The prompt
Craft a LinkedIn post whose sole purpose is to ask a question that still gets comments 5 days later.
My topic area: [TOPIC AREA]
Audience: [AUDIENCE]
Deliver 5 question candidates, each following this pattern:
1. Setup (2-3 lines): Brief context on why the question is interesting right now.
2. The question (1-2 lines, set on its own line): As specific as possible, not generic.
3. Optional icebreaker (1 line): Your own mini answer, so readers have an anchor.
Criteria for a good sticky question:
- It has no single right answer.
- It forces self-reflection, not opinion recital.
- It works even for people without specialized industry knowledge.
- It can be answered in 30 seconds, but elaborated for 5 minutes.
Finally: Sort the 5 candidates by expected comment depth (not quantity). Justify in 1 sentence.Replace the bracketed placeholders with your own details.
