Drum roll, please!
Presenting: A treasure trove of LinkedIn content ideas that can turn heads and skyrocket your likes, comments, and shares.
Kick back and relax as we go over the 101+ LinkedIn post ideas that can turn your client’s feed into THE go-to place to get exciting, relevant, and engaging content.
A LinkedIn post that gets tons of engagement can include the following.
The headline is the first thing people see—and it can either convince audiences to keep reading or click away.
So keep your client’s headline catchy and interesting to turn heads and encourage audiences to read to the end.
Create an engaging headline by including a problem, benefit, or something that sparks curiosity and interest.
If you include a problem or benefit your client’s post will address, keep the words simple and relatable to target audiences.
When adding the curiosity hook, throw in some spice to spark the audience’s need to learn more. A curiosity hook usually goes with a benefit or problem.
Essentially, create a headline that highlights a benefit or problem. Keep it curiosity-driven and relatable to your clients’ target audiences.
The post’s body or content should deliver the benefit or address the problem included in your client’s headline.
For instance, you can reinforce the benefit you want to offer your clients’ readers in your content and fulfill the purpose of creating the post.
Take it from American Business Executive, Beth Comstock, who said…
“Whether B2B or B2C, I believe passionately that good marketing essentials are the same. We all are emotional beings looking for relevance, context and connection.”
Get a load of these tips when creating your LinkedIn post’s body:
Don’t leave money, or in this case, engagement and conversion opportunities, on the table by not adding a Call-to-Action (CTA).
A CTA is a specific phrase or line that encourages and leads your clients’ audiences to act on their desired actions.
Your clients can have great LinkedIn posts, but without a CTA, they can miss massive engagement and conversion opportunities.
Consider these time-tested tips when adding CTAs to your clients’ LinkedIn posts.
Include elements that boost engagement, such as:
You can also include links to your clients’ other social media profiles. This way, audiences can easily find Instagram URL and Facebook profile links to connect with your clients and engage with their content on other platforms.

A LinkedIn post can be a great way to promote your upcoming event, like a promo, flash sale, or webinar.
A good example is the Strategise for Success in 2024 webinar announcement post by social media strategy and content consultant Sophie Miller on LinkedIn.
The post shows all the event’s relevant details.
The icing on top? The post includes the webinar’s main topics and other information, such as the Q&A and live teaching—all in one poster image.
It’s a great way to tell audiences and potential participants what to expect from the event, facilitating engagement and sign-ups.
People love a personal story because it tugs on their heartstrings, gives people something they can resonate with, and inspires.
Cupsly founder Niall Cleaver’s post about being dyslexic and building a startup covers all these.
The post touches on the personal journey and triumph over having dyslexia. It helps inspire people with the same condition and other audiences to achieve their dreams and succeed.

While it’s great to vary your clients’ LinkedIn posts, not all content types or topics are appropriate.
Below are the LinkedIn posts you should avoid posting on your clients’ feeds.
It’s great to stir the pot once in a while and share content that makes audiences think.
However, don’t go overboard with posts that foster negative energy and can divide your clients’ audiences.
These posts can hurt your clients’ brands and reputations, causing them to lose leads and potential clients.
Examples of controversial posts include topics around or related to:
Unless these topics directly relate to your client’s industry, it’s best to steer clear of them and stick to valuable and relevant content for target audiences.
Additionally, don’t share information before fact-checking its credibility since this can be deemed false or misleading content that violates LinkedIn community policies.
Political and religious posts are not necessarily bad, but they can cause division, alienate some people, and spark heated debates.
It can also cause audiences to make assumptions about your clients, which isn’t always positive.
Instead of political or religion-related content, focus on industry-related posts that add value to your clients’ brands and provide benefits to target audiences.
You can also create posts that explain what your clients do and how they can solve potential customers’ needs.
Remember to keep everything professional and compliant with the LinkedIn Professional Community Policies.
Sprinkling personal content, such as announcing your client’s latest achievement or recent promotion, is great for connecting with LinkedIn audiences better.

However, don’t go overboard and share overly personal details and content since these can make your clients seem unprofessional.
Stick to generally personal yet professional content, such as:
LinkedIn is an excellent platform for B2B platforms.
But LinkedIn can be a more effective platform to build relationships, networks, authority, and a following instead of a space to pitch your clients’ products and services.
Sure, the ultimate goal of your clients’ LinkedIn posts can be to boost conversions and sales.
However, LinkedIn users respond better to content they can trust and provide them value than to a post that’s too sales-y.
Instead of aggressive sales pitch posts, create content that shares industry knowledge, solves a problem, and other topics relevant to your clients’ target audiences.
Too aggressive sales posts can be flagged as spam content, which the platform can limit or remove.
