Post Templates That Still Work (And Why Most Don’t)

Jun 10, 2025
Connect

A few years ago, LinkedIn post templates were everywhere.

You probably downloaded some.
(Heck—you might’ve even downloaded some from me.)

But here’s the truth:

Most templates today sound … like templates.

 And if your post sounds like it came from a template, it won’t perform like it used to.

Why?

Because the worst thing you can do on LinkedIn…
is sound like everyone else.

As the platform grows more crowded, differentiation is your superpower.

But that doesn’t mean you need to start from scratch.
Some post templates still work—you just need to use the right ones.

Here are 5 of my top-performing formats that continue to get results:

📌 Post Template #1: The “Objection” Post
Goal: Overcome your audience’s top hesitation about working with you.
🔗 See it in action

📌 Post Template #2: The “Call Out” Post
Goal: Call out a pain point and offer a solution.
🔗 See it in action

📌 Post Template #3: The “How I Did It” Post
Goal: Share how you accomplished something others want to replicate.
🔗 See it in action

Want even more?

I’ve put together a downloadable version of these templates, complete with stats and performance notes.

It’s hosted by Taplio (no account needed!)

What’s something you’ve seen change on LinkedIn over time?

Hit reply—I’d love to hear what you’ve noticed (or what you miss).

 

My best posts are never about LinkedIn
I'm a LinkedIn ghostwriter. So this feels like admitting something I probably shouldn't. My best LinkedIn posts are never about LinkedIn. It's true. The posts that get the best engagement, the ones that occasionally go a little viral are about my personal life. My values. My kids. A piece of social commentary. Sometimes just a meme. (And "viral" is relative here. I'm no Taylor Swift.) The posts...
The metric nobody talks about
Why isn't anyone talking about profile views? It's a killer data point. Maybe the killer data point. And almost everyone ignores it in favor of the metrics that feel good but tell you nothing. Here's the question that actually matters: how many people are looking at my page? That matters a heck of a lot more to me than how many people are commenting on my posts. Why? Because 99% of my clients n...
You're Going to Use AI Anyway. Let's Talk About It.
  You're going to use AI, but I want to help you use AI better.  This isn't me shaming you. I use AI too. Daily. It's a phenomenal thinking partner. What I haven't let go of is the fear underneath it. Because there are two things AI takes from you: First: You never learn to write. Writing isn't the thing you do after you've figured out what you think. Writing is how you figure out what you thin...
