LinkedIn Post Generator

(1) Scroll-stopping first line — LinkedIn shows only 2–3 lines before "See more"; (2) Relatable experience or surprising insight — not promotional; (3) Short paragraphs — 1–2 sentences, white space for mobile; (4) Question or opinion at the end — the algorithm rewards comments heavily; (5) Posted Tuesday–Thursday 8–10am in your audience's timezone. Reach is not about follower count — one viral post from 200 followers can outperform polished content from 20,000.

LinkedIn limit is 3,000 characters (~450 words). Most high-performing posts are 900–1,300 characters (130–200 words). Long enough for a complete story arc (situation → insight → takeaway), short enough to read in under 60 seconds. Very short posts under 300 characters can perform well if the insight is dense. Listicles work best at 2,500+ characters with clear numbering.

3–5 hashtags is best practice. More than 5 looks spammy. Place at the end of the post. Mix: one broad (#marketing), one medium (#contentmarketing), one niche (#saasmarketing). Avoid hashtag stuffing — the algorithm deprioritises posts that appear to game hashtags.

Hooks that stop the scroll: counterintuitive claim ("Working longer makes you less productive. Here's the data."), story teaser ("Last Tuesday I got fired. Best thing that happened to me."), list promise ("5 things I learned building to $1M ARR:"), bold opinion, or surprising stat. Must be in the first line — it's the only line visible before "See more".
