Let’s start with a burning question that many people often ask.
| ### 👉🏻 What to post on LinkedIn? |
| LinkedIn offers many different post types and content formats for you to post content on the platform. Though post types on LinkedIn keep evolving, which ones work best? Through our own extensive experience with the platform over the years, we have observed that the following post types work best on the platform in 2026: 👉 Multi-image posts 👉 Video posts 👉 Linkedin polls 👉 Text posts (including hashtags, emojis & links) 👉 Single-image posts 👉 Native document posts (PDFs) 👉 LinkedIn Articles 2026 update: Findings from a study published by Socialinsider in February 2024 indicate that multi-image posts receive the most likes and comments, while videos are the most frequently shared content. And in 2026, brands have boosted their posting frequency by 10%, with polls achieving the highest impression rate, and posts featuring multiple images and brief captions securing the highest engagement rates. Also, until December last year, multi-image posts were known as carousel posts, but LinkedIn removed native carousels as an organic posting option in December. Although you can still create similar posts by uploading a PDF with each page as a different image, we suggest multi-image posts are the way to go now. So use the various content ideas below to post on LinkedIn in the formats that work the best for you. |

Now let’s get into some of the best LinkedIn post ideas.
1. Post a growth hack
Growth hacks are a RAGE on social media these days.
You can post a growth hack to help readers learn something new.
Relate the post to how YOU used the growth hack to achieve something in your life. Your audience might relate to that and learn something new as well!
And people may even start recognizing you as a growth hacker if you are consistent with this theme.
There are many growth hack posts on LinkedIn.
For example, check out this post by James Laurain, a Tech Copywriter, who used this idea to great effect and got awesome engagement!
2. Write about a personal experience that inspires others
If you feel like you can inspire others or YOU need some inspiration, try writing about a personal experience that others can relate with.
This, in fact, can become some of the best content to share on LinkedIn because your experiences belong only to you; they’re unique, so nobody can copy you!
And one of the best things about sharing personal experiences on LinkedIn is that you never run out of experiences to share!
Here’s a simple yet effective post on LinkedIn by Dennis Agbegha, a Customer Experience Expert, that perfectly captures how you can use this idea!
3. Share one of your brand stories
Let’s talk about one of the most obvious LinkedIn post ideas you can go for.
Just share a story about how your business has impacted and helped your customers in one way or another.
Or you can talk about values important to you as a business owner or your business.
Present it so that it appeals to your audience and helps your brand get a boost!
Expert tip 1 💡 – Just make sure it aligns with your overall LinkedIn content strategy!
Expert tip 2 💡 – Try an advanced AI writing assistant like Jasper to create your stories.
These days, AI writers have evolved a lot and if you know HOW to use it, you’ll be amazed at the results Jasper can generate.
Here’s where to get started; use this link and get 10,000 words to try out Jasper for free!
We, use the Jasper Boss Mode (unlimited words) which starts from $59/month at 50000 words, so if you want that you can go here.
As an example, here’s a post from our Co-founder Harshit’s LinkedIn profile in which we talk about female inclusion.
4. Write about how success has changed your life
This LinkedIn post idea can REALLY inspire your audience (if you present it well enough).
You can share real-life snippets or tell a story about an interesting experience that you’ve had.
Check out this LinkedIn post example by Hala Taha, CEO of YAP Media which got her hundreds of likes and comments in terms of engagement.
[This is one of the best LinkedIn posts out there, in our opinion, because it combines so many of the ideas we have mentioned here into one post!].
5. Share a tip or an idea
If you often wonder about what to post on LinkedIn, then TIPS is one of the best ideas that work on LinkedIn, especially if you’re looking to get noticed.
Share a tip or an idea YOU think will be useful for your audience.
This way, you’re authentic, and nobody can compete with you at being yourself!
There might be people from your industry, curious people, or someone else who might be looking for something just like that.
That’s why tips and ideas are a goldmine for engagement!
And here’s a really valuable resource if you’re looking to master audience building on LinkedIn and sharpen your overall LinkedIn strategy.
One of our associates C. Chakrachhattri has created an Airtable respository which contains a highly valuable curated list of 500 LinkedIn playbooks by LinkedIn’s Top Creators (with an estimated impact of 3.7M likes and 52K comments).

6. Share info about a job opening
If you have an opening in your organization or come across an exciting job opening on LinkedIn, you can share that post with your audience.
You might end up helping someone.
For example, check out this awesome LinkedIn post by Neel Mehta, a Bestselling Author, whose post sharing a position at Google got 1800+ likes and 3000+ comments.
7. Share some of your hiring experiences
Now, this is something all entrepreneurs can come up with.
You’ve probably been part of job interviews, maybe as a job-seeker or as an employer.
And there are plenty of insights you might be able to share.
One of your insights might just end up making your audience a little wiser.
Here’s a post from Alan Collins, Founder of Success in HR, showing precisely what we mean.
8. Share an interesting stat
Everyone loves a good stat that makes them sit up and take note.
And when you share a stat that’s relevant to your business with your followers, it’ll help start a conversation!
Just find a real, insightful stat and share it.
Check out this LinkedIn post example by Mindi Zissman, a B2B Content Writer, in which she shares a few “cool stats” and then links to the stats in a comment.
AWESOME!
9. Share something from a book you’ve just read
If you’ve read a good book recently or are into one presently, you can always find something share-worthy and post it on LinkedIn.
Or, if it’s the start of a month, you can suggest your top 5 books to read in your domain in a post.
Consider this one as a LinkedIn content idea you can fall back on, on days when you feel you’ve run out of ideas!
10. Highlight something interesting from the news or a current event
Maybe there is a new product launched by Apple.
Or maybe something is going on in the middle-east that everyone should know about.
Find something important to you and share what YOU think about it.
Especially if you’re from a fast-changing industry (like tech), this is one of the best types of content to post on LinkedIn.
But remember to do this sparingly; you don’t want your profile to appear as a news network!
11. Things you believe others should do (or shouldn’t do)
From eating a protein-rich diet to sleeping eight hours a day to reading ten pages of a good book every day, there are probably many good things you do that others could follow.
Try sharing something on these lines, so others can benefit from your experience.
And remember to be cool about it and not get preachy because nobody likes that!
12. Appreciate something
This is one of those LinkedIn post ideas that we absolutely love.
There’s a lot of bad news out there, and everyone likes it if someone shares something positive.
Especially a post that appreciates something.
It can be something as simple as a kind word said to you by the cashier at your local store or maybe your daily cup of coffee on your commute to work.
Find something to appreciate, share it with your audience, and let the love flow!
Here’s Jon Youshaei, a Writer and Entrepreneur, using this idea to great effect and earning a ton of engagement!
13. Talk about a habit
We all have a routine and stuff we do regularly in our schedule.
You can share one such great habit that you’ve been into for a long time and which you think others should know about.
It may be reading every night before going to bed.
Or it may be working out every week a couple of times.
Share it and see if your audience relates to it or not.
Here’s Chelsea Donaldson, CEO and Founder of Pivotal Solutions, sharing her top six habits to build a healthy lifestyle.

14. Easy LinkedIn post idea; Share a great quote
Want to quickly find content to post on LinkedIn?
Great quotes to your rescue!
Find a quote that you think is awesome.
Think Martin Luther King Jr., Elon Musk, Steve Jobs, Nelson Mandela, Mahatma Gandhi….; the list is pretty much endless.
Or you can even create an insightful quote of your own.
The point is; sharing great quotes on your LinkedIn profile never gets old.
And one of the best things about this LinkedIn content idea is that you can never run out of quotes!
For example, see this post by Kelly Mizell, Associate Director at CBRE, where she shares a quote by country singer Luke Bryan.
The post got her much engagement, as you can see below.
15. Create a custom image and share it with a caption
These days, images and caption posts are (allegedly 😏) being pushed by the LinkedIn algorithm.
So, create a custom image or an infographic.
And share it with a crisp caption!
Expert Tip 💡 – You can design a custom image or infographic for yourself using Canva Pro (recommended if you the creative type and if you plan to create designs quite often).
16. Create a post using a popular hashtag
One of the best ways to engage your audience is to create a post around a hashtag on which many people are creating posts.
Simply put, people are already talking about that topic, so you know it’s already of interest!
And that’s why this is a tried and tested linked content idea that works well to engage your audience.
For example, check out this LinkedIn post by Gina Stracuzzi, Business Development Strategist and Co-Founder & Director, Women in Sales Leadership Forum.
See how she has used the hashtag #RecommendedReading to talk about a podcast she wants her audience to check out. NEAT!
17. Talk about a common misconception or myth
If you are from an industry like IT or SaaS, people might have some prejudices and misconceptions.
What you can do is share a common misconception or bust a myth that you think is incorrect.
Just make sure it’s interesting.
And who knows, your post might just end up going viral among professionals in your industry!
Here’s Floyd Fernandes, HR Global Mobility @ Siemens busting a myth related to HR in his post and getting a TON of likes and comments.
18. Share glimpses into your professional journey
LinkedIn might have evolved to be a social network for everyone, but at its heart, it’s still a place for professionals to connect.
And what do most people on LinkedIn have in common?
They’re all on their own professional journeys!
So it can’t hurt sharing something insightful from your journey with your audience.
Something that helps them grow or move forward.
And here’s the deal; we have seen in our own experience handling our clients’ LinkedIn that such posts can CRUSH engagement numbers!
So post something good that others can learn from.
Like this wonderful post from Baroness Michelle Mone (OBE), Entrepreneur & Baroness in the House of Lords:
19. Start a discussion on a topic you think is important
Is there a topic important to you, or one you think should be discussed more by people?
Share your opinion and listen to what others have to say on the topic.
And remember to keep the discussion respectful; you don’t want to come across as someone shouting from the rooftop.
Tip 💡 – Don’t be afraid to talk about topics that are a bit taboo or to take a contrary stand to what is the norm. That can really help shoot up your engagement! Just remember to stick with your overall LinkedIn content strategy.
Here’s Juhi Singh, a Content Writer, sharing a post on abortion and starting a discussion on the topic.
20. Deliver a powerful message
Let’s say you have an observation that you think your audience will find useful.
It may be about your industry or human behavior, or life in general.
So you phrase what you have to say into a powerful message and post it.
And with this LinkedIn post idea, you might just strike engagement gold (= viral)!
The result might be a post that gets hundreds of likes and shares.
And that promotes your brand much beyond your immediate audience.
👉 Bonus Tip – Just remember to be original with your post and avoid being cliché.
Here’s Dr. Daniel McKorley, CEO/Chairman at McDan Group, sharing a powerful post that REALLY worked for him in terms of engagement.
21. Write about something people should avoid
Everyone’s writing about something that they did or something other people should do.
But with this LinkedIn post idea, we are telling you to post about something people shouldn’t do!
This can be something in professional life or something in life in general.
Expert tip 💡 – You can even turn this into a small list of things to avoid.
Check out this excellent LinkedIn post by Robynn Storey, CEO of Storeyline Resumes, which shows this idea in action.
22. Spread some encouragement
Times are hard for many people, and there might be people in your audience that are struggling with disappointments in their lives (personal and professional).
Show some (genuine) love and encouragement occasionally and inspire people to keep moving forward.
Post something that lifts others UP.
Just be sure NOT to overuse this LinkedIn content idea!
As an example, here’s an encouraging post by Jennifer Oknin, Lifestyle Strategist and CEO of Shift into Health.
23. Post something as per the occasion
This is one of those clichéd LinkedIn post ideas, but it still works!
If it’s Christmas, use that as a post idea or if it’s Mother’s Day, share a story about you and your mother.
You get the idea.
This kind of content works well to build engagement, especially if you already have an engaged audience on LinkedIn.
And nobody’s stopping you from getting a little creative with your post.
Plus, if you’re looking for a content idea that works well for businesses and LinkedIn company pages, then this can work REALLY well!
Like this neat little post by Social Samosa, an Online Media Publication, in which the agency uses Parents Day as a theme to come up with a short, sweet, and creative post for their LinkedIn company page!
