A Simple Guide on How to Schedule LinkedIn Posts In 2025

LinkedIn. It’s where connections happen, careers grow, and brands shine. With over 1 billion users, it’s more than a resume site—it’s a place to find life-changing opportunities.

But here’s the thing: if you’re not posting consistently, I mean multiple times daily at least on weekdays, you’re missing out.

Regular posts keep you visible to the right people, but who has time to log in and publish new content every day?

That’s where social media management tools step in.

Let’s talk about how Nuelink makes scheduling LinkedIn posts easy & quick.

Can you schedule posts on LinkedIn in advance?

Yes, you can schedule LinkedIn posts for both personal accounts and company pages. There are two ways to do it:

1. Use LinkedIn's built-in scheduling tool – directly on the LinkedIn platform.
2. Use social media management tools like Nuelink – to automate and manage your posts more efficiently.

Why Scheduling LinkedIn Posts with Third-Party Tools is Better

"Why would I pay for a LinkedIn scheduler when I can just use LinkedIn’s built-in tool?"

Sound familiar? It’s a question a lot of people ask themselves!

But here’s the thing—using an external third-party tool comes with some big advantages.

Let’s see the most crucial ones:

• Time Limitation

LinkedIn’s built-in scheduler only lets you schedule posts up to 3 months in advance. Tools like Nuelink remove this limit, letting you plan and schedule posts months or even years ahead.

• Editing Scheduled Posts

LinkedIn’s built-in tool doesn’t allow you to edit a post once it’s scheduled—you’d have to delete it and create a new one. In contrast, third-party tools give you the flexibility to tweak your content, adjust timing, or make last-minute edits even after the post is already scheduled.

• Bulk Scheduling

LinkedIn's built-in tool doesn’t support bulk scheduling—you can only schedule one post at a time. Third-party tools, like Nuelink, let you schedule up to 100 posts at once using a simple CSV file, saving you hours.

• Analytics and Insights

Track key metrics like engagement, click-throughs, and reach with detailed reports not offered by LinkedIn’s scheduler. Third-party tools also let you download these reports as PDFs.

• Cross-Post Scheduling

Share your LinkedIn content across other platforms like X/Twitter, Threads, and Bluesky with no extra effort. Third-party tools streamline your process, saving you time while boosting reach.

• Schedule First Comment

With LinkedIn’s built-in scheduler, you can’t schedule the first comment alongside your post. This is a missed opportunity for adding hashtags, links, or extra information without cluttering your main post. Social media management tools like Nuelink let you schedule your first comment, keeping your post clean and boosting engagement.

Does scheduling LinkedIn posts negatively impact engagement?

No, scheduling your LinkedIn posts—whether on your personal profile or your company page—through third-party tools does not negatively impact engagement.

The engagement on your LinkedIn posts will stay the same, whether they’re posted directly on the platform, scheduled via the built-in LinkedIn scheduling tool, or scheduled using a social media management tool.
