We went from five posts a week to two. Not a strategy. We just ran out of things worth saying, and padding the calendar was starting to show. What changed: the two we do publish come out of arguments we actually had that week. They take longer and they land differently. Seven weeks in, reach is up and I am not sure I trust the number yet.

Example
Several mechanics in one run, so you are not opening the same way twice.
That is your free run for now.
Five runs a minute and thirty a day per visitor: you just reached one of the two. A free MagicPost account doubles the first and takes the second to a hundred, and writes the openings from your own published posts.

The subject we read
We went from five posts a week to two, and our reach went up. I want to write about why.
The openings5 written
Question
Still posting five times a week?
Number
We cut our posting volume by 60% and impressions doubled.
Contrast
Most people think reach is a volume problem. It is not.
Story
I quit our posting schedule 3 weeks ago, and the numbers went up.
Contrast
Stop shipping posts you would not read yourself.
5 openings a run, no signup
The MagicPost LinkedIn hooks generator writes five opening lines for a subject you describe, and names the mechanic behind each one: question, number, contrast, story, scene, teaser, announcement or list.
How the generator works
One subject in, five openings out
- You describe, it writes
One line about your post is enough, and the whole draft works too. The generator reads whichever language you typed and answers in that same language.
- Every line gets named
Each opening is sorted into the mechanic it runs on, in the taxonomy MagicPost's own hook generator writes in. You see at a glance whether you got five angles or five versions of one.
- Nothing recycled
Every line is written for the subject you typed. Nothing comes from a bank of pre-written openings, and nothing is lifted from another creator's post.
Your next step
Openings that sound like you
Your subject is all this page has to go on. MagicPost also has the posts you have already published, so an opening arrives in the register you actually use.
A different mechanic each time. MagicPost picks the ones that fit what you are about to say instead of leaving the spread to chance.
Built on what you already publish. Your last posts set the rhythm, so a line never comes back in a register you would never have typed.
The whole post, not only the line. Pick an opening and MagicPost drafts what sits under it, so you are not left with one good line and a blank page.
FAQ
About writing LinkedIn hooks
Is this LinkedIn hooks generator free?
Yes, and there is no account to create. Thirty runs a day per visitor, five a minute, so a hundred and fifty openings a day before you reach the ceiling. Signing in for free raises it to a hundred runs a day, and MagicPost then writes the hooks from the posts you have already published instead of from a topic you type.
What makes a good hook on LinkedIn?
One that fits what you are about to say. A number opening with no number worth reading is weaker than a plain first-person line. That is why every line here is named by its mechanic: you pick the one that matches your subject, not the one that sounds best on its own.
Does it work in my language?
Yes. The generator answers in whichever language you describe your post in, so a subject typed in French comes back with French openings. The mechanic names stay in the language of this page.
Where do these openings come from?
They are written for the subject you type, one run at a time. There is no library of ready-made lines behind this page, and no creator's post gets recycled into yours. If you want the mechanic of a first line you have already written, that is what the hook analyzer reads. LinkedIn Hook Analyzer: read a line you already wrote
