Hey rebel solopreneurs 🦸♀️🦸♂️
Most creators spend 3 hours crafting LinkedIn posts manually.
They write one version for their LinkedIn. Test it. Rewrite it. Still get buried in the feed.
Smart ones run one prompt in 90 seconds and get 3 viral-ready formats automatically.
⛳️ Why this works
LinkedIn rewards engagement. But engagement means hitting different reader preferences.
Some readers love frameworks. Step-by-step stuff they can use right away.
Others want stories. Personal journeys showing the transformation.
Many just want lists. Quick, scannable insights they digest in 30 seconds.
Here's the thing...
Your LinkedIn content is like fishing with different lures.
Most creators toss out one post type. Framework. Story. List. Hope someone bites.
But readers aren't all the same.
Framework lovers scroll past your story. Story lovers skip your list. You're missing 2 out of 3 readers every time.
The Hook-Point-Action method fixes this. Top LinkedIn creators use it to pull 100K+ impressions monthly.
When you run the prompt below, you get all 3 formats from one topic. Same message. Three delivery styles.
You're not guessing which format works anymore. You're testing all three. Catching framework readers, story readers, list readers.
Triple your reach with the same effort.
Turns out, format variety beats one-size-fits-all every time. BAM.
Let's see how Ryan figured this out...

Ryan runs a productivity newsletter for solopreneurs.
But here's his problem. LinkedIn posts took forever.
He'd brainstorm an idea. "Time management for busy founders." Then stare at the screen.
Should he write a framework? Break down his 5-step system?
Or tell a story? How he went from 80-hour weeks to 40?
Or just list quick tips? "7 ways to save 10 hours weekly"?
No clue which format would work best.
So he'd write one version. Post it. Hope it lands.
Most times? Crickets.
30 likes. Maybe 2 comments. Hours of work for zero traction.
His LinkedIn posts were dying in the feed. No engagement. No new subscribers. No growth.
Then Ryan's friend mentioned something. A framework from multi-million dollar LinkedIn creators. Something called Hook-Point-Action.
Changed everything.
Ryan decided to follow these steps:
Step 1: Generate 3 post formats using his topic
Step 1: Generate framework, story, and list posts instantly
Ryan opened ChatGPT/Claude (his AI sidekick).
He needed LinkedIn posts that got engagement. Not just views. Actual likes, comments, shares.
But wait. Which format should he use?
Framework? Story? List?
No clue.
Every post was a gamble. Pick one format. Cross fingers. Post. Wait.
Here's what he tried...
The hook-point-action prompt
Act as an expert ghostwriter.
You are an expert in writing, behavioral psychology, and helping people.
You provide advanced and uncommon insights.
Your words read like a slippery slope, each word leading to the next to keep the reader sliding into the post.
TOPIC = [INSERT YOUR TOPIC HERE]
TASK =
I'd like you to write 3 actionable posts about the topic:
- 1 Framework
- 1 Story in 1st person
- And 1 Listicle
Each post should follow the "Hook-Point-Action" framework.
Here's how it works:
HOOK: The most important part of the post is the Lead-In or Hook.
- It should be 5 sentences long
- Each sentence should be concise and clear.
- The key to writing a great hook is the very last sentence. It needs to give the reader a reason to click and read more by:
- Telling the reader very specifically what you're going to give them
- Being very specific about the outcome. We want tangible, noun-oriented outcomes
- Hint at what's to come (and the payoff for reading).
- Get the reader to think, "Wait...what?" so they lean in with interest, intrigue, and are carried through the rest of the content.
Here's an example hook, so you know what I'm looking for:
"Nike, Pokémon, and James Patterson have 1 thing in common:
A storytelling engine.
They produce hit after hit using the exact same narrative structure.
Here's step-by-step how you can create your own:"
POINT: After the Lead-In, you will dive into the main points of the post.
- Use single-sentence paragraphs to hook readers quickly.
- Bullets & quick lists are your friend.
- Always separate ideas clearly.
- Each point needs to keep attention and give some kind of reason to keep reading.
- Aim for 5-8 main points in the post.
- Transition smoothly between each point to create cohesion.
- End the section with a big takeaway for the reader and a reason to believe.
Here's a template to follow for each main point:
"{Main Point}
{Why it works}
- {Sub-point #1}
- {Sub-point #2}
- {Sub-point #3}
{Transition to the next point}"
Repeat the above pattern for each main point in the post, then wrap up the post with the following template:
"{Big Takeaway}
{Reason to Believe}"
ACTION: Finally, at the very end, you want to ask the reader a relevant questions to create engagement.
- Ask people to reply with a question or a big takeaway.
- Or draw out opinions and insights.
- Or ask them what you missed.
A Few Rules:
- Write 50-100 words
- Bias toward short, concise sentences. But vary length to make it engaging.
- Use 12 words maximum per sentence.
- Avoid buzzwords and jargon.
- Avoid being salesy or overly enthusiastic
- Avoid hashtags.
- Avoid emojis.
- The post should read naturally. Avoid labels (e.g. Actions, Hook, Point, Why it works, etc.)
- Keep the structure (line spacing) of the examples.
Remember: Create cohesion. Your words read like a slippery slope, each word leading to the next to keep the reader sliding into the post. Transition smoothly between each point.
