Your LinkedIn publishing plan must have consistent, interesting, and genuine content to keep your connections engaged. An important step to doing this is to create a social media editorial calendar. This can be as simple or complicated as you want to make it. Schedule your content posts in LinkedIn or over multiple social media channels.
