Master LinkedIn's Short-Form Video Game: The Ultimate Cheat Sheet

Ready to stop posting crickets on LinkedIn? Let's turn your video content into engagement magnets with LinkedIn's own playbook.

The Golden Rules of LinkedIn Video:

  1. Format for Success • Keep it vertical (9:16 ratio) • Sweet spot: 15 seconds to 2 minutes • Must-have: Captions (because silent scrollers exist) • Tech specs: 1080 x 1920 resolution, max 5GB

  2. Content That Clicks ✅ DO: • Share standalone knowledge bombs • Drop industry insights • Sprinkle appropriate workplace humor • Hook viewers in the first 3 seconds • Encourage reshares and comments ❌ DON'T: • Go full sales-pitch mode • Post controversial or inappropriate content • Skip the context or captions • Forget your post copy

  3. Work Smarter, Not Harder • Repurpose work-related videos from other platforms • Write captions minimum 50 words • Include key takeaways in your post

Why it works:

  • Matches LinkedIn's algorithm preferences

  • Caters to professional viewing habits

  • Maximizes engagement potential

Your 30-minute action plan:

  1. Audit your best-performing content from other platforms

  2. Convert one piece into LinkedIn video format

  3. Draft engaging post copy with clear takeaways

Pro tip: Test different video lengths within the 15-120 second range to find your sweet spot.

Remember, LinkedIn video isn't TikTok in a suit. Keep it professional, but don't be afraid to let your personality shine through.
