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:
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
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
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:
Audit your best-performing content from other platforms
Convert one piece into LinkedIn video format
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.
