50 ideas for LinkedIn posts
Posted: Mon Dec 23, 2024 6:51 am
I can't even count how many times a week my clients, with whom I have personal consultations , ask me:
"Tanja, tell me what I should post on Linkedin?!"
The hardest part is always creating content. That's why in today's article I'll try to write some guidelines for posting on LinkedIn.
Are you ready? Come on.
1. Share what inspires you.
Write a post about where you get inspiration (on a walk in the park, while exercising, when you read a great book or article). Maybe you're inspired by a coach, a celebrity, an influencer, or your grandmother.
2. Write a post answering frequently asked questions from your customers.
Such posts can have a really strong message and a big response.
You get bonus points if you tag the person who asked the question!
3. Tell us what the future holds for your industry.
We all want to know what's going to happen in the future. Share your predictions about how things will change in your industry, what the future holds for businesses, etc.
4. Ask your followers what they think about the content.
Share your opinion on important content posted by someone else and ask your followers if they agree or disagree.
5. Write a list of the top 10...
For example:
10 most important lessons learned
Top 10 favorite books
10 main reasons why something doesn't work
10 main reasons why you procrastinate on important things
There are a million options available.
Bonus points: add a question at the end asking followers what they would add to this list.
6. Create or share an infographic.
This is the easiest way to present data in a simple and understandable way. Use Canva to create your own infographic.
EXAMPLE
How do you create such graphics HERE!
7. Tell the story of how you got to where you are now.
What was your journey like?
How have you progressed?
What did you have to learn?
What obstacles did you have to overcome?
EXAMPLE
8. Write a welcome message for new followers.
If you're gaining followers quickly, post something occasionally to welcome them, tell them what to expect on your page, and give them some basic advice.
9. Tell me what tools you use to make your work easier.
What tools do you use? Why?
Bonus points if you tag companies!
10. Post a tip with the help of the group.
For example: ask 10 employees at your company what the best advice active phone number list would be for someone looking to enter your industry. You instantly have a post, for example:
"10 things experts recommend for a good business"
11. Repost.
Find out which post was the most successful six months ago. Repost it! (don't share the old one, repost it)
12. Present the history of your company or brand.
...and what meaning it has for you.
EXAMPLE:
13. Share what you learned from the last book you read.
Bonus points : Ask followers if they've read this book before, and what they learned.
14. Share a fun fact from your favorite podcast.
Bonus points: tag the podcast host!
15. Share your experiences.
Where were you five years ago? 10 years ago? What do you wish you knew then that you know now?
16. Share tips on what your followers need to START doing.
17. Share advice on what your followers need to stop doing.
18. Share your biggest challenge of the week.
19. Share your biggest failure of the week.
20. Share your biggest win of the week.
21. Pros/cons.
Compare two strategies, tools, etc. with a list of pros and cons.
22. Post a list of people you admire and inspire you.
Who do you follow and why? Tag them!
23. Share a screenshot you recently saved.
Maybe it was a tweet, a quote, a thought you wrote down, or simply something you found valuable.
24. Highlight companies that are successful.
What can you learn from them?
Bonus points: tag them!
25. What would happen if...
Think about how things could change and structure your post accordingly.
Example: What would be the result if X happened instead of Y?
26. Share the tools you use to better organize your time.
27. Share your morning routine, work routine, or how you plan your day.
28. Plan.
Present a step-by-step plan for how to achieve or overcome something.
29. Describe an obstacle you had to overcome.
30. Reshare the tweet.
For some reason, screenshots of tweets work really well on all platforms, including LinkedIn. It's probably a result of our dwindling attention spans...
31. Share a milestone.
Or brag about something you're passionate about. Yes, you're allowed to brag on LinkedIn.
32. Conduct an interview with a team member.
Or with your boss. Or with your client. What can you learn from them?
33. Post a summary of what you learned at the last event you attended.
34. Company news or product update.
If you have loyal customers, update them every now and then. But don't sell, be informative and educate your followers.
35. Lists.
Good lists are easy for your followers to use.
36. Go backstage.
Showcase the process you went through when creating content, show off your office, describe a recent experience at an event - these are all good behind-the-scenes topics to present.
37. Promote your service.
But do this sparingly. Only ~1 post out of every 20 should be promotional.
38. Comment.
Comment on someone else's post. Engagement IS content!
39. Ask an open-ended question.
And watch how the discussion develops!
40. Share quick tips.
41. Share a quote.
And explain why this quote is special to you.
