Format:
– Strong hook (first line makes them stop scrolling)
– Short paragraphs (2-3 lines max)
– Whitespace for readability
– Close with clear CTA

When to Use This Prompt

• You want to post consistently but blank page syndrome hits
• Your posts aren’t getting engagement
• You need to establish thought leadership in your space
• You’re promoting content or a product without being salesy

What You’ll Get

You’ll get a post with a scroll-stopping hook, short paragraphs optimized for mobile reading, your unique POV woven throughout, proof that backs up your point, and a clear CTA that drives action.

Why This Prompt Works

• Hook formula: First line determines if anyone reads past it

• Formatting matters: Walls of text get skipped; whitespace gets read

• POV requirement: Stops generic ‘here’s a tip’ posts

• CTA clarity: Engagement posts need different asks than traffic posts

How to Customize This Prompt

1. [ANGLE] — Hot takes get engagement; stories get saves; data gets shares
2. [YOUR POV] — This is what makes it yours, not generic advice
3. [PROOF] — Numbers, examples, or stories make it credible
4. [CTA] — Match to goal: engagement = ‘what do you think?’, traffic = ‘full breakdown in comments’

Pro Tips

• Write 5 hooks first: Generate 5 opening lines, pick the best, then write the post

• Test post length: Try short/medium/long and track which performs better for you

• Steal your own content: Use this to repurpose blog posts or tweets into LinkedIn format

• Comment strategy: Post, then spend 30 minutes engaging in comments to boost reach
