Tips for Creating LinkedIn Content

At first, I committed to posting a lot. I focused on volume and gradually improved over time.
It wasn't too scary since I had already written and published on Medium, but I did feel a bit nervous about keeping up with a daily posting schedule.
The best advice: Just do it, over and over again.
I’ve been posting every day for over a year now, and it’s only getting more fun.
Here’s what I recommend:

1. Capture notes and ideas

  • Inspiration can hit at any time, so it’s important to write ideas down right away.
  • Whether it’s from something you read, a conversation, or just a thought you have, jot it down as soon as it comes to you.
  • I use Notion for this because it’s easy to organise and I can always refer back to it later.
  • This way, when it’s time to write, you won’t be scrambling for ideas—you’ll have a collection of thoughts to draw from.

2. Set up a content calendar

  • Plan your posts in advance, even if it’s just for a week or two.
  • A content calendar keeps you organised and on track.
  • Build a backlog of content so you’re not scrambling at the last minute.
  • When life gets busy or you’re feeling uninspired, you’ll have posts ready to go.

3. Build a writing habit

  • Write consistently, even if it’s just a small post.
  • The more you write, the easier it gets.
  • It helps you improve your communication, build your personal brand, and find your voice.
  • Writing on LinkedIn is less stressful than Instagram—you don’t have to worry about images, captions, or hashtags.
