In short
A template gives you the order, so you spend your effort on the content. Replace the brackets with your own details. Keep it specific: a template filled with vague words reads like a template.
1. The mistake
"[Specific mistake]. It cost me [what it cost]. Now I [what you do instead]. [Question for the reader]."
2. The checklist
"Before [situation], I check [number] things: [item], [item], [item]. It takes [time]. Save it for next time."
3. The myth
"Myth: [common belief]. What I see instead: [what happens]. Here is how I handle it: [your approach]. [Question]."
4. The decision
"We decided to [decision]. Why: [reason]. What we gave up: [cost]. What we would check before doing it again: [check]."
5. The lesson
"[Short advice you were given]. I did not get it until [moment]. Now [what you do]."
6. The question
"I am trying to decide [choice]. The options are [A] and [B]. What I know: [facts]. What would you ask before choosing?"
Templates for carousels
The checklist and the myth templates work better as slides, one item per slide. See 10 LinkedIn carousel structures.
Questions
Are LinkedIn post templates a good idea?
Yes for the order of the post. The words should still be yours, with real details, so it does not read like a template.
