Checklist

The LinkedIn post check before you publish

How to use this checklist

The bodyOne idea: If there are two, save the second for another post.
The endingA clear point: The reader knows what you want them to take away.
The voiceWords you would use in a conversation.
For ghostwriters checking a client draftTheir story, not yours: Every example comes from the client's interviews or notes.
The first hour after postingStay around to reply to the first comments.

What should you check before posting on LinkedIn?

That the first line makes sense alone, the post holds one idea, the ending makes one clear ask and it sounds like the person whose name is on it.
