How to format a LinkedIn post
Write or paste your post
Type it here, or paste a ChatGPT draft and turn its ** and - lists into bold and bullets in one press.
Pick a few words
Choose what should stand out, usually just one line.
Check the fold and copy
The preview cuts off where LinkedIn adds "...more", so you can see what people read first.
How bold text works on LinkedIn
LinkedIn has no bold button of its own, so the bold you copy from here is the bold your readers see.
Save bold for a hook line you want to stand out. A whole bold post is hard work to read, and Plain undoes it in one press.

Worked examples
A bold first line
Select "Most proposals lose the client on page one." and press Bold. Paste it into LinkedIn and that line shows in bold above the fold.
A ChatGPT draft
"**Most proposals**" becomes bold, "_before_" becomes italic and each "- " line becomes a bullet, with one press of Convert.
Links left alone
Bold "Book a call at postmosis.com #coaching" and the words go bold while postmosis.com and #coaching stay plain and clickable.
