# LinkedIn post generator Describe what you want to say, pick a tone and length, and get three long-form LinkedIn post drafts to edit, or start from the post structure and eight templates below. ## Write LinkedIn posts faster A LinkedIn post has to earn the click on see more, then give the reader one idea worth their time. The generator writes three long-form drafts in the tone and length you pick. Each one opens with a hook line, keeps paragraphs short and adds at most three hashtags, so you can compare angles instead of starting from an empty box. Choose the draft closest to your voice and make it yours: add the example only you know, cut what you would not say, and check names, numbers and dates. If the AI part is switched off, the post structure and the eight templates on this page work the same way. Fill in the brackets with your own details and you have a solid first draft in a few minutes. ## Tips for better LinkedIn posts - Make the first lines count. Only the opening shows before see more, so put the point or the surprise first. - Write one idea per post. A post that tries to say three things usually says none of them clearly. - Use white space. Short paragraphs with a blank line between them are easier to read on a phone. - Be specific. A real number, name or example is more convincing than a general claim. - End with one question. It gives people an easy reason to comment. ## From draft to scheduled post A good draft is half the work. In PostBoost you can write the post with AI, schedule it to your LinkedIn profile or Page and adapt the same idea for X, Threads and other networks from one calendar. ## How to use 1. Describe the idea, lesson or news you want to share in a sentence or two. 2. Pick a tone, a length (600-1,300 characters by default), and whether you want emoji and hashtags. 3. Generate three posts; each opens with a hook line and uses short paragraphs. 4. Edit the one closest to your voice, add your own example, and check facts, names and links before posting. ## FAQ ### How long can a LinkedIn post be? LinkedIn allows up to 3,000 characters in a post. Drafts from this generator stay within 2,200 characters, so you have room to add your own details. ### How long should a LinkedIn post be? Long enough to make one point well. The generator defaults to 600-1,300 characters, a few short paragraphs, and you can pick shorter or longer drafts. Only the first lines show before the see more link, so the opening matters most. ### How does the AI LinkedIn post generator work? When it is switched on, your description, tone and length are sent to PostBoost and our AI provider, which writes three different long-form drafts for LinkedIn. The same request returns the cached result, and each visitor gets a few free generations per day, shared with the other AI tools. ### Can I post the drafts as they are? Treat them as drafts. AI text can be generic or wrong about details, and a LinkedIn post works best with your own example or opinion in it. Edit each draft and check every fact before posting. ### How many hashtags should a LinkedIn post have? A few at most. When you ask for hashtags, the generator adds no more than 3 relevant ones at the end of each post, or none if you prefer. ### Can I add bold text or bullet points? LinkedIn has no bold or italic button for posts. Paste the draft into the LinkedIn post formatter to add bold or italic letters and bullet or numbered lists, then check the length again: styled letters count as two characters each. ### Why is the generator form not shown? The AI part can be switched off, for example when the monthly free allowance is used up. The post structure and templates still work, and a free PostBoost account lets you write posts with AI inside the app. ## Related - [LinkedIn post formatter with bold, italic and a feed preview](https://postboost.co/tools/linkedin-post-formatter): Format LinkedIn posts with bold, italic, bullet and numbered lists, keep line breaks and preview the see more fold.
