13 LinkedIn Post Ideas For Your Next Post

1. Share Your Success Stories 

People love to hear success stories and connect with it on a personal level. Share your professional accomplishments, whether it is a project you successfully completed, an award you received, or a milestone your company achieved. Keep it humble but inspiring so that it does not look as if you are bragging about yourself. 

To write a success story that performs well, start with a good introduction and then add the problem that was faced by your customer and how your product helped them and end your story with a call to action.

If you want to post on LinkedIn from a business account, you can share success stories like acquisition of new clients or increase in the number of customers. We leverage this type of LinkedIn post for our business account on LinkedIn. You can see that almost every month we have posted on LinkedIn to share our new client acquisition report.

2. Try to Write Educational Content

LinkedIn is a place where professionals and individuals seek knowledge from posts. Share informative articles or posts, industry insights, or quick tips related to your field. Sharing relevant and valuable information establishes you as an expert in your niche and people will refer to your profile if they have information. 

While writing educational content it is important that you define your niche, research properly and write in concise and easy to understand language. That way readers will prefer your content over people who write in complex sentences. 

Education posts on LinkedIn can be in the form of a simple written post with an image or infographics, a carousel or video content.

Following is an example of how educational LinkedIn post should be like:

3. Write Behind the Scene Scenarios of Your Company

Give your audience a glimpse on what goes behind the scenes in your company. Share photos or stories that showcase your company’s culture, values, and team spirit. It humanises your brand and attracts like minded professionals. People will feel as if they know your brand personally and feel more connected to you. 

Behind the scenes cases are easy to write as they do not need to be perfect. They should be presented as it is without any extra fillers so you can also use quirky language while writing.

4. Ask Questions Related to Your Industry

Engage your audience by asking questions related to your industry or current events going on in the world. Encourage discussions and exchange of ideas. For example, “What do you think the future of remote working looks like?” or What is Google E-E-A-T. These types of thought provoking questions will help in better engagement and also build your credibility. 

When writing questions in your post, always ensure that you also provide the answer to the question from your point of view as well and avoid being too opinionated.

5. Celebrate Milestones Through Posts 

Whether it is your work anniversary, your company’s birthday, or reaching a certain number of followers, celebrate milestones with your network. It is a great way to show gratitude and connect with your audience. Additionally, your audience will also get to know about your success and milestones and will be able to connect with your brand. 

You can share your journey on how you reached that particular milestone and the hardships or challenges you faced along the way and how you overcame them. 

6. Recommendations and Testimonials

If you have had a positive experience working with someone, give them a shoutout by writing a recommendation or testimonial through a LinkedIn post. It will be a win-win situation for you as you will be helping someone in their career and it will reflect positively on your network.

If you are a company then you can ask your customers to give you recommendations and or feedback and you can add them to your profile which will build your authenticity.

7. Personal Achievements

Beyond professional achievements, one of the best LinkedIn post ideas is to share personal milestones like for example you completed a marathon, or you wrote a book, or achieved a personal goal. It humanizes you and gives insights into your life and helps your network connect with you on a personal level.

One thing that should be kept in mind is not to share achievements that do not showcase who you are as a person, for example, you won a panipuri eating competition. Do not write about that. Share things which helped you grow as an individual. However, LinkedIn is a social media platform for professional so sharing a post on achievement would be improper on Linkedin. It is best to share your professional achievements on this platform, like completion of a certification. You can see the below image to know how personal achievement related LinkedIn post look like:
