Writing content can be a stressful experience. Until now, AI wasn’t readily available so I didn’t have MagicPost. If I was starting again now, MagicPost would’ve saved me A LOT of stress and time.

Matt's tutorial consists of 5+1 steps:
1. Get 6 instantly generated content ideas
2. Skip the umming, ahhing over what to write
3. Choose your style of post you want help with
4. Drop in templates to write even faster
5. Spend 20% getting the outline of the post
6. Spend 80% tweaking, editing, scheduling

1. Create your theme

Open MagicPost and go to ‘Ideas’.

Then click ‘Add a Theme +’.

Enter your rough idea (theme).

And hit ‘Generate ideas’.

Now, I have 6 potential ideas.

2. Pick an idea

It doesn’t have to be perfect.

You’re just looking for something that ‘feels’ comfortable to write about.

Choose what ‘feels’ best for your style.

Select your post type.

I like actionable content the most.

So, let’s go.

3. Generate the post

You want to stop staring at that blank page ASAP.

Now you have a starting post to go from.

We’re not done yet.

You COULD copy and paste and schedule.

But you want to make it ‘you’.

You want to put your stamp on it.

Remember: this is a starting point so you’re not staring at that blank page.

It’s not the finished LinkedIn post.

4. Drop into a template

The most efficient writers:

  • Test ideas

  • Analyse what works

  • Templatise it

  • Double down

That’s what we’re doing here.

So, here’s what you do next…

Copy the post to your clipboard

Head over to templates

Paste your post into the template

I want it to be very close to my template.

I don’t want AI getting any funny ideas.

So choose very close similarity to the template.

Now my post is much more me.

And it’s in the style I like.

It even includes the TL;DR: I like.

BONUS: Here’s the template I used, steal it:

How to {desired outcome}:

({create curiosity, make it sound simple})

1. {action}

{highlight the problem}. {explain why it affects their daily life}. {state the solution in very simplified way}

2. {action}

{highlight the problem}. {explain why it affects their daily life}. {state the solution in very simplified way}

3. {action}

{highlight the problem}. {explain why it affects their daily life}. {state the solution in very simplified way}

4. {action}

{highlight the problem}. {explain why it affects their daily life}. {state the solution in very simplified way}

5. {action}

{highlight the problem}. {explain why it affects their daily life}. {state the solution in very simplified way}

TL;DR:

1. {match action as above}

2. {match action as above}

3. {match action as above}

4. {match action as above}

5. {match action as above}

{short, motivational sentence to reader}





5. Tweak, edit and post

Now you have a post that fits your structure/style of content.

I repeat, do not copy and paste. Take the post as your starting point.

Use the LinkedIn post previewer.

Tweak the hook to your style of writing.

Edit the subheaders + body.

Make your CTA more concise

Then when you’re happy, hit post!

Writing content can be a stressful experience.

When I first started writing online, I’d sit on my phone for AGES thinking of what to write on the spot.

Back then, AI wasn’t readily available so I didn’t have MagicPost.

If I was starting again now, MagicPost would’ve saved me A LOT of stress and time.
