LinkedIn Posting Party: Frequently Asked Questions
General Questions
Q1: What exactly is a LinkedIn Posting Party and how is it different from an engagement pod?
A posting party is a live, scheduled virtual meeting where participants gather to create, share, and engage with LinkedIn content in real-time. Unlike engagement pods, which often involve blind engagement and can feel transactional, posting parties emphasize authentic relationships and real-time interaction. Participants actively discuss their content, provide immediate feedback, and build genuine connections through face-to-face virtual meetings.
Q2: How much time do I need to commit to a posting party?
The typical posting party runs 15-30 minutes, depending on the number of participants. Plan for:
5 minutes for setup and introductions
2-3 minutes per participant
Example: A 5-person posting party usually takes about 20 minutes total
Q3: What if I don't have a post ready when I join the party?
That's perfectly fine! Posting parties can actually help you brainstorm content ideas. Other participants can provide input, and you can use AI tools to quickly develop a post during the session. The key is showing up and being ready to engage with others' content.
Q4: How many people should be in a posting party?
The ideal size is 3-10 people, with 5 being the sweet spot. Smaller groups allow for:
More meaningful interaction
Sufficient time for each participant
Better relationship building
More focused engagement
Technical Questions
Q5: Why do I need to use a computer instead of my phone?

Better access to all LinkedIn features
Easier copying and pasting of URLs
Split-screen capability for following along
More efficient comment typing
Better visibility of engagement metrics
Easier navigation between Zoom and LinkedIn
Q6: What's this about UTM tags and why do we need to remove them?
UTM tags are tracking parameters added to URLs (everything after the "?" in a URL). Removing them:
Prevents LinkedIn from flagging identical click sources
Makes your engagement appear more natural
Helps avoid potential algorithmic penalties
Simplifies the sharing process
Participation Questions
Q7: How often should I participate in posting parties?
Best practices suggest:

Q8: What makes a good posting party comment?
Quality comments should:
Be relevant to the post content
Add value to the discussion
Be at least 2-3 sentences long
Include personal insights or experiences
Ask thoughtful questions
Avoid generic phrases like "Great post!"
Q9: What if I'm not comfortable with video calls?

Start with audio-only participation
Use the chat function actively
Share your screen when discussing your post
Gradually become more comfortable with video
Focus on the engagement aspects first
Organization Questions

You can find participants through:
Your existing LinkedIn network
Professional groups you belong to

Cross-industry connections
Alumni networks

Share relevant content outside of posting times

Network growth
Relationship development
Content improvement
Professional opportunities generated
Long-term engagement consistency
Group participant retention
Remember: The true measure of success is the quality of relationships built and the value added to your professional network, not just numerical engagement metrics.
