and automations. That's the junk mail of our era, and we'll actively work to prevent it.

These principles and beliefs guide how we think about building the future of writing. AI will keep getting more capable. The question was never whether we'd use it, but whether we'd use it well. Our commitment is to help writers use it well. That means tools that elevate the craft of writing, not replace the writer.

If you're writing on X, understanding how this system works is essential so that your posts aren't floating in a void hoping to get noticed. Instead they're competing in a specific process, and knowing that process helps you write better content.

In part 1 of this guide, we cover all the changes and the impact of each change.

In part 2, we look at the practical advice on how to write better for the new changes.

TL;DR

• Post when your audience is active. Posts that don't get early engagement age out completely within hours.
• Write for replies and shares, not just likes. These actions require more effort and likely count for more in scoring.
• Make your topic obvious in the first line. The system needs to match your post to interested viewers.
• Avoid commonly muted keywords. Rage bait and spam patterns get filtered out for large portions of viewers.
• Serve your existing followers well. In-network content gets prioritized over out-of-network in scoring.
• Space out your best posts. The algorithm limits how many of your posts appear in someone's feed at once.
• Make each post self-contained. If it needs context from previous tweets, it's harder to share and match to new viewers.
• End with clear invitations. "What's your take?" or "Would you rather A or B?" prompts specific actions.
• Don't repost the same content repeatedly. Duplicate detection systems will catch it and limit reach.

However, for creators and companies seeking a more streamlined, affordable, and AI-powered solution, Typefully stands out as the superior alternative.

Typefully vs Ordinal

Before diving into Ordinal's core features, let's take a look at the key ways it matches up to Typefully.

• Ordinal is a social media management tool designed for teams, with emphasis on collaboration, approvals, and workflows. However, Typefully is built to help you write authentic, engaging content with a clean interface and powerful AI writing assistant specifically trained on social media content, and powerful collaboration features.
• Ordinal's pricing starts at a $95/month minimum and focuses heavily on enterprise features. Typefully offers both a free plan and a 14-day free trial, with plans starting at just $12.50/month.
• Both platforms offer scheduling and analytics, but Typefully provides a superior writing experience with its distraction-free editor, AI Chat agent, collaboration features, and focus on helping creators craft authentic content.
• While Ordinal emphasizes team collaboration features like approvals and briefs, Typefully is popular among companies, agencies, and ghostwriters for its set of collaboration tools, AI assistance, and friendly user experience.

Those are the main differences between Ordinal and Typefully. Ordinal is built for large teams with complex approval workflows, while Typefully is built around great user experience, AI native features, powerful collaboration, and authentic content creation.

What is Ordinal?

Ordinal (formerly Assembly) markets itself as a powerful end-to-end platform to draft, plan, and schedule social media content, with a focus on building "a content engine that drives revenue."

With it, you can:

• Draft, collaborate, and schedule content across multiple channels
• Use team features like approvals and content briefs
• Track warm leads who interact with your posts
• Set up auto-engagements and boost channels

This helps marketing teams at companies coordinate content across multiple accounts and manage complex approval workflows.

Ordinal's Key Features

Ordinal is packed with features aimed at enterprise marketing teams and agencies. Let's take a look at what it has to offer.

LinkedIn-First Approach

Ordinal positions itself as "the most powerful tool for LinkedIn" with features like:

• Personal and company profile tagging
• Auto-engagements (likes, comments, reposts)
• Warm leads tracking
• LinkedIn PDF carousels and document support

While these features are powerful, they come at a premium price point that puts them out of reach for most individual creators and small teams.

Content Calendar & Planning

Ordinal offers a visual content calendar with campaigns, allowing teams to plan content across multiple accounts and channels.

The platform supports scheduling to LinkedIn, X (Twitter), and Instagram, with realistic social previews so you can see how posts will appear.

Team Collaboration & Approvals

Ordinal's collaboration features include:

• Approval workflows for team members or clients
• Briefs and checklists for content creation
• Campaign overviews
• Ideas and drafts organization

These features are designed for larger organizations with formal approval processes, but can add unnecessary complexity for lean teams and solo creators.

Analytics & Lead Tracking

Ordinal provides analytics across channels, including:

• Daily content reporting
• Follower, engagement, and impression tracking
• Rich insights by post type and label

In comparison, here's Typefully's Analytics page:

It tracks:

• Impressions
• Engagement
• Followers growth
• Individual performance of each post
• Profile visits

Ordinal's Pricing

Ordinal's pricing is significantly higher than alternatives. In fact it costs $95/m minimum, and can easily go to hundreds of dollars per month.

While Ordinal offers a free trial and demo, the high price point makes it suitable primarily for well-funded companies and agencies, not individual creators or bootstrapped startups.

The Best Ordinal Alternative is Typefully

Ordinal is a comprehensive social media management platform for large teams with complex workflows and big budgets. But for creators, founders, and lean teams who want to create authentic content and grow their audience without breaking the bank, there's a better way.

Typefully is a beautiful content creation and scheduling app for X, LinkedIn, Threads, Bluesky, and Mastodon. It's designed to be pleasant to use, help you write better content, and grow your audience authentically.

How does Typefully compare to Ordinal? Here are some of Typefully's best features:

Typefully has Superior Writing Experience with AI

While Ordinal focuses on workflow management, Typefully excels at helping you write:

1. Intuitive interface: Typefully's clean, distraction-free editor makes content creation a joy
2. Real-time preview: See exactly how your content will look across different platforms
3. AI Chat agent: Typefully's AI writing assistant is specifically trained on social media content and learns your unique voice - creating authentic content that sounds like you, not a bot
4. Easy editing: Seamlessly edit and rearrange content with drag-and-drop simplicity
5. Draft sharing & comments: Easily share content for review, iterate on it with teammates and clients, and get it published quickly.

Scheduling Based on Suggested Slots

Typefully's tweet scheduling tools are both easier to use and more accessible than Ordinal's complex system. Pick slots to schedule your posts based on the best time to engage your audience.

You can schedule your posts after you've written them by hitting the schedule button. The scheduled time can either be picked manually or you can leave it to Typefully's algorithm to find the best time for you based on your engagement data.

Typefully's Pricing

The free tier allows you to write posts using Typefully's beautiful editor and even add images. The Starter plan - for only $12.50 a month - unlocks connecting multiple accounts across all platforms, unlimited scheduling, access to our AI writer, advanced analytics, and more!

Compare this to Ordinal's "few hundred dollars a month minimum" and the choice is clear for most creators and teams.

Grow Your Audience Authentically With Typefully

Ordinal is a powerful tool for enterprise marketing teams with large budgets and complex approval workflows. However, if you're a creator, founder, or lean team looking for an affordable, user-friendly tool that actually helps you write better content, Typefully is the clear choice.

Rather than managing complex workflows, Typefully helps you focus on what matters: creating authentic, engaging content that grows your audience.

Its brilliant writing experience, AI Chat agent, great scheduling tools, and affordable pricing make social media growth accessible to everyone!

If you've been frustrated by losing half-written posts when switching devices, this update is a game-changer.

But here's the thing: while X's draft sync is a welcome improvement, it still has limitations—especially if you create threads with media. That's where a dedicated tool like Typefully comes in.

How X's new draft sync works

The update is simple and automatic.

When you start writing a post in the X mobile app and save it as a draft, it will now appear in your drafts folder on the web version.

However, X's sync doesn't work perfectly for longer threads with multiple media attachments. And there's no guarantee your draft won't disappear if the app crashes or if you have connection issues.

For creators and businesses who depend on consistent posting, that's a risk.

Why you need a more reliable draft sync solution

If you're serious about growing on X or managing multiple business accounts, using X's native draft sync has a few drawbacks:

1. You can lose drafts with media

Threads with multiple images, videos, or GIFs don't always sync reliably. One connection hiccup and your carefully crafted post could vanish.

2. No collaborative features

X's drafts are personal. You can't share them with team members for feedback, comments, or approval. If you work with others, coordinating content becomes messy.

3. Limited scheduling options

X's native scheduler is basic. There's no way to see which times get the most engagement or to queue posts across multiple accounts easily.

4. No cross-platform posting

If you want to post the same content on LinkedIn, Threads, or Bluesky, you'll have to rewrite and reschedule it manually on each platform.

How Typefully improves draft syncing and scheduling

Typefully is a clean, distraction-free writing and scheduling tool for X, LinkedIn, Threads, Bluesky, and Mastodon. It's built specifically for creators and marketers who want to grow their audience without the stress of losing content.

Here's what makes it better than X's native tools:

✅ Rock-solid draft sync across devices

Write on your phone, edit on your laptop, publish from anywhere. Typefully keeps all your drafts synced reliably, even threads with multiple images and videos.

You'll never lose a draft again.

✅ Collaboration and feedback

Need a second opinion? Invite team members to review your drafts, leave comments, and approve posts before they go live.

Perfect for agencies, content teams, and anyone who values feedback before hitting publish.

✅ Smart scheduling features

Typefully makes scheduling effortless:

• Type natural language like "tue at 11pm" to schedule
• Use "Find best time" to see when your posts get the most engagement
• Queue posts in preferred time slots for consistent publishing

No more guessing when to post.

✅ Cross-posting to multiple platforms

Write once, publish everywhere. Typefully lets you post the same content (or customize it) across X, LinkedIn, Threads, and Bluesky with a single click.

Save hours every week.

✅ AI writing assistant

Stuck on what to write? Typefully's AI assistant (trained specifically on social media content) can help you brainstorm ideas, improve your drafts, and get past writer's block.

Many professionals struggle with locating their LinkedIn URL or don't realize the importance of customizing it for personal branding. This comprehensive guide will show you exactly how to find your LinkedIn profile URL, customize it for maximum impact, and leverage it effectively across your professional endeavors.

What Is a LinkedIn URL?

A LinkedIn URL is a unique web address that directs to your LinkedIn profile page. Just like any other URL (Uniform Resource Locator) on the internet, it specifies the exact location of your profile on LinkedIn's network. Your LinkedIn profile URL typically follows this format: www.linkedin.com/in/yourname.

LinkedIn allows its members to have a personalized URL for their LinkedIn public profile. This unique profile URL serves a defining role in shaping your LinkedIn experience. With this customizable web address, you can:

• Include it on your resume to give recruiters instant access to your full professional profile.
• Add it to your email signature to enhance your professional communications.
• Share it on other social media platforms to build a consistent personal brand.
• Include it on business cards and networking materials.
• Embed it on your personal website or portfolio.

By default, LinkedIn assigns you a URL that typically includes your name followed by random numbers and letters. However, you can (and should) customize this URL to create a cleaner, more professional web address that better represents your personal brand.

A personalized LinkedIn URL not only looks more professional but also makes your profile easier to find and remember. It is a good idea to leverage custom URLs on LinkedIn to build your image or personal branding. One way to do this is by incorporating brand-specific keywords in your LinkedIn profile URL.

How to Find My LinkedIn Profile URL?

Finding your LinkedIn profile URL is straightforward, and there are several methods to locate it depending on whether you're using a desktop computer or mobile device. Here are the most common ways to find your LinkedIn profile link:

Copy and Paste the URL Link of My LinkedIn Profile

On Desktop:

1. Log in to your LinkedIn account.
2. Click on your profile picture in the top right corner of the screen.
3. Select "View Profile" from the dropdown menu.
4. Look at your browser's address bar at the top of the screen.
5. The full URL displayed there is your LinkedIn profile URL.
6. Click on the address bar, then copy the entire URL (Ctrl+C on Windows or Command+C on Mac).

This is the quickest method if you're already logged into LinkedIn on a computer. The URL in your address bar is your complete LinkedIn profile link that you can share with others.

On Mobile:

Finding your LinkedIn URL on the mobile app requires a few additional steps:

1. Open the LinkedIn app on your smartphone.
2. Tap on your profile picture in the top-left corner.
3. Select "View Profile" to navigate to your profile page.
4. Tap the "More" button (three dots) in your introduction section.
5. Select "Share via" and then "Copy" to copy your LinkedIn profile URL.

The mobile method gives you access to your LinkedIn profile link while on the go, which is useful for quickly sharing your profile during networking events or meetings.

Find Your URL in Your Profile Editing Settings

Another way to locate your LinkedIn URL is through your profile settings:

1. Log in to your LinkedIn account.
2. Click on your profile picture in the top right corner.
3. Select "View Profile" from the dropdown menu.
4. On the right side of your profile page, edit the "Public profile & URL" section.
5. The URL displayed after "www.linkedin.com/in/" is your personalized LinkedIn profile link.

This method is particularly useful because it not only shows you your current URL but also allows you to change your LinkedIn profile URL and customize it in the same location.

By accessing your URL through the profile settings, you gain more control over your online professional presence. This is where you can make changes to create a more personalized and memorable LinkedIn profile URL.

Tips when customizing your LinkedIn URL

• Keep it professional: use your name or a professional variation of it.
• Avoid numbers unless necessary: if your name is common, use your surname.
• Use relevant keywords: consider incorporating your profession or industry if appropriate.
• Keep it simple and memorable: shorter URLs are easier to remember and share.
• Avoid special characters: LinkedIn only allows letters, numbers, and hyphens in custom URLs.
• Be consistent: use the same handle across all professional platforms for consistent personal branding.

Remember that LinkedIn has certain restrictions on URL customization:

• URLs must be between 5-30 characters.
• Can only contain letters, numbers, and hyphens.
• Cannot include the LinkedIn trademark or similar variations.
• You can only change your URL once every 30 days, so choose carefully.

How to Change LinkedIn Company Page URL

If you manage a company page on LinkedIn, you might also want to customize its URL for better brand recognition and easier sharing. Here's how to customize a LinkedIn company page URL:

1. Navigate to your company page on LinkedIn.
2. Make sure you have admin privileges (only page admins can change the URL).
3. Click on the "Edit page" on the sidebar on the left.
4. Look for the "LinkedIn public URL" field to edit it.

When choosing a LinkedIn company page URL, consider these tips:

• Use your exact company name if available.
• Keep it short and recognizable.
• Avoid abbreviations unless they're part of your official branding.
• Ensure consistency with your company's handles on other platforms.
• Consider how it might appear in marketing materials.

Important considerations for company page URLs:

• Company URLs can only be changed once every 30 days.
• Once a custom URL is created, the previous URL will no longer redirect to your page.
• Custom URLs are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis, so popular names might already be taken.
• If your company has a common name, you might need to add identifiers like location or industry.

A well-chosen company page URL improves your LinkedIn profile optimization and makes it easier for potential clients, partners, and job seekers to find your business on the platform.

How to Share LinkedIn Profile Short Link?

Sometimes, the standard LinkedIn URL can be lengthy, especially if you haven't customized it. For certain applications like text messages, Twitter posts, or business cards, you might want a shorter version. Here's how to create and share a shortened LinkedIn profile link:

Using URL Shortening Services

There are several URL shortening services that can create more compact links for your LinkedIn profile:

1. Copy your LinkedIn profile URL using one of the methods mentioned earlier.
2. Visit a URL shortening service like Bitly, TinyURL, or Rebrandly.
3. Paste your LinkedIn URL into the provided field.
4. Generate a shortened URL.
5. Copy the new, shorter URL for sharing.

Benefits of using shortened LinkedIn URLs:

• More visually appealing: shorter URLs look cleaner in digital communications.
• Tracking capabilities: many URL shorteners offer analytics to track clicks.
• Customization options: some services allow you to customize the shortened link.
• Easier to share verbally: shorter URLs are easier to communicate in person or over the phone.
• Space-saving: ideal for platforms with character limits like Twitter or SMS.

When sharing your shortened LinkedIn URL, you can include it in:

• Email signatures
• Digital business cards
• Social media profiles
• Text messages
• QR codes
• Physical business cards
• Resume headers or footers

For networking effectively on LinkedIn, having an easily shareable URL is essential. You can also improve your content game with LinkedIn memes and optimize your content with LinkedIn carousel posts to drive more traffic to your profile/page.

What Is the Difference Between LinkedIn Profile URL and Profile Link?

When attempting to set a custom LinkedIn URL:

Visual elements and concise messaging are crucial for brand recognition:

• Company logo: upload a square logo (recommended size: 300 x 300 pixels in JPG, JPEG, or PNG format)
• Tagline: create a compelling tagline (up to 120 characters) that clearly communicates what your company does and your unique value proposition.

Your logo will appear in search results and on your page, so ensure it's high-quality and properly represents your brand identity.

Before finalizing:

1. Review all entered information for accuracy.
2. Check the verification box to confirm you have the right to act on behalf of the company.
3. Click the "Create Page" button.

Congratulations! Your LinkedIn business page has been created. However, there's still work to be done to optimize it fully.

Only business pages can post jobs, use advertising features, and provide detailed company information like size, industry, and locations.

How many admins can a LinkedIn business page have?

How often should I post on my LinkedIn business page?

Creating and optimizing your LinkedIn business page is a strategic investment in your brand's online presence. By following the steps outlined in this guide and leveraging the power of tools like Typefully, you can build a compelling LinkedIn presence that drives meaningful results for your business.

LinkedIn's "Who viewed your profile" feature can be a powerful networking tool when used correctly. In this guide, we'll explore everything you need to know about LinkedIn profile visitors: what you can see, what you can't, and how to use this information to improve your professional presence.

Does LinkedIn Show Who Viewed Your Profile?

Yes, LinkedIn does show who viewed your profile, but with some limitations. LinkedIn tracks profile visitors, but the information you can access depends on two key factors:

1. Your account type (free or Premium)
2. The privacy settings of the person who viewed your profile

Let's break down what you can see based on these factors.

View Profile Visitors on a Free LinkedIn Account

With a free LinkedIn account, you can see:

• The total number of profile views you've received in the last 90 days
• Limited information about your most recent visitors (typically the last 5 people)
• Basic statistics about where your viewers work, their job titles, and how they found your profile

It's worth noting that the free account provides just enough information to be useful but restricts access to the complete visitor history to encourage Premium subscriptions.

View Profile Visitors on a Premium LinkedIn Account

If you upgrade to LinkedIn Premium, you'll gain significantly more insights into who's viewing your profile:

• A complete list of all profile visitors from the past 365 days (depending on your Premium plan)
• Advanced filtering options to sort viewers by company, industry, or location
• More detailed analytics about viewer trends and patterns
• Weekly alerts about notable profile visitors

Premium users can leverage these expanded insights to identify potential job opportunities, track the effectiveness of their profile optimizations, and discover new networking prospects.

What Information Can You See About Your LinkedIn Profile Viewers?

The level of detail you can see about your profile viewers largely depends on their privacy settings.

LinkedIn users can choose from three visibility options when browsing profiles:

1) Public Profile Mode - when someone views your profile in this mode, you'll see their complete information, including:

• Full name
• Profile photo
• Current job title and company
• Location and industry
• How they found your profile

2) Semi-Private Mode - in this mode, you'll see limited information such as:

• Anonymous headline (e.g., "Someone in the Marketing industry")
• Job title or industry
• Company size or educational background
• No name or profile photo

3) Private Mode - with this setting, you'll only see:

• "An anonymous LinkedIn member viewed your profile"
• No additional identifying information

It's important to remember that the more restrictive someone's privacy settings are, the less information you'll be able to see about them, regardless of whether you have a free or Premium account.

Pro Tip 1: you can view your profile visitors directly from your LinkedIn homepage. Look for the "Who's viewed your profile" widget below your profile information.

Pro Tip 2: you can access your profile views analytics dashboard directly in this link here https://www.linkedin.com/analytics/profile-views/

How Do You See Who's Viewed Your LinkedIn Profile?

Checking who's viewed your LinkedIn profile is a straightforward process that can be done on both desktop and mobile. Here's a step-by-step guide:

On Desktop:

1. Log in to your LinkedIn account.
2. Click on your profile photo in the top navigation bar to open the "Me" dropdown menu.
3. Select "View Profile"
4. Scroll down to the "Analytics" banner on your profile
5. Click on "Profile views" to see your visitor insights

On Mobile:

1. Open the LinkedIn app on your smartphone
2. Tap on your profile picture in the top-left corner
3. Select "View Profile"
4. Scroll to the "Analytics" section
5. Tap on "Profile views" to access your visitor information

The information displayed will vary based on your account type and your visitors' privacy settings, as explained above.

How to Use the Information in Your LinkedIn Profile Viewers List

LinkedIn profile views aren't random; they represent actual people who found your profile interesting enough to click on and check you out. Here's how you can leverage this information to advance your professional goals:

1) Feedback on Your Profile

Your profile viewers' list can provide valuable feedback on your profile and positioning.

If you're trying to find a better job at a specific industry and role, you can see if you're attracting the right recruiters and hiring managers by checking the companies they work at.

If you're trying to build a network among a specific group of professionals, you can see if most of your visitors are those people or not, helping you shape your profile and LinkedIn content.

A few tips to make sure your strategy is effective:

• Optimize your LinkedIn profile with relevant keywords
• Create and publish authentic content more often with tools like Typefully
• Increase your activity and engagement on the platform
• Expand your network by sending connection requests to your target

Note: keep in mind that some recruiters browse LinkedIn using private mode to maintain confidentiality, so you may not see all recruitment-related profile views.

2) Identify Potential Customers

For professionals in sales, consulting, or service-based industries, your LinkedIn profile viewers list can be a goldmine of potential leads.

When decision-makers or professionals from your target market view your profile, it might indicate interest in your offerings. These "warm" leads are often more receptive to outreach compared to cold contacts.

To capitalize on these opportunities:

• Send a personalized connection request acknowledging their visit to your profile
• Share relevant content that addresses their potential pain points
• Gradually nurture the relationship before making a direct sales pitch

3) Highlight Networking Opportunities

Your profile visitors may include industry peers, former colleagues, or alumni, all of whom represent valuable networking opportunities.

When someone from your industry or professional background checks out your profile, they might be looking to reconnect, searching for expertise in your area, or considering you for a collaboration or opportunity

Take initiative by:

• Engaging with their recent posts through comments or likes
• Sending a personalized connection request referencing shared interests or experiences
• Starting a conversation about industry trends or mutual connections

The key to maximizing these insights is being proactive rather than passive. Don't just observe who's viewing your profile; use this information to spark meaningful professional relationships.

How to Visit LinkedIn Profiles Anonymously

There may be times when you want to view someone's profile without them knowing, perhaps you're researching competitors, vetting potential hires, or simply wanting to maintain privacy while browsing.

LinkedIn allows you to browse anonymously by adjusting your privacy settings. Here's how to enable private mode:

1. Click on your profile photo at the top of your LinkedIn homepage
2. Select "Settings & Privacy" from the dropdown menu
3. Navigate to the "Visibility" section
4. Click on "Profile viewing options" under "Visibility of your profile & network"
5. Select "Private mode" to browse completely anonymously

Remember that enabling private mode comes with a trade-off:

-> When you view profiles anonymously, you also lose the ability to see who's viewed your profile. LinkedIn operates on a reciprocal basis. If you want to see who's viewing you, you need to let others see when you view them.

Pro Tip: if you need to view specific profiles discreetly without permanently changing your settings, consider temporarily switching to private mode for those browsing sessions, then reverting to your normal visibility afterward.

Alternatively, you can use an anonymous browser window without being logged in, although you'll see much less information about the profile.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why can't I see who viewed my profile on LinkedIn?

There are several possible reasons:

• The viewer browsed in private mode
• You've enabled private mode yourself (which restricts your ability to see viewers)
• You've reached the limit of visible profile views on your free account
• There's a temporary glitch with LinkedIn's functionality

Can I find out who viewed my LinkedIn profile anonymously?

No, LinkedIn does not reveal the identities of users who view your profile in private mode. This is a core privacy feature of the platform that protects user anonymity when desired.

Can I see who viewed my LinkedIn profile without a Premium account?

Yes, with a free LinkedIn account, you can see a limited list of your most recent profile visitors (typically the last 5 people), provided they weren't browsing in private mode. For more comprehensive insights, you'll need a Premium subscription.

Will someone know if I view their LinkedIn profile without logging in?

No. If you're not logged into LinkedIn when viewing someone's profile, your visit won't be tracked or displayed to them. However, viewing profiles while logged out significantly limits the information you can see, as many profiles restrict visibility to logged-in LinkedIn members.

How far back can I go to see who viewed my profile?

The timeframe for viewing profile visitors depends on your account type:

• Free accounts: you can see profile views from roughly the last 90 days, with limitations on the number of viewers shown
• Premium accounts: depending on your specific Premium plan, you can access visitor data from the past 90 to 365 days

Can LinkedIn Premium see anonymous viewers?

No, LinkedIn Premium cannot identify users who viewed your profile in private mode. Premium provides more comprehensive visitor data, but it cannot override another user's privacy settings.

Does LinkedIn tell you who viewed your profile multiple times?

Yes, if someone views your profile multiple times, each visit will be counted separately in your view statistics. However, you won't see a specific count of how many times the same person viewed your profile.

Key Takeaways

• LinkedIn shows you who viewed your profile, but the details vary based on your account type and the viewer's privacy settings.
• Free accounts can see the last 5 visitors, while Premium accounts access a more complete history (90-365 days).
• Profile viewers can choose to appear with full information, limited information, or completely anonymously.
• Enabling private mode for your own browsing means you won't be able to see who viewed your profile.
• Regularly checking your profile viewers can provide valuable insights for job searching, lead generation, and networking.

Understanding who's viewing your LinkedIn profile is just one aspect of building an effective LinkedIn presence. For the best results, combine these insights with consistent content posting, strategic networking, and regular profile optimization, using a LinkedIn content scheduling tool like Typefully.

In this comprehensive guide, we'll explore what LinkedIn impressions are, how they differ from other engagement metrics, and most importantly, how you can leverage them to grow your presence and achieve your goals.

What is an Impression on LinkedIn?

An impression on LinkedIn is a count of how many times your content is displayed on someone's screen or feed. Every time your post, article, comment, or profile appears in front of a LinkedIn user, it counts as one impression. This metric measures the total number of views your content receives, regardless of whether users engage with it or not.

Impressions are essentially the digital equivalent of eyeballs on your content. They represent potential opportunities for engagement and are the first step in the visibility journey. Without impressions, your content remains unseen, making this metric fundamental to understanding your reach on the platform.

It's important to note that impressions count each instance your content is displayed, meaning:

• If the same person sees your content multiple times (by scrolling past it twice, for example), each view counts as a separate impression.
• When your content appears in search results, these count as impressions.
• When someone shares your post, the impressions on their shared post also contribute to your total impressions.

LinkedIn impressions provide valuable insights into how widely your content is being distributed across the platform, making them a critical metric for anyone looking to build their professional brand.

Impressions vs Members Reached

While impressions and reach (or "members reached" as LinkedIn calls it) are often used interchangeably, they represent different metrics that serve different purposes in understanding your LinkedIn performance.

Impressions count the total number of times your content is displayed, including multiple views by the same person. For example, if someone scrolls past your post, continues browsing, and then returns to your post later, that counts as two impressions.

Members reached measures the unique number of LinkedIn members who have seen your content. Regardless of how many times a single person views your content, they only count once in your "members reached" metric.

This distinction is important because:

• High impressions with low members reached might indicate that the same people are seeing your content repeatedly.
• High members reached with comparable impressions suggest your content is being shown to a diverse audience, but mostly just once
• Ideally, you want both metrics to grow, as this indicates both wider distribution and repeated exposure

Understanding the relationship between these metrics can help you better target your content strategy. For instance, if you're looking to build awareness with new audiences, you might focus more on increasing your members reached. If you're looking to reinforce a message with your existing audience, impressions might be more relevant.

LinkedIn Impressions vs. LinkedIn Engagement

While impressions show you how many times your content has been viewed, engagement metrics tell you how people are interacting with your content. Engagement on LinkedIn includes:

• Reactions (likes, celebrations, support, etc.)
• Comments
• Shares
• Clicks on your content
• Profile views resulting from your content

The relationship between impressions and engagement is typically expressed as an engagement rate, which is calculated by dividing total engagements by total impressions and multiplying by 100 to get a percentage.

• A high number of impressions with low engagement might indicate that your content is being widely distributed but isn't resonating with your audience.
• Conversely, lower impressions with high engagement suggest that while your reach may be limited, those who do see your content find it valuable.

Ideally, you want to optimize for both metrics: increasing impressions to expand your reach while ensuring your content is engaging enough to prompt actions from viewers. This combination is the key to building a strong presence on LinkedIn.

Post Viewers Demographics

LinkedIn provides valuable insights into who is viewing your content through the post viewers demographics feature. This data helps you understand not only how many people are seeing your content, but also who they are, allowing you to better tailor your content strategy.

The demographics data includes:

• Job titles: What roles do your viewers hold?
• Companies: Where do they work?
• Industries: What sectors are they from?
• Locations: Where are they geographically located?
• Seniority: What level of seniority do they hold in their organizations?

This information is invaluable for determining if you're reaching your intended audience. For example, if you're targeting decision-makers but your content is primarily viewed by entry-level professionals, you might need to adjust your content strategy.

To access these insights, simply:

1. Go to your LinkedIn profile
2. Click on "Posts & Activity"
3. Select a post
4. Click on "View analytics"

Understanding your audience demographics allows you to create more targeted, relevant content that resonates with the specific professionals you want to reach.

Top Performing Posts

LinkedIn Analytics also provides insights into which of your posts are generating the most impressions. This information is crucial for refining your content strategy and understanding what resonates with your audience.

To identify your top-performing posts:

1. Navigate to your LinkedIn profile
2. Click on "Dashboard" (visible only to you)
3. Scroll down to see your post analytics
4. Review which posts have the highest impression counts

Analyzing your top-performing posts can reveal patterns about:

• Content themes: what topics generate the most interest?
• Content formats: do videos, text posts, or articles perform better?
• Posting times: when do your posts get the most visibility?
• Content length: do shorter or longer posts perform better?
• Tone and style: what writing style engages your audience?

By identifying these patterns, you can replicate successful elements in future posts to consistently increase your impressions. Remember that LinkedIn's algorithm favors content that generates quick engagement, so posts that spark conversation tend to receive higher impressions.

Impact of LinkedIn Impressions on Profile Views and Followers

LinkedIn impressions don't exist in isolation, they directly impact other important metrics like profile views and follower growth. Understanding this relationship can help you leverage impressions to build your professional brand more effectively.

How Impressions Lead to Profile Views

When your content receives impressions, a percentage of those viewers will be intrigued enough to click on your profile to learn more about you. This creates a direct pathway from content visibility to personal brand awareness.

The journey typically follows this pattern:

1. Your content appears in someone's feed (impression)
2. The content catches their interest
3. They click on your name to view your profile
4. This action might lead to a connection request or a follow

To maximize this conversion rate, make sure you optimize your LinkedIn profile:

• Include a clear, professional profile picture
• Craft content that showcases your expertise
• Share insights that make viewers curious about your background
• End posts with a subtle invitation to learn more about your work

According to LinkedIn's own data, profiles with complete information receive up to 40% more profile views. Combined with high-impression content, a complete profile significantly increases your visibility on the platform.

Correlation Between Impressions and Follower Growth

There's a strong correlation between consistent high impressions and follower growth on LinkedIn. As more people see your content, the likelihood of gaining new followers increases. This relationship works in several ways:

1. Direct following: users who regularly see your valuable content in their feed may choose to follow you to ensure they don't miss future posts.
2. Algorithm boost: LinkedIn's algorithm tends to show your content more frequently to people who have engaged with it before.
3. Second-degree visibility: when your first-degree connections engage with your content, it becomes visible to their networks, expanding your potential follower base

To leverage impressions for follower growth:

• Post consistently with a tool like Typefully (2-3 times per week is optimal for most professionals)
• Create valuable content that solves problems or answers questions relevant to your target audience
• Engage with comments to boost the visibility of your posts

Remember that follower growth is a long-term game. Consistent, valuable content that generates steady impressions will yield better results than a single viral post with no follow-up.

How to See LinkedIn Impressions

LinkedIn provides several ways to access this information, depending on whether you're looking at individual post performance or overall profile analytics.

Viewing Impressions for Individual Posts

To check the impressions for a specific LinkedIn post:

1. Go to your LinkedIn profile
2. Navigate to the "Posts" or "Activity" section
3. Find the post you want to analyze
4. Look for the "views" counter below the post, which shows a basic impression count.
5. For more detailed analytics, click on "view analytics" which appears below your post.

This view will show you:

• Total impressions
• Engagement data (reactions, comments, shares)
• Click-through rates
• Demographics of viewers

Accessing Analytics Dashboard for Overall Performance

For a broader view of your impression data across all content:

1. Click on your profile picture in the top right corner
2. Click on "Show all analytics" (only visible to you)
3. Scroll to the analytics sections below the hero section

This dashboard provides valuable insights into:

• Performance trends over time
• Your most successful content types
• Peak days and times for impressions
• Correlation between posting frequency and impressions

For company pages, the process is slightly different:

1. Navigate to your company page
2. Click on "Analytics" in the top navigation bar
3. Select "Updates" to see impression data for your company's content

Strategies to Increase Your LinkedIn Impressions

Now that you understand what LinkedIn impressions are and how to track them, let's explore strategies to increase your impressions and expand your visibility on the platform.

1) Post at optimal times: the best times to post on LinkedIn according to our analysis at Typefully are:

• Early morning (7:00 AM to 10:00 AM)
• Around lunchtime (11:30 AM to 1:30 PM)
• Early evening (4:30 PM to 7:00 PM)

2) Create native content formats: LinkedIn's algorithm favors native content that keeps users on the platform. Consider these formats:

• Text-only posts with compelling stories
• Native LinkedIn articles for in-depth topics
• Carousel posts for visual engagement
• Polls to encourage participation
• Native video uploads rather than external links

3) Use relevant hashtags strategically: incorporate 3-5 relevant hashtags to help your content appear in topic feeds. Mix popular, industry-specific, and niche hashtags for the best results.

4) Engage actively in the first hour: LinkedIn's algorithm prioritizes content that receives quick engagement. Respond to comments promptly and consider notifying close connections when you've posted something important to kick-start engagement.

5) Optimize your content for readability: format your posts for easy scanning by:

• Using line breaks between paragraphs
• Including bullet points or numbered lists
• Highlighting key points or statistics
• Starting with a compelling hook

6) Share valuable insights, not just announcements Content that teaches, inspires, or solves problems generates more impressions than self-promotional content. Aim for an 80/20 ratio of valuable insights to promotional content.

7) Consistency is key: maintain a regular posting schedule using a LinkedIn scheduler like Typefully to ensure you're consistently visible in your network's feed. Aim for 2-3 quality posts per week rather than sporadic activity.

8) Analyze and adapt your strategy: regularly review your impression data to identify trends and patterns. Double down on what works and refine what doesn't to continuously improve your performance.

Conclusion

LinkedIn impressions are a foundational metric for understanding and improving your visibility on the platform. By tracking impressions alongside other engagement metrics, you can gain valuable insights into how your content is performing and make data-driven decisions to enhance your LinkedIn strategy.

With consistent effort and strategic posting, you can leverage LinkedIn impressions to build your professional brand, establish thought leadership in your industry, and create valuable connections that advance your career or business goals.

Ready to take your LinkedIn impressions to the next level? Consider using a tool like Typefully to streamline your content creation and scheduling process, ensuring consistent visibility and engagement on the platform.

FAQs – LinkedIn Impressions

What are impressions on LinkedIn?

LinkedIn impressions are the total number of times your content is displayed on someone's screen or feed. Each time your post, article, comment, or profile appears before a LinkedIn user, it counts as one impression, regardless of whether they interact with it or not.

What's the difference between LinkedIn impressions and reach?

While impressions count the total number of views, including multiple views by the same person, reach (or "members reached" on LinkedIn) counts only unique viewers. For example, if one person sees your post three times, that counts as three impressions, but only one member reached.

What are post impressions on LinkedIn?

Post impressions specifically refer to the number of times a particular LinkedIn post appears on users' screens. This metric helps you understand how widely distributed your individual posts are across the platform.

How can I see my LinkedIn impressions?

You can view impressions for individual posts by clicking "view analytics" below any of your posts. For overall impression data, go to your profile, click on "Dashboard" (visible only to you), and review the "Post views" section for comprehensive analytics.

What is a good impression rate on LinkedIn?

A good impression rate varies depending on your follower count and industry. Generally, achieving impressions equal to 2-3 times your follower count is considered solid performance.

How can I increase my LinkedIn impressions?

To increase impressions, focus on posting at optimal times (early morning, lunchtime, and early evening), creating native content formats, using relevant hashtags, optimizing for readability, and maintaining a consistent posting schedule using tools like Typefully.

Do LinkedIn impressions impact my profile views?

Yes, there's a direct correlation between impressions and profile views. As your content receives more impressions, a percentage of those viewers will click through to your profile to learn more about you, increasing your overall visibility on the platform.

What's the relationship between LinkedIn impressions and the algorithm?

LinkedIn's algorithm favors content that receives quick engagement. Posts that generate likes, comments, and shares shortly after publishing tend to receive higher impressions as the algorithm distributes them more widely across the network.

Should I focus more on impressions or engagement?

While impressions indicate visibility, engagement (reactions, comments, shares) shows that your content resonates with your audience. Ideally, focus on both metrics by creating content that's both widely distributed and compelling enough to prompt action from viewers.

How often should I post on LinkedIn to maximize impressions?

For most professionals, posting 2-3 times per week is optimal for maximizing impressions without overwhelming your audience. Consistency is more important than frequency—regular quality posts will generally yield better results than sporadic activity. Learn more about posting frequency in our guide on how often to post on LinkedIn.

Many professionals sign up for LinkedIn Premium with high hopes of networking advantages and career opportunities, only to realize they're not fully utilizing the paid features. If you're in this position, you're not alone.

In this comprehensive guide, we'll walk you through the exact process to cancel LinkedIn Premium on any device, explain what happens after cancellation, and provide alternatives that might better suit your professional networking needs.

What is LinkedIn Premium

Before diving into cancellation instructions, let's review what LinkedIn Premium actually offers to ensure you're making an informed decision.

LinkedIn Premium is a subscription service that enhances your standard LinkedIn experience with additional features designed to boost your professional networking capabilities. Starting at $29.99 per month, it provides tools aimed at making your profile more visible and expanding your networking potential.

LinkedIn offers several Premium tiers, each targeting different professional needs:

• Sales Navigator Core ($99.99/month): optimized for sales professionals with 50 InMail messages monthly and specialized lead-finding tools.
• Recruiter Lite ($170/month): built for recruiters with 30 InMail messages and advanced candidate search filters.

Key benefits of LinkedIn Premium include:

• InMail credits: Direct messaging to people outside your network
• Premium badge: A visual indicator on your profile signaling your premium status
• Who's viewed your profile: Complete list of profile viewers (past 90 days)
• Featured applicant status: Priority placement when applying to jobs
• Salary insights: Access to detailed compensation data
• LinkedIn Learning: Access to thousands of educational courses

While these features sound valuable, many users find they don't utilize them enough to justify the monthly expense, which leads to the decision to cancel.

Consequences of Canceling LinkedIn Premium

When you cancel your LinkedIn Premium subscription, it's important to understand what happens next:

1. Return to Basic LinkedIn: your account will revert to the free version of LinkedIn, which still allows networking, job searching, and profile updates.
2. Loss of Premium Features: you'll no longer have access to:
   • InMail messaging credits
   • Advanced search filters
   • Complete "Who viewed your profile" information
   • Featured applicant status
   • LinkedIn Learning courses
   • Premium profile badge
3. Data Removal: any data exclusively tied to premium features (like saved searches with premium filters) will be removed after cancellation.
4. InMail Credit Loss: any unused InMail credits won't be transferred to your basic account. Be sure to use them before canceling.
5. Profile Integrity: your connections, endorsements, recommendations, and basic profile information remain intact after cancellation.
6. Active Until Billing Cycle End: your Premium features will remain active until the end of your current billing period, even after you've canceled.
7. No Automatic Refunds: LinkedIn typically doesn't provide partial refunds for unused portions of your subscription.

Considerations Before Canceling LinkedIn Premium

Before finalizing your decision to cancel LinkedIn Premium, consider these important factors:

1. Timing Matters: cancel at least one day before your billing cycle ends to avoid being charged for another month. Check your billing date in account settings.
2. Use Remaining InMail Credits: since these won't transfer to your free account, send any important messages before canceling.
3. Save Important Data: export or save any data that's exclusively available to Premium users, such as detailed analytics or saved searches.
4. Evaluate Your Networking Needs: consider whether the networking advantages of Premium still align with your current career goals.
5. Consider Downgrading: if cost is your primary concern, you might consider downgrading to a less expensive Premium tier rather than canceling entirely.
6. Trial Period Check: if you're still in a free trial period, make sure to cancel before it ends to avoid being charged.
7. Bookmark Job Listings: if you're using Premium for job searching, save or bookmark important listings before canceling.
8. Alternative Growth Options: Consider if there are more cost-effective ways to enhance your LinkedIn presence, such as using content scheduling tools like Typefully to maintain an active profile.

While the basic LinkedIn account offers a wealth of features, many professionals find themselves mulling over the value of upgrading to LinkedIn Premium. If you're looking to upgrade the experience you’re getting out of LinkedIn, then you’ve probably already asked yourself: is it worth paying for LinkedIn Premium? 

In this guide, we’ll go through the various features of LinkedIn Premium, explore its benefits in detail, and help you determine if it aligns with your unique professional goals.

What is LinkedIn Premium?

LinkedIn Premium is a suite of subscription-based services designed to amplify your capabilities on LinkedIn, offering exclusive tools and enhanced access beyond the standard free account.

These premium features are segmented into different plans, each catering to specific professional needs, such as job seeking, business development, sales, or recruitment. Understanding what each feature does when is crucial in answering the question “is LinkedIn Premium worth it?”.

Some of the key benefits you can access with a LinkedIn Premium subscription include:

• More InMail credits: LinkedIn Premium lets you send direct messages (known as InMails) to LinkedIn members you’re not connected to.
• "Who's Viewed Your Profile" insights: with a free LinkedIn account, you can see when other users have viewed your account, but not who they are. LinkedIn Premium unlocks a more extensive history of who’s been looking at your profile, and allows you to look back over a longer period of time.
• Advanced search filters: LinkedIn Premium allows you to refine your searches based on criteria such as years of experience, specific skills, job function, seniority level, company size, and even whether a member is "open to work." 
• Comprehensive job insights and analytics: with LinkedIn Premium, you can see how many other applicants have applied for a particular role, gain information on the top skills listed by the hiring manager, and even understand how your qualifications stack up against the profiles marked as "top applicants." This data is great to tailor your application and highlight relevant skills more effectively on your LinkedIn resume.
• Access to LinkedIn Learning: Premium subscribers gain unlimited access to a huge library of video courses, letting you continuously upskill and stay competitive in your field. 
• "Open Profile" feature: certain Premium plans include the "Open Profile" feature, which allows any LinkedIn member, even those outside your direct network, to send you messages for free. This can significantly increase your visibility and make you more accessible to potential employers, recruiters, or leads who may want to solicit your help.
• Distinctive Premium badges: Premium subscribers receive a unique badge displayed next to their name, and in search results. This visual can help you stand out, and show that you’re invested in your professional development and networking efforts.

Is LinkedIn Premium Worth It for Job Seekers?

If you’re actively searching for your next position, then you probably consider a LinkedIn Premium subscription more often than most. Short answer: the enhanced features that come with LinkedIn Premium can certainly give you a competitive edge. However, this value is contingent on your engagement and the specifics of your job search.

Let's have a closer look at the variables you should consider when answering the question “is LinkedIn Premium career worth it?”:

The Intensity and Urgency of Your Job Search

If you’re in the middle of an active and urgent job search, the benefits of LinkedIn Premium are definitely going to be more obvious.

• The ability to directly contact recruiters and hiring managers through InMail can bypass traditional application processes and put you directly on their radar (as long as you’re not spamming them!)
• The detailed "who viewed my profile" insights can reveal companies and individuals who are potentially interested in people with your background, which opens the door for more proactive outreach and to optimize your LinkedIn profile.
• Also, the “job insights” feature gives you crucial data on applicant competition and required skills, letting you tailor every application more effectively.

The Specifics of Your Target Industry and Role

The value of LinkedIn Premium can also vary depending on your industry and the type of role you’re looking for. 

In highly competitive niches or for specialized positions where getting to know the hiring manager is crucial, Premium features like advanced search filters and InMail can be particularly advantageous. If you’re targeting executive-level roles, the ability to discreetly explore opportunities and connect with executive recruiters can also be very valuable.

On the other hand, if you’re in a less competitive industry or seeking an entry-level position with high application volumes, the benefits may not be as noticeable.

The Strength and Reach of Your Existing Professional Network

While a strong existing network is always useful, LinkedIn Premium can seriously expand your reach beyond your immediate connections.

If you’re looking to break into a new industry or connect with professionals at companies you admire, InMail provides a powerful tool to get those conversations started. Even with a solid network, Premium's advanced search filters can help you identify and connect with individuals who possess specific skills or hold key positions in the organisations you’re targeting.

Your Commitment to Skill Development and Continuous Learning

Having LinkedIn Learning in many Premium plans offers tons of value if you’re looking to enhance your skill set and make yourself more attractive to potential employers. If you’re proactive in utilizing these courses to acquire relevant skills, then highlighting these skills on your profile can boost your candidacy.

Your Strategy for Proactive Engagement on the Platform

Simply subscribing to LinkedIn Premium is not a guarantee of job search success. To truly realize its value, you need to:

• Post valuable content often so people notice you
• Actively engage with your peers on the platform
• Proactively reach out to relevant connections

Remember that in all of this, the profiles that get the most value out of LinkedIn aren’t the ones that do the most profile-to-profile outreach, but those that build a personal brand through consistent, high-quality content on their profile pages.

While LinkedIn Premium Career is designed for job seekers, offering insights into job applications and recruiter activity, Premium Business is more geared toward professionals looking to grow their network and generate business leads, with features like more InMail credits and enhanced profile visibility.

Does LinkedIn Premium include LinkedIn Learning?

Yes! Most LinkedIn Premium plans include full access to LinkedIn Learning, which has thousands of courses on business, tech, and soft skills. If professional development is a priority for you, this may be one of the biggest reasons to upgrade.

The long-term success of the best LinkedIn profiles isn’t just about looking good - you also need to ensure the right people can find and engage with you. Whether you're networking, looking for your next gig, or framing yourself as a thought leader, these 10 steps will help you maximize your LinkedIn potential.

How to Optimize a LinkedIn Profile in 10 Steps

1. Perfect Your Profile Picture and Banner

First impressions matter. A high-quality, professional profile picture can significantly impact how you’re perceived. Make sure your photo is well-lit, up-to-date, and aligns with your professional or personal brand.

Additionally, you should use a LinkedIn banner that visually represents your brand and gives your audience a clear idea of what you do as a professional.

2. Craft a Powerful Headline

Your headline shouldn’t be left as a simple job title. This field is a prime opportunity to showcase your expertise and value proposition. Instead of only stating your current role and company, you should use your headline to make clear what you do, who you help, and how you can provide real value to people in your network.

3. Write a Compelling About Section

Your About section lets you get into more detail with the aspects you’ve mentioned in your headline, and should tell a story about who you are, what you do, and the things that set you apart from other professionals in your niche.

Focus on your strengths, achievements, and how you can help others. Using clear and engaging language, structure your summary to be both informative and easy to skim. At the end, make sure you insert a compelling CTA to convert interested people into website visitors, followers, and/or leads.

4. Add a Featured Section

Another part of a LinkedIn profile most people miss is the opportunity to add a Featured Section. This is the perfect place to plug a website or a landing page you want to take your profile visitors to. Some people even use it to link a "Book a call with me" page or simply a post they've published and want to highlight on their profile.

5. Optimize Your Experience Section

When listing your work experience, go beyond job titles. You'd be surprised at how many people don't put in the effort to describe what they've achieved in their past roles. This is a great opportunity to show:

• your biggest accomplishments as proof of work
• your past responsibilities using keywords people search for
• your skills that position you as an experienced worker

6. Add Media Items with Hyperlinks

A lot of people don't know this but you can add media items to each experience section and hyperlink them to any URL you want. The best use of these media items is to plug in your company's website so you have an extra place for people to click and visit it outside of LinkedIn. This works as a great first step in a sales funnel, for example.

7. Showcase Your Skills and Endorsements

A well-rounded skill set enhances your credibility. List relevant skills and seek endorsements from colleagues, clients, or the mentors who helped you hone these abilities. When organizing this section, try to prioritize skills that align with your professional goals to improve discoverability.

8. Get Strategic with Keywords

To improve visibility, use relevant keywords throughout your profile, including your headline, summary, and experience sections. These keywords should reflect industry terms and phrases that recruiters or clients might search for. You can find effective keywords either by using autocomplete suggestions in the LinkedIn search bar, or by using a third-party tool built for it.

9. Request and Give Recommendations

Endorsements and recommendations add credibility to your profile. Ask former colleagues or managers for personalized recommendations that highlight your skills and contributions. Offering to write recommendations for others in return is a good way to encourage endorsements, and is generally just good courtesy!

10. Customize Your LinkedIn URL

A customized LinkedIn URL looks cleaner and is easier to share. Edit your URL in your profile settings to include your name or a variation of it for a professional touch.

For example, ours is https://www.linkedin.com/company/typefullycom because our website is https://typefully.com/.

Bonus: Stay Active and Post Valuable Content

Consistent activity on LinkedIn helps keep your profile relevant. Share insightful posts, write articles, and engage with content from others. By providing value through well-developed content, you can start to position yourself as a thought leader in your field.

This unique format allows you to share multiple images or slides in a single post, making it easier to tell a story, share insights, or present step-by-step guides.

In this guide, we’ll break down everything you need to know about LinkedIn carousel posts, including why they’re effective, how to post a carousel on LinkedIn, and best practices for optimizing their impact on your audience.

What Is a LinkedIn Carousel Post?

A LinkedIn carousel post is a type of interactive content that allows users to swipe through multiple images or slides in a single post. Unlike LinkedIn’s standard image posts, carousels provide a more structured way to present information, which makes them ideal for tutorials, case studies, product showcases, or breaking up infographics.

LinkedIn carousels can be created as organic posts or as LinkedIn carousel ads, depending on your marketing goals. While organic carousel posts use PDFs to display swipeable slides, carousel ads allow multiple images to be uploaded individually with unique headlines, descriptions, and links.

Why Use LinkedIn Carousel Posts?

LinkedIn carousel posts offer several advantages that can help boost engagement and improve content visibility:

1) Increased engagement – the interactive format encourages users to swipe through multiple slides, keeping them engaged for longer, which further boosts the attention the algorithm gives that particular post.

2) Better storytelling – carousels allow you to break complex ideas into digestible slides, making information easier to understand and follow slide by slide.

3) Higher shareability – the fact that LinkedIn carousels allow for packing a lot of value in a single post, the content is more likely to be shared, increasing its reach.

Want to start leveraging LinkedIn carousel posts for your brand? Our LinkedIn scheduler tool makes it easy to format stunning carousel posts and schedule them at the best posting times for LinkedIn.

How to Post a Carousel on LinkedIn

Follow these steps to create a LinkedIn carousel post that captures attention and drives engagement.

1. Plan Your Content

Before designing your slides, it’s important to outline the key points you want to communicate. The success of your LinkedIn carousel post depends on how well you structure your content, so take the time to plan each slide carefully.

I usually write the content for a LinkedIn carousel as if it were a long-form post, and pay attention to:

• My goal: whether that's educating/sharing insights/promoting a product.
• The hook of the first slide: a bold statement, a surprising statistic, or a compelling question to encourage viewers to stope and swipe.
• The visual storytelling: thinking about the logical flow of each slide, while making sure there's always something that makes people click on the next slide.
• The final slide: it should include a clear CTA, whether that’s visiting a website, signing up for a lead magnet, or engaging further with the post.

To ensure clarity and maintain engagement, keep the text content to a minimum, and let your visuals do most of the talking. Too much text can overwhelm viewers, making them less likely to engage with your carousel.

2. Choose the Right LinkedIn Carousel Size & Specs

To ensure your carousel looks great on all devices, follow these LinkedIn carousel specs:

• File format: PDF (for organic carousels), or JPG/PNG (for LinkedIn carousel ad examples)
• Slide dimensions: 1080 x 1080 pixels (square) or 1080 x 1350 pixels (portrait)
• File size: Max 100MB (PDF) or 5MB per image (JPG/PNG)
• Slide limit: up to 10 slides for ads, unlimited for organic posts (provided you stay within file size limits).

3. Design Your Slides

Creating an eye-catching LinkedIn carousel requires a balance between aesthetics and information delivery. If you don't have a designer for these, there are great tools out there create them.

Here are some guidelines:

• Use a consistent theme to maintain brand consistency.
• Keep text minimal with one message per slide.
• Avoid pixelated or low-resolution images.
• Don't overcrowd your slides.
• Use contrasting colors to make the text stand out.
• Use icons, bullet points, and graphical elements like illustrations.
• Each slide should naturally lead to the next.
• Use transition elements like arrows or numbered steps to guide viewers through the content.
• Include a strong CTA that matches your goal.

Using a LinkedIn carousel template can simplify the design process and help ensure that your slides are structured effectively. Consider using tools like Canva or the image generation of ChatGPTT to come up with the designs, and our very own LinkedIn post generator to create consistent text to go with it.

4. Upload Your Carousel to LinkedIn

To post a carousel on LinkedIn, follow these steps:

1. Go to your LinkedIn homepage and click “Start a post.”
2. Select the “Document” option (for organic posts) and upload your PDF.
3. Add a compelling caption with relevant hashtags.
4. Click “Post” to share your carousel with your audience.

For LinkedIn carousel ads, use LinkedIn’s Campaign Manager to upload images and set targeting options.

Currently, LinkedIn carousels only support images and PDFs. However, you can still publish LinkedIn videos in individual posts.

Can I schedule LinkedIn carousel posts?

Yes, many social media scheduling tools support LinkedIn carousel posts. Be sure to check whether your preferred LinkedIn scheduler allows PDF uploads for organic carousels.

Are LinkedIn carousel posts effective for higher reach?

Yes! Carousels tend to receive higher reach because of the engagement they generate and the time people spend on the post swiping. However, it’s important to make sure your LinkedIn carousel is made to a high standard, with an engaging hook, high-quality visuals, and concise text.

As there is a range of alternative tools for LinkedIn, this article takes a closer look at what Taplio does and the seven best Taplio alternatives you may want to consider (including Typefully for LinkedIn).

What is Taplio?

Taplio is a LinkedIn automation tool with a variety of AI features designed to highlight viral content in your industry niche, create new posts, and analyze how your organic LinkedIn marketing is performing.

Aside from containing content ideation and analysis tools, Taplio also has a variety of features for connecting to LinkedIn users who fit your target audience profile, like “Engagement lists” that contain tailored suggestions of contacts who may be useful for developing your network.

Some of the core features that Taplio offers include:

• AI-generated content adapted to LinkedIn’s formatting conventions.
• A post scheduling calendar that allows you to plan your organic campaigns in advance.
• An analytics dashboard that highlights the kinds of content that are getting the most interaction.
• Automatically-drafted engagement lists that suggest contacts likely to engage with your brand, helping you to develop your network.

Taplio Pricing

Taplio is amongst the most expensive LinkedIn tools out there, in part thanks to the hype around it and the automation tools it offers, like AI commenting (which you should not do).

It offers 3 plans:

• Starter ($39/mo): for basic writing and scheduling LinkedIn content.
• Standard ($65/mo): for generating LinkedIn posts with AI and lead generation.
• Pro ($199/mo): for higher limits on the AI generation feature and AI comments.

Top 7 Best Alternatives to Taplio for LinkedIn

Though Taplio has been able to build a solid user base in a relatively short time, it’s not without its shortcomings. Some first-time users have reported frustration with the tool’s high price point (starting at $39/month), the limited content design options, and the fact that you need additional tools, like LinkedIn Sales Navigator, to unlock its full potential.

On top of the above, Taplio was acquired by Lemlist, a company whose founder has been banned multiple times from LinkedIn for infringing its Terms and Conditions.

If you’re looking for effective and safe Taplio alternatives, here are our top seven alternatives to Taplio for LinkedIn content creation and scheduling.

Socialsonic is designed for LinkedIn users who want an all-in-one solution to automate and enhance their content strategy.

Though it’s feature-rich and clearly aligned towards growth, some users may find its automation-heavy approach lacking in personalization opportunities.

AuthoredUp: Formatting and Content Organization

AuthoredUp is a Taplio alternative focused on improving the quality and presentation of posts. Unlike other tools that prioritize automation, AuthoredUp is best suited for users who want a polished and well-structured content strategy. While it offers excellent formatting capabilities, it lacks AI-powered content ideation features, making it less of a full-scale LinkedIn marketing tool.

Supergrow: AI-Driven LinkedIn Growth

Supergrow provides AI-powered content creation and automation tools to help users grow their LinkedIn presence.

While it offers a decent mix of scheduling, engagement, and post-generation features, some users might find its AI-generated content less refined than other options, requiring more heavy lifting when it comes to the editing stage to achieve a more authentic voice.

Inlytics/Aware: Deep LinkedIn Analytics

Made for businesses that prioritize data-driven insights, Inlytics (now Aware) offers an advanced analytics dashboard for tracking LinkedIn performance.

It’s an excellent choice for users who want granular insights, but it lacks built-in content creation tools, making it best suited as a supplementary tool rather than an all-in-one Taplio alternative.

MagicPost: Simple AI Content Creation

MagicPost is a more lightweight Taplio alternative designed for users looking for a quick and easy way to generate content. While its AI capabilities streamline the process, it may not offer enough depth for those seeking a more strategic LinkedIn growth plan.

AuthoredUp has established itself as a Chrome extension dedicated to enhancing the LinkedIn posting experience. While it offers specialized features for LinkedIn content creators, many users find themselves searching for AuthoredUp alternatives that provide more comprehensive social media management capabilities. This is where Typefully emerges as a compelling option.

In this review, we'll go deep into AuthoredUp's core features, and explain why Typefully is a great AuthoredUp alternative to grow on LinkedIn.

AuthoredUp Overview and Typefully

AuthoredUp positions itself as a LinkedIn-exclusive content creation tool through its Chrome extension. Typefully, in contrast, presents itself as a clean, AI-powered writing and scheduling platform designed to help you grow authentically across multiple platforms including LinkedIn, 𝕏 (formerly Twitter), Threads, Bluesky, and others.

• AuthoredUp has a Chrome extension-based approach while Typefully provides a dedicated, distraction-free environment purpose-built for content creation and scheduling across multiple platforms, including robust LinkedIn support.
• Typefully supports adding LinkedIn comments when you schedule a LinkedIn post, a must-have feature AuthoredUp doesn't offer.
• As AuthoredUp is essentially a Chrome-extension, it doesn't have a good scheduling experience because it uses LinkedIn's native UI. On the other hand, Typefully's scheduling features are very user-friendly and simple to use.
• On pricing, AuthoredUp doesn't offer a free plan and charges $19.95/month for its individual plan. Typefully, on the other hand, offers a free plan and paid options starting at $12.50/month with a 14-day free trial.

These fundamental differences highlight why many users are exploring alternatives to AuthoredUp. Both platforms serve LinkedIn content creation needs, but they approach it from different angles and with different scopes.

Let's explore AuthoredUp in more detail to understand its offerings and limitations before examining why Typefully might be the ideal alternative for your LinkedIn content needs.

What is AuthoredUp?

AuthoredUp is a specialized Chrome extension designed specifically to enhance the LinkedIn content creation experience. Launched in 2020, it has gained popularity among LinkedIn content creators. As a browser extension rather than a standalone platform, AuthoredUp integrates directly with LinkedIn's native composer, augmenting it with additional features and capabilities.

With AuthoredUp, LinkedIn creators can:

• Format posts with improved spacing, line breaks, and special characters
• Save and organize content ideas and drafts
• Create and manage content templates
• Track post performance with basic analytics
• Schedule posts (with some limitations)
• Collaborate with team members on content creation

AuthoredUp targets professionals who prioritize LinkedIn as their primary social platform, including thought leaders, business executives, sales professionals, marketers, and recruitment specialists. Its focus is on helping these users create more engaging, better-formatted content directly within LinkedIn's ecosystem.

AuthoredUp's Key Features

AuthoredUp focuses exclusively on enhancing the LinkedIn content creation experience through its Chrome extension. Let's explore its core features to understand what it offers—and where it might fall short compared to more versatile alternatives.

Enhanced Post Formatting

AuthoredUp's primary function is to improve the formatting capabilities of LinkedIn's native composer:

• Line break control
• Special characters and symbols
• Text styling options

These formatting enhancements help LinkedIn content stand out in a crowded feed, but they're ultimately constrained by LinkedIn's platform limitations and don't offer the freedom of a dedicated content creation environment.

Content Management and Organization

AuthoredUp provides basic content management functionality for LinkedIn creators:

• Post drafts: users can save drafts directly within the extension, making it easier to work on multiple posts over time.
• Templates: users can create and save templates for recurring post types, saving time and maintaining consistency.

While these features help organize LinkedIn content, they lack the comprehensive content management capabilities offered by dedicated social media management platforms that handle content across multiple networks.

Basic Scheduling Capabilities

AuthoredUp offers limited scheduling functionality using the native LinkedIn scheduling The extension works with LinkedIn's built-in scheduling feature, providing a slightly enhanced interface.

The scheduling features are functional but basic compared to dedicated scheduling tools, and they're limited to LinkedIn content only. This means users managing multiple platforms need separate solutions for scheduling content elsewhere.

Performance Analytics

AuthoredUp includes simple analytics tools that fetch the data from your LinkedIn posts only when you scroll through your activity page.

While their analytics dashboard might look useful, it's a very annoying experience and frustrating when you realize your data is not up to date, forcing you to go back to your LinkedIn profile and scroll a bit more.

Team Collaboration

For Business plan users, AuthoredUp allows you to connect multiple LinkedIn profiles but it doesn't let you share drafts with your clients or team members, comment on LinkedIn drafts, organize drafts, etc.

Overall, it lacks robust team management capabilities, focusing on people who work by themselves.

AuthoredUp Pricing

AuthoredUp offers a relatively straightforward pricing structure with two main tiers.

Individual Plan: $19.95 per user/month

It includes:

• One profile connection included
• Editor with text styling, bullet points, and preview
• Full extension and platform access
• Unlimited drafts, snippets, and company pages
• 300+ hooks and post endings
• 1-click post reuse
• Content analytics

Business Plan: $44.85/month (min of 3 users)

For businesses, AuthoredUp offers a business plan with a minimum of 3 profiles at $14.95/profile/month, which includes:

• Everything in Individual plan
• Connect multiple profiles
• AuthoredUp sub-accounts
• Organization management
• Team analytics
• Draft collaboration

Pros and Cons

Pros of AuthoredUp

• LinkedIn Specialization: makes it tailored for professionals who prioritize LinkedIn above all other platforms.
• LinkedIn Integration: it enhances LinkedIn's native editor with additional capabilities without requiring users to learn a new platform.
• Formatting Improvements: solves LinkedIn's formatting limitations by enabling proper spacing, line breaks, and text formatting.
• Template System: offers the ability to create, save, and reuse templates which helps LinkedIn power users maintain consistency and save time.

Cons of AuthoredUp

• Browser Extension Limitations: as a Chrome extension, AuthoredUp is subject to potential browser compatibility issues, performance concerns, and security considerations that standalone applications avoid.
• Basic Scheduling Capabilities: AuthoredUp's scheduling functionality is relatively basic compared to dedicated social media management platforms like Typefully.
• No LinkedIn Comments Support: AuthoredUp does not allow users to schedule comments when scheduling posts.
• Collaboration Constraints: its collaboration features are less developed without allowing sharing of drafts, comments, and team collaboration when creating content.
• Dependence on LinkedIn's Interface: because AuthoredUp enhances rather than replaces LinkedIn's composer, it remains subject to any changes, limitations, or issues in LinkedIn's native interface.
• No AI Writing Assistance: despite its editor, AuthoredUp doesn't offer built-in AI writing assistance like other tools do.

After examining user reviews and feedback across various platforms, a pattern emerges: while AuthoredUp effectively addresses specific LinkedIn formatting and organization needs, many users eventually seek alternatives that offer broader platform support and more comprehensive features, particularly as their social media presence expands beyond LinkedIn.

This is where Typefully enters the picture as a compelling alternative that addresses many of these limitations while still delivering strong LinkedIn support.

Hootsuite, for instance, offers plans starting at $99 per month, while other alternatives like Buffer and Typefully provide much more accessible entry points with genuine free tiers.

• Too many unnecessary features users find themselves paying for but rarely or never using.

Getting a step ahead of your LinkedIn posting frequency will help you maintain the consistency you need for long-term engagement, target the times and days when your target market is most active, and avoid any last-minute dashes to publish your content manually.

In this guide, we’ll explore how proper scheduling can improve the overall value of your organic LinkedIn marketing, and the main methods you can use to schedule LinkedIn posts for greater success.

Why LinkedIn Scheduling is Important

Before we get into the mechanics of scheduling LinkedIn content, it’s important to look at why scheduling matters and what it can offer for your LinkedIn marketing efforts.

When you start actively scheduling your LinkedIn posts in a long-range content calendar, you’ll start to enjoy three key benefits for your social media marketing, including:

1) Free up more time to do other tasks

We don’t have to tell you that marketing can be chaotic at the best of times. Trends can emerge out of nowhere, and sudden spikes and dips in your KPIs can demand your attention while other projects are left on the back burner. Scheduling your LinkedIn posts in advance will instantly free up more time that you can invest in other marketing channels and other priorities.

2) Post on LinkedIn at the best times

When you start scheduling your LinkedIn posts, you can forward-plan to post when your audience is most active on the platform, even if you’re busy at those times. Very smart, right? 😉

3) Post consistently on LinkedIn no matter what

When you schedule LinkedIn posts in advance, you’ll also make it easier to achieve a consistent posting frequency. It won't matter if your week gets busier than expected. It won't matter if you get sick or can't post on a given day. Scheduling your LinkedIn posts in advance will cover that and ensure your audience doesn't forget you.

Bonus: consistency when posting on LinkedIn is also a positive signal for the LinkedIn algorithm and exposes you to a wider general audience.

How to Schedule Posts Directly on LinkedIn

Now that we’ve established how scheduling on LinkedIn can benefit your brand, let’s explore how you can schedule your posts in advance with the simplest method: using LinkedIn’s built-in scheduling feature.

1) Navigate to the LinkedIn home page and click “Start a post”.

2) Create your post, complete with its text, images, videos, or links.

If you don't know what you should write about, try our free AI LinkedIn post generator tool to generate some inspiration for LinkedIn posts.

3) Click the clock icon in the bottom-right corner.

4) Select the date and time when you want the post to go live.

5) Review your post, then click “Schedule”.

How to View Scheduled Posts on LinkedIn

If you’ve queued up some LinkedIn posts and you want to refresh yourself on your posting schedule or edit the scheduled content, here’s how to see scheduled posts on LinkedIn:

1) Click “Start a post” on the LinkedIn homepage.

2) Click the clock icon in the bottom-right corner.

3) In the post-scheduling window, click “View all scheduled posts” in the bottom-left corner. 

4) You’ll now be on the "Scheduled posts" page, where you can edit, delete, or reschedule the listed posts.

How to Schedule LinkedIn Posts Using Typefully

If you're confused or find LinkedIn’s native scheduler not very friendly, you should consider a dedicated and minimalistic tool like Typefully.

You can draft, schedule, and organize multiple LinkedIn posts all from one simple and beautiful app.

Here’s a look at how to schedule LinkedIn posts from Typefully's LinkedIn post scheduler:

1) Click “New draft” in the top-left corner and select "LinkedIn".

2) Write your LinkedIn post (pro tip: use Typefully AI for some help).

3) Add a first LinkedIn comment to post a link or boost engagement.

4) Click on the orange “Schedule” button in the top-right corner.

4) Choose the date and time you want to schedule the post.

A few pro tips on scheduling LinkedIn posts with Typefully:

• Simply write "tue 4pm" and Typefully will understand you mean "tuesday at 4pm".
• Click on "Preview" to see how your LinkedIn post will look like once published.
• Use "natural posting times" so the LinkedIn post is scheduled for organic times like 3:04 pm or 5:31 pm instead of 3:00 pm or 5:30 pm.
• Choose other social media platforms if you want to cross-publish that post onto other networks.

5) Organize your LinkedIn scheduled content.

To get a more comprehensive view of your LinkedIn scheduled posts, switch to the Queue or Calendar view to see all your scheduled drafts in the date and time slots you’ve selected. 

To re-arrange your LinkedIn scheduled posts, simply drag and drop them to the desired date and time slots. To simplify this view, you can always categorize your posts by tags and use the calendar’s filters.

Best Practices When Scheduling on LinkedIn

By scheduling LinkedIn posts in advance, you’ve already taken the first step towards a more organized and effective presence on LinkedIn. However, there are still additional steps you can take to ensure your scheduling is as effective as possible.

Here are some of the most important best practices when it comes to scheduling LinkedIn posts:

1) Analyze LinkedIn Engagement and Adjust Your Schedule

LinkedIn tends to get more engagement at certain days and times, which can provide a good starting point when you’re figuring out the best times to post on LinkedIn. 

However, your target audience is going to have distinct behaviors that affect the way they use the platform, and it’s crucial to analyze their engagement trends to match them with the way you schedule posts on LinkedIn.

For a more intuitive experience, Typefully offers a “Find best time” feature accessible from the scheduling view. This will use data from your posting activity to automatically determine the times and dates when your content is likely to get the most reach and engagement.

By better aligning your posting rhythm with the habits of your unique target audience, you should be able to improve engagement overall and maximize your reach.

2) Don’t Let Scheduling Limit Your Flexibility

When you schedule posts on LinkedIn, you’ll remove a lot of the work that can come with trying to manage LinkedIn content manually. However, this doesn’t mean you can simply queue up your content and forget about it.

No industry niche is static, and it’s crucial to keep up with emerging news stories, new trends or technologies, and other big developments in your niche.

As irritating as it may be, there may be times when pausing, delaying, or deleting one of your scheduled posts could be the most prudent move for your overall success on LinkedIn.

Be sure to set some time aside every week to check on the latest goings-on in your industry, as well as the most talked-about topics in your target audience, and review your scheduled content to see if anything needs to be changed.

3) Diversify Your LinkedIn Schedule

Scheduling will help you maintain a consistent level of activity on LinkedIn, but it’s essential to avoid letting your content become stale or repetitive over time. 

Before you greenlight a week’s worth of content or more, look at the topics and content formats that you have queued up, and consider how well this will hold your audience’s engagement.

To avoid audience fatigue, experiment with LinkedIn articles, videos, carousel posts, and polls. Like any change you make to your LinkedIn content calendar, it’s important to treat this as a variable when you’re analyzing LinkedIn data, and study how using different kinds of content affects your reach and engagement.

4) Enhance Visibility With User Interaction

As part of your LinkedIn content schedule, make sure to block off some time the day after a post goes live to revisit it and get involved with the discussion in the comments. Even if you don’t find anything super enlightening every time, you’ll still foster a closer relationship and boost your brand’s long-term visibility and engagement.

When you start to schedule LinkedIn posts in advance, you’ll soon enjoy a more consistent brand voice on LinkedIn, more effective time management, and greater value-per-post thanks to effective peak-time posting.

What are the best practices for scheduling posts on LinkedIn?

Some effective ways to maximize the value of your LinkedIn post scheduling are:

• Analyze engagement: study the best times to post on Linkedin based on your own audience engagement.
• Stay flexible: adjust your schedule in response to industry news or changes.
• Diversify content: experiment with different content types to keep your audience engaged and collect new data points.
• Engage with your audience: respond to comments to improve post visibility and strengthen connections.

While posting on LinkedIn is certainly an effective way to build visibility for your business or personal brand, like any platform, LinkedIn has its own unique posting frequency conventions that it’s important to be aware of to maximize engagement.

In this guide, we’ll explore how often to post on LinkedIn based on the latest data, and how you can determine and target the best posting schedule for your unique needs.

The Best Times to Post on LinkedIn

There isn't a single "best time" to post on LinkedIn for everyone. Your unique audience has specific behaviors, which will determine the ideal dates and times for you to post and engage.

Also, post-COVID, remote and flexible work have altered how people use LinkedIn. The traditional 9-5, Monday-Friday schedule is less relevant, so finding the right posting rhythm for your brand may need some experimentation.

Although there’s no magic bullet for figuring out how often to post on LinkedIn, we have identified the best time windows to post on Linkedin by analyzing the data from a big sample of LinkedIn users using Typefully to schedule and publish their content.

Here’s a summary:

• 🌅 7:00 AM to 10:00 AM (before people start work, while having breakfast, commuting, etc)
• 🥗 11:30 AM to 1:30 PM (just right before and during lunchtime as people take a break and scroll on their phones)
• 🚋 4:30 PM to 7 PM (as people leave work and check social media again)

Finding Your Ideal LinkedIn Posting Schedule

As we mentioned earlier, when you’re figuring out how often to post on LinkedIn, you need to analyze certain variables unique to your brand, and develop a posting schedule that matches these variables.

The main things to consider when you start finding your LinkedIn posting schedule include:

Industry Conventions: Posting frequency norms on LinkedIn will vary from one industry or niche to the next. If you’re in a B2B services industry, for example, your audience may expect longer thought leadership content, published less often. If you’re in a creative space, people may respond to more frequently posted content with engaging visuals.

Your Resources: Staying consistent with your LinkedIn activity is important to maximize engagement, but overstretching your resources will only lead to burnout and a general fall in content quality. It’s crucial to have a clear idea of your bandwidth, and the kind of schedule you can realistically deliver with this.

Ability to Create Valuable Content: Even if your resources are all there for a consistent posting schedule, posting poor-quality content won’t get you anywhere fast, no matter how consistent you’re being. Making sure you prioritise quality over quantity, and steer away from mediocre content that doesn’t move the needle, will support a consistent schedule for the best results possible.

With these variables in mind, let’s look at the practical steps you can take to create a LinkedIn posting schedule that works for your brand.

4 Steps to Set a LinkedIn Posting Schedule That’s Right for You

Now that we’ve determined some of the key factors that go into how often to post on LinkedIn, here are the four steps to developing a LinkedIn posting schedule that suits your needs, resources, and long-term goals.

Step 1: Establish Your Goals and Audience

Before getting into the hands-on work of creating a posting schedule, it’s crucial to lay the foundations in terms of your goals and audience.

The goals of your LinkedIn content campaign will determine how you measure the success of your final posting schedule, and could focus on things like increasing brand awareness, lead generation, or expanding the LinkedIn connections for you or your brand.

Next, take some time to establish who your target audience is in a LinkedIn context. You can do this by combining the target audience data you have from your other marketing channels with trends you’ve noticed involving your most-interacted-with content on LinkedIn, such as common pain points cited, the popularity of industry trends, and other factors.

Step 2: Draft Your Posting Schedule

Once you know the kind of profiles you’re hoping to reach through LinkedIn, you can move on to creating the first iteration of your LinkedIn posting schedule. This will be refined as you start rolling out content and observing trends, but to begin with, here’s a rough guideline based on the starting age and reach of your LinkedIn profile:

• New User Profiles: 3-5 posts per week to build momentum quickly and establish your credibility in the industry.
• Established Profiles: 2-3 posts per week, with the aim to maintain the engagement from your first batch and continue to provide value for your audience.
• Company Pages: 2-3 posts per week depending on industry conventions, assuming you have the time and resources to provide high-quality content.

When mapping out your LinkedIn posting schedule, you’ll also need to decide on the content mix you’re going to spread out over your scheduled posting times and dates. This will help add variety to your page’s brand, and keep your audience engaged. If you need some inspiration, try an AI LinkedIn Post Generator.

Some popular forms of content on LinkedIn include:

• Unique insights on topics or news stories that are popular in your industry.
• Personal stories that create emotional connections.
• Practical tips that are useful to your target audience.
• Visual content like image carousels and videos that stand out from a typical user’s LinkedIn feed.
• Polls or open-ended questions to stimulate discussions or debate, or gather more insights about your audience.

The final, and possibly most important part of this step is blocking off the time when you’re going to create your posts. 

Leaving this work too close to the scheduled post time will lead to a lot of last-minute stress, and could affect the quality of the final product. To avoid this, we recommend creating your content at least 1-2 weeks in advance of when you’re publishing it. 

Step 3: Track Your Performance

As you roll out your LinkedIn posts based on your initial schedule, it’s essential to monitor the KPIs based on your established goals on a regular basis. This data will help you tailor your posting habits to the behaviors of your LinkedIn audience, and eventually create a posting schedule that’s ideal for your unique situation.

Some of the key performance indicators you may want to analyze include:

• Engagement rate.
• Impressions, likes, or comments per post.
• The growth in connection invitations or DMs directly related to the content you’re posting.

While tracking this data, you should also look for patterns in the variables shared by your best-performing posts, such as the type of post and the topic focus. 

Most of all, it’s important to experiment with different times of day and days of the week when rolling out your first batch of content, and take note of the times that generate the most success based on your established KPIs.

Step 4: Analyze and Adapt

After 2-4 weeks of posting based on your first-draft schedule, you should have enough data to review your content’s performance and plan some adjustments to your strategy. 

If engagement in your posts has managed to stay consistently high with the kinds of content you’re targeting, you can follow this strategy and increase your posting frequency. If you’ve noticed a flat or downward trend, it’s better to reduce your posting frequency and reassess your approach to content ideation.

Even if your audience seems to love the content you’re posting, don’t get ahead of yourself by scheduling all your best ideas at once. This is a common mistake that can lead to scrambling for fresh ideas, putting out low-quality content, and an overall drop in engagement from your audience.

As you figure out what works for your profile, you may find it difficult to keep up with actually pushing your content live in line with your schedule. Typefully’s AI-powered social media scheduling tool makes it easy to queue up posts for future publishing, both on LinkedIn and across your other social media accounts.

How to Maximize Engagement on LinkedIn

Determining how many times to post on LinkedIn in a given period can be challenging, but isn’t as hard as consistently creating great content that will maximize engagement with your audience.

While you work on finding the LinkedIn posting schedule that’s right for you, here are some key tips to maximize engagement for each post on LinkedIn.

Don’t just “set and forget” posts
Make sure to engage with comments from your audience as they come in. You may be surprised by how often this can turn into a stimulating conversation that multiplies the long-term value of the post, or even highlights a fresh new idea for the next piece of content in your calendar.

Mix evergreen content with posts on emerging industry news
Getting the right keywords and hashtags related to a hot industry topic can be a great way to expand your audience, while the more universal posts provide consistent value for the audience you already have.

Take time crafting headlines and visuals
Your audience is going to see countless LinkedIn posts every day, and you’ll need to give them something that stands out in order to stop them scrolling. Spending more time on headlines or images that are immediately attention-grabbing can make all the difference to your rates of engagement.

Inject humor and wit
Funny, clever content can help you stand out in the news feed, while making the substance of your posts more memorable. Just make sure that you’re not doing this too often, as this can make it feel forced or awkward.

Use hashtags wisely: Tagging relevant colleagues, industry leaders, clients, or other entities is another effective way to boost engagement. Again, it’s important to check you’re not doing this to excess, as it can come off as spammy.

Getting Ahead of Your LinkedIn Calendar With Typefully

Figuring out the LinkedIn posting frequency that’s right for your brand takes careful analysis, trial, and error. However, once you find that sweet spot, the impact on your engagement rates can be huge.

We hope this guide has given you a better understanding of the variables that go into finding a posting rhythm that works, and helped you plan your next steps as you work to maximize the value of your LinkedIn presence.

How Often To Post on LinkedIn FAQs

Should I use a scheduling tool for LinkedIn posts?

Yes! Using scheduling tools can help maintain consistency and streamline content planning. Social media scheduling tools like Typefully help you create better content, schedule posts in advance, and manage posting across multiple platforms, making it considerably easier to stick to your posting schedule.

How often should I post on LinkedIn?

The ideal posting frequency (how many times to post on LinkedIn) depends on your goals, audience, and available resources.
- New users should aim for 3-5 posts per week to build visibility.
-Established profiles can maintain engagement with a reduced frequency of 2-3 posts per week.
- Company pages typically benefit from 2-3 posts per week, depending on industry norms.

How should I determine the best posting schedule for my LinkedIn audience?

To find your optimal schedule, consider your industry’s conventions, available resources, and ability to produce quality content. Different industries have varying engagement patterns, so researching this is key. Ensuring a consistent posting schedule without compromising quality is also important, as is prioritizing valuable content over the overall frequency. Regularly tracking engagement metrics like likes, comments, and shares can help refine your strategy over time.

How far in advance should I plan my LinkedIn content?

To ensure consistency and reduce last-minute stress, we recommend planning to create your content at least 1-2 weeks in advance. This forward planning allows for higher-quality content creation and better alignment with your long-term marketing goals. You can schedule it in advance, leaving you with a nice backlog and peace of mind.

How often should you post on LinkedIn as a business?

Businesses and company pages on LinkedIn don't get much reach due to LinkedIn's business model that incentivizes companies to pay for ads. As a business/company, aim to post 2-3 times a week just so your company page show some activity and doesn't look like a ghost page.

Can I post too often on LinkedIn?

Yes. Posting too frequently without providing value can overwhelm your audience, decrease engagement, and chase away followers. Instead of focusing on quantity, aim for high-quality, well-thought-out posts that resonate with your audience. And publish these consistently every week!

Best Practices for Job Hunting on LinkedIn

LinkedIn is hugely popular, which makes it a double-edged sword for job seekers. 

On the one hand, there’s a huge variety of open positions and companies, making it easy to explore and find the next step in your career that’s right for you. On the other hand, the sheer popularity of the platform means it’s also extremely competitive, and you’ll need to go the extra mile in your job hunting to maximize your chances of finding your dream job.

To help you get the most out of any LinkedIn resume upload, here are four best practices for job hunting on LinkedIn.

Optimize Your LinkedIn Profile By Filling Out Every Field

When you fill out all the available fields on your LinkedIn profile, two things will happen. 

First, any recruiter who visits your profile will get a much better idea of who you are and the kind of value you can offer their organization. Secondly, the LinkedIn algorithm will take notice of the fact that you have a complete profile, and will be more likely to rank it higher.

Some key things to include on your LinkedIn profile for greater job-hunting success include:

• A high-quality professional profile picture and cover photo.
• A headline that lists your core skills,.
• An “About” section that summarises your personal brand, professional ambitions, and unique skills.
• An “Activity” section that shows you’re frequently engaging with your network by posting, sharing, and commenting.
• A detailed “Experience” section listing the previous positions you’ve held, with details regarding your responsibilities, skills, and achievements.
• Education, licenses, and certifications.

Keyword-Optimize Your LinkedIn Profile

While filling every field of your LinkedIn profile will give your LinkedIn page a nice boost in terms of visibility, it’s still important to include relevant and popular keywords in your profile. This will help LinkedIn’s algorithm understand your profile’s distinctive features, and make it more likely to show your profile to recruiters who are searching for professionals like you.

Here are the steps to follow when keyword-optimizing your LinkedIn profile:

1. Brainstorm search terms based on your industry, niche, and the kinds of recruiters you’re hoping to attract to your LinkedIn profile. For example, if you’re an experienced HR manager, you might want to include terms like “talent acquisition”, “HR compliance”, “organizational development”, or “conflict resolution”.
2. Use the LinkedIn search bar to enter these terms, and take note of any search suggestions that crop up repeatedly.
3. Check out the user profiles that rank highly for these search terms, and take note of any other terms they tend to use on their profiles.
4. Integrate the keywords you’ve highlighted in your headline, “About” section, and professional experience. Make sure to include these terms naturally and avoid over-using them, as this could hurt your profile’s visibility rather than help it.

Boost Your Profile’s Value With Posts and Articles

While many people use LinkedIn solely as a job search or recruitment engine, it’s still a social media platform at its core. 

Like any social media platform, posting consistent, high-quality content on LinkedIn can greatly improve your visibility on the platform, and get you one step closer to the dream career opportunity you’re looking for.

By consistently scheduling LinkedIn posts and articles on your profile, you’ll stand to reap a number of benefits, including:

• Increasing your profile’s visibility on both LinkedIn and Google search results.
• Setting your profile apart from other candidates with fresh takes on popular industry topics.
• Increasing dwell time on your profile, which acts as a positive signal in the LinkedIn algorithm and helps your organic visibility in search results.

To make content ideation and creation that much simpler, be sure to check out:

• Typefully’s AI ideas and rewrites to make your LinkedIn content stronger in an instant.
• The best times to post on LinkedIn to make sure your content gets the best engagement possible

Develop Your Network

Once you’ve got your profile well-optimized, the next thing to focus on is growing your LinkedIn network. With more connections on LinkedIn, you’ll be more visible in searches by recruiters who are a first or second connection and will be more likely to see new job openings as soon as they come up.

Some of the most effective ways to expand your network on LinkedIn include:

• Patching up your network with colleagues or fellow alumni who aren’t connections already - even if their department or niche isn’t directly related to your current job search.
• Following businesses and industry leaders who interest you, and engaging with their posts often (without being annoying!)
• Participating in LinkedIn groups related to your industry niche by starting or engaging in discussions, sharing industry news and insights, and more. 
• When sending connection invitations, attach a personal note that lets you know how you found the profile and why you chose to connect.
• Actively participating in webinars and other online events, showing your interest, and starting meaningful interactions with other people interested in a given topic.

Where to upload a resume on LinkedIn?

You can upload your resume in three places on LinkedIn:

• To your account under "Manage Your Resumes" in the job application settings for future use.
• To your public profile by adding it to the "Featured" section. Lastly,
• Upload it directly when applying for jobs using LinkedIn Easy Apply.

Who can see my uploaded resume on LinkedIn?

The visibility of your resume depends on where you upload it. If you upload it through LinkedIn Easy Apply, only the recruiter for that specific job can see it. If you add it to your public profile, anyone visiting your profile can view and download it.

Is it better to upload a resume to my profile or use Easy Apply?

Both options serve different purposes. Uploading your resume to LinkedIn Easy Apply is convenient for quick job applications and keeps your resume private. On the other hand, adding it to your public profile increases visibility and allows recruiters to find you more easily.

To maximize the impact of your resume, make sure it includes relevant keywords from job descriptions, is well-formatted, and aligns with your LinkedIn profile. Also, include your most valuable skills and achievements to stand out to recruiters and hiring managers.

The Evolution from Twitter to X

The rebranding from Twitter to X came as part of Musk's larger vision to transform the platform into a comprehensive digital services app. The 𝕏 logo, with its minimalist design, replaced the familiar blue bird. This change reflected Musk's ambition to expand beyond social media into financial services, messaging, and other digital utilities.

The new 𝕏 branding maintains the platform's identity while signaling its evolution into something bigger. While many users still refer to the platform as Twitter, the 𝕏 symbol has gradually become more prevalent across the digital landscape.

Understanding the 𝕏 Symbol: A Unicode Double-Stroke Letter

The official 𝕏 logo uses a custom-designed symbol, but for everyday users, the closest representation is the mathematical double-struck capital X (𝕏), which is part of the Unicode standard. This special character belongs to a family of double-stroke letters commonly used in mathematical notation.

The double-stroke X (𝕏) was chosen for its distinctive appearance and similarity to the official logo. While it's not an exact match, it's become the preferred way for users to represent the X symbol in their display names, bios, and posts.

How to Copy and Use the X Symbol (𝕏)

There are several ways to add the 𝕏 symbol to your social media presence:

1. Direct Copy-Paste Method
   Simply copy this symbol: 𝕏
   You can now paste it anywhere on the platform or other social media sites.
2. Unicode Input
   The Unicode code point for the double-struck X is U+1D54F. On most systems, you can type this using:

• Windows: Hold Alt + type 120143
• Mac: Press Command + Control + Space to open the emoji keyboard and search for "mathematical double-struck"

Best Practices for Using Twitter's X Symbol

When using the 𝕏 symbol in your online presence, consider these tips:

• Ensure the symbol displays correctly across different platforms and devices.
• Use it sparingly in professional communications where standard text might be more appropriate.
• Consider combining it with your display name rather than replacing all instances of "X" or "Twitter" in your text.
• Keep in mind that some older systems might not display the symbol correctly.

The Future of the X Symbol

As the platform continues to evolve under Musk's leadership, the X symbol (or 𝕏) represents more than just a rebranding – it's a symbol of the platform's ambitious transformation. While some users still prefer calling it Twitter, the 𝕏 symbol has become an integral part of the platform's new identity.

Whether you're updating your profile, creating content, or just staying current with social media trends, knowing how to use the 𝕏 symbol is increasingly important for maintaining a modern online presence.

Remember that while the official X logo might look slightly different from the Unicode symbol (𝕏), this character has become the standard way for users to represent their connection to the platform in text-based environments.

If you're considering becoming more active on Twitter (𝕏) or trying to cover multiple social media platforms, consider using a content creation and scheduling tool such as Typefully.

The number of social media platforms continues to evolve rapidly, with new platforms emerging and existing ones adapting to user preferences and technological advancements like AI. Understanding which social media sites align with your brand's goals and target demographic is crucial for developing an effective marketing strategy that delivers measurable results.

Let's explore a review of Buffer and understand why Typefully should be considered an alternative to Buffer in several key areas.

Buffer review and Typefully

Before diving into Buffer’s core features, let’s take a look at the key ways it matches up to Typefully (a Buffer alternative).

• Buffer is a social media scheduling tool compatible with 11 different social platforms, from Facebook to Instagram, all the way to Google Business Profile. Typefully, on the other hand, is positioned as a clean AI-powered writing tool to help you grow on 𝕏, LinkedIn, Threads, Bluesky, and more, authentically.
• As an older app, Buffer has a higher number of features which makes its user interface slightly more overwhelming when starting out. Typefully presents a cleaner interface with a big focus on a distraction-free environment to create content.
• Both Buffer and Typefully offer a free plan and a 14-day free trial. However, for 5 channels, Buffer's pricing is $25/month while Typefully is $12.50/month.

Those are the main differences between Buffer and Typefully. They both have similar functions, but Buffer is an older app with more features focused on the multiple calendars to manage.

On the other hand, Typefully is built around minimalism and simplicity. It’s easy for everyday use and helps you create the best content you can, with an AI writing assistant specifically trained on social media content writing.

What is Buffer?

Buffer markets itself as an all-you-need social media toolkit for small businesses. It's a 14-year-old app compatible with the channels small businesses use, such as Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Google Business Profile, and others.

With it, you can:

• Create and publish social media posts.
• Build landing pages for your small business.
• Engage with your audiences and analyze your performance.

Buffer helps small business owners without social media teams posting regularly on their preferred channels.

Buffer’s Key Features

Buffer is packed with features to help small businesses promote their content on social media. However, with a lot of features and channels, it can be hard to get started. Let’s take a look at what it has to offer.

Create kanban board

You can use AI to generate ideas and save them on a board. This is supposed to be the place where you get organized and create posts.

Publish calendar

Here you can connect the channels you need to post to and see what content you've scheduled/posted already.

After you've connected your social media channels and started posting content, you'll also be able to engage with the people who interact with it in the "Engage" tab. This is a paid feature, however.

Analyze content performance

Buffer's free plan only offers basic analytics on individual posts. If you want access to advanced analytics, you'll also have to upgrade to a paid plan. When you do so, you can now see aggregate and advanced metrics for your connected channels and content published across them.

In comparison, here's Typefully Analytics page:

It tracks:

• Impressions
• Engagement
• Followers growth
• Individual performance of each tweet
• Profile visits

Buffer's Pricing

While not as expensive as Hypefury or Tweethunter, for connecting 5 channels, Buffer's price is $25/month (billed annually).

While it can be pricey for some people, it includes 5 channels and they do offer a 14-day free trial, so you can figure out if it's a good fit for you.

Pros and Cons

Pros

• Buffer is great for small businesses to publish on channels like Facebook.
• The "engage" feature allows you to manage all interactions from one place.
• You can organize all your ideas in their nice-looking Kanban board.

Cons

• If you need multiple channels, Buffer gets more expensive when compared to alternatives like Typefully.
• Buffer is not optimized to offer a clean user interface to write/create content.

The Best Buffer Alternative is Typefully

Buffer is a great social media toolkit for small businesses. But not for those teams and creators who are more interested in a clean and easy-to-use interface with a focus on writing great authentic content. Also, it can get quite expensive once you connect multiple channels. Fortunately, we have the perfect alternative to Buffer!

Get started with Typefully today!

Regardless of how big it is, you want to be in full control of it.

Growing an audience on social media with tools like Typefully is how most people start. However, once you get to a certain size and comfort, you should start diversifying where you post your content in order to avoid platform risk. If you truly want control over your audience (and your business), you need to own your audience.

One of the best ways to own an audience and diversify is to build an email newsletter off of your social media audience.

In this guide, we’ll break down how to leverage your social media audience to start an email newsletter and secure your audience.

Let’s dive in.

Diversify to increase your reach and decrease the risk

Platform risk is associated with the fact you don’t own your social media audience and that changes in the algorithms may affect your reach no matter the number of followers you have. Because you don’t control by whom your content is seen, diversifying is a must.

An email newsletter is a great way to diversify and, at the same time, start owning your audience since you have direct access to the email inboxes of your subscribers. It’s the only tool that makes sure your content is delivered directly to your audience without any algorithms in between.

Now, having your business or brand rely on social media for traffic and awareness doesn’t mean you’ll lose it overnight. However, the access to an audience on social media is less predictable and more indirect than the access to an email audience.

Building an email newsletter with social media

Social media is one of the greatest technological advancements known to man. It’s created a global community accessible to the majority of humans on earth to stay connected and informed, and to boost commerce. It’s a great place to make friends, meet new people, hire talent, meet investors, find customers, you name it.

Everyone agrees it’s one of the most effective channels you can leverage to attract, nurture, and convert an audience. But, it’s not enough.

Apart from the community value you get, the best way to fortify your business and leverage your social media audience is to ensure you build an email newsletter simultaneously. You can use the trust and reputation you’ve gained on your social media to promote your newsletter, funneling your followers into email newsletter subscribers.

Use social media for:

• Making new connections and meet people.
• Short-form, day-to-day content.
• Build trust and reputation.

Use an email newsletter for:

• Gain direct access to your audience.
• Long-form, more structured content.
• Nurture and sell to your audience.

The best part about an email newsletter is that you own your email list, and no one can take it from you. At its core, an email list is simply a CSV file with a list of email addresses on it. No email platform can take this list from you, so you truly own it.

You get a direct line to your audience forever.

Social Leads are Cold, but Email Leads are Hot

If your goal is to grow and **monetize your audience, there’s one more reason why you don’t want your entire audience to only be on social media:

→ Purchase intent.

A follower is someone who signals interest in what you do and what you post online. They want to see more of it, learn from you and possibly connect with you. They don’t directly mean: “I want to buy your products and services.”

But, with an email newsletter, it’s different. When someone signs up to an email list, they have to directly opt-in to receive marketing messages from the brand. This means every time someone enters their email to get on your newsletter, they’re not just saying, “I kind of like your stuff.” They’re saying, “I like your stuff. And, yes, you can market to me. You can sell your products and services to me right in my email inbox.”

The purchase intent is different between a follower and an email subscriber. This means your social media followers are colder leads, while your email subscribers are warmer leads.

This is also one of the reasons the return on investment (ROI) of email marketing is the highest of any digital marketing channel at 36:1. Your email subscribers are much more ready to buy.

As of November 2024, Bluesky counts with over 20 million registered users and almost 3 million daily active users, surpassing Threads temporarily.

Let's find out all the answers to all the popular questions people have about Bluesky.

What is Bluesky?

Bluesky is a decentralized social media platform initially led by Jack Dorsey (former Twitter CEO) and developed in parallel with X (now Twitter). Bluesky is seen as alternative to X because it has a Twitter-like user interface but it allows people to choose what algorithm curates their content. This means people can build their own algorithms and have their content curated the way they want it.

Jack Dorsey, as Twitter's CEO in 2019, introduced the Bluesky social app project. At the time, the project's team was described as a “small independent team of up to five open source architects, engineers, and designers,” and he said they would build a decentralized standard for social media so Twitter could adopt it. However, as we all know, Elon Musk bought the platform and Bluesky was separated from X.

As of May 2024, Jack Dorsey is no longer on the board of Bluesky. The Bluesky app is now an independent public benefit corporation led by Jay Graber.

What Makes the Bluesky App Different?

The Bluesky social network functions as a refreshing alternative to conventional platforms. Users of the Bluesky app can create posts of up to 256 characters and share photos, similar to Twitter but with enhanced features.

• What truly distinguishes Bluesky is its transparency to the public on how its built, and on how content is curated and moderated.
• The Bluesky app also uses a different handle system where users can register with a format like @typefully.bsky.social or use their own custom domain like @typefully.com.
• Recent updates to the Bluesky app include direct messaging capabilities, though currently limited to one-on-one conversations.
• Bluesky also has something people are really loving, which is the possibility of setting custom feeds and algorithms based on your preferences. This is where this new platform really shines.

Bluesky vs X: Key Differences

While Bluesky started as a Twitter project, it has evolved into a completely independent platform. The Bluesky social experience differs significantly from X, employing a decentralized protocol (AT Protocol) and maintaining stronger user privacy protections. Unlike Twitter's recent changes, Bluesky has explicitly stated it won't use user content for AI training and preserves traditional blocking features. Instead of relying on advertising revenue, the Bluesky app focuses on developing premium services to sustain its operations.

How to Use Bluesky

After signing up, you simply create a handle with your username which will appear like @username.bsky.social or use your own custom domain if you own one.

Once you're in, you'll see that the Bluesky app works very similarly to a more basic and simplistic version of X.

• You can add a profile pic, background pic, and a bio to your profile.
• You can write posts up to 256 characters, including videos, photos and gifs.
• You can like, reply, and reshare to posts.
• You can search for and follow other people and brands.

Then, for the feed, you'll see a "Discover" and "Following" feeds. Discover will show you content based on an algorithm that learns about what you like (a bit like the "For You" on X) and "Following" will only show content from accounts you follow.

 Then, you can add custom Feeds by clicking on the # icon on the top right and add other ways to curate content you want to see.

Who Uses the Bluesky App?

Since its launch, the Bluesky social network has experienced a huge growth, attracting over 20 million users. The platform hosts prominent figures such as Barbara Streisand, Mark Cuban, and major news organizations including The Guardian (which recently left X), Bloomberg and The Washington Post.

And of course we at Typefully are on Bluesky too!

Is Bluesky free?

Yes. The platform has yet to introduce paid features but does not want to rely on traditional advertising revenue.

Is Bluesky safe?

Generally, yes, as safe as any other social media platform. Security is a cornerstone of the Bluesky social network, with comprehensive measures protecting users. The platform has implemented email verification, sophisticated link warning systems, and advanced automated moderation tools.

What is Ozone by Bluesky?

Bluesky has introduced Ozone, an innovative tool enabling users to create and manage their own moderation services, providing unprecedented control over their social media experience.

Is Bluesky available on iOS and Android?

The Bluesky social network maintains its commitment to accessibility, remaining free to use and open to the public. Users can access Bluesky through iOS and Android devices, as well as web browsers at bsky.social. As the platform grows, it continues to refine its user experience while maintaining its core principles of decentralization and user empowerment.

Who owns Bluesky?

While Jack Dorsey initially funded Bluesky, he is not involved in day-to-day development and no longer sits on the company’s board. The CEO of Bluesky is now Jay Graber, who previously worked as a software engineer for the cryptocurrency Zcash.

The company is now owned by Jay Graber, the Bluesky team, and their investors. Bluesky has retained a traditional corporate structure but it wants to take control of content away from a top-down entity and return it to people.

The Future of Bluesky

Looking ahead, Bluesky has secured $15 million in Series A funding as of November 2024, with ambitious plans to enhance the platform.

The Bluesky app's roadmap includes introducing premium features such as high-quality video uploads, while maintaining its commitment to user-centric development. The platform continues to evolve with more robust moderation tools and federation features, all while staying true to its vision of sustainable monetization without advertising dependency.

But how do you know what is the best time to post on Twitter? How do you even which are the best days to post on Twitter?

To answer these questions, our team at Typefully analyzed thousands of Twitter posts from the best-performing creators to find the best days and best times to post on Twitter.

PS: Check this article if you want to know the best times for posting on LinkedIn instead.

When is the Best Time to Post on Twitter (X)?

The best time to post on Twitter is:

• 🌅 Early mornings - 7:00 AM to 9:00 AM (EST)
• 🚋 Late afternoons - 5:00 PM to 8:00PM (EST)

These time slots were the ones where we saw posts getting the highest number of impressions and engagement. Before 7am and after 8pm, content has a very poor performance on every day of the week, across all Twitter accounts we've analyzed.

To make sure you are only scheduling and posting within these times, you can pre-select and save these times as your preferred slots with Typefully. After that, whenever you schedule a Twitter post, Typefully automatically knows where to put it.

Bonus: Typefully also lets you add suggested time slots based on the times your best performing tweets have been published.

The bottom line in order to find the best time to post on Twitter is to find the time when your audience is active on Twitter. Get to know them well, test multiple time slots and learn from what works vs doesn't.

Now, let's see how the best time to post on Twitter varies within each day of the week, including weekends.

Best Time to Post on Twitter (X) on Monday

Mondays start off with people catching up with emails and news on Twitter, so early morning before work kicks in is a nice time to post. Or after they finish work and need a break/distraction.

⏱️ Best time to post on Twitter on Monday: 7AM and 5PM (EST)

Best Time to Post on Twitter (X) on Tuesday

The highest performing times in our analysis for Tuesday are 7am and 8am, and we only see similar numbers later in the day at 7pm.

⏱️ Best time to post on Twitter on Tuesday: 7AM, 8AM and 7PM (EST)

Best Time to Post on Twitter (X) on Wednesday

Wednesday, being the middle of the workweek, was the weakest day for Twitter (excluding the weekend). People are busy so your best shot is during a quick break throughout the day.

⏱️ Best times to post on Twitter on Wednesday: 11AM, 4PM and 7PM (EST)

Best Time to Post on Twitter (X) on Thursday

Thursday sees very good engagement very early in the morning but then only picks up after work. During the day it tends to see average performance.

Best Time to Post on Twitter (X) on Friday

Friday sees a similar pattern to Thursday, except the lunch time which sees higher engagement and continuous growth up to 8PM.

⏱️ Best times to post on Twitter on Friday: 7AM, 4PM and 7PM (EST)

Best Time to Post on Twitter (X) on Saturday

Saturdays see very low engagement during the day as people go on with their offline weekend activities but it starts picking up around 7PM-8PM.

⏱️ Best time to post on Twitter on Saturday: 7PM and 8PM (EST)

Best Time to Post on Twitter (X) on Sunday

Sunday is a good day to catch people mid-morning and late afternoon/evening as they get ready for the week and might check their socials.

⏱️ Best time to post on Twitter on Sunday: 10AM, 11AM and 6PM (EST)

Summary: Best Times to Post on Twitter by Day of the Week

• Monday: 7:00 AM and 5:00 PM

Remember that these times are in Eastern Time (EST) and that they are general guidelines based on aggregated data we've analyzed from active Twitter accounts using Typefully. The best time to post on Twitter for your specific audience may vary, which brings us to our next section.

How to Find the Best Time to Post on Twitter

The honest answer is that you need to test a lot of time slots, publish multiple posts and analyze your Twitter Analytics to understand your audience. An easy to do this is to use a tool like Typefully which lets you schedule your posts and see detailed analytics on how they are performing.

However, I'm sure you know your audience a little bit already so no need to start from scratch. Instead, think about these three questions:

• Who is your target audience? 
• What does their day look like? 
• When are they more likely to be active on Twitter?

Each audience spends their time on Twitter differently. For examples, marketers are probably on it during the day but busy founders and CEOs are more likely to only check it before/after work and during breaks.

Knowing who you are trying to reach and what they day to day looks like is crucial to help you find the best time to post on Twitter.

Once you get a feeling for that, follow these steps to further optimize posting times for your Twitter content:

1. Analyze your Twitter analytics: pay attention to when your followers are most active and what publishing days and times receive the highest reach and engagement.
2. Experiment with different posting times: try publishing content at various times throughout the week and track the performance of each post. This will help you identify patterns specific to your audience.
3. Use social media management tools: platforms like Typefully let you schedule multiple posts in advance and look back into your analytics to see the best times.
4. Consider your target audience's time zone: if you're targeting a global audience, be mindful of different time zones and make sure you are reaching everyone at an optimal time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Publishing your Twitter posts at the right time is a critical action to maximize your content's reach and engagement. Below, you'll find clear and concise answers to the most asked questions about Twitter's best times to post.

What is the best time to post on Twitter?

What are the best days to post on Twitter?

While there isn't a best single day, what you should know is that Tuesday, Thursdays and Fridays tend to perform better, as weekends tend to perform worst.

Is the time you post on Twitter so important?

Yes, it's important because you want to be posting when you know there are people online who will like to see it. Now, should you obsess about it? No. But should you try to find and optimize your best posting times? Yes.

What tools should I use to make Twitter easier?

We're biased but 150,000+ founders, marketers, creators, and engineers use Typefully to write, schedule, publish and analyze their content. It contains detailed analytics and useful features to help you find your best time to post on Twitter.

The huge surge in creators and personal brands being built on LinkedIn has made it more important than ever to know what to post and when to post. Understanding when to post on LinkedIn is crucial for maximizing your content's reach and engagement.

In this comprehensive guide, we'll use the analyzed data from millions of posts to identify patterns and answer the question "What are the best times to post on LinkedIn?"

We'll explore the best times to post on LinkedIn for each day of the week, discuss how to find the ideal posting times for your specific audience, and talk about what influences how you schedule your LinkedIn content. Let's get started!

When is The Best Time to Post on LinkedIn?

The best time to post on LinkedIn is actually composed of 3 time ranges:

• 🌅 7:00 AM to 10:00 AM (before people start work, while having breakfast, commuting, etc)
• 🥗 11:30 AM to 1:30 PM (just right before and during lunch time as people take a break and scroll on their phones)
• 🚋 4:30 PM to 7PM (as people leave work and check social media again)

You can easily pre-select and save these as your preferred options with Typefully to make scheduling LinkedIn posts much simpler and faster.

These ranges accommodate all weekdays and all types of posts from all accounts (big, small, active, inactive, etc). However, the important rationale here is that in order to find the best time to post on LinkedIn, you have to find the time when most people are active on LinkedIn.

Whether you're growing a LinkedIn Page or your own personal brand on LinkedIn, each target audience is active at a different time. We'll go into more detail below so you can learn how to find the best posting times for your LinkedIn audience.

Is There a Best Day and Time to Post on LinkedIn?

No, there isn't a silver bullet for scheduling LinkedIn content during the week. Don't believe any of the stuff online that claims there is. Why would Tuesday be a better day than Wednesday to post on LinkedIn?

However, are there days and times when you should NOT post because reach and engagement will be lower? Yes, of course.

• 🍸 Fridays after 3:00 PM - by this time of the week, most people are logging off for the weekends and turning all things work-related off. LinkedIn starts getting a ghost town so the chances people see your content in the following hours is much lower.
• 🎳 Weekends - as LinkedIn is a work-focused social platform, weekends see the lowest levels of activity so it's unlikely you'll get the best out of content on these days.

On the weekends, what people usually do is plan their week and schedule their LinkedIn posts in advance with tools like Typefullylunchtime. This makes sure they go out at the best times during the week without you having to worry about it.

Best Time to Post on LinkedIn on Monday

Wednesday, being the middle of the workweek, is another strong day for LinkedIn reach and engagement. Professionals are typically in full work mode and may be more likely to engage with industry-related content (especially the ones using LinkedIn as a work tool).

Thursday maintains the strong reach and engagement trends seen earlier in the week, making it another excellent day for sharing content on LinkedIn.

Remember that these times are general guidelines based on aggregated data. The best time to post on LinkedIn for your specific audience may vary, which brings us to our next section.

How to Find the Best Time to Post on LinkedIn for Your Audience

Well, to be honest, there is only one right answer to this: you need to test a lot of time slots, publish multiple posts, and collect a significant amount of data to properly understand how your audience uses LinkedIn. An easy way to schedule your posts in a consistent way is to use a tool like Typefully.

However, you can be smart about it instead of starting from scratch. Just think about these three questions:

• Who is your target audience? Be specific about job role and title.
• What does their day look like? You need to know what they do and when.
• When are they more likely to be on LinkedIn?

Each audience spends their time on LinkedIn differently. For example, marketers, recruiters, and salespeople are probably on it from 9 to 5. However, product managers and CEOs are more likely to only check it during breaks. Knowing who you are trying to reach and what the day-to-day looks like is crucial to help you find the best time to post on LinkedIn.

Once you get a feeling for that, follow these steps to further optimize posting times for your LinkedIn content:

1. Analyze your LinkedIn analytics: pay attention to when your followers are most active and what publishing days and times receive the highest reach and engagement.
2. Experiment with different posting times: try publishing content at various times throughout the week and track the performance of each post. This will help you identify patterns specific to your audience.
3. Use social media management tools: platforms like Typefully let you schedule multiple posts in advance and look back into your content calendar to see on/at what days/times they were published.
4. Consider your target audience's time zone: if you're targeting a global audience, be mindful of different time zones and make sure you are reaching everyone at an optimal time.

Things to Consider When Scheduling LinkedIn Content

Determining the best time to post on LinkedIn depends on multiple things but these three elements are key:

1) Content Type and Purpose

The type of content you're sharing and its intended purpose can influence the optimal posting time. Consider the following:

• Thought leadership posts: these tend to perform well during business hours when professionals are looking for industry insights.
• Job postings: early morning or late afternoon on weekdays can be effective, as people may be job searching before or after work.
• Company news: mid-week mornings often work well for important announcements.
• Personal content: performs better during lunch hours or towards the end of the workday when people are looking for a mental break.

If you're short on content ideas, Typefully offers a personalized content ideas and writing prompts library to help you get inspiration and start writing authentic content.

2) Posting Frequency and Consistency

While timing is crucial, the frequency and consistency of your posts play an even bigger role in your LinkedIn success. Consider these points:

• Aim for a consistent posting time so people get used to seeing your content always around the same time of the day.
• Go for quality over quantity but don't go below 2 posts per week in order not to lose traction and familiarity.
• Experiment with different posting frequencies to find the sweet spot for your audience.
• Schedule your posts for LinkedIn with a tool like Typefully so you make sure you are still posting even during busy periods.

3) Dealing with Timezones

Trying to reach a worldwide audience with your content makes it harder to find the best times to post on LinkedIn because you'll never be able to reach everyone at the best time.

If you can find the majority of your audience is in a particular timezone, considering using that timezone as a reference since you'll get more reach and engagement vs trying to reach everyone at the same time.

Conclusion

At the end of the day, while there is data available on the best times to post on LinkedIn, you should always experiment with your own audience to see what works best.

To recap the key points:

1. The best times to post on LinkedIn generally fall between 9:00 AM and 12:00 PM on weekdays.
2. Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday tend to be the best days to post on LinkedIn.
3. Each day of the week has specific time slots that tend to perform better for LinkedIn reach and engagement.
4. Analyze your own audience's behavior to determine the best posting times for your specific situation.
5. Consider factors such as content type, posting frequency and timezones when scheduling your LinkedIn content.

Remember that the LinkedIn algorithm and user behavior are constantly evolving, so it's important to regularly review and adjust your posting times. So make sure you use a tool like Typefully to schedule your content and test your LinkedIn posting times constantly.

Why Search for Old Tweets?

There are numerous reasons why you might want to look up old tweets:

1. Content Research: find old tweets related to specific topics.
2. Personal Archives: view your own old tweets for memories or content repurposing.
3. Profile Cleanup: locate and delete outdated or inappropriate tweets.
4. Fact-Checking: look at old tweets to verify information or statements.

Whatever your reason, let's explore the most effective methods to search and find old tweets.

Three Powerful Methods to Find Old Tweets

While there are several ways to search for old tweets, we'll focus on the three most efficient methods:

1. Twitter's Advanced Search
2. Ask Twitter for Your Records
3. Use Wayback Machine

Let's dive into each method and learn how to become an expert old tweet finder.

1) Using X/Twitter's Advanced Search to Find Old Tweets

X/Twitter's Advanced Search is a hidden gem for those looking to search old tweets.

We wrote a very comprehensive guide on it but it essentially can be used in two ways:

1) By going to https://twitter.com/search-advanced.

2) By using search operators directly on the search bar.

You can combine filters from words, accounts, engagement, and date ranges to narrow down your search and find the exact old tweets you're looking for.

2) Ask X (Twitter) to View Old Tweets

On X (Twitter), you can request a copy of your records and data which include all your old tweets, likes, follows, and other data associated with your account.

To find old tweets this way, on the sidebar, click on "More" and go to the “Settings and Privacy”.

Then click on “Your Account” and then on "Download an archive of your data". X (Twitter) will ask you for your password and then it sends you a link to download all your records, including old tweets.

3) Use Wayback Machine to see your Twitter history

Wayback Machine is a web archiving tool from Internet Archive you can use to search old tweets. Simply enter the Twitter profile URL you want to find old tweets of and the tool will show you all the data related to it that has been archived.

The downside of this method is that it will likely not have a lot of data saved from your own profile as it might not be among the most popular pages on the internet.

How to Find Your Own Old Tweets

To search your own X (Twitter) history and view old tweets, our recommendation is to use X/Twitter's Advanced Search:

In this post, we'll show you how to use X (Twitter) Advanced Search and share with you the ultimate cheatsheet with all the filters and tricks you can use.

How to Access X (Twitter) Advanced Search

If you're using X (Twitter) web app, the simplest way is to access either https://x.com/search-advanced or https://twitter.com/search-advanced.

After you open one of these links, you'll see the X (Twitter) Advanced Search pop-up window which allows you to use a variety of filters explained below.

When using X (Twitter) mobile app, you'll have to use https://mobile.twitter.com/search-advanced on your phone’s web browser. The advanced Twitter search tool pop-up is not available on the mobile app.

Using X (Twitter) Advanced Search Tool

X (Twitter) Advanced Search pop-up is quite extensive but very easy to use. As the powerful search engine it is, it lets you use multiple search filters to make sure you narrow down your search to what you're looking for on X (Twitter).

Searching for specific keywords

• All of these words - you can type the specific words you're looking for and you'll find tweets containing all of them. For multiple words/phrases, make sure to use quotations to separate them.
• This exact phrase: useful when you want to find tweets that have that exact sentence. It's recommended to search for just one phrase in here (e.g. happy hour - contains the exact phrase “happy hour”).
• Any of these words: this is a variation of the first filter, allowing you to search for multiple words and find tweets that contain at least one of them.
• None of these words: use this one to exclude the tweets that contain specific words or phrases you don't want to search for.
• These hashtags: this is helpful to find tweets with specific hashtags like #Typefully, for example.
• Language: this is a great filter to only find tweets in a specific language. Choose from Arabic to Greek, English, Hindi, etc.

Searching for specific accounts

• From these accounts: this filter displays tweets exclusively from the accounts you select. (e.g. posts authored by "@Typefully")
• To these accounts: This shows tweets that are direct responses to a particular account. (e.g. replies directed at "@Typefully")
• Mentioning these accounts: Use this field to view tweets that reference a specific account within their content. (e.g. tweets containing "@Typefully")

Searching for replies and links

• Replies: choose if you want to include replies and original posts in the search results, only replies, or exclude replies altogether by turning off the toggle.

If you find a reply and want to unroll the whole thread, use one of these thread reader apps.

• Links: choose if you want to include tweets containing links and/or search only for posts with links.

Searching by engagement metrics

• Minimum replies: select a minimum number of replies you want the posts you are searching for to have (e.g. posts with at least 280 replies)
• Minimum likes: select a minimum number of likes you want the posts you are searching for to have (e.g. posts with at least 100 likes)
• Minimum reposts: select a minimum number of reposts you want the posts you are searching for to have (e.g. posts with at least 2,000 reposts)

Searching by the date a post was shared

From this date to this date: this is very useful when you are not sure when a tweet was posted but you know it was between specific dates. This is a very easy way to find old tweets that were posted during a marketing campaign, a community challenge, etc.

Using X (Twitter) Advanced Search Operators

In addition to the Advanced Search pop-up window tool, you can use search operators directly in X (Twitter) search bar both on the web app and mobile app.

These work similarly to Google search filters and you can type in what you're looking for using simple commands:

• from:[screen name] - searches only for posts from the specific account you type after the ":"

Example: "from:typefully" will only show posts posted by the account @typefully

• url:[https://...] - searches only for posts that contain the URL you specify or a URL that contains a keyword in it.

Example: "url:typefully" will show you posts with urls containing the word "typefully".

• filter:media - searches only posts that have media attached (images, videos).
• filter:links - searches only posts that contain URLs in them.
• filter:replies - searches only for replies to posts and not original posts.

To search for posts without certain elements, simply add "-" before "filter".

• -filter:media - searches for posts without media attached.
• -filter:links - searches for posts without URLs in them.
• -filter:replies - searches for posts that are not replies.

To include a publication date range, simply use:

• since:YYYY-MM-DD - only posts published since that date (inclusive).
• until:YYYY-MM-DD - only posts published until that date (inclusive).

Here's an example with multiple filters:

"from:typefully advanced search -filter:replies since:2024-03-01"

This combination of filters will search for posts published by @typefully, containing both the words "advanced" and "search", that are not replies, posted after the 1st March 2024.

X (Twitter) Advanced Search Operators Table

X (Twitter) makes available the following table for all its advanced search operators and respective expected results:

10 Cool Use Cases for X (Twitter) Advanced Search

1) Find the most popular tweets

Whenever you use Twitter's search bar, you'll be able to select the "Top" tab in order to see the most popular tweets about the topic you're searching for. If, for instance, you're looking for the most recent tweets, simply switch to "Latest".

2) Find the most viewed tweets

Views on X (Twitter) are directly correlated to the number of times a tweet was reshared as it increases the number of people who see it. A cool trick to find the most viewed tweets about a particular topic is to use the "Minimum reposts" filters in the Advanced Search window or the search operator "min_retweets:___".

As a rule of thumb, any tweet reshared more than 2,000 times is a very viral tweet among the most viewed.

3) Find the most liked tweets

The same trick we use above for finding the most viewed tweets can also be used to find the most liked tweets. You can either use the "Minimum likes" filters in the Advanced Search window or the search operator "min_faves:___".

As a rule of thumb, any tweet liked more than 50,000 times is among the most liked about that topic.

4) Find interactions with other accounts

When you're specifically looking for tweets exchanges between two accounts, you can use the “From these accounts” and “To these accounts” filters or the operators "from:____" and "to:_____".

Here's an example to see the tweets the Typefully's account has sent to one of its co-founders Fabrizio: "from:typefully to:linuz90"

5) Search tweets from a specific user

This one is fairly easy as all you have to do is use the search operator "from:" and type the user's handle in front of it.

Here are some examples to find tweets from a specific Twitter user:

• All tweets from Elon Musk: from:elonmusk
• All tweets from Donald Trump: from:realDonaldTrump

All tweets from Mr. Beast: from:MrBeast

6) Search tweets by date

Say you want to find all tweets mentioning your brand during a specific marketing campaign so you can measure its reach and engagement. How do you do it?

Simply use the commands "since:" and "until:" and enter your specific date range in the YYYY-MM-DD format. Here's an example to search tweets by date mentioning Typefully between the 1st March 2024 and the 1st April 2024:

7) Monitor your competitor's sentiment

Twitter Advanced Search lets you monitor sentiment about your own brand as well as your competitors'. All you have to do is to combine the brand name and a sentiment keyword such as a sad smile emoji. Here are some examples:

• "[brand name] stopped using"
• "[brand name] not happy anymore"
• "[brand name] bad service"
• "[brand name] :("

8) Find videos and images about a specific topic

If you're trying to find videos or images about a trending or popular topic on X (Twitter), you can either use X Advanced Search or the search bar and then select the "Media" tab.

9) Search for what people usually say

To be successful at social media and marketing in general, you need to know your customers and be on top of what they are saying online.

With Twitter Search, you can combine specific sentences people use such as "How do I...?" or "What do you recommend...?" and specific keywords.

For example, if you want to know what social media scheduling tool people are recommending, use:

• "What do people use" social media
• "Any advice on" scheduling posts

You'll probably find the best answer is Typefully but we are biased 😄

10) Find customers asking for support

X (Twitter) and social in general are now being more and more used as a support channels as people often ask their questions there in the hope the community can help.

To stay on top of your own customers, you can find all tweets mentioning your brand and keywords like "I need help", "how do you". These tweets might not tag your brand directly but you'll still be able to find them and help people.

Let's explore why Typefully outperforms Hootsuite in several key areas.

The Best Hootsuite Alternative For Small Businesses and Creators

Before diving into Hootsuite’s core features, let’s take a look at how it compares to Typefully on a high-level so you can consider it an alternative:

• Hootsuite is one of the largest social media management tools with more than 18 million users dedicated to social media post scheduling, social media monitoring, performance reporting, and task management. It's a highly complex tool when compared to Typefully's simple and clean content writing editor and scheduler.
• Hootsuite focuses on offering everything to everyone supporting 8 different social media platforms including Facebook and Pinterest. Typefully is focused on founders, content creators and businesses who want to grow their brands on X (Twitter), LinkedIn, and Threads authentically.
• With more feature and platforms supported comes more complexity and a crowded user interface when using Hootsuite. In alternative, Typefully is a more elegant and cleaner tool anyone can pick up on their own in seconds.
• Hootsuite has no free plan and their cheapest plan starts at $99/month going up to $249/month for teams (3 users) and higher for enterprise. On the other hand, Typefully offers both a free plan and a 14-days free trial, and their cheapest plan starts at $12.50/month.
• Both Hootsuite and Typefully offer engagement features but it's unclear from their website what functionally Hootsuite actually has. Typefully provides you with features like auto-RT, auto-plug for commenting on your own post and auto-DMs.

Those are the main differences between Hootsuite and Typefully. They both have similar functions, but Hootsuite is a lot more expensive tool with a wider and more complex range of features, focusing on multiple platforms.

On the other hand, Typefully is built around minimalism and simplicity. It’s easy for everyday use and helps you create the best content you can, with an AI writing assistant specifically trained on social media content writing.

Scheduling Tweets with Typefully vs Scheduling Tweets Natively on X/Twitter

While X/Twitter's native scheduler is convenient if you like writing directly on the app, a Twitter scheduling tool like Typefully offers more features and less distractions.

Distraction-free writing

Have you ever opened X/Twitter to write a tweet and got lost because something interesting appeared in your feed? Yeah, we know the feeling. With Typefully, you're safe from those as the editor is a beautiful and clean space for you to create and schedule your tweets.

Schedule tweets in a simple way

Trying to schedule a tweet on X/Twitter directly can be a cumbersome experience for some people since you need to be familiar with the platform's interface. When using Typefully, all you have to do is click on the big orange "Schedule" button, type in your date and time and you're done!

Schedule tweets for the best times

X/Twitter's native scheduler doesn't give you any indication on what are the best times based on your past posts. With Typefully, you can at which times your posts get the most engagement and choose them when scheduling your tweets.

Multiple accounts scheduling

Using X/Twitter's native scheduler doesn't let you schedule tweets for multiple accounts without having to switch accounts, confirm you want to switch and then create and schedule the tweets individually With Typefully, you manage multiple accounts and switch between them with a simple click.

Collaborate with a team

On X/Twitter directly, there is no way to send your tweets to a colleague or a friend for review before you schedule them. Also, you can't show other people what tweets you have scheduled and how an account's content calendar looks like. With Typefully, you can invite team members, comment on each other's drafts and check out the calendar of scheduled tweets for the account you work on together.

Here's a revised version optimized for the keywords related to tweet scheduling:

Best Practices for Scheduling Tweets

1) Keep a regular Twitter posting schedule

4) Leverage a content calendar

To effectively schedule posts on Twitter, use a content calendar. This helps you plan campaigns, maintain consistency, and ensure you're covering all important topics, events, and announcements

5) Don't forget to engage

While it's great to know how to schedule a tweet, remember that Twitter is about real-time conversation and authentic engagement. Schedule your tweets but don't forget about them when they go out.

What is Twitter called now?

Twitter is now called X. Twitter's transformation into "X" marked a significant shift in the social media platform's identity and vision. This change, spearheaded by Elon Musk following his $44 billion acquisition in 2022, aims to evolve Twitter into an "everything app” called X.

When did Twitter become X?

On July 23, 2022, the iconic blue bird logo of Twitter was replaced with a stylized new "X," signaling a complete rebranding of the platform. The Twitter name was removed from websites, apps, and even the company's headquarters. Now, X.com redirects to twitter.com, further cementing this transition.

At the time, Musk himself shared an image of the new X logo illuminated on Twitter's San Francisco headquarters, symbolizing the dawn of this new era for the platform.

Elon’s goal with the acquisition is to turn Twitter into an “everything app” called X, which will follow a similar path to apps like WeChat in China. These platforms offer everything one needs to do with an app, from social networking, messaging, broadcasting, banking, shopping, ordering a ride, booking a hotel, etc.

Why is Twitter now X?

Elon Musk's vision for Twitter extends far beyond its original purpose as a microblogging platform. The rebranding of Twitter to X reflects his ambition to transform the social network into a comprehensive everything app.

Musk acquired Twitter with X Corp with the explicit goal of using it as a catalyst for this broader vision. The evolution from Twitter to X signifies a shift from its roots in short-form messaging to a multifaceted platform. With this shift, competitors like Bluesky and Threads jumped at the opportunity to attract some of the unhappy users who did not like the changes introduced.

As Musk explained, "Twitter's name made sense when it was just 140-character, messages going back and forth - like birds tweeting - but now you can post almost anything, including several hours of video."

The rebranding aligns with plans to integrate diverse functionalities such as banking, e-commerce, extended video capabilities, and enhanced messaging features. This expansion renders the Twitter name and its iconic bird logo obsolete in the context of X and the platform's new direction.

How is X different from Twitter?

X is different from Twitter because while Twitter has mostly been a free social media site for short-form content and real-time news updates, X will expand into functionalities like banking, shopping, video broadcasting, and more.

Twitter - social media networking platform

X - the comprehensive everything app

In the words of Twitter’s (now X) CEO Linda Yaccarino: “X will be the platform that can deliver everything.”

The ambitious plan for X includes integrating a wide array of services such as messaging, banking, e-commerce, and more. Yaccarino describes X as an AI-driven platform that will combine "audio, video, messaging, payments/banking," creating a "global marketplace for ideas, goods, services, and opportunities."

This transformation marks a significant departure from Twitter's original focus, positioning X as a multifaceted digital ecosystem rather than just a social media platform.

How are users and competitors reacting to the changes

Some of the hardcore early Twitter users disliked the change of name and vision and have been exploring new alternatives that have popped up in the meantime. Some have explored moving to Bluesky, while others, already with Instagram accounts, have started publishing more often on Threads.

With old Twitter now dead and X taking over as the "everything app", it's important to reflect on which platforms you and your business should be on, according to your target audience and where they are/are moving to.

Use Typefully to write and schedule your tweets in advance.

Twitter may be called X now but that doesn’t mean content stopped being king.

To maximize your reach there, check the best times to post on X (Twitter).

The top 5 key metrics to track on X (Twitter)

1. Impressions per month

Impressions refer to the number of times your X/Twitter post has appeared on a user’s timeline. Your tweet's impressions are counted when it's shown to your followers, as well as when it appears in search results or when it's retweeted.

Tracking monthly impressions is a good way to know how well your content is performing in terms of reach. Getting more impressions each month is good as it means you’re reaching more people.

You can find this number in your X/Twitter analytics overview page by selecting “28D” (last 28 days” or a custom date range on the left of it.

2. Engagement rate

The engagement rate of your content refers to the percentage of people who saw it and took action on it (liked it, commented, reposted, bookmarked, etc). It’s a good indicator of how good and valuable your content is and a good way to know if it has a good fit with your audience.

You can also find it as one of the key metrics on the overview tab in your X/Twitter analytics dashboard.

3. Profile visits

Profile visit refers to the number of times your X/Twitter profile has actually been seen by people, once or multiple times. It’s a good indicator of engagement but also of interest generations. The more visits you get, the more interested people are in your content, in knowing who you are, what you do and in following you more closely.

This is also easily available in your X/Twitter analytics dashboard.

4. New followers

Ok, very important metric about your X/Twitter growth. This tells you how many new people have started following in any given period (e.g. last 28 days). It’s a very good indicator of how well you are performing in terms of providing value (people only follow people whose content they like) and in terms of reach (if people don’t hear about you, they can’t follow you).

It’s a key metric to keep an eye on but don’t worry too much about sudden drops as X/Twitter does regular cleanups of bot and spam accounts. The quality of new followers also matter massively.

You can analyze this growth easier in Typefully as illustrated in the charts below.

5. Best performing posts/tweets

If you want to know how your content is performing, you should look at each individual post/tweet and understand which ones are delivering the best on the metrics you’re looking for.

What are the posts that reach the most people? Which ones get more engagement? Which ones convert more people into followers?

Understanding this is critical to find patterns and double down on your best performing content. Fortunately, this is super easy to do in Typefully too (not so much on X/Twitter Analytics native dashboard).

Optimizing The Use of X (Twitter) Analytics Tools

To maximize the benefits of X (Twitter) analytics tools, implement the following best practices:

Regularly analyze your performance

While X/Twitter analytics tools streamline data collection and visualization, it’s still up to you to do the interpretation and analysis. Only you know your content and audience. So make sure sure you conduct monthly reviews to:

• Identify content trends and patterns
• Analyze your audience engagement
• Monitor the growth/decline of key metrics

Keep an eye on what competitors are doing

Don’t copy exactly what they are doing, you don’t know if it’s working. However, it’s important to be aware of your competitors' activities on social media, compare growth metrics and evaluate the performance of your content against theirs.

Diversify your content and try new things

In order to collect valuable data on your X/Twitter analytics, you should be constantly trying different content and publishing it at different times and days. Diversifying what you put out there is the best way to know what works and what doesn’t.

Conclusion

X/Twitter analytics is an indispensable tool for anyone looking to grow their online presence and optimize their social media strategy. By regularly monitoring key metrics such as impressions, engagement rate, profile visits, new followers, and best-performing posts, you can gain valuable insights into your audience's preferences and behavior.

Whether you choose to use X/Twitter's native analytics dashboard or opt for third-party tools like Typefully, the key to success lies in consistent analysis and adaptation of your content strategy.

Remember, the goal isn't just to grow the numbers, but to create meaningful connections with your audience and drive real business results.

• Use proper grammar and spelling in your prompts, and keep your prompts short and to the point. This will help ChatGPT generate more accurate and coherent text.
• Use keywords and hashtags related to your topic. This will help ChatGPT understand the context of your prompt. Hashtags are not required, so this should be based on your own tweeting style and preference.
• Ask ChatGPT to provide ideas based on your topic. This will give you a variety of options to choose from.

• Ask follow-up questions to refine your prompt. This will help ChatGPT generate text that's more specific to your Twitter needs.

If you’re a content creator, founder, or marketer in the tech or web3 business and want to grow your audience with videos, there are a few things you need to know about video formats. In this article from Typefully, we’ll help get you up to speed on the different video formats for Twitter.

What is a video format for twitter?

Twitter has certain requirements content creators need to meet before publishing videos on their platform i.e., the type of video format.

You might see this as a bit of a pain, especially if your video format type doesn’t meet Twitter’s criteria. With that being said, the format really does matter. If your video format isn’t supported by Twitter, you won’t be able to upload it. If you don’t convert your file into a Twitter supported video format properly, you run the risk of turning your masterpiece into a low-quality video affecting engagement rates, clicks and conversions.

Why Do You Need to Know the Different Video Formats for Twitter?

• High-Quality Video - Choosing a file that delivers high-quality videos while making sure it’s compressed is essential to making sure your brand is represented in a professional way.
• Compatibility - Not all video formats are right for Twitter so knowing which ones are will help you avoid running into any restrictions when you hit publish.
• Saves Time - When you come to grips with the different video format types, you’ll know them like the back of your hand saving you precious time in the future.

Technical Requirements to Consider

• Maximum Video File - The maximum length of a Twitter video is limited at 512MB and capped at two minutes and 20 seconds long. You can use a video compressor and a video cutter to meet the stated requirements.
• Maximum Twitter Video Resolution - The minimum requirement for video resolution is 32 x 32 while the maximum is 1920 x 1200. The higher the resolution you aim for in your videos, the better the quality of them resulting in a more positive experience for your audience.
• Aspect Ratios Range - To make sure you’ve got everything in shot and your video stands out on Twitter, it’s better to go bigger. The aspect ratios range from 1:2.39 to 2.39:1.

How to Exceed the Twitter Video Limit

Wondering how to post longer videos on Twitter? Here's how to increase the maximum length of a Twitter video:

Become a Premium User: every Premium tier allows subscribers to upload Twitter videos up to ~3 hours long and up to 8GB file size (1080p) (web and iOS only for now).

Use Twitter's Media Studio - users with advertising accounts can apply for permission to upload videos up to 10 minutes long. To access this:

• Sign up at ads.twitter.com
• Create a new campaign.
• You'll need to provide credit/debit card credentials, but the platform itself is free to use.

What Video Formats Does Twitter Support?

#1: MP4

MP4, also known as MPEG-4 is a multimedia format that compresses video and audio data. It offers high-quality videos that can include still images and subtitles without compromising on quality. You can upload an MP4 formatted video from either a desktop or mobile device.

#2: MOV

Also referred to as the QuickTime Movie file, MOV offers high-definition video and audio and compresses its data in a similar way to MP4. A simple Google search will provide numerous CapCut alternatives that can convert your video files to MOV format.

#3: H.264

H.264’s compression technology allows you to publish high standard videos without sacrificing its quality, which is why it’s the video format of choice for Blu-ray and streaming services like on-demand and live TV.

In these situations, you may be wondering how to get your Twitter account unsuspended. Thankfully, there are methods which can help get your account back, depending on your suspension.

At Typefully, we believe that everyone should be able to use Twitter how they want. That’s why in this article, we’re going to take a look at Twitter suspensions and how to get your account unsuspended. We’re also going to discuss why your account may be suspended in the first place.

Why does Twitter Suspend Accounts?

There are three main reasons why Twitter suspends accounts:

• Spam: If an account is made to spam posts constantly, Twitter will suspend it as these types of accounts are against Twitter rules.
• Account Security At Risk: If Twitter detects malicious activity in regard to account security, it’ll suspend the account to try to stop any security breaches or risks.
• Abusive Tweets Or Behavior: Violations of Twitter rules will often result in temporary or permanent suspension.

Accounts that are suspended due to breaking Twitter rules will often require an appeal to unsuspend, whereas security-breached accounts will require some form of identity verification (acting as a lock).

How to Unsuspend Your Twitter Account

1. When you log into your suspended account, complete any steps that you’re told to do (such as email verification or SMS verification).

(Image Source: https://blog.interactiveschools.com/blog/my-twitter-account-is-suspended-how-to-unlock)

2. If there are no steps to be taken, head over to the Twitter Appeals page logged into the suspended account and fill in the Appeals form.

3. If you have any further unresolved issues with Twitter account access, contact the account access support team on their page.

This is the only process that can help get your account unsuspended. This means that if you’ve been banned for a legitimate reason, there’s no way to unsuspend your account.

If you’ve been temporarily suspended, you’ll just have to wait for the suspension to end to be able to access Twitter. If you’ve been permanently banned, then any attempts to evade the suspension with a new account are in breach of Twitter Rules.

Unleash Your Twitter Potential with Typefully

If you’ve been suspended wrongfully, you can easily get your account unsuspended by appealing to Twitter. Otherwise, there’s nothing you can do except serve your punishment.

But a common question arises: what is the Twitter video length limit?

Twitter videos can be up to 140 seconds long and 512 MB in size.

You can schedule and post Twitter videos from Typefully in order to increase Twitter's maximum potential.

In this article, we’re going to talk about the maximum video length on Twitter and how to increase the Twitter video length limit to 10 minutes. If you want to know more about Twitter video formats, see this article.

Twitter Video Length Limit

If you're wondering, "How long can a Twitter video be?" or "What's the Twitter video size limit?", you're not alone. Let's break it down:

1. Standard Twitter Video Length Limit: for most users, the Twitter video maximum length is 140 seconds (2 minutes and 20 seconds).
2. Twitter Video Size Limit: the maximum file size is 512MB.
3. Technical Specifications:
   • Maximum framerate: 60fps
   • Minimum length: 30 seconds
   • Accepted formats: MP4 or MOV

It's worth noting that Twitter's video limitations, like its character limit, have evolved over time. Below we explain recent changes that allow users to exceed Twitter's video length limit.

How to Exceed the Twitter Video Limit

Wondering how to post longer videos on Twitter? Here's how to increase the maximum length of a Twitter video:

Become a Premium User: every Premium tier allows subscribers to upload Twitter videos up to ~3 hours long and up to 8GB file size (1080p) (web and iOS only for now).

Use Twitter's Media Studio - users with advertising accounts can apply for permission to upload videos up to 10 minutes long. To access this:

• Sign up at ads.twitter.com
• Create a new campaign.
• You'll need to provide credit/debit card credentials, but the platform itself is free to use.

The Future of Twitter Video Length

With recent changes in Twitter's ownership, Twitter's video length limit was increased to 3 hours for Premium subscribers as Elon Musk continues positioning the platform as a YouTube and TikTok competitor.

The platform has been incentivizing famous creators like MrBeast and MKBHD to post their long videos directly on Twitter. They are allowed to exceed Twitter video length limit because they are both Premium subscribers and do get paid in return via the platform's own monetization features (just like YouTube does).

Maximizing Your Twitter Video Strategy

While understanding "How long can Twitter videos be?" is important, it's equally crucial to create engaging content within these limits. Here are some tips:

1. Optimize for Mobile: most Twitter users access the platform via mobile devices. Ensure your videos are mobile-friendly.
2. Front-load Important Content: given the Twitter video length limit, put your key message at the beginning of your video.
3. Use Captions: many users watch videos without sound. Adding captions can increase engagement and accessibility.
4. Leverage Twitter Threads: ff you need more than the Twitter video maximum length, consider breaking your content into a series of shorter videos within a thread and publish it with Typefully.

Conclusion

Understanding the Twitter video length limit is crucial for content creators and marketers. While the standard limit is 140 seconds, Twitter's Media Studio accounts can post up to 10-minute-long videos and Premium subscribers up to 3 hours long.

Regardless of how long Twitter videos can be, the key to success is creating engaging, valuable content that resonates with your audience. By mastering Twitter's video capabilities within the current limits, you'll be well-positioned to adapt to any future changes in the Twitter video size limit or length restrictions.

Want to take your Twitter game to the next level? Typefully is a beautiful content creation and social media scheduling tool that helps you elevate your Twitter’s quality and consistency.

Our Tweet Scheduler lets you queue tweets to be sent out without you having to worry about sending them regularly. Paired with our detailed and helpful analytics tool, you can ensure that your tweets perform as well as possible.

One of the most important metrics to track is impressions. It gives you a rough idea of how many people have seen your tweets. Combining that with other metrics like interactions can reveal your content reach.

At Typefully, we believe that every brand should be deriving insights from Twitter analytics. That’s why we’ve developed an analytics platform that provides you with deeper insights than Twitter’s own dashboard.

In this article, we’ll introduce you to Twitter impressions, discuss why they’re important and give you some tips on how to improve them. Let’s go!

What are Twitter Impressions?

Impressions refer to the number of times your tweet has appeared on a user’s timeline.

Your tweet's impressions are counted when it's shown to your followers, as well as when it appears in search results or when it's retweeted.

If your tweet has been shown to 1,000 users, you would have 1,000 impressions.

Note: impressions only count the number of times your tweet has been delivered to a user’s timeline.

It doesn’t track how many people have read your tweet. Impressions analytics makes no distinction between a user who interacts with your tweet and someone who’s just scrolled past it.

Interactions are measured as engagements, which include the total number of clicks, likes and retweets.

Why should you track Twitter impressions?

Impressions tell you how far your tweet has gone. For organic content, impressions give you a rough estimate of how successful your tweet was in breaking into users’ timelines. An uptick in impressions can be an indication that Twitter's discovery algorithm likes your content.

If you’ve paid to promote your tweet, impressions can be used alongside profile visits or engagements to estimate the cost-effectiveness of your campaign. Impressions can also be used to find out your engagement rate. This roughly tells you how much your viewers are enjoying your tweets.

For example, a low engagement rate means your followers are seeing your tweets, but aren’t interacting with them.

Typefully’s analytics dashboard calculates your engagement rate for you. It even tracks how this changes over time. This helps you gauge whether changes to your content strategy are compelling users to interact with your tweets.

Want to explore engagements further? Read our complete guide on the topic here.

How do you track Twitter Impressions?

There are two main ways to count your tweets’ impressions. You can either use Twitter’s built-in analytics dashboard or a third-party analytics tool like Typefully.

Let’s walk you through how to find out your impressions using both methods.

Using Twitter Analytics

Twitter has some built-in analytics tools for creators and brands. Remember, Twitter Analytics isn’t enabled by default.

To get started, firstly make sure you’re signed in to your chosen account on twitter.com. Then, head over to analytics.twitter.com.

Click “Turn analytics on” to enable analytics.

Your dashboard gives you some useful information about your popular tweets.

Here, we can see your Tweet impressions over the last 28 days.

To get a closer look, hit Tweets in the top toolbar.

Here, we can see how your impressions have changed over the observation period and how each individual tweet has performed.

By default, you’ll be shown impressions over a 28-day period. Just hit the calendar button at the top to change this time period.

But Twitter Analytics can only show data from a three-month period. You can’t, for example, gain a simple overview of your top tweets for the whole year.

There are other limitations to Twitter’s Analytics tool. In fact, the tool has been fairly neglected by Twitter and has fallen behind third-party tools that use the Twitter API.

You can’t see how your impressions or engagement rates change within a day. Twitter has even removed their conversion tracking feature entirely.

Using Typefully

That’s why we recommend using a third-party tool to track your analytics. Typefully connects through Twitter’s API to securely pull your impressions and engagement data.

Getting started is simple! Head to typefully.com and sign up with Twitter.

Then, navigate to the Grow tab to see your Twitter impressions data.

You can get a basic overview of your impressions over a set time period. Unlike Twitter’s tool, you can make this period as long as you like.

This allows you to track how impressions change throughout the year. Do your impressions spike during the holiday season? Or are your readers more active in the summer months?

Scroll down the Grow page to see how your individual tweets stack up.

What else can you do with Typefully’s analytics dashboard? Our best time to tweet feature maps out how engagement changes throughout the day.

Finally, you can see how your profile conversions change over time.

Best Practices for Boosting Twitter Impressions

Now that we’ve covered how to track your Twitter impressions and why it’s important to track them, how can you increase them?

Here are some of our top tips for boosting your tweet impressions:

Follow a consistent schedule & post regularly

This may seem obvious but to get people to see your tweets, you’ll need to tweet regularly. We’d recommend going further by following a tight schedule and posting at specific times of the day to maximize your reach.

There are two main reasons for this:

• Twitter’s algorithm favors brands and accounts that tweet consistently and regularly. If your schedule is sparse and erratic, Twitter may be unwilling to recommend your content to new viewers.
• Followers expect regular, useful tweets. If you don’t tweet regularly, or don’t follow a clear schedule, they may unfollow you.

Certain times of the day often garner better results. For example, tweeting at noon can ensure your tweet is ready for when your followers get off work. Posting at 2 am will likely provide unfavorable results.

Of course, the best time to tweet varies depending on your audience and type of content. Using our engagement during the day tracker can help you find the best time slots for releasing content on Twitter.

You can then easily schedule your tweets based on this information. ​​

For example, Amtrak regularly schedules their tweets to release at noon.

Want to find out why? Check out our full guide on the best time to tweet here.

Consider collaborating with influencers and other brands

To demonstrate the effectiveness of partnering with other accounts, let’s introduce you to a metric called potential reach.

This refers to the total number of accounts it’s possible for your tweets to reach.

The potential reach of an account that doesn’t partner with others or get any retweets would be limited to its follower count.

Let’s say your account of 1M followers partners with an influencer with 2M followers. If this influencer retweets your content, your basic potential reach will now be 3M. It’s as simple as that!

For example, as part of his brand deal with Nike, footballer Cristiano Ronaldo regularly retweets any content mentioning his CR7 line of products.

We recommend finding an influencer or partner brand within your niche. You can find creators to collaborate with through influencer directories like Collabstr.

Pick the right Twitter topics

A key way that accounts may discover your content is through topics.

Whilst very few readers scroll through topic pages, using relevant tags can help guide who Twitter should recommend your content to. We recommend using competitor research to find interesting new topics to target. Find out what’s currently popular by using Twitter’s trending tabs or use an SEO keyword tool like Ahrefs to find interesting new search queries.

How do you target these trending topics? In general, you’ll just need to mention the main keyword in your tweet in order to appear on the topic feed.

If your topic or even a hashtag gains enough traction, it may appear in the Trending tab. This is a great way to attract a new audience to your account.

Write engaging threads/tweetstorms

Using Twitter’s threads feature is a great way to boost impressions, and more importantly conversions.

Threads refer to multiple tweets that are grouped together on profiles and timelines. They allow brands and creators to delve into topics in more detail.

How do threads impact impressions?

TweepsMap found that threads can increase your impressions by up to 2,417%! Twitter sees threads as more valuable content, and readers tend to engage with these more.

In that same experiment, TweepsMap saw a 160% boost in engagements.

Writing and publishing threads can be difficult without a good thread creator and scheduler. Typefully makes it easy to write engaging threads, and publish them when needed.

Use the icons to manually add images and quotes to your thread sections, or drag and drop them.

Typefully keeps track of your message characters to ensure you're within the limit and will split them into constituent tweets for you.

You can then publish threads in pre-set time slots or use Typefully’s analytics to find the best time to post.

The secret to great impressions and engagement is using data-driven insights to guide your Twitter marketing strategy.

Typefully’s Grow tab gives you all the data and metrics you need to write better-performing tweets.

All-in-one Twitter promotion tools like TweetHunter are excellent for unleashing Twitter’s maximum power. They unlock Twitter’s marketing potential for you and help grow your online presence and brand with ease.

But is TweetHunter the best tool for this? At Typefully, we believe that with so many options available nowadays, everyone should have the information to decide which service is best for them.

In this review, we’ll go over Tweet Hunter’s core features, so you can decide whether it’s a good fit for your business. And if Tweet Hunter isn’t for you, we’ve got the perfect alternative in Typefully, which we’ll also discuss.

TweetHunter vs Typefully

Before diving into TweetHunter’s core features, let’s take a look at the key ways it matches up to Typefully.

• Tweet Hunter is a Twitter ‘content manager’ that specializes in AI-generated tweets but lacks the ability to write quality, authentic-sounding tweets. However, Typefully is built to enable your creativity and especially help you write killer threads.
• TweetHunter’s analytics page is much more basic, whereas Typefully has a more elegant analytics display — with graphs and other useful features to help you track engagement.
• Both Tweet Hunter and Typefully have the ability to schedule tweets, but Tweet Hunter can be more complex and difficult to use. Typefully on the other hand offers a far more intuitive and cleaner display that can be helpful to both new and experienced tweeters alike.

Those are the main differences between TweetHunter and Typefully. They both have similar functions, but Tweet Hunter is often complex and its unique features are often superficial to the needs of most people.

On the other hand, Typefully is built around minimalism and simplicity. It’s easy for everyday use and helps you create the best threads and tweets you can, with and AI writing assistant specifically trained on social media content writing.

Feature-by-feature Comparison

What is Tweet Hunter?

Tweet Hunter is an AI-powered tool designed to be an all-in-one marketing and promotional kit for Twitter.

With it, you can:

• Create and schedule tweets.
• Use AI to generate tweets and idea prompts.
• Track your analytics to ensure that your page is growing successfully.

This helps you tweet regularly, grow your audience and widen your reach. TweetHunter approaches tweet scheduling with a unique angle — using Artificial Intelligence to help creators and brands write tweets.

TweetHunter’s Key Features

Tweet Hunter is packed to the brim with features. With such a complex user interface and so many features presented to you, it can be hard to see what it actually does. Let’s take a look at what it has to offer.

TweetHunter has a library of AI-generated tweets that you can use. These tweets are designed to go viral and create engagement.

You can alter this to fit your profile and personality, or use AI to rewrite the tweet originally.

Just type in a keyword or @handle to find some suggestions and tweet templates. With Tweet Hunter, you can rewrite tweets with AI and even predict your tweet's performance before it's published.

While AI-powered writing is a neat feature, we’re not quite sure whether most Twitter creators may benefit from this. Tweet suggestions are a great jumping off point, but we find that AI-written tweets tend to have a strange tone, and are easily recognizable as ‘bot’ content.

Similarly, Tweet Hunter’s pre-made tweets are useful. But most accounts should be writing their own content to ensure a consistent, engaging brand voice.

Tweet Scheduling

Set your tweets and threads to be posted when you want them to. Schedule your content weeks in advance through an "add to queue" system.

With Tweet Hunter, you can pre-write your tweet threads and release them when ready. By doing so, you ensure you are releasing content consistently.

The UI for this tweet queue is fairly intuitive. You can see all the tweets in your queue at any time, and adjust them when needed.

Automation

TweetHunter is full of automation tools such as auto-retweeting and auto-DMs. Send DMs to people when they interact with your tweets.

This feature is particularly helpful for when you’re distributing free resources like cheat sheets or guides. You can simply release a tweet asking for followers to reply to your post, and Tweet Hunter will automatically send those accounts a DM.

Other automation tools include:

• Auto retweet
• Auto plug
• Evergreen

Analytics

TweetHunter has an analytics tool that provides data on your tweets’ performance.

This tool gives you an overview of your most popular tweets, and how well your overall Twitter marketing strategy is performing.

It tracks:

• Impressions
• Engagement
• Daily follower growth
• Profile visits

You can even use Artificial Intelligence to help boost your profile visits and engagements with a click of a button. However, we’ve found this isn’t the magical wand it promises to be in practice.

Tweet Hunter's Pricing

Tweet Hunter is quite expensive. With a tiered pricing structure, the cheapest option is $49/month — and prices can go up to $99/month.

While it can be pricey, it does offer a free-trial, so you can figure out if it's a good fit for you. An important point to note is that the A.I features are only available on their most expensive plan, which might be disappointing for those subscribing to the cheaper plan with this feature in mind.

Pros and Cons

Pros

• Tweet Hunter helps you create more engaging tweets.
• The AI features offered by TweetHunter are powerful and unique
• You can mass schedule hundreds of tweets.

Cons

• Tweet Hunter is expensive. Its functionality is similar to alternatives - other than its AI features.
• TweetHunter’s user interface is challenging to use and designed to only really benefit those using its AI.
• Relying heavily on Tweet Hunter’s AI approach may not be the best way to organically grow your audience for those who value authentic connections.

The Best TweetHunter Alternative is Typefully

Tweet Hunter is a great all-in-one Twitter marketing tool. But for those brands and creators who aren’t too interested in its AI capabilities, it’s pretty expensive for what you get.

Fortunately, we have a perfect alternative!

Typefully is a thread creator, scheduler and Twitter marketing suite that’s designed to help you write better tweets and grow your audience.

It’s a simple but effective tool for streamlining the way you create content on Twitter.

How does Typefully compare to Tweet Hunter? Here are some of Typefully's best features:

Great Thread Editor with Mobile Preview

Twitter threads groups of tweets that appear together in a user’s timeline.

By grouping your tweets together, you can tell longer stories, offer more detail and convince customers more effectively. Buffer found that threads enjoy 54% higher engagement than singular tweets.

Typefully’s thread editor helps you create engaging threads in minutes. This visual editor gives you a useful preview, so you can see how your thread will look upon posting.

Typefully will keep track of your tweets characters and split them up into individual tweets for you.

Tweet Scheduling Based on Suggested Slots

Typefully’s tweet scheduling tools are both easier to use and more powerful than Tweet Hunter’s approach. It allows you to pick slots to schedule your tweets based on the best time to engage your audience.

You can schedule your threads after you've written them by hitting the schedule button. The scheduled time can either be picked manually or you can leave it to Typefully's algorithm to find the best time for you based on your engagement data.

Thread Prompt & Ideas Generator

Instead of relying on an AI-writing tool, Typefully prefers you use your creativity and unique brand voice to create new ideas.

Get fresh prompts and ideas whenever you write. You’ll even be shown some examples of popular tweets.

These idea prompts are kept in a searchable database. Need some new ideas? Simply pick your intent category and you’ll be presented with some fresh ideas to spur your imagination.

Typefully’s Pricing

The free tier allows you to write threads using Typefully’s beautiful editor and even add images. The Starter plan - for only $8 a month - unlocks scheduling, videos, analytics and more!

If you have more than 1 account, you should opt for the Creator plan. This allows you to connect 5 accounts at a time for $19 a month. Finally, if you work in a team, the Team plan - unlocking collaboration - will set you back $39 a month.

Master Brand Building on Twitter With Typefully

Tweet Hunter offers a lot of features and a decent service at a very steep price. If you aren’t convinced by its AI writer, why not try an alternative?

Rather than creating AI content that feels cold and fails to nurture your profile’s growth, Typefully instead gives you the tools to make great threads and content to attract people to your profile.

Its brilliant thread editor, great scheduling tools and awesome collaboration system make Twitter marketing a breeze! So, why not supercharge your Twitter?

How do you write, visualize and schedule tweets? The secret to getting Twitter threads right is using a thread creator. Chirr App is one of the most popular options.

But is Chirr App the best tool for writing and scheduling threads on Twitter? In this review, Typefully will cover the main features of Chirr App and why Twitter marketers are abandoning this product. We’ll also introduce you to a great Chirr App alternative.

Let’s go!

Chirr App vs Typefully

Before we cover Chirr Apps’s core features, let’s see how this tool stacks up against Typefully:

• Chirr App is a simple thread viewer and creator but lacks the added features to assist marketers in composing killer threads. For example, Typefully dynamically offers you prompts for tweets and threads based on your niche.
• Typefully offers more in-depth Twitter analytics - giving you smart insights into what’s working and how well your tweets and threads are performing.
• Both platforms handle tweet and thread scheduling in similar ways. We find they’re equally easy to use in this manner. They’re the main differences between the two platforms. The key theme here is that Typefully is the more feature-rich platform for Twitter marketers to write and schedule tweets and threads.

Feature-by-Feature Comparison

What is Chirr App?

Chirr App is a simple Twitter thread creator that makes it easy to write, visualize and schedule tweet threads. The app’s developers say Chirr App is like “Google Docs for Twitter threads.”

To get started, you can access the app through their website. You’ll be greeted with a blank text box. This is where you can start typing your thread.

You can type out your entire tweet in one go and it‘ll appear in a visualizer to the right of the document panel. Once you’re done, you can hit “Tweet Now” to publish your thread!

Chirr App’s Key Features

Chirr App is a simple, lite app with very few features. Let’s explore what this tool has to offer.

Thread Creator

As mentioned before, Chirr App’s primary feature is the thread creator. The idea here is that you can write threads out like blogs and use the tweet splitter to format this into a usable thread.

In practice, the “turning blog posts into Twitter threads” strategy doesn’t quite work. The app’s developers have created a smart algorithm that will automatically detect where your post needs to be split.

But the algorithm doesn’t always find the most optimal split - you’ll probably find yourself using the manual split tool instead.

With this text editor, you can add numbering to each tweet in the thread and upload images or GIFs to attach.

That’s it! There are no collaboration tools or comment sections. No writing prompts. No suggestions.

To some, this bare simplicity may be appealing. The biggest loss here is the inability to change display modes. We would’ve liked to see a way to edit the thread visually - i.e. make changes directly to the visual preview on the right of the screen.

Schedule Tweets

You can also schedule your tweets and threads. To social media marketers, this feature may well be the most important, as the time you tweet matters.

With Chirr App, you can pre-write your tweet threads and add them to a weekly or monthly schedule. This helps ensure you’re consistently releasing content on the platform.

The UI for this schedule is fairly intuitive. You can see all the tweets you’ve scheduled from before. To add a new thread to this schedule, just hit “New Thread” to go back to the main app page.

You can easily edit threads before their release by clicking on the card in the schedule. From there, you can remove them if needed.

The content pool houses all of your threads that you haven’t scheduled. This is a great place to house threads if you’re struggling with new ideas!

Tweet Analytics

Chirr App offers some basic analytics for you to track the effectiveness of your threads.

From the Analytics tab, you can track:

• Follower growth
• Likes and retweets of past threads

You can also use the Best Content tab to see which threads rank highest in interactions.

This analytics tool lacks impression and conversion rate tracking. Essentially, this tab doesn’t tell you anything more than you could find out yourself by skimming your profile page.

By contrast, more advanced Twitter marketing tools like Typefully can track metrics that can guide your marketing strategy.

Chirr App’s Pricing

Chirr App offers a free tier to get started composing tweets - but without a Pro subscription, you’ll be left without the app’s most important features.

The free tier offers

• Thread creation, up to 10 tweets long
• Instant publishing
• Automatic tweet splitting

It’s essentially the thread creator and nothing else.

The Plus tier offers some upgrades to the thread creator - including adding as many images as you’d like and the ability to save drafts. We think these features should have been included in the free tier.

Need to schedule tweets? You’ll need to upgrade to the Pro plan. This will set you back at least $15 a month. This also unlocks the “slow release” feature where tweets are ‘naturally’ published slowly one after another. This tier also unlocks the analytics tools.

Finally, the Team tier unlocks unlimited teammates and team management. But with the absence of basic collaboration features like comments, Chirr App isn’t the best option for teams.

The Best Chirr App Alternative: Typefully

Chirr App is a great no-frills thread editor, but if you need a tool to manage your Twitter marketing campaigns, it lacks any in-depth features to assist in this goal. Thankfully, we’ve got the perfect alternative that comes with all of those features pre-packaged.

Typefully is an all-in-one thread creator, scheduler and Twitter marketing suite. This tool gives you all the features you need to write better tweets and expand your Twitter audience.

How does Typefully compare to Chirr App? Here are some of Typefully’s top features:

Intuitive Thread Editor with Multiple Viewing Modes

Typefully’s thread creator is clean and easy to use. The default view is the “visual editor”, where you can edit the way your thread looks in real time. Click the ‘eye’ icon to switch to a mobile preview to see how your content will look on phones!

Prefer to write without distractions? You can switch to the minimal mode to compose directly into a text document.

You can easily drag and drop images and quote tweets into your thread sections,or use the icons to do it manually. Typefully will accurately keep track of your tweet characters to ensure you’re within the limit.

Where Typefully sets itself apart most is its collaboration tools. You can easily send drafts to your team members to approve or provide comments. These suggestions will appear alongside your thread draft, allowing you to quickly resolve them.

Better, Easier Scheduling

Typefully’s tweet scheduling tools are really simple to use. You can pick slots to regularly schedule your tweets.. Then, Typefully will allow you to easily assign tweets and threads to these slots.

When you write your threads, you can hit the schedule button to find the next available slot. You can either manually pick the time the thread needs to go out, or let Typefully’s algorithm find the best time for you!

Not sure when to tweet? Check out our guide on the best time to tweet here!

You can see an overview of your tweet schedules in the “Queue” tab. Here, you can see what tweets are scheduled, and can easily edit them - just like with Chirr App.

The time slot system works really well to simplify your tweet release workflow - and can help save you tons of time.

Typefully's Pricing

When compared to Chirr App, Typefully offers affordable plans that are packed with the features you need to ace your Twitter marketing campaigns!

The free tier allows you to write threads using Typefully’s beautiful editor and even add images. The Starter plan - for only $8 a month - unlocks scheduling, videos, analytics and more!

If you have more than 1 account, you should opt for the Creator plan. This allows you to connect 5 accounts at a time for $19 a month. Finally, if you work in a team, the Team plan - unlocking collaboration - will set you back $39 a month.

Write Stunning Threads on Twitter With Typefully

Chirr App is a good thread editor for smaller creators, but for those Twitter marketers looking to write and schedule killer threads, you need to be using Typefully.

Typefully’s brilliant thread editor, great scheduling tools and awesome collaboration system make Twitter marketing a breeze!

So, why not supercharge your Twitter today? Get started with Typefully and unlock your full wordsmith potential!

The answer is yes! It's a good idea. At Typefully, we'll show you everything you need to know about affiliate marketing on Twitter – like how to perfect your profile, create valuable content, and engage a monetizable audience.

Ready? Let's go.

What Is Affiliate Marketing On Twitter?

Affiliate marketing is a type of online marketing where you promote products or services on behalf of another company and receive a commission for each sale that you generate.

It's a great way to earn money online, and it can be done in a variety of ways – on Twitter, it means promoting products to your Twitter followers through tweets or threads, instead of people visiting your website or other social media platforms.

In this guide, we'll show you how to get started with affiliate marketing on Twitter, so you can start earning commissions from the products or services that you promote.

Why should affiliates use Twitter?

• Easier to get noticed with more organic reach. Other platforms like Facebook and Instagram favor paid promotions over organic reach. Twitter doesn't push promoted tweets as hard. So it's easier for smaller accounts to go viral with enough engagement.
• There's less competition. The Pew Research Center found that only 10% of Twitter users create about 80% of the content – so it's easier to cut through the noise when you're affiliate marketing on Twitter.
• 52% of Twitter users have purchased items after seeing them on the platform. You have a good chance of attracting people who will likely buy a product in the future after seeing it featured in relevant tweets – aka, your affiliate marketing efforts.There's money to be thrown around. Did you know that over 25% of Twitter users make $75,000 a year? It would be smart to tap into a platform that has a large number of potential customers with enough disposable income to consider your affiliate products, wouldn't it?

How many followers do you need to make money on Twitter?

While a great start would be to have a couple of thousand followers, remember that there's no concrete number that will guarantee your affiliate revenue.

To be honest, it's the wrong question. What you should really be looking at is a healthy ratio between the size of your audience and engagement rate. A smaller following that engages more with your Twitter account is more valuable than having a lot of followers who don't interact with your stuff.

It's important not to forget that 74% of people use Twitter for entertainment. This should remind you to produce entertaining content that your followers will find valuable and appreciate. If they think you're just trying to get them to spend money without any organic interaction, they're going to tune you out real quick.

1. Make a lasting impression with your Twitter profile

Your profile is the first thing that people will see when they come across your Twitter account – so it needs to make a good impression, like a landing page would for a website.

Here are some things you can do to make Twitter profile look credible and relevant with CTAs:

• Make sure your profile picture is clear and easy to see. Use a close-up headshot or logo for best results. It's easier to get people to trust you when there's a friendly face behind the content – it's more genuine.
• Choose a catchy profile header. This is the large image at the top of your profile, so make sure it's something that will grab attention.
• Write a persuasive bio. Keep it short and sweet, but make sure to include keywords that describe what you do and what kind of content people can expect from you.

- Even mentioning where you're from adds a level of closeness with your followers.
