Stop Staring at a Blank Page: Use Templates to Write Better LinkedIn Posts
You’ve got something to say.
But the moment you open LinkedIn… your mind goes blank.
What should the first line be? How do you keep people reading? And how do you end with something that gets comments, not crickets?
That’s where templates come in. They don’t write the post for you. They give your ideas a place to land.
Why Using Templates Makes Writing Easier (and Better)
Most people spend more time figuring out how to write their post…
than actually writing it.
Templates remove that pressure.
They help you skip the “how” and go straight to the “what”.
Here’s what templates do for you:
- Speed up writing: You don’t need to build structure from scratch.
- Keep things clear: You know exactly where each part of your story fits.
- Make posts more engaging: Great posts follow proven patterns—templates help you copy those.
It’s like having a coach whispering:
“Start with this. Say that next. Now, close it strong.”
3 LinkedIn Posts, Broken Down by Template
(Intro only, since you have the rest)
Let’s look at 3 high-performing posts.
We’ll break down:
- Why they work
- What template they follow
- How you can use the same structure
Template 1: Opinion on current situation
What do I see…
I see [breakthrough]
I see [achievement 1]
I see [achievement 2]
I see [achievement 3]
I see [achievement 4]
As a [personal background]
Last week, [context]
He/she [precise action]
He/she [precise action]
I’m proud to [opinion]
Yet, [nuance]
Let this be [invitation to take action]
Always remember – [memorable quote]
I see [summarized achievement]
Why it works?
- repetitive structure: starting multiple sentences with “I see” creates rhythm and reinforces key points
- storytelling: keeps the readers engaged throughout
- personal connection: integrates the author’s own journey, create authenticity
Template 2: Changing Perspectives
[RELATABLE QUESTION TO ENGAGE READERS]
[why this question]
[past belief/misconception]
Then I realized [shift in thinking] and everything changed.
[emoji] they [positive action/benefit 1].
[emoji] they [positive action/benefit 2].
[emoji] they [positive action/benefit 3].
Overall, these [relationships/actions] have [personal impact].
[gratitude]
[pictures to illustrate]
Why it works?
- question hook: opens with a relatable question that encourages engagement
- bullet point visuals: uses emojis to break down benefits
Template 3: Harsh Truths
[#] [adjective] truths you need to hear as a [role/profession]:
You don’t [misconception]; you need [solution]
Doing [wrong action] is a recipe for [bad consequence]
If you [condition], then [result]
Most [situations] are [negative outcome] if [condition]
[concept] is not about [perceived meaning], it’s [true meaning]
You don’t have a [issue]; you have a [underlying issue]
What you call [practice] is actually [negative effect]
[common expectation] is often just [undesirable reality]
Most [everyday task/ritual] is [negative consequence]
[values] are empty without [action]
[common problem] isn’t as [important/urgent] as you think; focus on [solution]
Remember: [motivational principle]
Why it works?
- format for easy reading: numbered points make the content skimmable
- talk to the reader: “you” and no “a/an”
- bullet point visuals: uses emojis to break down benefits
- bold statements: each point is a direct, unapologetic truth that captures attention and provokes thought
