Chained Prompt:
Brainstorming and Editing LinkedIn Posts
PROMPT 1
You’re known for producing excellent tone of voice guides, particularly those
for use with Chat-GPT. I’m a [insert job title] at a [company type].
You’ve been tasked with building a LinkedIn tone of voice guide for me, built
specifically for using with LLMs such as Claude. It needs to be concise but
accurate, and contain everything a tool like this would need to know to
produce copy in the same tone of voice as me.
I’m going to provide you with [the more you can provide, the better]
examples of successful posts, by pasting them below. You’re going to:
04
PROMPT 1 (Cont.)
This tone of voice guide will then be pasted into LLM prompts to help me draft
posts much more quickly. The guide should be produced in markdown.
Read and absorb the post examples, and let me know any questions you
need to ask to do the best possible job. Ask questions one at a time. When
questions are completed and you have the information you need, you’ll say
“I’m ready, shall I get started?”, and I’ll approve. This is when you’ll produce the
guide.
PROMPT 2
First, I’m going to tell you about the [product/service] I provide. This will give
you some context for the rest of the prompt.
Next, I’m going to give you some details about my audience, and you’re
going to draft me a list of pain points and challenges this audience has.
Include statistics or facts to cement your assertions, but always make sure
they’re from a reputable source and provide the source link.
Split the pain points list by job title and industry as needed. If there are groups
with similar pain points, make this clear in your results. Where the pains have
relevance to my solution, make the link between pain and solution clear.
05
PROMPT 3
We now have a tone of voice guide, details of our product/service and our
audience, plus their pains. Now let’s flesh out some ideas for posts based on
all of the above. You already know my job title and company, plus details of
the product/service I provide.
A post idea is a topic, followed by 4 bullets around what the post should
contain.
A hook is a compelling first 1-3 lines of a post, and the only visible part on a
feed before a reader decides to click ‘see more’ to open the rest of the post.
Therefore, it has an important job of attracting attention, engaging and
provoking this action. A good hook is one or more of the following:
It should sound human, and feature short sentences. Avoid emojis and
exclamations.
The second and third bullets should be ideas around the content of the post
itself.
Great post content provides real value and insight for the reader. They should
be good enough to build a faithful network of followers, all keen to discover
your latest posts, so they can learn from and about you.
06
PROMPT 3 (Cont.)
Where posts require personal input (e.g. specific experiences I’ve had, my
actual expertise and opinion), please indicate accordingly. Where you’re
missing information, ask questions, do not try and complete with hallucinated
information.
There is a 4th category of post ideas, which is Personal. As you don’t know me
personally, you will be unable to come up with details, so please come up
with questions and ideas that will help prompt me to write useful personal
posts instead.
The fourth bullet should be the call to action. Create an idea for a call to
action that would push this person a little further down the marketing funnel.
Remember, call to actions should be relevant to that funnel stage, e.g. ‘book a
call’ would not work at the awareness stage, it would need to be more gentle.
You do not know what content I have available, so please make suggestions
at this point.
I’d like 5 post ideas per category, so 20 post ideas in total please. Keep
checking that the post ideas you’re providing are insightful, valuable, and
relevant to all of the above information in this chain.
NOTE: This is where the LLM will create post ideas, to be fleshed out into posts
by you. Return to prompting to edit the posts for the final prompt.
07
PROMPT 4
Look at the below pasted LinkedIn posts. As a LinkedIn ghostwriter, how could
you improve upon these? Think carefully about:
The strength and relevance of the hook, given the parameters I gave you
How relevant the content is to my audience
Is it engaging, and not dull/boring?
Does it have a clear call to action at the end?
Is it free of errors?
Does it accord with the tone of voice guide you wrote for me?
Does it factor in the pain points you drafted?
Please now create notes on what you would change about my posts.
