How to write a LinkedIn post that gets engagement with AI
Get past bland "excited to announce" posts and ship something people actually stop to read.
Guide curated and reviewed byMark Barclay
Before you start
- One real, specific story worth telling
Tools you'll use
- SynaBot
- ChatGPT
Steps
- 1
Pick one specific story
Not a generic take. One project, one lesson, one number. Specificity is the whole game on LinkedIn.
- 2
Write the last line first
What is the payoff? Write it in one sentence. Everything else exists to earn attention until the reader gets there.
- 3
Ask the assistant for three hook options
Prompt: "Give me three first-line hooks for a LinkedIn post about [story]. Each under 10 words. Each surprising."
- 4
Ask for a full draft with visible line breaks
LinkedIn rewards short lines. Prompt for: hook, one-line setup, 4 short paragraphs, the payoff line.
- 5
Cut, then post at 8am local
Read out loud. Cut anything that isn't the story or the payoff. Post between 7–9am on a weekday.
What you'll have at the end
A single LinkedIn post drafted with a strong hook and a clean payoff.
