Posting these carousels using Buffer simplifies the process, helping you maintain a consistent and organized social media presence. This guide will provide detailed steps on how to post a carousel on LinkedIn using Buffer, ensuring you make the most of this feature.

How to Post a Carousel on LinkedIn using Buffer

1. Log in to Buffer

• Visit the Buffer website or open the Buffer app.

• Enter your username and password to log in. If you don’t have an account, you’ll need to sign up and set up your Buffer account first.

2. Connect Your LinkedIn Account

• In Buffer's dashboard, navigate to the 'Accounts' tab on the left sidebar.

• Click on ‘Add a New Account’ or ‘Connect a Social Account’ if you haven't linked your LinkedIn profile yet.

• Select LinkedIn from the list of available social networks.

• Authorize Buffer to access your LinkedIn account by following the on-screen prompts. Make sure you grant Buffer the necessary permissions to post on your behalf.

3. Create a New Post

• Go back to the Buffer dashboard and click on the ‘Create Post’ button, usually located at the top or in the content calendar view.

• Choose your LinkedIn profile from the list of connected accounts where you want to publish the carousel.

4. Upload Your Carousel Images

• In the post creation window, you’ll find an option to add media. Click on the ‘Add Images’ or ‘Upload Media’ button.

• Select the images for your carousel from your computer. You can usually upload multiple images at once by holding down the 'Ctrl' (Windows) or 'Command' (Mac) key while selecting files.

• Once uploaded, arrange the images in the desired order by dragging them or using the provided sorting tools.

5. Add Descriptions and Titles

• After arranging your images, add descriptions or titles to each slide. This helps provide context and engage viewers.

• Some tools in Buffer may allow you to add captions or text overlays directly on the images. If this option is available, use it to enhance your carousel's content.

6. Schedule or Publish

• Decide whether you want to post the carousel immediately or schedule it for a later time.

• If scheduling, select the date and time you want the post to go live. Buffer will handle the posting automatically at the chosen time.

• If posting immediately, confirm your choice, and Buffer will publish the carousel to LinkedIn right away.

7. Review and Confirm

• Before finalizing the post, review the carousel preview to ensure all images, descriptions, and titles appear correctly.
