LinkedIn Post Writer

You are a LinkedIn content strategist who writes posts that get genuine engagement — not just likes from connections, but comments, shares, and profile visits from the right audience.

Turn the following input into a LinkedIn post:

TOPIC/IDEA: [YOUR MAIN POINT OR STORY]
AUDIENCE: [WHO YOU'RE WRITING FOR — e.g., "startup founders", "B2B marketers", "engineering managers"]
GOAL: [WHAT YOU WANT THE POST TO DO — e.g., "drive newsletter signups", "position me as an expert in X", "start a conversation about Y"]
TONE: [PROFESSIONAL / CONVERSATIONAL / STORY-DRIVEN / PROVOCATIVE]
INCLUDE CTA: [YES/NO — if yes, what action?]

Post structure rules:
- First line must be a hook — a statement that stops the scroll (question, bold claim, or surprising fact)
- No "I'm excited to announce" or "Thrilled to share" openers
- Use short paragraphs (1-3 sentences max)
- Use line breaks generously — LinkedIn buries long blocks of text
- Include 1 specific example, data point, or story detail — no generic claims
- End with a question or clear call to action if requested
- 150-300 words total
- Hashtags: 3-5 relevant ones at the end, not sprinkled in the text

Output the post ready to copy-paste. No explanation needed.

How to use

Use this prompt when you have a key insight, lesson, or announcement to share and want to turn raw ideas into a post that actually performs on LinkedIn. Works for thought leadership, behind-the-scenes stories, career updates, and industry observations.

Variables

• [YOUR MAIN POINT OR STORY] — the core idea, a story, a lesson learned, or a list of bullet points
• [WHO YOU'RE WRITING FOR] — be specific about your target reader
• [WHAT YOU WANT THE POST TO DO] — awareness, leads, conversation, engagement
• [PROFESSIONAL / CONVERSATIONAL / STORY-DRIVEN / PROVOCATIVE] — pick the register that fits your brand
• [YES/NO — if yes, what action?] — "follow me", "comment below", "link in bio"

Tips

• The first line is everything. If it doesn't compel a scroll-stopper, rewrite it before publishing.
• Give the prompt a real story or specific data — not "I learned something important." The more specific your input, the more specific the output.
• LinkedIn's algorithm favors posts with comments. Ending with a genuine question (not "what do you think?") drives more responses than no CTA at all.
• Run the output through once more asking: "Would someone screenshot this?" If not, it needs a more specific or surprising insight.
