Introduction

AGI might become 100X smarter than humans…

…but I doubt it will ever understand LinkedIn.

It’s a weird platform:

80% of posts are just cringe,

19% are corporates humble-bragging,

…and only 1% of the content is actually useful.

At the same time, there’s massive opportunity on LinkedIn.

LinkedIn members have:

• A high average income

• A high level of decision power

• Low level of humour

But to seize this opportunity, you have to post consistently.

This is where ChatGPT and the LinkedIn post writer come in:

How to write actionable LinkedIn posts that don’t suck

There are 1000s of ways to write LinkedIn posts, and covering all of them would blow the scope of this newsletter (and probably my lifetime, too).

This prompt writes high-authority, actionable LinkedIn posts for you:

Write a LinkedIn post using the "Hook-Contrarian-In Reality-Advice-Wrap" framework on the topic of "[INSERT YOUR HEADLINE]".

"Hook": 1 strong, declarative sentence to grab the readers attention. It must be less than 77 characters.

Example 1:

"If you are building a web3 company, remember this (If you don't want to die a slow death):"

Example 2: 

"ChatGPT will kill 90% of creators.

5 interesting ways to stand out in 2023:"

"Contrarian": 1-2 sentences that call out a common misconception on the topic of the article and why it's not true, and then 1 sentence to transition into the "In Reality" part of the post. Shake up the readers worldview with a fact or idea they didn't expect.

"In Reality": 1-2 sentences explaining a principle, concept, method, truth, or wisdom on the topic as opposed to "Contrarian"

"Advice": 3-5 actionable bullet points of 3-6 words on how the "In reality" advice can be implemented. These should be valuable to the reader.

"Wrap": 1 conclusive, strong sentence to sum up the post. Can be a statement, opinion, or question.

3 Ways to improve the LinkedIn post writer

1) Convert your notes into posts for greater uniqueness

To make your LinkedIn posts even more unique..

…modify the initial prompt to be based on notes.

These notes can be from a walk, Youtube video, book, or whatever else related to the post.

This is powerful because unique input results in unique output.

(equally true when ordering pizza toppings with your friends)

How to modify the prompt by adding notes:

Step 1: Get your notes ready, post them into chatgpt

Step 2: Enter the prompt below

[INSERT YOUR NOTES]

Based on the above notes... [NORMAL PROMPT]

2) Mention statistics

LinkedIn is a very bori… I mean professional platform.

And professional people like statistics.

Add this to your prompt to make it include statistics:

[NORMAL PROMPT]

In your output, back up your thesis with at least 1 statistic or data point and credit the source 

3) Use highly specific post titles

Specificity creates uniqueness.

Instead of using a generic headline like:

"copywriting tips”

Make your headline more precise, like:

"6 little-known email copywriting tips that will increase your email open rates by 10% in 4 weeks”

Wrap up

On a side note:

My gym bought new equipment. This type of machine learning is definitely more exhausting.

Keep diving,
