So, Linkedin is great for business. But is there a formula for success? Does it matter when I post, what formats? A basic idea would be to post at a time when most of your audience is online.
However, this is just a temporary surge based on the presence of your audience online. What one needs to aim for is – writing evergreen content that one wants to consume at any time. This is a great strategy if you want people to come searching for you even after months or years of posting content. After all these things the main concern is when to post your content? If you post the content when maximum of your audience is offline, you will not receive the amount of views and engagement you hope for.
HubSpot suggests – “On average, the best time to post on LinkedIn is between 3 PM and 5 PM CDT on Wednesdays. Other high engagement times on the platform are between 8 AM and 10 AM CDT on Tuesdays, 10 AM and 12 PM CDT on Wednesdays, and 1 PM and 3 PM CDT on Thursdays.”
Google or Facebook Ads are a natural choice when it comes to pay-per-click campaigns. Though these two platforms definitely have mass appeal and even have larger audiences, LinkedIn Ads has exceptional benefits that can meet your business goals.
LinkedIn’s quality environment for branded video campaigns is an obvious differentiator. This enables brands to use sight, sound, and motion to tell more compelling stories and drive deeper engagement on feeds.
When it comes to create great B2B video content, the ball’s in your court. But when you want to get the right people to notice and care about those videos, LinkedIn can play an important role.
With LinkedIn’s suite of B2B targeting capabilities available for video for Sponsored Content, you can find your audience by traits like job title, seniority, company name, industry, skills, and more.
LinkedIn is the true “must-have” for B2B companies and for their marketing strategies.
