LinkedIn post examples by topic, with the engagement data attached

Most “LinkedIn post examples” pages are someone's favorites. These are sorted by what actually happened. We took 12,988 real LinkedIn posts from 65 creators, ranked them by engagement rate, split them into 20 topics, and pulled the 419strongest hooks in each category as the reader saw them before the “see more” fold. Every example carries its reactions, comments, and the author's follower count, so you can judge it against the size of the audience it reached.

Start with the category you write in. Each page has the topic's median engagement, which hook styles over-index among its top performers, the format mix, and the real examples. The cross-category findings live in the full study.

About this data

Numbers come from our analysis of a public dataset of 34,012 LinkedIn influencer posts. We scored 12,988 English posts from 65 creators by engagement rate (reactions + 4× comments, divided by the author's followers) and compared the top 10% against the bottom half. The dataset captures each post's text up to LinkedIn's “see more” fold, which is exactly what a reader sees before deciding to engage. These are correlations, not guarantees. Full methodology and caveats are in the full study.

Example hooks remain the property of their original authors and are reproduced here as short excerpts for commentary and analysis, with author identities removed. Published by The Growtempo Team.
