Selling on LinkedIn
Share one lesson from your ebook as a short story from real work, ask people to comment if they want the book, and keep it in your profile's Featured section. LinkedIn suits business, career and skills ebooks best. Postomate writes and publishes those posts for you.

The best salary negotiation line I know is a question:
If your ebook helps people at work, LinkedIn puts it in front of exactly the roles who need it.
“Comment and I'll send it” turns a reader into a conversation, and comments help the post reach more people.
Add your ebook to your profile's Featured section so every profile visitor sees it.
Professionals want lessons they can use on Monday.
The situation, the mistake, what changed. Then the lesson from the book in one line.
Three to five steps people can screenshot and use at work.
The idea in your book most people disagree with at first. It sparks comments.
Invented products, to show the format. Your posts are written from your own product page.
Example: an ebook for new freelance designers

My first design client was my old manager's sister. I spent months polishing case studies nobody saw. Then I messaged five people I already knew each week. Three clients in six weeks. I wrote the whole approach up in a short ebook. Comment “clients” if you'd like the link.
The rule: A lesson from your own work. The ask is “comment” or “DM me”, never “buy now”.
Example: an ebook on running better meetings
Post on LinkedIn
Before I book a meeting now, I write down the decision we need to make. If I can't write one, I send a message instead. It cut my calendar by about a third. It's chapter one of a short book I wrote on meetings. Comment “meetings” and I'll send it over.
The rule: A lesson from your own work. The ask is “comment” or “DM me”, never “buy now”.
Example: an ebook on salary negotiation
Post on LinkedIn
The best salary negotiation line I know is a question: “Is there any flexibility on that number?” It's polite, it doesn't name a figure, and it almost always gets you something. I've collected 20 lines like it in a short guide. If you've got an offer coming up, comment “offer” and I'll send it.
The rule: A lesson from your own work. The ask is “comment” or “DM me”, never “buy now”.
“I wrote a book” gets polite likes. A useful lesson gets comments from people who want more.
Keep the ask conversational. People who comment are already halfway to reading.
Send what you promised, quickly. It's the moment they're most interested.
Frame every post around a work problem your reader has this week.
Post short stories built around one lesson from the book, invite people to comment if they want it, send them the link, and add the ebook to your profile's Featured section.
Yes, through a link to your store. LinkedIn has no shop, so most authors share the link with people who comment and keep it in the Featured section of their profile.
Business, career, leadership, sales and skills ebooks: anything that helps someone do their job better.
Yes. Upload the ebook or paste its link, and Postomate writes LinkedIn posts from the lessons inside, ending with a comment or message ask rather than a hard sell.
Your first posts are written while you set up. Approve each one, or let it run on autopilot.
