1. Select Create, and then select Amplify post.
2. Select a post type from the following options:
   • Regular post - Create a post for your Amplify members to share to their social networks.
   • Featured post - Pin the post to the top of your member's Amplify view and mark it as a featured post. The post will stay pinned to the top until the member sees it.
   • Internal announcement - Share this post in Amplify whenever you need to make an internal announcement. Members cannot share these posts.

4. Create your post. You can include the following and more in the body of your posts:
   • Links - Enter or paste a link in your post to drive traffic to your website, blog, or product. You can shorten your links in Hootsuite for a tidier look, and add tracking parameters so you can see how much web traffic comes from those links. Learn more about link tracking in Amplify.
   • Emoji - Have fun with emoji! You can select skin tone variations for emoji when creating a post, to better reflect your own or your audience's identity.
     
   • Hashtags - Enter your own hashtags or select AI hashtag suggestions to find hashtags that work with your post text and media. Read our guide to using hashtags on every network.
   • Media - Add images and videos to your post. You can drag files from your computer into your post or select Add image to upload your media. You can also design visuals with Canva (see Design visuals with Canva for help).
   • Mentions of a profile or Page (for LinkedIn posts) - Enter @ and select a LinkedIn profile or Page to invite others on social to join a conversation and help your post reach their audience as well as your own. You can only mention LinkedIn profiles and Pages connected to your Hootsuite Amplify organization or to your personal LinkedIn profile.
5. Optionally, assign your post to a Topic. Learn how to use topics to organize Amplify content.
6. If you want your post to expire after a certain time, select Set date, and then set an expiration date and time for the post. Your members' Amplify view will no longer show an expired post after your selected date. Admins can still find expired posts in Amplify.
