I'm sitting here typing this as I sittervise my kids while they’re swimming in the pool.
I could work all day with views like these.
We’re on vacation this week at Anna Maria Island. If you haven’t been, you should go. It’s fabulous with a capital F.
You might be on vacation this week too (physically or mentally lol), so let's keep this week’s newsletter simple.
Here are three brand-new LinkedIn post prompts to take the guesswork out of your upcoming content schedule.
1. The reply that landed
A message you sent this week that got a good reaction. This could be a Slack note, an email, a DM where someone wrote back, "That's so helpful." That reaction means it’s worth sharing.
How to implement: Copy the gist of what you wrote. Clean up the names and get rid of any private details. Add one line of context at the top so a stranger understands why it matters, then post it. You already did the thinking once. This is mostly a copy-and-paste job.
2. The meme with a point
Summer's slow, so it’s a good time to keep it light and still show up in the newsfeed. A good meme earns attention, and your caption is what turns that laugh into something people can actually use.
How to implement: Start with a meme that nails a feeling your audience knows well, then write 2 or 3 lines that name the frustration and offer a quick tip to fix it.
For example: the "this is fine" dog in the burning room, captioned "me watching my reach and engagement tank in the summer." Then underneath: Summer dips are normal, and the people who stay a little visible now are the ones who stay current, no matter the season. One useful post a week is plenty.
3. The thing you'd normally keep to yourself
Talk about a simple shortcut, template, or system you use that saves you time. The way you structure a certain email, the checklist you run before closing out the week, the three questions you ask in every kickoff call. This is the stuff you do on autopilot that someone else might find helpful.
How to implement: Pick one. Write out the actual steps in the order you do them, so a reader could copy it that same day. Skip the backstory and get straight to the useful part. The whole point is that they can use it today.
If you use any or all of these prompts, DM me so I can engage.
Happy summer and happy posting!
