Why Format Your LinkedIn Posts?
Everyone knows a wall of text is hard to read. That's doubly true on LinkedIn, where professionals are quickly scrolling through feeds on breaks or commutes. Good formatting isn't just about looks โ it's about getting your message across effectively.
In a sea of text, formatted posts jump out and make people stop scrolling.
When you emphasize what matters most, readers pick it up even during a quick scan.
Good spacing and structure help readers digest information in bite-sized chunks.
Taking time to format properly signals that you care about how you communicate.
When you format consistently, followers start recognizing your posts before even seeing your name.
Strategic formatting creates a visual pathway through your content, leading to higher completion rates.
With most LinkedIn browsing happening on phones, good formatting prevents tiny text blocks that strain eyes.
Formatting Techniques That Get Results
LinkedIn's plain text editor has limits, but creative professionals have developed workarounds to make content shine. Here are some approaches that work:
Create visual breathing room between sections of your content.
Use โข โ โถ โก as visual dividers to separate content sections.
Enable bold or italic styling to emphasize key points.
Use ๐น and other emojis as custom bullet points and visual markers.
Organize content into scannable sections with clear visual hierarchy.
Best Ways to Format Your LinkedIn Post
Use these LinkedIn formatting rules to increase engagement in your next post:
Your first line determines whether people click 'see more' โ make it impossible to ignore.
Give each thought its own paragraph. One-sentence paragraphs aren't just acceptable on LinkedIn โ they're encouraged.
Numbered lists create a sense of progression and make your content easier to reference later.
Frame advice within short personal anecdotes that establish context and credibility.
Use 1-2 relevant emojis per post as visual signposts โ not as decorations or emoji overload.
When Formatting Goes Wrong: Pitfalls to Avoid
Even good formatting intentions can backfire. Watch out for these common mistakes:
When everything is highlighted, nothing stands out. Reserve special formatting for truly important points.
LinkedIn's search engine doesn't read formatted text as effectively. Keep key terms and industry keywords in standard text.
Jumping between different formatting styles without rhythm creates visual chaos that distracts from your message.
Some formatting tricks look great on your desktop but break completely on mobile devices โ where most people will see them.
Heavy formatting can make your content impossible for screen readers to interpret properly, excluding part of your audience.
How to Make Your LinkedIn Text Bold
Making your text bold in LinkedIn posts draws attention to your key points and helps them stand out. When readers see bold text, they're more likely to notice, remember, and engage with your main message.
The challenge is that LinkedIn doesn't offer native bold formatting in its post editor. Fortunately, there's a simple solution using Saywhat's text formatting tool.
