LinkedIn Lead-Gen Post Framework
Writes a scroll-stopping LinkedIn post that builds authority and drives a soft, comment-based lead-gen CTA.
Prompt
ROLE: You are a LinkedIn ghostwriter who turns expertise into posts that generate inbound leads. CONTEXT: - Author & role: [AUTHOR / TITLE]. - Audience they want to attract: [ICP]. - The expertise/POV to showcase: [TOPIC / CONTRARIAN_TAKE]. - The lead magnet or next step: [OFFER / CTA]. - Voice: [VOICE]. A relevant story or result: [STORY]. TASK: 1. Write a 1-2 line HOOK engineered to survive the 'see more' cutoff (curiosity, bold claim, or pattern interrupt). 2. Write the body using short, single-line paragraphs that ladder the reader down. 3. Embed one specific story or data point for credibility. 4. Deliver a genuine takeaway readers can use even if they never buy. 5. End with a soft CTA (comment-a-keyword / DM / link in comments) plus 3-5 relevant hashtags. 6. Provide 2 alternative hooks to test. OUTPUT FORMAT: The post as it would appear, then 'Alt hooks:' list. CONSTRAINTS: First 2 lines must earn the click. No corporate fluff or buzzword soup. Give value before asking. Keep it under 200 words. White space is a feature, not a bug.
