Like any social network, LinkedIn offers several ways to post news, commentary, and other kinds of content for your followers to read and engage with.

In addition to traditional posts, LinkedIn now allows you to create a Story. Similar to Instagram stories, these are temporary posts that only exist for 24 hours. After one day, they simply disappear from your profile.

How to post a LinkedIn story

You can only create LinkedIn stories using a mobile app on your iPhone or Android device.

1. Open the LinkedIn app and, in the stories section, tap "Your story." You can also tap "Post" at the bottom of the screen and then tap "Share a story."

2. Use the controls at the bottom of the screen to take a picture or select an existing image from your camera's gallery. You can tap the Shutter button to take a photo, tap and hold it to record a video, or press the Gallery button to browse the photos on your phone.

3. Use the icons at the top of the screen to add text or a sticker. Tap "T" to enter text and adjust its color, or tap the Sticker icon to browse LinkedIn's extensive library of graphics. After you add an item to the screen, you can drag it around, resize it and even angle the item using gestures.

4. When you're done, tap "Share story" to post it to your profile.
