WHY LINKEDIN IS THE BEST PLATFORM RIGHT NOW
LinkedIn's algorithm still rewards consistent text posts. Organic reach is higher here than any other professional platform. And unlike Instagram or TikTok, your audience is decision-makers — buyers, employers, collaborators.
PROFILE OPTIMISATION (DO THIS FIRST)
Headline prompt: "Write 5 LinkedIn headline options for someone who [WHAT YOU DO]. The goal is to clearly communicate who you help and what outcome you deliver. Keep each under 120 characters."
About section prompt: "Write a LinkedIn About section for someone who [BACKGROUND AND EXPERTISE]. The reader is [TARGET AUDIENCE]. Goal: establish credibility and invite them to [DESIRED ACTION]. Use first person, 3-4 short paragraphs, end with a CTA. No buzzwords."
Featured section: Add your best post, a resource you've created, or a link to your website.
CONTENT STRATEGY
The 4 post types that perform best on LinkedIn:
- Story posts — A lesson learned from a specific experience
- Contrarian takes — A belief in your field that most people get wrong
- How-to posts — Specific, practical instructions with numbered steps
- Observation posts — What you noticed + what it means + what to do
STORY POST FORMULA: Line 1: Hook (bold statement or intriguing opening) Lines 2-5: The story or situation Lines 6-8: The lesson or insight Line 9: The takeaway they can apply
Prompt: "I had this experience: [DESCRIBE]. Write a LinkedIn story post using the formula: hook, story, lesson, takeaway. 150-200 words. First sentence must stop the scroll."
HOW-TO POST FORMULA: Title line: "How to [ACHIEVE RESULT] in [TIMEFRAME]" Numbered steps (5-7 max) Closing line: What happens if they do this
Prompt: "Write a LinkedIn how-to post about [TOPIC]. Target audience: [WHO]. Include 6 numbered steps. Each step should be specific, not generic. End with the result they'll get."
POSTING SCHEDULE
Post 3-5 times per week. Consistency beats frequency. Best times: Tuesday-Thursday, 7-9am and 12-1pm in your target audience's timezone.
Use ChatGPT to batch-create a week of posts in one session: "Create a week of LinkedIn posts for someone in [NICHE]. Include: 1 story post, 1 how-to post, 1 contrarian take, 1 list post, 1 engagement question. Each 150-200 words."
COMMENTING STRATEGY
Commenting on others' posts is the fastest way to grow your following. Aim for 10-15 meaningful comments per day.
Prompt for thoughtful comments: "I want to comment on this LinkedIn post: [PASTE POST]. Write a comment that: adds a new perspective not covered in the post, shows I've actually read it, and invites further conversation. Keep it under 3 sentences."
CONNECTING THE RIGHT PEOPLE
"Write a connection request to [ROLE] at [COMPANY] who [WHAT THEY DO]. I want to connect because [GENUINE REASON]. Keep it under 200 characters. No pitch."
