Posting tips

FAQ

How many hashtags per platform?
LinkedIn: 2-3, Instagram: 3-5, TikTok: 2-4. Avoid long lists that look spammy.
Should I cross-post?
Yes—adapt format. Use LinkedIn Post Formatter for LI, Caption Generator for IG, and re-cut scripts for TikTok/Shorts.
What length works best?
LinkedIn: 80-140 words. Twitter: short lines. IG: concise + 3-5 hashtags. TikTok: 30-45s scripts.
Do I need multiple CTAs?
Stick to one CTA per post (comment, follow, click). Multiple CTAs reduce completion.
