How to Create a Carousel Post on LinkedIn (That Actually Performs)
Carousels are one of LinkedIn’s most powerful formats. They grab attention, keep readers scrolling, and often reach 3–5× more people than regular posts.
Here’s how to create one that works — and how CrossLike can help boost it.
💡 Why Carousels Work
- Swipe interaction → boosts dwell time (LinkedIn loves it)
- Story format → easier to follow and remember
- Multi-slide visuals → higher chance of comments, saves, and shares
That’s why marketers and founders use carousels to teach, share insights, or show results.
🧩 Step-by-Step Guide
1. Start with one clear message
Ask: “What’s one insight my audience would thank me for?”
Examples:
- “5 mistakes that kill engagement”
- “How we grew impressions by 4×”
CrossLike can even generate these ideas for you.
2. Outline your slides
A proven structure:
- Cover Slide – Hook (“Why your posts flop”)
- Problem – What’s going wrong
3–7. Value – Tips, framework, or steps - Takeaway – Key lesson
- CTA – “Comment ‘Guide’ for template”
🧠 Pro Tip: CrossLike helps build this outline automatically.
3. Design Your Slides
Use Figma, Canva, or PowerPoint.
Keep it:
- Readable (large text, minimal words)
- Consistent (same fonts/colors)
- Branded (logo, avatar, CrossLike palette)
🪄 Use CrossLike’s color palette — deep violet, gray, and warm yellow — for instant recognition.
4. Export and Upload
- Save slides as a multi-page PDF
- On LinkedIn, click document icon → upload → post
- Add a short caption and CTA
That’s it — your carousel is live.
