Being a old Linkedin user, I have tried text-only posts, carousels, images, polls, and short videos over the past few months. The results have been quite different depending on the niche and audience. My question is for those who are getting consistent engagement on LinkedIn, which content format is currently performing best for you? It would be interesting to compare experiences and see whether certain formats are working better across different industries.

I've found that text-only posts with a personal story or specific industry insight usually perform better than link-heavy posts on LinkedIn. It really helps to boost engagement and reach.
 
Polls usually get engagement quickly but don’t always translate into meaningful reach or profile visits unless paired with strong follow-up content.
 
In my experience, posts that share job search tips or practical workplace advice consistently attract a lot of attention and engagement.
 
I have crated a lot of good posts. The main things is value and what are you writing about. I was created story about Stake brand in 5 posts and it gains pretty good views! For sure you can create a post and engage to comments., hsaring simething, but I do not like this type of content
 
Text with eyecatchy 2d graphic worked for me. I think style depends on your audience. First you have to understand your audience
 
For me, carousels and value-packed text posts are still performing best. Carousels usually get higher reach and saves, while text posts tend to generate more meaningful discussions when the topic is relevant to the audience. Consistency and content quality seem to matter more than the format itself.
 
In my experience, the format matters less than the value of the content. That said, carousels and short text posts with a clear takeaway tend to generate the most consistent engagement. The audience and niche definitely play a big role in what performs best.
 
For me, simple text posts with a personal experience or lesson learned still get the best engagement compared to other formats.
 
Short native videos are getting better reach in my experience, but carousels still generate the highest engagement quality and time spent on content.
 
For me, text posts with a strong hook and a personal insight tend to perform best. Carousels also do well for educational content, while videos can work if they're short and provide immediate value. The format matters, but relevance and consistency matter more.
 
In my experience, text posts and polls still generate the most engagement. At the end of the day, what matters most is creating content that genuinely captures people's interest.
 
For me, carousels and text posts with a strong hook are the most consistent.
Short videos can do really well too, but only if they deliver value in the first few seconds. The format matters—but the topic and opening line matter even more.
 
Text posts with a strong hook and a personal insight works for meto get good engagement. Crousels also perform well when they provide practical value but the format matters less than the quality and relevance of content.

Carousels & text posts are still winning for me. Carousels get more shares, while text posts with a personal story usually bring the best discussions.
Videos are hit or miss, and polls seem good for impressions but not much else. I think the niche matters more than the format itself.
 
i think videos are good for reach but text better for authority building

In my view, the most appropriate format would be determined by your goals for the post rather than the maximum reach possible. In fact, a text post, which would tell about an experience, a consequennce, or an opinion of yours, is more likely to generate discussion than a nicely structured piece of generic advice.
The carousell format is perfect if the concept behind it requires structure, but i have seen that in many cases the opening line and the idea itself are more important than the format itself.
 
Consistency and engaging with comments afterward seem to make an even bigger difference. they tend to spark more genuine conversation than polished promotional content . I've had the best results with shots experience based post that include a practical takeaway.
 
text posts with a takeaway seem to get the most consistent engagement i think the content itself matters more than the format i am still experimenting though so Id be interested to hear what is working well for others in different niches

document carousels PDF slides and short vertical videos under 60 seconds are currently the top performers for engagement by maximizing algorithmic dwell time, though text only posts with strong hooks remain crucial for driving conversation and comments
