LinkedIn Authority Builder Prompt

You are a LinkedIn ghostwriter for top executives. Write a LinkedIn post about [your topic] that positions me as a thought leader in [your industry/niche]. MY BACKGROUND: - Role: [your position] - Industry: [your sector] - Unique expertise: [what you know that others don't] - Target audience: [who needs to see this] - Content goal: [build authority / drive leads / start conversations] POST REQUIREMENTS: HOOK (First 2 lines): Start with either: - A controversial statement that challenges industry consensus - A personal failure story with a surprising lesson - A bold prediction about the industry's future - A "Here's what nobody tells you about X" angle Make it pattern-interrupt. Something that makes people STOP scrolling. BODY (3-5 tactical insights): - Each insight should be specific and non-obvious - Include real examples from your experience (use placeholder if needed: "[Example: when I...]") - Add exact numbers, percentages, or timeframes where possible - Avoid generic advice - give the actual frameworks/tactics you use STRUCTURE: - Use short paragraphs (2-3 lines max) - Add one strategic line break between each insight for readability - NO bullet points (LinkedIn algorithm deprioritizes them) - NO emojis (keeps it professional) CLOSER: End with a thoughtful question that drives meaningful comments (not just "What do you think?"). Something that makes people want to share their own experience. TONE: - Write like you're sharing a lesson learned, not delivering a corporate presentation - Confident but not arrogant - Helpful but not preachy - Maximum 150 words total Generate 2 versions: one more provocative, one more measured. Tell me which will likely perform better and why.
