LinkedIn is where many founders, consultants and executive buyers spend their working day. Video on LinkedIn lets them see and hear how you think, which builds trust faster than text alone. Few people in most niches post video consistently, so it’s easier to stand out.
The short answer: post short vertical or square videos (under about 90 seconds) that teach one idea, open with a clear hook, add captions, and write a short post above the video that gives context and a next step. Post 2–3 times a week, reply to every comment, and repurpose the same video to Instagram, YouTube Shorts and TikTok.
LinkedIn video formats that work for B2B
| Format | Example | Why it works |
|---|---|---|
| Insight in 60 seconds | “The one metric I check before every hire” | Shows expertise fast |
| Client situation | “A founder came to us with this problem…” | Proof without bragging |
| Opinion | “Why I don’t recommend annual plans for…” | Starts discussion |
| Process walk-through | Screen recording of your framework | Makes your method concrete |
| Event or behind the scenes | Clip from a talk or workshop | Adds credibility |
Write the post around the video
The text above the video still matters. Keep it to 3–6 short lines: the hook, one line of context, and a question or call to action. Avoid putting external links in every post; use your profile’s Featured section for your booking link.
Production basics
- Vertical (9:16) or square (1:1) both display well on mobile.
- Burn in captions.
- Keep the first frame strong; it acts as your thumbnail.
- Good sound beats a fancy camera.
One video, four platforms
The same 60-second video can go to LinkedIn, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts and TikTok with small changes to the caption. See content repurposing.

Frequently asked questions
Should founders post video on LinkedIn?
Yes, if their buyers use LinkedIn. Short videos let buyers see and hear how a founder thinks, which builds trust faster than text alone.
How long should a LinkedIn video be?
Short videos of under about 90 seconds that teach one idea work well for most B2B audiences. Longer videos suit events or in-depth walk-throughs.
Can I post the same video on LinkedIn and Instagram?
Yes. Adjust the caption and the first line for each platform, but the same vertical video can work on LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTube Shorts and TikTok.
