02. Setting up a LinkedIn Post From a Drive Traffic Campaign

First of all, you will need to set up a business account for your company on LinkedIn. It is free but extremely valuable to attract attention and build business connections.

If you are familiar with the Facebook Post from MindFire and how it works, the LinkedIn post works pretty much the same way. Please review the numbered arrows in the image below for details.

(1) Click on the "Configure Your Outbound Messages" tab. 

(2) Click on the LinkedIn tab. As long as you have selected destination page (hosted by MindFire or otherwise) as the Call to Action for this Drive Traffic Campaign, MindFire would have populated the post with images and text from the target landing page. Please make sure you add your own comments and appropriate hashtags in the space provided, in order to gain traction with this post.

(3) Connect to your LinkedIn account by clicking on the blue LinkedIn Connect button. 

(4) Go to the LinkedIn Settings tab to set up the new schedule for the post. It must be at least 5 minutes from the current time.

(5) You can select either your personal page or any business page you have access to for sending the post. In the My Markets | Companies section, you can select companies to be used for the LinkedIn posts. This article describes how to create companies. In the companies screen, you can select which companies you want to be able to post to, as shown in the screenshot below. You must have posting rights to those pages, otherwise, your posts will not go through.

(6) Click SAVE.

This post will show up on your business page at the date and time selected.
