On the Gravity Social Dashboard, click on the ‘+ Add Account’ button and then Click on “Add Account” in the Social Accounts page.

Step 5: Creating Your First LinkedIn Content

Click “Create Post”, in the left side menu bar and Select the LinkedIn account icon.

Choose the Visibility for your LinkedIn post

(Public - Your LinkedIn post can be viewed by everyone

Connections - Your LinkedIn post can be visible only to your connected people’s)

You can either write about the post on your own or use the “AI Assist” option.

To use AI assist, click the “AI assist” symbol.

NOTE: Leave text box field blank, when you use the AI assist option. If some content is already written in this field, AI can only modify the written content and won't generate the new content

Tell AI what to write about - Enter the relevant information in this field, for which AI will auto generate a suitable LinkedIn content.

Choose the tone - based on the selected tone, the AI will write the LinkedIn content accordingly.

Click Generate.

Use the Retry option - If you are not satisfied with the content already generated by the AI, you can use the Retry option. Not just that, there are more options mentioned below: Rephrase, Expand, Shorten, Simplify, More friendly, More formal, More edgy, More engaging - you can click on any of these and based on your selection, the AI will regenerate the content accordingly.

Now, Click ‘Insert’ to populate the description field.

You can do any changes you want in your LinkedIn post manually now.

NOTE:

Maximum Character limit for LinkedIn post - 3000

When you use Gravity Social, the AI generated words you used will be taken into account, from your total word limit in the Gravity Write subscription plan.

Post counts will also be deducted from your Gravity Write subscription plan.

Step 6: Post or Schedule or Add to Queue

Option 1: Post Now

After filling in the necessary details, click “Media”

Click Browse, Upload your image/video file and Click Insert.

On the right side, you can see the preview of your LinkedIn post.

Choose “Post Now” to publish the LinkedIn post immediately.

Your LinkedIn post will be instantly uploaded to your connected LinkedIn account.

This post will appear in the ‘Posts’ tab with ‘Published’ Status.

Option 2: Schedule for Later

Click “Pick Time”

Set the date and time for your LinkedIn post to go live and Click Pick Time.

Now, Click Schedule.

This post will appear in the ‘Posts’ tab with ‘Scheduled’ Status.

Once this LinkedIn post is posted at the scheduled date & time, the status will automatically update to ‘Published’

Option 3: Add to Queue

Click “Add to Queue”

You can use Add to Queue option to schedule and upload your posts at consecutive intervals (at 12.00 PM, 16.00 PM, 21.00 PM, 23.10 PM)

If you are creating your post & adding to the queue, the time slot next to your current time would be considered for scheduling your post.

Eg: Here, I have created the first post by 15.00 PM, so it has been scheduled for the 16.00 PM time slot. Next post, I have created and added to the queue scheduled for 21.00 PM time slot and so on.

This sequence continues like a loop irrespective of the platform you choose.

Labels Option

You can use the “Labels” option when you handle social media accounts for multiple clients. It helps you to differentiate the posts of the same social media platform for different users.

After creating your content, click “Labels”

Enter label name & Click “Save”

You can see the Label is created and now, click “Done”. (Similarly, you can create Labels while creating all of your posts.)

Now, you can post/ schedule/ add to queue - following the previous steps (Refer Option 1/ Option 2/ Option 3 steps)

Here, you can see that for LinkedIn platform, multiple posts are created but you can differentiate it for which client/user you have created this particular post, based on the Label name.

Step 7: How to publish a post to multiple social media platforms at the same time

Click on “Create Post”. Now, click all the social media account icons you have added or whatever social media accounts you want to publish post

You can see all the accounts in the page

Click on the (+) icon, it shows all the social media accounts

Click on the Pinterest

Here, you can see the Pinterest account page. Enter the details you want to post in your Pinterest post

Now, again click on the, (+) icon (Create Version)

Choose the X platform (or) any social media platform you want to add content

Enter the details you want to post in your X post. Once content for X post has been added, you can see, there is a Pinterest section, then comes X section

In a similar way, you can add content for all the social media platforms at the same time. After adding contents, you can see all the social media platform sections in the page. You can click on it and see the content you have given for that particular platform.

Now, you can choose to “Post now” (or) “Pick time” to schedule for a particular date & time (or) “Add to queue” to post at regular time intervals

(Refer “Post or Schedule or Add to Queue” point above for detailed steps)
