How Matt Barker Uses MagicPost to Go From Idea to Post

Writing content can be a stressful experience. Until now, AI wasn’t readily available so I didn’t have MagicPost. If I were starting again now, MagicPost would have 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 and 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, and 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 prefer actionable content the most.

So, let’s go.

3. Generate the post

You want to stop staring at that blank page as soon as possible.

Now you have a starting post to work from.

We’re not done yet.

You could copy, 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 just 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 is what we’re doing here.

So, here’s what you need to 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, feel free to utilize 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 a very simple way}

2. {action}

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

3. {action}

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

4. {action}

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

5. {action}

{highlight the problem}. {explain why it affects their daily life}. {state the solution in a very simple 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 are happy, hit post!

Try MagicPost for free

Writing content can be a stressful experience.

When I first started writing online, I would spend a long time on my phone thinking about what to write spontaneously.

Back then, AI wasn't easily accessible, so I didn't have MagicPost.

If I were starting over now, MagicPost would have saved me a lot of stress and time.

Go try it for free.
