Create a week of LinkedIn content: ChatGPT prompts to save hours
Start with your best post
Look at your LinkedIn analytics and find the post with the most comments, shares and reactions. Ignore work anniversaries, awards or timely milestones and find the timeless topics. That’s your starting point. People loved it once, so they’ll love it again in a different format. Keep the consistency going after you figure out why it worked.
“I want to create multiple versions of this LinkedIn post that connect with my target audience in different ways. First analyze this post to understand what made it successful, then tell me what elements to keep. Here’s my original post: [paste your post]”
Make it visual with a carousel
Text-based carousels perform well on LinkedIn. Take your message and break it into a series of short posts, each on a slide, that someone can swipe through. Head to Canva and open their carousel template, then number each part and build momentum from one slide to the next. Give enough value in each slide that your dream customer wants to keep reading.
“Take this LinkedIn post and turn it into a 5-slide carousel. Keep the main message but split it into numbered sections. Start with a hook that makes someone want to keep swiping. Add value in each slide. Include a strong call to action at the end. Here’s my post: [paste your post]”
Change the style
One post is only the start. Take your message and present it in multiple ways that grab attention. Some of your audience reads posts start to finish, others need their information broken into chunks. Some people skip the middle to read the start and end. Give your audience options to consume your content their way, then schedule them up a few months apart.
“Rewrite this LinkedIn post in three different styles: first as a story with a lesson, second as a step-by-step guide, and third as a collection of tips. Keep the core message but change how it’s delivered. Here’s my post: [paste your post]. Emulate my same writing style in each version.”
Film your message
Video gets your point across in a new way. Turn your successful post into a one-minute script that opens with a strong hook, makes three clear points, and closes with a call to action. Your audience wants to learn from you in multiple formats, and different people prefer watching to reading. The algorithm loves vertical videos right now, giving you the opportunity to spread your message wider. Get your audience familiar with your face and message.
“Turn this LinkedIn post into a 130-word video script. Create an attention-grabbing hook that works on camera. Include three main points from the post, written to be spoken out loud. End with a clear next step. Keep it natural and conversational and copy the tone of voice from my original post. Here’s my post: [paste your post]”
Get to the crux of the message
Your best content works harder when you repeat the core idea. Get shorter versions of your winning posts that you can repurpose like a pro. Pull out statistics, strong statements or memorable lines. Test the new lines on X before committing to LinkedIn, or share them as comments before building out as posts.
“Take this LinkedIn post and create 5 short posts I can share throughout the month, as tweets, LinkedIn comments, or to build out into more posts. Extract the key points and most hard-hitting or memorable lines. Make each one work as a standalone message while staying true to the original. Here’s my original post: [paste your post]”
