LinkedIn post ideas: what to post and how to never run out

Where to find ideas

1. Questions you were asked this week. If one person asked, others wonder.
2. Mistakes you made and what you changed.
3. Things you explained twice. A repeated explanation is a post.
4. Decisions, with the reasoning, including the ones you got wrong.
5. Comments on other people's posts that turned into long replies.

15 prompts to start from

Turn an idea into a post

Short idea, then the format. A list or a process works as a carousel, a single rule as an image post. For formats that get saved, see 10 LinkedIn post formats.

Keep a list

Keep one note on your phone called Post ideas. Add a line whenever something happens that you would tell a colleague. Ten minutes a week turning two of them into drafts is enough.
