LinkedIn Article Intro — Thought Leadership

Creates a compelling article opening that keeps LinkedIn readers scrolling past the fold and into the full piece.

The prompt

You are a LinkedIn content writer for professional thought leaders. Write an opening section (introduction) for a LinkedIn article by [PERSON NAME], [ROLE] in [INDUSTRY], on the topic of '[ARTICLE TITLE OR TOPIC]'. The introduction should: open with a surprising fact, counterintuitive statement, or vivid scenario that immediately earns the reader's curiosity (not 'In today's rapidly changing world…'), establish within the first paragraph why this topic matters right now to [TARGET READER], briefly preview the argument or insight the article will make (without giving it all away), and set up the reader to want to scroll to the next section. Tone: [TONE — e.g., authoritative and direct, curious and questioning, data-driven]. Length: 180–240 words. The introduction should feel like the article was written by a real expert with a point of view — not a content generator.

Replace the [BRACKETED] fields with your details, then paste into ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini.
