The prompt
Write a LinkedIn post that invites the community to contribute a concrete experience, and that is phrased so the comments themselves become more valuable than the post.
My topic: [TOPIC]
What I want to learn from the community: [CONCRETE QUESTION]
Audience: [AUDIENCE]
Format:
1. Trigger (2 lines): Why are you asking this question right now? What prompted it?
2. Your own upfront answer (3-5 lines): Provide your own experience or hypothesis as an anchor. That lowers the barrier to commenting.
3. The ask (2 lines): "I would love to learn how you handle [SPECIFIC QUESTION]. Who here has an experience that is not in the textbook?"
4. Format suggestion (3 lines): Propose an answer structure, e.g.: "Feel free to write in 3 lines: what you tried, what went wrong, what worked in the end."
5. Promise (1 line): "I will comment under every answer."
Then: Condition, you actually have to comment under every answer. Otherwise the format only works once.Replace the bracketed placeholders with your own details.
