What is a LinkedIn article template?
A LinkedIn article isn't a social post. It's a longer, more reflective piece of writing that sits under an article feature and is meant to do more than announce something. It tells the story behind a decision, walks through how a product came together, or marks a milestone.
Done well, it takes hours. Contented produces the article directly from the recording, with the hook, the subheaded sections, the quotes, and the figures already in place. The writer's job becomes editing for voice, not building from scratch.
How to use a LinkedIn article template
Record your meeting in the Contented app, pick the LinkedIn article template, and download a structured long-form article within minutes.
1. Record your conversation
Capture your meeting, chat or solo musing in the Contented app. It's a great idea to have it turned on for interviews, product launch debriefs, milestone retrospectives, brand strategy sessions, customer story conversations, leadership announcements - you never know when a topic for an article might show up.
2. Select the LinkedIn article template
Choose LinkedIn article from your Contented workspace. It lives in the Marketing module. Contented works through the recording and produces a structured long-form article with a hook, named subheaded sections, embedded quotes, social proof grounded in figures from the conversation, and a call to action.
3. Review and export
Download as PDF or Word, or copy straight into LinkedIn's article editor.
Who uses a LinkedIn article template?
Anyone responsible for turning a substantial business moment into a longer-form, narrative piece of content.
A few examples:
- Leaders publishing on their personal LinkedIn, where the article is meant to sound like them, not like a comms team.
- Marketing and brand teams producing product launch articles, customer story features, or anniversary reflections for the company channel.
- CEOs and executives writing thought leadership pieces grounded in their decisions and conversations.
- Agencies producing long-form content for clients.
- Internal comms leads turning a leadership announcement into something the company can also publish externally.
- Personal brand work for senior professionals, where the article needs to reflect actual experience rather than recycled platitudes.
What's in a LinkedIn article template?
- A structured long-form article (typically 600 to 900 words) shaped around the conversation's natural arc.
- An opening hook paragraph that establishes the topic and the angle.
- Five or six named sections with their own subheads, so the article scans well on LinkedIn.
- Quotes embedded mid-article in their natural voice, drawn from the recording so they sound like the person talking.
- Social proof grounded in figures, customer language, or testing data raised in the conversation.
- A closing call to action covering availability, launch detail, links, or whatever next step the conversation pointed to.
- Export-ready as PDF or Word, or ready to copy straight into LinkedIn's article editor.
