Write a Contrarian Take LinkedIn Post

Draft a LinkedIn post that opens with a conventional wisdom statement, then refutes it with evidence and a counter-view.

About this prompt

This prompt writes a LinkedIn post structured around a contrarian take — opening with the conventional wisdom, then challenging it with a specific counter-argument, evidence, and a conclusion that gives readers something to think about or debate. Use it when you have a genuine opinion that differs from the consensus in your industry.Contrarian posts generate more engagement than consensus ones because they give people something to agree or disagree with — but they fail when they're contrarian without substance. This prompt takes your [conventional belief to challenge], your [counter-argument], and [evidence or examples] and produces a structured post that opens with the standard wisdom to establish context, pivots to the challenge with a reason rather than just a negation, supports the contrarian view with a specific example or data point, and closes with a conclusion that invites discussion without being divisive. Use this over a generic LinkedIn post prompt when you have a specific industry opinion you want to test publicly. Tip: the evidence section is what separates credible contrarian posts from provocative ones — 'everyone says X but I think Y' without evidence generates engagement but undermines the authority you're trying to build; 'everyone says X but here's what I saw' earns both.
