“Write a LinkedIn post for me”
Too vague—AI has to guess what you want
“Write a LinkedIn post sharing a lesson learned from failing to close a big enterprise deal. Audience: founders and B2B sales professionals. Structure: hook (first line must make someone stop scrolling), story (3–4 short paragraphs, conversational), lesson (one clear takeaway), reflection question (to drive comments). Max 250 words. No hashtags. Tone: honest and self-aware, not humble-braggy.”
Specific, clear, ready to use
What makes the strong prompt better?
Stop-scrolling hook instruction is the most important instruction for LinkedIn
Honest and self-aware tone prevents the performative LinkedIn post style
Reflection question drives comments which boosts algorithmic reach
