What signing up already did
1
Offered you Depost Sync
A Chrome extension that keeps your posts and stats up to date on its own. Optional,
and skippable — see why you’d want it below.
2
Connected and synced your LinkedIn profile
Depost AI reads your profile and your recent published posts, up to your last 40, then
asks you to confirm it found the right person. That one read is enough to set the
account up, with or without the extension.
3
Built your content strategy from what it found
Not a form you fill in. Depost AI reads the history it just synced and comes back with
your profile and content strength, followers and engagement, a positioning, a
profile breakdown, what it would do next, and post ideas to start with — then asks
you to confirm the strategy.

Set you up on a plan

Why Depost Sync matters later
The signup read is a one-off snapshot, up to your last 40 posts. It’s enough to build your strategy and your voice, and if you never install anything else, Depost AI still works. What it can’t do is stay current. Depost Sync is the extension that keeps your published posts and their performance up to date after that first read — so analysis reflects what you published last week, not what you had when you signed up.Why this is safe to install. Depost Sync only reads, and only your own posts and
stats. It adds nothing to LinkedIn’s interface, runs on a schedule rather than
continuously, and stays well inside normal usage limits. It never posts, comments,
messages, or visits profiles for you, so it has no effect on your account standing.
Day one — check what it inferred
Depost AI made decisions about you from your history. They’re usually close, and they’re always worth reading before you publish against them.1
Read your strategy back
Ask chat “show me my current strategy”. Correct anything that’s wrong — audience,
goal, and what you offer all steer the writing. See
your content strategy.
2
Check how you sound
Your brand voice was built during onboarding and keeps adapting as you publish. Ask for
a draft and see whether it reads like you; if it doesn’t, say so in chat. See
brand voice.
Publish something (day one or two)
1
Generate your first ideas
Ask for ten, keep two. See get ideas and angles.
2
Create your first post
Give it a topic, an audience, and an ending. See create a post.
3
Publish it
Straight from the editor. Review workflows can wait until there’s someone to review.
4
Repurpose it
Turn it into a carousel or an infographic. Two formats from one piece of thinking.
See repurpose.
Build the habit (rest of the week)
1
Set your posting windows
Fewer slots than you think. See schedule settings.
2
Save a few bookmarks
Start the swipe file now so it exists when you need it.
3
Create a lead list, add a prospect
Even one. It’s the difference between a publishing tool and a pipeline.
See engagement.
4
Write a comment, send a DM
Publishing is half of LinkedIn. This is the other half.
If you’re running clients
Do this week as written first — one brand, published end to end. It’s the fastest way to learn what the product does, and every client brand you add afterwards behaves exactly like this one. Then read running client work, which covers only what’s different: a brand per client, keeping their voice and reporting apart, and who on your team can see which. If you’re publishing for yourself alone, you can skip workspaces, invites and reviewers entirely until someone joins.Related
