What should I post about on LinkedIn?

The overlap of what you know from doing your work and what your audience is trying to get better at. Lessons from real projects, processes you have refined, defensible opinions about your industry, stories with numbers in them. The reliable test: could a competitor post this word for word? If yes, it is a topic, not an idea. This generator writes angles specific enough to fail that test.

How does the idea generator work?

You give it your role, your niche, and optionally your audience. It returns seven post ideas, one per day of a posting week, each a specific angle in a sentence or two rather than a vague theme. The seven deliberately mix types: a lesson from experience, a how-to, a contrarian take, a story with a number, an industry observation, a question that invites real answers, and a behind-the-scenes look.

How often should I post on LinkedIn?

The honest answer is: at whatever frequency you can sustain for months, because consistency compounds and bursts do not. For most people that is two to four posts a week. A week of ideas from this generator, written in one sitting and spread across the week, beats seven daily improvisations.

What are content pillars, and do I need them?

Two or four subjects you return to on purpose, so your audience learns what you are for. Without pillars, a feed of one-off posts never accumulates into a reputation. The niche field in this generator is effectively asking for your pillars; the tighter you state them, the less interchangeable the ideas come back.

Is it free, and what happens to what I type?

Free, no account, with a daily cap that keeps it available for everyone. The three fields are sent once to generate the ideas and are not stored.

Can it base ideas on what already worked for me?

Not from this form; it knows your role and niche, not your history. Depost AI plans content against your actual analytics, so the calendar fills with more of what your audience has already shown it responds to, in your voice, scheduled into your week. This page is the version of that with the memory removed.

LinkedIn content idea generator

The blank page is the most reliable reason people stop posting. Give this generator your role, your niche, and who you are writing for, and it returns seven post ideas for a posting week. Not themes like 'talk about pricing' but angles like 'the pricing mistake we made in year one and the number it cost'.

Result

This is the shape of what comes back. Fill in the form, or hit "Try an example", and the grey turns into words.

Example run

A week of post ideas for a technical recruiter

One niche in, a posting week out. Each idea is a specific angle rather than a theme, which is what makes it writable on a Tuesday.

What went in

Your role or job title: Founder of a recruiting agency for developer roles
Your niche or topics: Technical hiring, interview design, why take-home tests filter out the wrong people
Your audience: CTOs and heads of engineering at startups

What came back

Idea 1 · Lesson

The hire that failed after a perfect interview: what the process measured, what the job actually needed, and the question we added because of it.

Idea 2 · How-to

How to design a 90 minute technical interview that predicts the first 90 days, walked through stage by stage.

Idea 3 · Contrarian

Take-home tests filter out the developers you want most. The strongest candidates have the least free time, and your test is competing with their evenings.

Idea 4 · Story

The candidate we nearly rejected who raised the whole team’s code review bar within a quarter, and the signal we almost missed.

Idea 5 · Observation

Every CTO says they hire for potential. The job ads still ask for five years of a seven year old framework. The gap says more than either.

Idea 6 · Question

What is the one interview question that has actually predicted performance on your team? Not the clever one, the predictive one.

Idea 7 · Behind the scenes

Our screening call script, published as-is: the three questions, what each one listens for, and the answer that ends the call early.

Why it matters

Posting stops when the ideas run out.

Consistency is what the platform pays, and the first thing to run out is never the writing. A bench of ideas in your own pillars is what makes weekly posting survivable.

Beyond the demo

This page writes from a form. The product writes from you.

The generator above works with whatever fits in a few fields. Connect LinkedIn to Depost AI, the AI content team B2B founders and teams run on LinkedIn, and the same kind of draft starts from your analytics, your voice, and the buyers you are actually trying to reach.

Drafts that start from your analytics

The agents read your posting history first: the hooks that earned the click, the pillars your audience answers, the rhythm of what worked. The draft sounds like you because it learned from you, not from a form.

A reply ready for every person who matters

Build custom lists of the people you want to stay visible to. Their new posts arrive in one feed with a comment drafted in your voice under each. You edit or approve every one before it goes anywhere.

From draft to published, without the paste

Finished drafts go to the queue and publish through LinkedIn’s official API, with the first comment written alongside. Connection notes and follow-ups are drafted with the context already in place. Nothing goes out until you approve it.

Why angles beat topics

"Post about hiring" is a topic, and topics do not get written, because a topic still contains the hard decision: what, specifically, to say. "The interview question we dropped after it filtered out two of our best hires" is an angle. It contains the post. You can see the opening line from here, and the writing becomes transcription rather than invention.

That is the standard the generator holds itself to, and it is also why the niche field rewards precision. "B2B marketing" produces angles that could belong to anyone in B2B marketing. "Positioning for developer tools that sell bottom-up" produces angles only a handful of people could write, and those are the ones that read as expertise rather than content.

From seven ideas to a posting week

The seven come deliberately mixed: experience, process, opinion, story, observation, question, behind-the-scenes. The mix is the point. A week of hot takes exhausts an audience; a week of how-tos reads like a documentation site. Alternating registers is what makes a feed feel like a person.

A workflow that holds up: pick the four or five angles that made you feel something (recognition, disagreement, the itch to explain), batch-write them in one sitting with the post generator on this site, then spread them across the week. Writing in batches keeps the quality even; publishing on schedule keeps the audience. The ideas you skip, keep. An angle that was wrong this week is often right the week the industry catches up to it.
