Cross-Posting to X and LinkedIn — The Thought Platforms You Can’t Ignore

In the previous posts, we talked about the big four platforms: YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook.

Now it’s time to cover two platforms that are often overlooked but incredibly powerful when used correctly: X and LinkedIn.

These two platforms pair together for one specific reason:

They are both driven heavily by thought-based content.

Content that is:

  • Fast to write
  • Easy to consume
  • Powerful when distributed
  • Valuable to the right audience

Why X and LinkedIn Work Together

X (formerly Twitter) is a platform where you can express your thoughts instantly.

LinkedIn is a platform where those same thoughts can be expanded professionally.

The relationship works like this:

  • A short idea on X can be turned into a professional insight on LinkedIn.
  • A professional thought on LinkedIn can be simplified into a quick post on X.

Not every X post belongs on LinkedIn.

But almost every LinkedIn insight can be broken down into something valuable on X.

That overlap is exactly why these two platforms are connected.


The Power of Text-Only Cross-Posting

This is one area creators underestimate.

You don’t always need a video.

You don’t always need graphics.

You don’t always need reels, carousels, or anything fancy.

Sometimes you just need to write your thoughts.

Just like on Facebook, you can post simple text-based content on:

  • X
  • LinkedIn
  • Facebook

This is exactly why I built cross-posting the way I did.

There are different media types.

And one of the most important media types is plain text — your thoughts, your ideas, your insights.

If you have something to say, you shouldn’t have to log into three separate apps just to type it out.

That is a massive waste of time and energy.


The Problem Creators Run Into Without Cross-Posting

If you’re still going to:

  • X
  • LinkedIn
  • Facebook

individually each time you want to share a thought, then you are losing reach instantly.

You are missing entire audiences who:

  • Need to hear what you have to say
  • Could value your perspective
  • Could become followers, clients, or customers
  • Would otherwise never see your content

All because you didn’t distribute efficiently.

This is why cross-posting matters.

Final Thoughts

X and LinkedIn are two completely different ecosystems, but they share one powerful trait:

People show up to read and think.

If you’re not cross-posting your ideas to both platforms, then you’re leaving entire audience segments untouched.

Stop writing the same post three times on three different apps.

Start doing it once, in one place, and let your thoughts reach the people who need them most.
