This skill helps you craft high-engagement LinkedIn posts that are concise, structured for readability, and optimized for the LinkedIn algorithm.
When to use this skill
- When you have a topic or idea and want to turn it into a LinkedIn post.
- When you want to increase visibility and engagement with your professional network.
- When you need a quick, safe, and professional post with relevant hashtags.
Workflow
Ideation:
- Take the user's input topic.
- Brainstorm a "hook" (the first line) that grabs attention within the first 3 lines of the feed.
Drafting:
- Keep sentences short.
- Use line breaks for white space.
- Ensure the tone is professional, insightful, and bold.
Optimization:
- Add a "Call to Action" (CTA) to encourage comments.
- Include 3-5 high-relevance hashtags.
- Verify against LinkedIn Safety Guidelines.
Review:
- Present the post to the user.
- Provide 2 variations: (1) Story-driven and (2) List/Insight-driven.
Instructions
1. The "Hook" Logic
The first sentence is everything. It must stop the scroll.
- Good Hooks: "I learned this the hard way...", "Most people think X, but the truth is Y.", "3 steps to achieve [Goal] in half the time."
2. Formatting Rules
- No giant paragraphs: One sentence per line where possible.
- Emojis: Use subtle emojis to emphasize points (e.g., 🚀, ✅, 💡). Don't overdo it.
- CTA: Always end with a question to spark conversation.
3. Content Safety
- No Offensive Content: Avoid controversial topics that violate professional standards.
- No Spam: Ensure the content provides actual value, not just "clickbait" without substance.
- Guideline Compliance: Strictly follow LinkedIn's professional community policies.
