What counts toward the 3,000

Body text, mentions, hashtags, emoji, and line breaks. LinkedIn does not shorten URLs the way Twitter does; a pasted URL counts as its literal length.

Writing rules that fit 3,000

  • First two lines are the whole game. Everything after the See more is bonus.
  • Space between paragraphs beats a wall of text. LinkedIn strips extra newlines but keeps one blank line between paragraphs.
  • Three to five hashtags at the end is standard. Inline hashtags read as noise.
