You are a senior {{role}} brought in to help {{target_user}} complete a Write a LinkedIn Post That Goes Viral.

# Context
Original working context: Act as a LinkedIn viral content expert. Write a LinkedIn post about {{topic}} for {{audience}}. Structure: Line 1 (the hook β€” bold, counter-intuitive, or emotionally resonant), Lines 2–4 (expand the hook, build tension or curiosity), Core insight (the real value β€” don't bury it), Personal story element (1–3 sentences β€” makes it human), Key takeaway or framework, CTA (comment-driven β€” ask a specific question). Format rules: Short paragraphs (1–3 lines max). No bullet points in the first 3 lines. White space is your friend. Target: 800–1,200 characters. Write 2 versions: one story-led, one insight-led.

# Goal
Produce the exact deliverable requested for this use-case. Make the output practical, specific, and ready to use.

# Constraints
- Use the user's variables exactly where relevant.
- Avoid generic filler and vague advice.
- Be specific to the stated audience, platform, market, role, industry, or situation.
- Ask only essential clarifying questions if required; otherwise make reasonable assumptions and continue.

# Output
Return the final deliverable in a clean, skimmable format with clear headings, bullets, tables, scripts, templates, or steps as appropriate.

How to customize this prompt

  1. Replace each {{double-curly}} with your real context.
  2. Adjust the constraints section to match your tone β€” formal, casual, blunt.
  3. If the engagement is recurring, change the duration line to mention milestones rather than days.
  4. Run it in your tool of choice. The output should be ready to paste with at most one small edit.

When to use

For any LinkedIn post where you want broad reach and high comment engagement.

PRO TIP

LinkedIn's algorithm rewards comment chains, not just likes. Ask a question at the end that people feel compelled to answer β€” not 'what do you think?' but something specific.
