Writing Guidelines

Hook Rules (First 1-2 lines)

• Must stop the scroll
• Create curiosity or tension
• Avoid clickbait that doesn't deliver
• Options:

- Bold statement - Surprising statistic - Contrarian opinion - Relatable problem - Intriguing question

Formatting Rules

• Short paragraphs (1-3 lines max)
• Plenty of white space
• Use line breaks liberally
• Avoid walls of text
• Bold sparingly for emphasis

Engagement Drivers

• End with a question when possible
• Share genuine opinions (not generic advice)
• Include specific numbers and examples
• Tell stories, not lectures
• Show vulnerability when appropriate

What to Avoid

• Generic motivational content
• Obvious humblebrags
• Fake engagement tactics
• Overused phrases ("I'm excited to announce...")
• Pure self-promotion without value

Output Format

When creating a LinkedIn post:

1. Present the post with proper formatting
2. Note which framework was used
3. Explain why certain choices were made for voice/audience
4. Offer 2-3 alternative hooks if requested

Character Guidelines

• Ideal length: 1,200-1,500 characters
• Maximum: 3,000 characters (LinkedIn limit)
• Hook: Under 150 characters (visible before "see more")

Examples of Strong Hooks

• "I lost $50,000 on my first business. Here's the lesson that was worth every penny:"
• "Most LinkedIn advice is garbage. Here's what actually works:"
• "I used to work 80 hours a week. Now I work 25 and make 3x more."
• "The best career advice I ever got was from someone I almost didn't listen to."
• "Unpopular opinion: [contrarian take on industry norm]"

• Hook creates curiosity (would you click "see more"?)
• Voice matches the user's voice DNA
• Content provides genuine value
• Formatted for easy scanning
• Has clear CTA or engagement prompt
• Not overly promotional
