100 LinkedIn Post Prompts to Create Amazing Content

Never Run Out of LinkedIn Content Again

The hardest part of posting on LinkedIn isn't the writing. It's staring at that blank compose box with absolutely nothing coming to mind. Twenty minutes later you close the tab and tell yourself you'll post tomorrow. We've all been there.

So I put together 100 prompts to kill that problem for good. They're organized by category so you can find something that matches your mood, your expertise, and what your audience actually cares about. Bookmark this page. Come back whenever you're stuck.

And if you use TeamPost, you can feed any of these prompts into the AI draft generator to get a first draft, then make it sound like you.

How to Get the Most Out of These Prompts

Don't try to tackle all 100 at once. That's not the point. Here's what actually works:

• Pick 5 to 10 that immediately hit you. These are the ones where you already have a story or opinion ready to go. Start there.
• Write your answer, not the "right" answer. The prompts that crush it are the ones where you share real experience. Be specific. Real numbers, real names (when appropriate), real details. Nobody connects with vague advice.
• Batch your content. Block off 30 to 60 minutes once a week to draft several posts from these prompts. Schedule them throughout the week so you stay consistent without having to think about it every day.
• Come back to this list monthly. Prompts that didn't click today might hit different next month after a new experience or realization.

Honestly, consistency beats perfection on LinkedIn every single time. One real post a day builds more momentum than one perfect post a month.
