Why LinkedIn Post Prompts Matter Now
Let’s be honest: posting on LinkedIn can feel like shouting into the void—especially if you’re a founder juggling 20 other priorities. You want to share your story, attract clients or investors, and build credibility, but inspiration runs dry or typing that first sentence takes forever.
That’s where LinkedIn post prompts (especially when paired with ChatGPT) are a game-changer.
I’ve spent over a decade helping founders and teams build authority on LinkedIn. The difference between a post that gets 30 views and one that sparks real conversations? It’s often a compelling angle, a clear structure, and a dose of authenticity. The right prompt does half the work for you.
Below, you’ll find my personal collection of high-impact LinkedIn post prompts—battle-tested, easy to use, and optimized for ChatGPT. Each comes with a tip and example to help you get started right away.
