LinkedIn (for yourself)

Solo: writing for your own account, not clients.

Drop the multi-client agency tooling. For your own account you don't need Granola interviews or Taplio's viral search. Claude with your own voice library, Typefully to stage and ship, that's it.

Workflow
  1. 1
    Capture angles in a notes fileClaude

    When something happens at work, jot a 1-line angle. You don't need a 30-min interview if you live the work.

  2. 2
    Draft posts in batchClaude

    Sunday session: feed Claude 5 angles + your voice library, get 5 drafts.

    Prompt · Batch draft from your own angles
    Write 5 LinkedIn posts in my voice.
    
    Voice library (my last 20 posts):
    """
    {{paste 20 posts}}
    """
    
    This week's angles (one post per angle):
    1. {{angle 1}}
    2. {{angle 2}}
    3. {{angle 3}}
    4. {{angle 4}}
    5. {{angle 5}}
    
    Constraints per post:
    - Hook in line 1, no warm-up
    - 5 to 8 short paragraphs, blank line between
    - One concrete number, name, or example
    - No emoji unless my voice library uses them
    - End on a sharp statement, not a question
    
    Output 5 posts separated by "---".

    Stage in TypefullyTypefully

    Paste, schedule across the week. Typefully cross-posts to X if you want a thread version.

What it produced
Solo founder, 4k followers

From posting twice a month to 3x/week. Reach went from ~600 impressions/post to ~3.2k impressions/post over 6 weeks. 11 inbound messages per month from posts alone.

Common pitfalls
AI-flat voice

Without an interview to ground in, drafts drift to generic LinkedIn-speak fast. Keep refreshing the voice library every 4 weeks.

Posting frequency death spiral

Daily posting without batching burns out within a month. Sunday batching (5 posts in 90 min) is the only thing that holds.
