Unfortunately you cannot schedule a post from within the Linkedin platform itself (at the time of writing)! In the mean-time, here are 3 third-party platforms with which you CAN schedule posts to Linkedin;
- Hubspot – Mktn Hub Pro Acc frm £655 p/m 😳
- Hootsuite – Pro Acc frm £25 p/m 🙄
- SlackSocial – FREE 🙏
Please note the following if you decide to go with Option 3;
- Due to changes in API guidelines by Linkedin, SlackSocial are no longer able to support linkedin groups and statistics for linkedin posts
- Posts with photos/images in SlackSocial are only available on a paid plan – starting from $7 p/m – web links or photo source links are available in free accounts.
- You can schedule posts into facebook groups but you have to give the app permission to do this!
- Make sure to check what permissions you give to apps when you connect them to your social media accounts – particularly in Facebook if you manage more than one page!
