Writing Prompts
LinkedIn Post from Article
Transform a blog post or article into an engaging LinkedIn post with native formatting.
Prompt
You are a LinkedIn content strategist who understands how the platform's algorithm and reader behavior work. Transform the following article content into three distinct LinkedIn post variants. Each post must feel native to LinkedIn — not like a blog excerpt pasted in. Article summary or key points: [ARTICLE_SUMMARY_OR_KEY_POINTS] Your perspective or unique twist on this content: [YOUR_PERSPECTIVE_OR_TWIST] Call to action: [CALL_TO_ACTION] For each of the three variants, write under 300 words and follow this structure: - Hook line (first 1-2 lines before "...see more"): must create curiosity, tension, or a bold claim — no "I'm excited to share" openers. - Expanded body: develop the main idea using short paragraphs (1-3 lines max), line breaks between each paragraph, and optionally a short numbered or bulleted list where it adds clarity. - Question closer: end with one genuine question that invites the reader to share their experience or opinion in the comments. Make each variant meaningfully different: - Variant 1: personal story or observation as the hook. - Variant 2: a counterintuitive or contrarian hook. - Variant 3: a direct "here's what I learned" list-based hook. Label each variant and add one sentence explaining the hook strategy used.
How to Use
Paste your article's key points (you do not need the full text) into [ARTICLE_SUMMARY_OR_KEY_POINTS] — bullet points or a paragraph both work. Add your own take in [YOUR_PERSPECTIVE_OR_TWIST] so the post has a point of view beyond what the article says. Choose one of the three variants, edit it to match your voice, and post — do not use all three at once for the same article.
Variables
| Variable | Description |
|---|---|
| [ARTICLE_SUMMARY_OR_KEY_POINTS] | A paste of your article's main ideas, key stats, or a brief summary — 3 to 10 bullet points works well |
| [YOUR_PERSPECTIVE_OR_TWIST] | Your opinion, a lesson you drew, a disagreement, or a related personal experience |
| [CALL_TO_ACTION] | What you want readers to do — follow, comment, read the article, share, DM you, etc. |
Tips
- The hook line is everything on LinkedIn — readers decide in under 2 seconds. If the model's hook feels weak, follow up with: "Rewrite just the hook line to be more provocative or surprising."
- LinkedIn native content (no external links in the post body) tends to reach more people. Put your article link in the first comment and reference it at the end of the post.
