Generating Posts from Content Ideas
Once you've found or created an idea you want to develop into a LinkedIn post, the post generation process is very straightforward:
Initiating Post Generation
To generate a post from an idea:
On the Post Ideas page, navigate to the content idea you like most
Click on Generate Post to add your reqeuest to the generation queue
We have a much more comprehensive guide on Content Ideas that you can check out later.
Important Note: The generation typically takes 10-30 seconds depending on system load. You can continue reviewing other ideas while waiting for generation to complete.

Once generation is complete:
Click View Post in the Post Generation Queue to see your generated post
This takes you to the Publish Post page where you can review and customize your post

Analysis Paralysis
If you’ve spent hours sifting through half-finished ideas and still haven’t finalized a single post, you’re not alone. It’s easy to lose track of time when your drafts start to pile up. That’s exactly when you need to start a focus session which is a dedicated block of time to organize & refine your content.
How to start a focus session?
Click on Start Focusing - You will be presented with a modal with preset timers & the number of posts you have in draft
Select the amount of time you would like to start the focus session for
In focus mode, every time you delete, like a post, or move a post to archive, the counter gets filled
Your session ends once you have sorted 5 posts, or when the timer runs out
Note: You can pause or end a focus session prematurely if the need arises to do so
At the end of your session, a modal will display the number of drafts you hace cleared, and how long the session lasted for
Previewing Your Post
Before publishing, it's important to see how your post will appear on LinkedIn:
Using Preview Mode
To preview your post:
Click on the Eye icon in the sidebar
Toggle between Desktop and Mobile views to see how your post will appear on different devices
Pay special attention to your hook and how it appears in the preview (especially what's visible before ...more)
Hook Optimization
The hook (opening lines) is critical for LinkedIn engagement:
Check how much text appears before the ...more cutoff in both desktop and mobile views
Ensure your hook contains a compelling statement or question that encourages readers to click see more
Finalizing Your Post
Once you're satisfied with your customizations:
Click Publish Now to immediately post to LinkedIn
Click Schedule for later to set a future publication date and time
If you're still confused, we have complete guide on Post Scheduling & Publishing that you can visit after this. How to use the content calendar is also discussed in that article.
Common Questions
Q: What is Focus Mode and how does it help me manage drafts?
Focus Mode helps reduce analysis paralysis when you have too many drafts. Start a focus session by clicking Start Focusing, set a timer, and work through sorting five posts (deleting, liking, or archiving them). You can pause or stop anytime.
At the end, LiGo shows how many drafts you cleared and how long your session lasted - helping you stay productive & organized
Q: Do I need to generate a post immediately after finding a content idea I like?
No, content ideas remain available in your account. You can return to them later by navigating to the Content Ideas page.
Q: How long does a post remain in the recycle bin?
A post will not be removed from the recycle bin unless the bin is emptied
Q: What are post variants and how should I use them?
Each generated post includes six variants, offering different ways to express your idea. You can switch between variants using the numbered tabs (1–6). Review them carefully to find one that fits your voice and message best. You can also mix elements from multiple variants using AI personalization.
Q: How do LiGo’s AI personalization tools improve my post?
LiGo’s AI tools can automatically adjust your post based on your input. You can:
Change the hook (opening line)
Adjust length or tone
Enhance clarity
Translate your post into another language
You can also give custom instructions like “Make this sound more conversational” or “Focus this example on B2B marketing.” Review and apply changes once you’re happy with the results.
