→ From Idea to Publishing: My New Go-To Workflow for LinkedIn Content

Hi friends 👋

If you create content for LinkedIn, you’ve probably been there too:

👉 You have the idea

…but it’s stuck in your Notes app.

👉 You write a few lines

…but something feels off.

👉 You want to turn it into a carousel

…but Canva (even though I love it) feels like too much work.

That’s been me lately. I’ve had a backlog of ideas I just didn’t feel like turning into polished posts.

So this week, I’ve been experimenting with ways to make the process easier — and faster.

Here’s the workaround I found:

🧠 1. Start with structure, not a blank page

Sometimes I don’t even write full drafts anymore.

I just brain-dump the key point I want to make — then ask ChatGPT or Notion AI to shape it into a short hook, body, and takeaway.

Even if I rewrite the whole thing, it helps me see the shape of the post faster.

📊 2. Turn words into visuals early

This is where I used to get stuck.

I’d write something, then procrastinate designing it.

Lately, I’ve been using a tool called aiCarousels to skip the design block and batch-prepare my posts.

Here’s what stood out for me:

• You can turn blog posts into carousels in seconds — great if you’ve got articles you want to repurpose (like me 🙋‍♀️).

• It even works with YouTube videos. Just paste the link and boom: you get a carousel.

• No blog/YouTube? No problem. You can generate a carousel from scratch (using AI) based on a topic, or write your own content and let the tool handle the visuals.

• You can create quote cards, infographics, staircase-style posts, banners for your profile, and more — all optimized for LinkedIn.

It’s become my go-to for visual LinkedIn content.

💡 3. Share the “obvious” — it might not be obvious to others

One of the best reminders I got this week:

You might think everyone knows what you have to share.

But it’s not true.

So even if you think it’s “nothing special” — share it anyway.

If you’re sitting on a bunch of half-formed LinkedIn drafts… maybe try one of these. Or reply and tell me what’s slowing you down.

Quick heads up: I liked aiCarousels so much, I became an affiliate. If you decide to try it and sign up through this link, I’ll earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. It helps me keep testing tools and sharing what actually works. Thanks for the support!

Talk next week,
