Prompts for writing posts that get engagement — thought leadership, stories, opinions, and how-tos that build your following.
Write a LinkedIn post based on this professional experience or observation: [Describe the experience, lesson, or insight in a few sentences] Format: - Start with a strong hook (first line should work as a standalone sentence that stops the scroll) - Tell the story or insight in 3-5 short paragraphs (2-3 sentences each) - End with a clear takeaway or question for the reader - Add 3-5 relevant hashtags at the bottom Tone: [Professional / Conversational / Direct / Inspiring] My role / industry: [Describe — this should inform the perspective] Keep it to 200-300 words. No fluff or filler.
Write a LinkedIn post that takes a contrarian or nuanced position on this topic: [State the conventional wisdom and your counter-take] Requirements: - Open with the conventional view most people hold (2-3 sentences) - Pivot with "But here's what I've actually found:" or similar - Make the counter-argument with 2-3 specific supporting points - Acknowledge where the original view has merit (shows nuance) - End with a thought-provoking question to drive comments My experience that supports this view: [Describe] Tone: Confident but not dismissive. This should start a discussion, not lecture.
