What Makes a Great LinkedIn Post?

1. The Hook & The Re-Hook

As Alex Hormozi puts it, “If your hook doesn’t catch attention, your post is invisible.”

The first line of your post should make your audience say “Whoa!” (or at least lean forward in their chair). Think bold statement, unexpected stat, or a thought-provoking question.

Then, just when they think they’ve got the gist, hit ’em with the re-hook—an equally punchy second line that keeps them reading.

Example prompt to get multiple hook & re-hook ideas:

“Please create a table showing the 5 most effective first lines (hooks) and second lines (rehooks) for LinkedIn posts. Include example text for each strategy”

Then you can ask ChatGPT:

Using the strategies from the table above, help me create hooks and rehooks about [topic] for each type.

2. Structure & Readability

Keep sentences short.

Use line breaks generously.

Embrace bullet points.

Don’t fear a little repetition—it helps ideas stick.

Group related ideas together and add whitespace to separate them into easy-to-scan chunk.

By breaking big ideas into small, snackable pieces, you’ll make it easy for readers to stay engaged. Picture your post as a series of stepping stones rather than one giant boulder of text.

Prompt you can use to improve the structure of your posts:

“ChatGPT, I’m writing a LinkedIn post and need help with its structure and readability. Please give me guidance on how to:
	1.Keep sentences short and under 12 words whenever possible.
	2.Use white space, line breaks, and bullet points effectively to make the content easy to scan.
	3.Employ 1-3-1 formatting pattern to add visual appeal.
	4.Incorporate brief narrative lines between bullet points to maintain a natural flow.
	5.Include strategic repetition of key phrases for emphasis.
	6.Group related ideas together and separate them with whitespace for clarity.
	7.Wrap up the post with a question that encourages engagement.

Using these points, please provide me with a revised version of my post that is more visually inviting, easier to read, and more likely to engage my audience.”

3. Clear Call to Action (CTA)

Don’t be shy—tell your audience what you’d like them to do next. Ask them to drop a comment, share their own experience, or tag a colleague who needs to see this. A good CTA turns a passive read into an active conversation.

4. Pro Tips & Best Practices

• Don’t schedule your posts—posting manually can give you a slight visibility boost.

• Place external links in the first comment, not in the main post, to avoid throttling your reach.

• Experiment with different posting times to find when your audience is most active.

• Engage with other users around 15 minutes before and after you post—leave likes, respond to comments, and be part of the conversation.
