Another reason for which hashtag should be used cautiously is, once you published the post you cannot the edit (add, change or remove) the hashtag unlike the article content which you can. On the LinkedIn mobile app, you can tap a hashtag displayed to show other content, such as posts and articles, that include that hashtag.

Some people also suggested 8 pm time for promoting to C-suite decision makers. One needs to understand the target audience and their schedule through out the day in order to draw their attention towards the posts.

If your image width is less than 200px, it will not display in the larger image format. Instead, images will appear as a thumbnail on the left side of the post. Images on mobile will not be cropped. Images of other ratios will show in full with subtle white padding.
