How to Become a LinkedIn Top Voice or Community Top Voice

Here’s everything you need to know about LinkedIn Top Voices, including their new ‘Top Community Voice’.

Most weeks, I stare blankly at my LinkedIn channel, wondering what on earth I should post. It's hard.

Coming up with new content on a weekly or even daily basis isn’t just time-consuming, it can be infuriating.

Fortunately, Buffer’s AI Assistant can help. But there’s a secret you need to know if you want to get the most out of it: adding the right prompts.

Why prompts matter

One word: context. 

For AI to thrive, it needs adequate information. Like with Buffer’s AI Assistant, the difference between a basic prompt and a well-informed one can be striking.

For instance, the prompt:

“Write a tweet about Black Friday” will deliver this post: 

"Gear up for the shopping spree! #BlackFriday is near.” 

Meh.

But, with a detailed prompt:

“I run a sustainable coffee shop with a unique organic, fair-trade roast from Peru. Can you craft a post for our Black Friday 50% off deal targeting eco-conscious consumers?”

You get:

“Fuel your day with purpose! Enjoy 50% off our distinct organic roast this #BlackFriday. Hand picked for those craving sustainable goodness! #EcoCoffee”

AI rule of thumb: Nail the input and you’re way closer to the perfect output. 

With that in mind — are you ready for some prompt inspiration? The list below will help you get the hang of crafting the right input for a great output. Fill in the placeholders in square brackets so the AI returns content applicable to you.
