LinkedIn articles are amazing.
They allow you to post content – article style – right at the comfort of your own LinkedIn account.
And they automatically get shown to your followers, saving you the trouble of having to link to a website or do extreme content marketing on LinkedIn.
Hand’s down we recommend them.
However, just like any piece of content, you can still be prone to writer’s block

Here’s how you can use ChatGPT for LinkedIn articles …and I don’t just mean the brainstorming parts of it 😀
But Why LinkedIn Articles?
Writing LinkedIn articles isn’t just about sharing your thoughts; it’s a strategic move that can supercharge your growth on LinkedIn.

- Increase your visibility and reach within your industry, making it easier for potential clients and partners to find you.
- Establish credibility by providing valuable insights and solutions that address your audience’s challenges.
- Engage with your network and start meaningful conversations, improving your professional relationships.

In today’s tech-savvy world, making the right business decisions often comes down to how well you use the latest technological innovations. Whether you’re an IT pro or a business leader, staying on top of these trends can give you the edge you need. Here’s a down-to-earth guide on how to make the most of tech to boost your decision-making game:
1. Get Cozy with Data Analytics
Data is everywhere, and understanding it can make all the difference. With modern analytics tools, you can dive deep into your data, spot trends, and make decisions based on real insights rather than gut feelings.
Pro Tip: Invest in some solid analytics tools and make data a regular part of your decision-making routine. Keep an eye on those reports to stay ahead of the curve.
2. Let AI Do Some Heavy Lifting
AI is no longer a futuristic concept—it’s here and it’s powerful. From automating routine tasks to providing smart insights, AI can help you make better decisions faster. Think of it as having an extra brain on your team.
Pro Tip: Look into AI tools that fit your needs. Use them to handle repetitive tasks, personalize customer interactions, and predict trends.

Cloud computing is like having an office that’s always open and always growing with you. It’s flexible, cost-effective, and lets you access your data from anywhere. Plus, it makes teamwork a breeze.
Pro Tip: Shift to cloud-based solutions to stay nimble and efficient. Just remember to keep your data secure and follow best practices.
4. Use IoT for Real-Time Insights
The Internet of Things (IoT) connects all sorts of devices and sensors, giving you real-time updates on what’s happening in your business. It’s great for keeping tabs on everything from inventory to equipment.
Pro Tip: Implement IoT tech to keep an eye on your operations and make quick adjustments as needed. It’s like having a constant pulse on your business.
5. Explore Blockchain for Better Transparency
Blockchain might sound like a buzzword, but it’s actually a game-changer for transparency and security. It helps with tracking transactions and managing data in a way that’s secure and easy to verify.
Pro Tip: Check out how blockchain could fit into your operations. It’s useful for managing records, improving supply chain visibility, and ensuring transaction security.
6. Don’t Skip on Cybersecurity
As tech advances, so do cyber threats. Keeping your business safe from hackers and data breaches is crucial. Investing in good cybersecurity practices will protect your data and build trust.
Pro Tip: Make cybersecurity a priority by investing in up-to-date protection and regularly reviewing your security measures. Educate your team on best practices to stay ahead of threats.
Wrap-Up

Each outline fulfills its purpose of discussing IT-related topics from a unique angle, but they all will help meet your goal of writing an article that is relevant to you and your audience.
The best part is that because it provides such a wide variety of topics, you can mix and match the topics to come up with an outline that fits your personal touch.
These outlines all consider the information we’ve filled the prompt up with.
Since I chose a professional audience, the topics covered are more specific to those who are knowledgeable in IT.
Yet since there is mention of a casual tone, they aren’t too heavy with a lot of technical details.
This is why it’s critical to make sure you get everything about your target audience right because the output will change even with the smallest details.
But we’re not stopping here!
Here are some follow-up prompts you can use to help repurpose these for social media posting.
Convert this article to fresh posts that can be syndicated to our:

As you can see in our example, we’ve repurposed an article and had ChatGPT convert it into posts for Facebook and Instagram.
What Else Can You Do?
Now that you have your outlines, you’re ready to write that article! Or, are you?
Is it really this easy? Well honestly, yes it is.
But there’s still much more you can do to make your articles maximize their potential.
Here are some tips for using this prompt and actually writing your LinkedIn article:
- Know Your Audience: Don’t just generalize them as a group of professionals in your industry. Gather data on them by studying their profiles, their posts and what they do. Especially apply this to those whom you engage with the most. After figuring out their personas, you use your article to speak to their needs and connect with them.
- Use Strong Headlines: The headline is your first chance to grab attention. It’s important to make it powerful so you can hook them in and easily reel in your target audience. Think of it like a first impression; you want it to be unforgettable. With the right headline, you can build a bigger following in no time.
- Edit and Proofread: Quality is your best friend and if you want to sound professional, you want to make sure that your article is error-free. Nothing screams “unreliable” louder than bad grammar and crappy formatting. Make sure once you’ve got your article down to proofread and edit as many times as you can.
