You wrote the book because you had something valuable to say.
But once the launch post is done, the Amazon link has been shared and the cover reveal has passed, it can be hard to know how to keep talking about your book without sounding repetitive.
This free prompt helps you find better ways to use your book on LinkedIn so it builds authority, starts conversations and leads people naturally toward your next step.
The Problem
Your book gives you authority. But your LinkedIn content may not be using it properly.
A lot of expert authors know their book should be doing more for them.
It should help them become known for their ideas.
It should create better conversations.
It should attract readers, clients, speaking opportunities or collaborations.
It should make their expertise easier to understand.
But when they try to promote it on LinkedIn, they often run out of things to say.
So they post:
- "My book is out."
- "Here's the link."
- "Here's a review."
- "Here's where to buy it."
And then they go quiet.
The problem is not that the book is not valuable.
The problem is that they are treating the book like a product to announce, instead of an authority asset to build content from.
The Promise
One prompt. Multiple ways to talk about your book.
This prompt helps you turn your book into LinkedIn content without making every post a sales post. It will help you create:

You are my LinkedIn book promotion strategist. I am an expert author, coach, consultant, speaker, or service provider. I want to promote my book on LinkedIn in a way that builds authority, starts conversations, attracts the right readers or clients, and leads people naturally toward my next step. I do not want every post to sound like "buy my book." Here are my details: My name/business: [Insert name or business name] My area of expertise: [Insert niche or topic] My book title or book idea: [Insert book title or working title] My ideal reader/client: [Who is the book for?] The main problem my audience wants to solve: [Insert problem] The result, transformation, or insight my book helps them achieve: [Insert result] My core message, method, or belief: [Insert the idea you want to be known for] My offer or next step: [Download a chapter, join my email list, book a call, attend a webinar, buy the book, join a programme, enquire about my services, etc.] My preferred tone: [Warm, bold, practical, direct, inspiring, educational, conversational, thought-provoking, etc.] Optional: Here are 1–3 LinkedIn posts, creators, or authors whose content style I like: [Paste examples or leave blank] --- Now help me promote my book on LinkedIn in multiple strategic ways. First, give me 10 specific LinkedIn book promotion routes. Do not give me basic categories like "personal story," "behind the scenes," or "chapter lesson" unless you explain the strategic context behind them. For each promotion route, include: 1. The name of the promotion route 2. What this angle is designed to do 3. Why it works on LinkedIn 4. When to use it 5. The audience belief, problem, desire, or objection it taps into 6. A sample hook for my book 7. How to naturally connect this angle back to my book without sounding like I am just promoting it 8. The best LinkedIn format for this angle: text post, document carousel, video, newsletter, article, poll-style question, or featured profile post Make the angles specific to my book, expertise, audience, and offer. The goal is to show me different ways to use my book on LinkedIn while positioning myself as an authority, starting conversations, and leading people toward my next step. After you give me the 10 promotion routes, choose the 5 strongest routes for my audience, book, and goal. For each of the 5 strongest routes, create: 1. A strong LinkedIn hook 2. A short LinkedIn post under 180 words 3. A soft call to action 4. A suggested visual, document carousel, video, article, newsletter, or profile feature idea 5. A note explaining why this angle works Make the posts sound thoughtful, human, and authority-building. Use short paragraphs. Avoid hype, generic advice, exaggerated claims, and obvious AI language. Do not make the book sound like the only solution. Instead, use the book as a natural credibility asset that supports my expertise. Also give me: 1. 10 extra LinkedIn hooks I can use later 2. 5 ways to mention my book without saying "buy my book" 3. 3 LinkedIn article or newsletter ideas based on the book 4. 3 conversation-starting questions I could post to attract comments 5. A simple 5-day LinkedIn book promotion plan using the strongest ideas Important: Keep the output practical and easy to act on. I should be able to use the ideas to create LinkedIn content quickly without needing to understand advanced content strategy.
Once you have your content ideas, check whether your LinkedIn profile is ready for the people who click through.
The Missing Piece
Your content can create curiosity. Your profile has to convert it.
When your book content works, people click through to your LinkedIn profile.
That is where they decide what to do next.
- 01Do they immediately understand what you are known for?
- 02Can they see the link between your book, your expertise and your offer?
- 03Does your headline position you as an expert or just describe your job title?
- 04Does your About section make the reader think, “This person understands my problem”?
- 05Does your Featured section show your book, proof, resources or next step clearly?
If your profile still reads like a CV, your book promotion may create attention without turning that attention into trust.
That is why the next step is not just better posts.
It is a profile that makes your expertise obvious.
Next Step
Want your LinkedIn profile to match the authority of your book?
The prompt helps you create better LinkedIn content from your book.
But if someone clicks from that content to your profile and lands on a vague headline, buried proof or an About section that reads like a career history, you may lose the opportunity.
That is what we fix inside The Profit-Ready Profile Sprint.
Over three live days, we work through the key parts of your LinkedIn profile so it stops reading like a quiet CV and starts working like a clear front door for the right people.

A headline that connects your book, expertise and audience clearly.
A banner and first impression that show what you want to be known for.
An About section that sounds like you and speaks to the right reader or client.
A Featured section that points people toward your book, lead magnet, proof or offer.
A profile journey that helps visitors understand who you help, how you help and what to do next.
