How to share a Facebook post on LinkedIn: The best 3 methods!
Wouldn’t it be perfect to use a social media scheduler to create and post your all social media posts simultaneously and share your Facebook posts on LinkedIn and other social media channels?
Yes, it would. You are probably using more than one social media platform to post and view content. If you aren’t now, you definitely will.
Therefore, there is a never-ending demand for a method to cross-post across all available social media channels. Is cross-posting a good idea? This is the topic for another article and you can find out details here:
People search for how to share a Facebook post on LinkedIn voluminously. Why do people want to cross-post between Facebook and LinkedIn, or other social media platforms?
Advantages of cross-posting on social media
You can share your content with a larger audience by cross-posting, saving you time, and not requiring you to put in more work.
Cross-posting is most advantageous because it saves you time. You can share the same content across all social media platforms rather than producing unique content for each one.
This is particularly useful if you don’t have much time or are managing several social media profiles.
Cross-posting also gives you the chance to reach a larger audience. You increase the likelihood that people will see and interact with your material by sharing it across various channels.
So, if you have Facebook content but you need to post to multiple LinkedIn accounts, cross-posting can save time and energy of creating, designing, and posting your content to all of your accounts one by one.
But, does cross-posting have only advantages? Surely, it doesn’t!
The disadvantages of cross-posting on social media
Cross-posting has a lot of advantages, but there are also some disadvantages to take into account.
First off, not every platform is made equally. On specific platforms, what functions properly might not on others.
Because of this, many marketers opt to modify their content for each platform and target market.
Another disadvantage of cross-posting is that some viewers may grow disinterested and quit reading your posts if they follow you on numerous platforms and see the same stuff.
You must be adaptable in your approach, just like with any other tactic.
One of the most common problems with cross-posting across different social media platforms is that every social media channel has its own image size and dimension requirements. You can find out social media image sizes in 2022 in our detailed guide here:

How to share a Facebook post on LinkedIn: Separate methods
There are 3 methods to share a Facebook post on LinkedIn.

Then a side menu will appear. You need to select the “copy link” option here.
