When to Use Bold
Use bold for post titles, section headings, and key takeaways you want readers to remember. Bold creates visual hierarchy and helps readers scan your content quickly.
Avoid: Bolding entire paragraphs or more than 2-3 words in a row
When to Use Italic
Reserve italics for quotes, subtle emphasis, or personal reflections. Use sparingly to add voice without overwhelming the reader.
Pro tip: Italic works great for thought-provoking questions or insights
Emojis & Visual Elements
Use emojis at the start of paragraphs or bullet points to create visual breaks. Limit to 3-5 per post and choose relevant ones that enhance your message.
Best for: Breaking up sections, highlighting emotions, or replacing bullets
Lists & Structure
Use bullet points for quick tips or benefits. Use numbered lists for step-by-step processes or rankings. Keep list items concise and scannable.
Golden rule: 3-7 items per list for optimal engagement
The 20% Rule: Keep formatted text under 20% of your total post. Too much formatting reduces readability and makes posts feel spammy.
Attention
Grab attention in the first 140 characters (mobile preview limit). Use a question, surprise, or bold statement.
Example: "95% of LinkedIn posts get ignored. Here's why..." (75 chars - perfect for mobile)
Interest
Generate interest by sharing relevant information. Tell readers what they will learn or how it helps them.
Example: "I discovered 3 techniques that increased my engagement by 300%..."
Desire
Create desire by showing concrete benefits. Use examples, numbers, and results.
Example: "My network grew from 500 to 5000 connections in 3 months..."
Action
End with a clear call-to-action. Ask for comments, shares, or pose a question to your network.
Example: "What's your biggest challenge on LinkedIn? Share it below!"
Hook in First 140 Characters
The most successful posts capture attention immediately. Your opening line appears in the feed preview - make it count with a compelling question, surprising statistic, or bold statement.
Strategic Formatting
Top-performing posts use bold text for headlines and key takeaways. They break up content with emojis and line breaks, creating scannable sections that keep readers engaged from start to finish.
Optimal Length
Viral posts typically range from 150-300 words. This length is substantial enough to provide value while remaining digestible. Longer posts work if every sentence adds genuine insight.
Storytelling Structure
Posts that tell a story perform 3x better than plain advice. Share personal experiences, challenges overcome, or lessons learned. Vulnerability and authenticity drive connection and shares.
Clear Call-to-Action
Viral posts end with engagement triggers. Ask a specific question, request experiences in comments, or encourage sharing. Posts with CTAs get 89% more comments than those without.
Visual White Space
Dense text blocks get scrolled past. High-engagement posts use short paragraphs (2-3 lines max), bullet points with emojis, and strategic line breaks to create visual breathing room.

How does text formatting work on LinkedIn?
LinkedIn doesn't support native formatting like bold or italic. This tool uses special Unicode characters to format your text. Copy the formatted text and paste it directly into your LinkedIn post. The formatting will be preserved when you publish.
Does this work on mobile and desktop?
Yes, the Viral Post Creator works on all devices. The tool is fully responsive and adapts to your screen size. On mobile you'll see the most important features, on desktop you have access to all emoji categories and templates.
What is the optimal length for a LinkedIn post?
LinkedIn shows the first 140 characters in the mobile preview before the "...see more" button appears. Make sure your hook falls within these 140 characters. The maximum length is 3000 characters, but posts between 150-300 words often perform best.
Can I save the formatted text?
You can copy the formatted text with the "Copy Text" button and save it in a notes app or document. The tool doesn't automatically save your text, so make sure to create a backup before closing the page.
How much formatting should I use?
Use formatting sparingly for maximum impact. Limit bold and italic to a maximum of 20% of your post. Too much formatting makes your post hard to read and can be distracting. Use it mainly for headings, key points, and call-to-actions.
