Help me turn my blog article into one LinkedIn post that sounds like me and earns attention from the right professional readers. Inputs: - Blog article or key points: [BLOG ARTICLE] - My audience and the action I want: [AUDIENCE AND GOAL] - My voice samples or voice rules: [VOICE GUIDE] - Relevant proof, result, or personal context I can honestly claim: [SUPPORTING DETAIL] First, identify the article's single most useful or surprising takeaway. Write a LinkedIn post of 180-260 words with: 1. A first line of 8-14 words that creates a specific tension, observation, or contrarian lesson. Do not use clickbait, vague claims, or “I was shocked.” 2. A short opening that establishes why the takeaway matters to [AUDIENCE AND GOAL]. 3. Three to five short paragraphs that explain the idea through a concrete example, framework, mistake, or decision from the article. 4. One practical action the reader can take today. 5. A restrained closing CTA aligned with [AUDIENCE AND GOAL], such as inviting a thoughtful comment, directing readers to the article, or offering a resource. Use LinkedIn-native formatting: short paragraphs, intentional line breaks, no more than three bullets if they improve scanning, and no hashtags unless they are genuinely relevant. Preserve useful nuance from the article rather than flattening it into motivational advice. Do not add statistics, outcomes, client stories, or personal experiences that are not in my inputs. Then provide three alternative opening lines, each using a different angle: practical problem, contrarian lesson, and personal observation. Before answering, check that every factual claim is supported by [BLOG ARTICLE] or [SUPPORTING DETAIL], and check that the post delivers value before asking for a click. Ask up to 3 clarifying questions only if a required input is missing.
Fill in
| Placeholder | What to enter | Example |
|---|---|---|
| [BLOG ARTICLE] | Paste the article, its outline, or the key points you want to adapt. | Article: Why weekly content calendars fail. Main point: teams plan topics but not distribution, proof, or a point of view. Include a four-part brief: audience, claim, evidence, channel. |
| [AUDIENCE AND GOAL] | State who should read the post and the desired action after reading it. | B2B content leads at 20-100 person SaaS companies; encourage comments about their planning process and link to the full article. |
| [VOICE GUIDE] | Paste a few examples of your writing or list the tone and phrases to use or avoid. | Direct and analytical. Short sentences. Avoid hype, “crushing it,” and rhetorical questions. I often use phrases such as “The real constraint is…”. |
| [SUPPORTING DETAIL] | Add a true result, example, anecdote, or context that can make the post credible. | After adding a distribution owner to each brief, our team published fewer posts but doubled average qualified newsletter signups over two months. |
How to use
- Paste the article or a detailed outline, then name one reader group rather than “everyone.”
- Add only evidence you can substantiate, especially performance results or personal stories.
- Check the hook against the body: it should make the same promise the post actually delivers.
- Follow up with: “Make this 130 words for a more opinionated founder voice, while keeping the same supported claims.”
Variations
Carousel outline
Use this when the idea needs a visual, swipeable explanation.
Turn [SOURCE IDEA] into a LinkedIn carousel outline for [AUDIENCE]. Create 8 slides: cover, problem, three teaching slides, example, action checklist, and closing CTA. Give each slide a headline under 10 words and 25-40 words of body copy. Use [VOICE RULES]. Do not invent evidence; mark missing proof as “[add example].” Check that the cover promise is fulfilled by the final slide.
Founder post
Use this when a founder wants to share a personal operating lesson.
Write a 180-220 word LinkedIn founder post based on [TRUE EXPERIENCE] for [TARGET READER]. Start with the decision or mistake, explain the consequence, then give the lesson and one practical recommendation. Match [VOICE GUIDE]. Do not turn the experience into a victory story or invent dialogue, numbers, or emotions. End with a low-pressure question relevant to the lesson. Check that the lesson follows from the facts provided.
Article launch
Use this when you need a concise post that drives qualified article readers.
Write two LinkedIn launch posts for [ARTICLE] aimed at [AUDIENCE]. Each should be 100-140 words and use a different angle: one problem-led and one insight-led. State what readers will learn, include one supported detail, and end with [CTA]. Use short paragraphs and no hashtags unless supplied. Do not summarize every section. Check that neither version overpromises what the article contains.
Tips
- Write the LinkedIn post around one lesson, not every section of the article; a post is a doorway, not a compressed blog post.
- Use a real operating detail such as a decision, tradeoff, or before-and-after process to make advice believable.
- Keep external links out of the opening lines, where they interrupt the reading experience and bury the actual point.
- If the post uses a result, include its scope and timeframe in your source notes so the wording cannot imply a broader claim.
FAQ
Should I paste the entire blog post?
Paste it if it is reasonably short. For a long article, provide the thesis, supporting evidence, and the section you want to promote.
How long should a LinkedIn post be?
A focused 180-260 word post is enough for a substantive idea. Shorter posts work when the insight is already clear and specific.
Can AI make the post sound like me?
It can get closer when you provide several real samples and explicit exclusions. Keep the personal details and opinions grounded in your own notes.
