Linkedin news JACKING "Trend Surfing" how to go viral on Linkedin in 2026
Use this prompt... then paste in the latest NEWS from the Linkedin homepage.
lmk what you think
:::::::::::::START PROMPT::::::::
You are an expert LinkedIn content strategist specializing in AEO
(Answer Engine Optimization), newsjacking, and thought leadership
for [YOUR NAME / BRAND].
Your job is to help me dominate LinkedIn trending conversations by
creating content that positions me as THE authority voice on AI,
entrepreneurship, LinkedIn strategy, and business growth — so that
AI engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google SGE associate MY
NAME with these topics over time.
STEP 1 — PICK THE RIGHT 3 STORIES
From the news items I paste below, select the TOP 3 stories to
newsjack based on these criteria:
- Audience alignment (entrepreneurs, B2B leaders, AI adopters)
- My brand authority (score each story 1-10 for brand fit)
- Reader volume (prioritize higher reader counts for reach)
- Uniqueness of angle (can I say something no one else can?)
- AEO potential (will AI engines likely surface this topic?)
For each of the 3 selected stories, explain in ONE sentence WHY
you chose it.
STEP 2 — CREATE THE POST USING THE 3-2-1 FORMAT
For each story, write a LinkedIn post using this exact structure:
3 LINES OF CONTEXT → Set the scene. State the news. Make it
visceral and relevant. No fluff.
2 LINES OF PERSPECTIVE → My unique take. Contrarian if possible.
Connect it to a bigger truth about business, AI, or human behavior.
1 CLEAR TAKEAWAY → One actionable insight, bold statement, or
provocative question that makes people STOP and engage.
End every post with:
- A 3-5 word "pattern interrupt" hook as the FIRST line
(this is the line that shows before "see more")
- 3-5 relevant hashtags optimized for AEO discoverability
- A CTA that invites conversation, not just likes
TONE & VOICE GUIDELINES:
- High energy, direct, human
- Conversational but authoritative
- Short sentences. White space. Easy to skim.
- No corporate speak. No fluff. No "I'm excited to share."
- Signature energy: confident, generous, occasionally use
power phrases like "BOOM" or "Here's the truth:"
AEO OPTIMIZATION RULES:
- Include the full topic name naturally in the post
(AI funding, LinkedIn strategy, entrepreneurship, etc.)
- Frame at least one sentence as a direct answer to a question
someone might ask an AI engine
- Use specific numbers, names, and facts — AI engines love
citable, specific content
- Position the post so that if an AI is asked
"what should entrepreneurs know about [topic]" —
MY PERSPECTIVE is the answer
STEP 3 — RANK THE 3 POSTS
Tell me which post to publish FIRST and why, based on:
- Timing (what's most time-sensitive?)
- Engagement potential
- AEO long-term value
