How to schedule LinkedIn posts, PDF carousels included

Connect your LinkedIn profile to SPREVA, write the post, press Schedule and pick the day and time, or add it to a queue that keeps your posting times. LinkedIn takes four kinds of post: text with an optional link, images, one video, or one PDF that people swipe through, which is what most people mean by a LinkedIn carousel. SPREVA checks LinkedIn's limits, 3000 characters among them, before anything goes out.

Each kind has its own rules, and SPREVA checks them as you write and again right before sending:

What people call a LinkedIn carousel is a document post: a PDF that LinkedIn shows a page at a time, for people to swipe through. Make the slides wherever you like, export them as one PDF, then:

1. 1

   Press New in the sidebar, choose Post, then Document Post: a PDF people can swipe through.

2. 2

   Pick your LinkedIn profile and add the PDF.

3. 3

   Give the document a title, which LinkedIn shows with it. Without one, SPREVA uses the first line of your text.

4. 4

   Write the text that goes above it, then Schedule it or Add to queue.

Keep the words on each page large enough to read on a phone, and put the point of the whole document on its first page: it is the only one people see before they decide to swipe.

A post with a link and no picture becomes a preview card: LinkedIn fetches the page's title and image and shows them under your text. Add a picture, a video or a document, and the link stays in the text as a plain link, with no card. SPREVA warns you before you schedule when a link will go out without its card.

So choose per post. To send people to a page, let the card do the work and leave out the picture. To stop them in the feed, use the picture and put the link in the text.

Each LinkedIn post has an audience: anyone, your connections only, or anyone signed in to LinkedIn. It is anyone unless you change it, post by post, in the LinkedIn settings of the editor.

Pictures carry alt text for people who use a screen reader. SPREVA takes it from the description your library wrote for the picture when you uploaded it, and you can write your own for one post. How the library describes a picture.

If you post on the same days each week, make a queue: Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday at 8:30, in your time zone. Write when you have time, add each post to the queue, and each takes the next free time.

With an AI agent connected to SPREVA, the evening's writing can start from what you already have:

Connect your LinkedIn profile, make a queue for the mornings you post, and add next week's posts to it, one PDF carousel among them. Every plan starts with a 7-day trial.
