How to Schedule LinkedIn Posts: Planning and Publishing

To schedule LinkedIn posts with a social scheduler, prepare your caption and media, select the LinkedIn account, choose a future publication time, and check the saved schedule. Infinall AI lets you plan and schedule posts without using credits, but automatic publishing needs a connected account, and adding a new connection requires Pro.

Start with the post you want to publish, not a full calendar of empty slots. Decide who it is for, what the reader should learn, and whether the post needs an image, video or link. Then choose a scheduling workflow that matches your needs: a dedicated scheduler for finished content, or a workspace that also helps make it. The steps below cover preparation and checking before showing the Infinall AI calendar workflow. Keep the distinction between automatic publishing and a reminder clear, especially when you are looking for a free option.

How to Schedule LinkedIn Posts: Planning and Publishing

  1. Decide what the post should accomplish

    Write down the audience and the action you want them to take before choosing a publication time. For example, a founder could share a product lesson and invite readers to discuss their own experience. Keep that purpose beside your draft so later edits do not turn it into an unrelated sales pitch.

  2. Prepare the caption, media and destination link

    Finish the caption and collect the media you intend to publish before adding the post to a queue. Read the opening aloud, inspect any text inside the image, and open the destination link yourself. If the post describes an offer, check that the landing page and the caption promise the same thing.

  3. Choose a scheduler and confirm the account

    Choose a tool based on whether you need content creation, automatic publishing or just a planning reminder. Buffer supports LinkedIn scheduling and is worth considering when your posts are already made. Before scheduling, check which brand and account you are working with rather than assuming the last account you used is still selected.

  4. Pick a time and review the planned queue

    Choose a future time that fits the announcement and leaves room for a final review. Write down the intended time zone alongside your plan, particularly if someone else will approve the post. Check the calendar for duplicate announcements or an offer that will have ended by publication time.

  5. Open the right brand in Infinall AI

    In Infinall AI, open Distribution, the Social Hub, and check the brand selected at the top of the left menu. Open Calendar, write the caption, add images or video, select LinkedIn and choose the date. If you need new creative work first, select your confirmed brand with the brand chip in the relevant composer so its saved details guide the result.

  6. Choose between a reminder and automatic publishing

    Without a connected account, Infinall AI still lets you plan, save and schedule the post, then sends a reminder at the scheduled time. For automatic publishing, connect the LinkedIn account through Accounts in the Social Hub settings area; adding a new account is Pro only. Scheduling and publishing do not use credits, but connections beyond the included allowance have their own recurring credit charge.

  7. Check limits and verify the result

    Infinall AI's composer counts characters, warns when a platform limit is exceeded and blocks scheduling until the selected platforms fit. Set the scheduled time at least 30 seconds ahead and keep each file within the upload window's 25 MB limit. After the planned time, check whether the post published or needs attention: a failed send is retried up to 3 times before the post shows as Failed.

How to schedule LinkedIn posts for free

Buffer's Free plan is free forever for up to 3 channels and includes 10 scheduled posts per channel. Its supported platforms include LinkedIn, so it is a practical option to consider if you have finished posts and want a dedicated scheduler. Check Buffer's pricing page before deciding whether its queue allowance fits your publishing routine.

Infinall AI Free gives 1,000 credits every month with no card. The Calendar itself is free on both plans: planning, scheduling, publishing and reminders never use credits. However, a new Free account cannot connect LinkedIn for automatic publishing. Use the calendar as a planning and reminder workflow unless you already have a working connection. Accounts connected before a plan change keep working and can be reconnected.

What Pro changes, and what it does not

Infinall AI Pro costs $10 for the first month, then $30 a month or $299 a year, and gives 3,000 credits a month. Adding a new social profile is Pro only. Pro includes 2 free connections shared between social profiles and ad accounts; each connection after that uses 300 credits a month. The exact connection price is shown before confirmation.

Do not confuse the connection charge with a charge per scheduled post. Calendar planning and publishing do not use credits. Choosing a saved brand is also free, while a content tool charges its normal price for making the creative work and shows that price before confirmation. If scheduling finished content is your only task, a dedicated scheduler may fit better than paying for a wider creation workflow.

Use your own results to adjust the schedule

Treat your initial posting time as a starting point rather than a promise of better reach. Infinall AI's Best time to post chart shows which days and hours received the most engagement on your account. It is free on both plans, but it needs a connected account with some history. Without a connection, Analytics asks you to connect first.

Review both the timing and the substance of the post. If an announcement becomes outdated before its slot, revise your plan instead of publishing it just because it is scheduled. Keep a simple review habit: check the intended account, the caption, the linked page and the publication result. A saved draft, a scheduled reminder and a published post are different outcomes.

Frequently asked questions

Can I schedule LinkedIn posts in advance with Infinall AI?

Yes. In the Social Hub Calendar, prepare the caption and media, choose LinkedIn and select a future date. With a connected account the platform publishes automatically; without one, Infinall AI sends a reminder.

Does a free Infinall AI account publish LinkedIn posts automatically?

Not if it has no connected account. Adding a new connection requires Pro, although existing connections keep working after a plan change. Free accounts can still plan and schedule posts as reminders without using credits.

What should I do if a scheduled post fails?

Check the result rather than adding another copy immediately. Infinall AI retries a failed send up to 3 times before marking it Failed. Review the selected account and your post's content and media before arranging another publication.
