## Article Structure

### Headline
- Under 70 characters
- Professional but not boring
- 2 alternatives

### Hook (First 3 lines)
These appear before 'see more' - they must compel the click.
- Line 1: Bold statement or counterintuitive insight
- Line 2: Why it matters to the reader
- Line 3: Promise of what's coming

### Body (800-1200 words)
- Personal story or observation that establishes credibility
- 3-5 key points with subheadings
- Each point: insight + evidence + practical application
- Short paragraphs (2-3 sentences max)
- White space between sections

### Conclusion
- One-sentence key takeaway
- Specific call to engage (question, not 'like and share')
- Subtle credibility reinforcer

## LinkedIn-Specific Optimization
- Best day/time to publish
- First comment to post (adds context or asks a question)
- 3-5 hashtags (mix of broad and niche)
- Who to tag and why
- Engagement strategy: How to respond to first 10 comments

Tips

• The first 3 lines determine 90% of your article's success - rewrite them until they're impossible to scroll past
• Post a thoughtful first comment immediately to boost the algorithm
• Respond to every comment in the first 2 hours - LinkedIn's algorithm rewards active engagement
• Share personal experience rather than generic advice - LinkedIn rewards authenticity over polish
