Like any social network, LinkedIn offers several ways to post news, commentary, and other kinds of content for your followers to read and engage with.

In addition to traditional posts, LinkedIn now allows you to create a Story. Similar to Instagram stories, these are temporary posts that only exist for 24 hours. After one day, they simply disappear from your profile.
