How to Write a LinkedIn Post That Gets Comments with AI

Comments show LinkedIn that a post sparks conversation, and conversations bring you real connections. A post with 30 thoughtful comments is often worth more than one with 300 silent likes.

People comment when they have something to add, not when they are told to.

• A common mistake in your field
• A lesson you learned the hard way
• A trend you have a clear opinion on
• A question everyone in your industry argues about

Give me ten LinkedIn post ideas for [role] in [industry] that people would have opinions about. Avoid generic advice.

Only the first lines show before “see more.” Make them specific and a little surprising.

Weak

“Here are some thoughts on hiring.”

Strong

“I hired the wrong person three times. The problem was my job ad.”

• Hook: the surprising line
• Story: what happened, in a few short lines
• Lesson: what you learned
• Takeaway: what the reader can do
• Question: an open invitation to share

Posts that say what everyone says get scrolled past. Take a clear, fair position and explain why.

• Short paragraphs of one or two sentences
• Space between paragraphs
• Plain words, no jargon
• Keep most posts under 1,300 characters

Weak

“Thoughts?”

Strong

“What is one hiring signal you trust more than a CV?”

Here is my draft LinkedIn post. Keep my voice and story. Make the first two lines stronger, cut anything generic, and suggest three closing questions people would genuinely want to answer.

• Write the story yourself; AI cannot know your experience
• Remove phrases that sound like AI
• Check every fact and number

• Reply in the first hour with real answers, not “thanks”
• Ask follow-up questions to keep the thread going
• Thank people who disagree respectfully

• “Comment YES if you agree”
• Engagement pods and fake comments
• Posts that only exist to argue

These may get numbers, but they damage trust.
