About this exercise

You're a freelance copywriter turning your latest blog post into 3 short LinkedIn posts. Each post should copy the shape of your past post: a one-line hook, one or two short lines of advice, then a question to readers as the last line. Like your past post, use no hashtags and no emojis. Keep all 3 posts together under 110 words, plain text, and leave out the stat your editor flagged. Write a prompt that gets those 3 posts.

Common mistakes when you ask AI for this

  • Not showing your past post as the model. The AI writes the usual LinkedIn style: long posts, line after line of advice, and a "Thoughts?" tacked on. Try: Add: "Copy the shape of my past post: a one-line hook, 1-2 short lines, then a question to readers as the last line."
  • Using the flagged stat. "8 seconds" is the punchiest line in the blog, so the AI leads with it unless you say it's out. Try: Add: "Don't use the 8-second stat. Sam couldn't find a source."
  • Getting hashtags and emojis. AI adds them to every LinkedIn post by default, even though your past post has none. Try: Add: "No hashtags, no emojis, like my past post."
  • Trusting the AI to count words. AI is bad at counting. Ask for "under 110 words" and it often lands well over. Try: Cap each part: "each line under 12 words, 3 or 4 lines per post."
  • Getting labels in bold. AI bolds "Post 1" headings, and you'd have to clean up the asterisks before posting. Try: Add: "Plain text, no bold, no headings."

What a strong prompt includes

  • Points to your past post
  • Describes the shape
  • Drops the flagged stat
  • Rules out hashtags and emojis
  • Sets a word limit
