LinkedIn post generator that starts from your real story
Most AI LinkedIn posts read like they came from the same template: a one-word hook, a fake lesson, ten line breaks. This prompt gives your todo.is agent one real thing that happened to you, and it writes three posts in different formats that sound like a person, not a bot.
The prompt
- Write 3 LinkedIn posts for me. I am [YOUR ROLE AND INDUSTRY] and I write for [WHO READS YOUR POSTS]. The post is based on this: [WHAT HAPPENED OR WHAT YOU LEARNED]. Make one a short story post, one a practical list post with steps people can use, and one a contrarian opinion post. Each post should be 120 to 220 words, open with a hook line under 12 words that would show before "see more", use short paragraphs, and end with [CALL TO ACTION OR QUESTION]. Write in [TONE]. No hashtag walls (3 at most), no emojis in every line, no made-up numbers. Give me 2 alternative hooks for each post and say which one you would publish first and why.
What to change
- [YOUR ROLE AND INDUSTRY]: e.g. "a B2B sales manager in logistics" or "a freelance UX designer".
- [WHO READS YOUR POSTS]: Your audience, e.g. "founders of small SaaS companies" or "junior developers".
- [WHAT HAPPENED OR WHAT YOU LEARNED]: The raw material: a win, a mistake, a client conversation, a number from your work. A few sentences is enough.
- [CALL TO ACTION OR QUESTION]: e.g. "ask readers how they handle this" or "invite them to download my checklist".
- [TONE]: e.g. "direct and practical", "warm and honest", "dry humor".
Example result
- Post 1: Story
- Hook: We lost our biggest client on a Tuesday.
- We lost our biggest client on a Tuesday. 38% of our revenue, gone in one email.
- The reason was not price. It was not the product. Their new ops lead told me: "Every time I call, I talk to someone new."
- We had grown from 4 to 19 people in a year. Nobody owned the account anymore. Everyone helped a little.
- So we changed one thing. Every client now has one named person, and that person's photo is in every report we send.
- Six months later, two clients told us that is why they renewed.
- Growth adds people. It should not add strangers.
- How do you keep accounts personal as your team grows?
- Post 2: List
- Hook: 5 things I check before every renewal call
- 1. When did they last log in? Usage drops come before cancellations.
- 2. Who is the decision maker now? People change jobs more than you think.
- 3. What did we promise last year, and did we deliver it?
- 4. One number that shows the value they got.
- 5. One thing we will do better next year.
- Save this for your next renewal season.
- Post 3: Opinion
- Hook: "Customer success" is often a fancy word for apologizing.
- If your CS team spends most of its week fixing things sales promised, you do not have a success team. You have a complaints desk with a nicer title...
- Which to post first
- Post 1. A specific loss with a number gets more dwell time than advice, and it sets up posts 2 and 3 as follow-ups.
How to do it with todo.is
- Copy the prompt and fill in the [brackets] with your role, audience and the story behind the post.
- Paste it on the Today screen in todo.is, or send it to your agent on WhatsApp or Telegram when an idea hits you.
- Your agent replies with three full posts, extra hooks and a pick for which to publish first.
- Ask for edits like "shorter", "less formal" or "turn post 2 into a carousel", then copy it into LinkedIn and post it yourself.
Tips for a better result
- Feed it real details: a number, a name of a tool, a quote from a client. Specific posts get read, vague ones get scrolled past.
- The first two lines decide everything. Read only the hook and ask yourself if you would click "see more".
- Tell your agent "remember my LinkedIn voice" and paste two of your best past posts once, so every draft starts closer to you.
- Make it weekly: a recurring to-do every Monday at 8 that asks you for one story on WhatsApp and turns your reply into a post.
LinkedIn post generator: FAQ
- How long should a LinkedIn post be? Most strong text posts land between 100 and 250 words. What matters more is that the first line or two make people tap "see more".
- How many hashtags should I use on LinkedIn? Three or fewer relevant hashtags is plenty. Long hashtag lists look spammy and add little reach.
- Can todo.is post to LinkedIn for me? No. Your agent writes and polishes the posts, and you copy them into LinkedIn and publish them yourself.
- How often should I post on LinkedIn? Two or three good posts a week is a realistic rhythm for most people. Consistency beats volume.
