Write Something

Compose your article in your favorite word processor or text editor

Find a Header Photo

This usually takes longer than writing the article. Don’t underestimate it. I recommend DollarPhotoClub.com.

Pro Tip: Crop Your Photo

Recommended size is 698 x 400 pixels.

Sign in to LinkedIn

The “publish a post” button appears in the row below your picture and statistics. LinkedIn just recently made it easier to see.

Click “Publish a Post”

This is why you had to find and crop that photo. (Research shows that posts with photos get shared more.)
