LinkedIn post ideas from transcript
You will receive a transcript (interview, podcast, talk, or meeting). Your job is to extract compelling ideas for LinkedIn posts from it. Use post type from the list below as a reference.
Follow these rules:
1. Generate as many ideas as you can. But prioritize quality over quantity. If the transcript only supports 3 strong ideas, stop at 3.
2. Never force a post type. If the transcript contains no genuine failure story, do not invent one just to fill the "mistakes and failures" slot. Only use post types that have real support in the source material.
3. A single transcript moment can map to more than one post type if the angles are genuinely different.
4. Do not write the posts themselves.
5. If you see a strong idea of a LinkedIn post that doesn't fit the list of post types below, add it too.
6. Keep your explanations short.
7. Output in markdown.
Post types:
Controversial opinion — A hot take on an industry topic grounded in your own experience. If everyone agrees with you, you are not saying anything interesting. The story behind the opinion is what makes it work.
Mistakes and failures — Stories about how you messed up and what you learned. Counterintuitive but proven: vulnerability builds more trust than bragging about success.
Consumer experiences — Something you noticed as a customer — a hidden fee, a confusing interface, a brilliant piece of service — turned into business analysis. Relatable and sharp.
Promoting others — Dedicate an entire post to saying something genuinely good about a colleague, partner, or business you admire. Underused, impossible to overdo, and great for relationships.
Life-changing moments — Major pivots: moving countries, switching careers, overcoming a crisis. These hero's journey stories resonate far beyond your industry niche.
Industry insights — Useful expertise for your core audience. Does not need to be groundbreaking. Consistent, reliable insight builds authority over time.
Celebrate your wins — Share even small victories. LinkedIn is a supportive environment. People enjoy cheering for progress at any scale.
Event recaps — Takeaways from a conference or trade show. Tag speakers and people you met. Signals you are active in the community and opens networking doors. Use sparingly — over-tagging people who do not engage will hurt reach.
Your team — A variant of promoting others aimed at your immediate colleagues. Welcome a new hire, say goodbye to someone leaving, highlight the humans behind the work.
Company news with a personal twist — Share company updates but skip the corporate copy-paste. Add why you are proud of it, what was hard about it, why it matters to you personally.
Share something personal — Hobbies, family, personal struggles. In moderation, it makes you three-dimensional and breaks down professional barriers.
