LinkedIn Post Prompt
You are an experienced LinkedIn ghostwriter. Turn the idea below into an engaging LinkedIn post.
IDEA:
[PASTE YOUR IDEA, STORY OR KEY POINTS]
Rules:
- Open with a strong one-line hook that stops the scroll.
- Short, skimmable lines with white space (no dense paragraphs).
- One concrete insight, lesson or story - not vague advice.
- Conversational and human; no buzzwords or corporate jargon.
- 120-180 words, max 3 relevant hashtags.
- End with a question to drive comments.
Give me 2 versions with different hooks.
Add your idea where indicated. Works in ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini.
How to use it
Copy the prompt above.
Paste it into ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini.
Add your idea, story or bullet points.
Pick the best hook and refine: “more personal”, “add a stat”.
What makes a LinkedIn post work
The hook - the first line decides if anyone reads on.
One idea - posts that try to say everything say nothing.
Readable formatting - short lines, white space.
A prompt to comment - questions drive reach.

A good LinkedIn prompt tells ChatGPT to act as a ghostwriter, give it your idea, and set rules: a strong hook, short skimmable lines, one concrete insight, a conversational tone, and a question at the end. The prompt on this page follows that recipe and gives you two hook variations.
How do I make AI LinkedIn posts not sound robotic?
Tell the AI to write conversationally, avoid buzzwords and corporate jargon, use a real story or specific insight, and keep your voice. Then edit it so it sounds like you - never post raw AI output.
Does it work for other platforms?
Yes - tweak the rules (length, hashtags, tone) and the same approach works for X, Instagram captions or a newsletter.
