How to Share a Blog Post on LinkedIn for More Views and Better Reach
If you’ve ever hit “publish” on a blog post and then watched… nothing happen—no views, no shares, no likes—you’re not alone.
Way too many business owners and bloggers follow the old “build it and they will come” approach. But today, content success doesn’t stop at writing. It starts with distribution.
And there’s one platform that’s often overlooked or underused: LinkedIn.
In this guide, I’m going to show you the best way to share your blog posts on LinkedIn so you get more traffic, build your authority, and finally make your blog content work harder for your brand.
Let’s talk strategy, timing, formats—and how BlogAutomationEmpire.com can take the entire process off your plate while bringing rankings and reach on autopilot.
Why LinkedIn is Your Blog’s Secret Weapon
LinkedIn isn’t just a place to update your resume or network. With over 900 million professionals using it daily, this platform is a goldmine for B2B visibility.
Here’s why it works:
- It’s built for thought leadership ⚡
- Posts can go viral even without a big audience
- The algorithm favors native, value-driven content
- It’s one of the most trusted platforms for business-related content
According to HubSpot, LinkedIn is 277% more effective at lead generation than Facebook or Twitter. That’s huge, especially if you’re in the B2B or service space.
So why aren’t more people seeing results when they post blog links? Simple…
They’re doing it wrong.
The Big Mistake: Link Dumping
Let’s be real. Just copying and pasting a blog link into your LinkedIn feed and saying “Check out our latest blog!” isn’t going to cut it.
Why? Because LinkedIn’s algorithm doesn’t like external links. It wants users to stay on their platform. Posts with links lose reach unless they’re packed with context and value.
That’s why you have to reformat your blogs specifically for LinkedIn’s strengths.
Let’s break it down.
Step-by-Step Guide to Sharing Blog Posts on LinkedIn for Maximum Reach
This isn’t about reinventing the wheel. It’s about working smarter—and making the most of every post you publish.
1. Start with Your Blog Strategy
Ask yourself:
- Who is this blog for?
- What pain point does it solve?
- What is the ONE takeaway you want your audience to get?
Your LinkedIn post should lead with this answer.
Want to skip this headache entirely? That’s what BlogAutomationEmpire.com does best—handling research, structure, and content distribution for max ROI.

2. Repurpose, Don’t Just Repost
Here’s how to turn one blog post into three high-performing LinkedIn formats:
- ✔️ Short Text Post
Pick the blog’s main insight and turn it into a 3–5 sentence post with a bold hook and value-driven summary. Ignore self-promotion. Add your link in the first comment (LinkedIn prefers that). - ✔️ Carousel/Slide Post
Break down the blog into slides using Canva or upload a PDF with step-by-step tips. These perform extremely well. - ✔️ Native Video Recap
Film a quick, behind-the-scenes video summarizing the blog’s takeaways. This not only adds a personal touch—it skyrockets engagement.
3. Post at Optimal Times
Don’t waste good content during dead hours.
Best times to post on LinkedIn:
- Tuesday to Thursday
- Between 8 AM–10 AM or around lunch (12 PM–1 PM)
- Test for YOUR audience—use scheduling tools to experiment
According to Hootsuite, posts during high scroll times get up to 2x more visibility.
4. Optimize with Hashtags
LinkedIn isn’t Instagram, but hashtags still matter.
- Use 3–5 targeted hashtags per post
- Include a mix of broad and niche tags (#b2bmarketing + #contentdistribution)
- Search LinkedIn for trending industry hashtags in your space
5. Encourage Engagement
End every post with a specific question or call to action:
- “What’s worked for you?”
- “Drop a link. I’d love to read your POV.”
- “Want to see the full breakdown? Click the link in the comments.”
Pro Tip: Ask your team and clients to engage and share. LinkedIn’s algorithm LOVES that.
Real-Life Example: Doing It Right
Let’s say your blog is titled “10 Ways to Speed Up WordPress Load Time.”
Instead of just dropping a link, you’d create:
- A graphic carousel titled: “How to Make Your Website Load in Under 2 Seconds”
- A text post: “73% of users will leave if your site takes more than 3 secs to load. Here’s how to speed up your WordPress site.👇”
- Add the link in the comments
- Tag key phrases like #wordpressseo and #pagespeed
Then repeat the process a few days later using a different format to hit a new chunk of your audience ❤️
What You Should Avoid
- ✅ Don’t share JUST the link. Give people a reason to care.
- ✅ Don’t post inconsistently. Make it a habit.
- ✅ Don’t skip visuals or forget to format correctly.
