Linkedin Message Templates: How To Write & Examples

Need to write a linkedin message? Here are 3 simple steps to get started:

1. Gather the information you need to know.

Before you write anything, you need to know who or what you're writing about. The more specific you are, the more personalized you can make your content.

Here's our suggestions for writing a linkedin message:

Your name: [your name]
Your job title: [your job title]
Reader's name: [name of person you're reaching out to]
Reader's job title: [job title of person you're reaching out to]
How you can help the reader: [e.g. provide information, offer advice, etc.]
Specific action from the reader: [e.g. set up a meeting, connect with someone else, etc.]

2. Determine the structure of your output.

The structure of your content is just as important as the content itself. The structure of your content is how you're going to arrange the information in the content to make it easier for the readers to read and understand.

Introduce yourself and explain why you're reaching out
Explain how you can help the reader
Ask for a specific action from the reader
Provide a way for the reader to contact you

3. Write the content or use Copy.ai to help you get started. Once you have your structure down, you can start writing the content.

Example:

Hi [name of person you're reaching out to],

I'm [your name], and I'm a [your job title]. I was referred to you by [name of person you were referred by].

I hope you're doing well! I wanted to reach out because I can help you with [specific action].

Do you think it would be valuable for us to connect?

If so, please feel free to reach out at [contact info].

Thanks!


Example:

Hi [name],

I'm [your name], and I'm a [job title] at [company name].

I've been following your work for a while now, and I'm so impressed by what you've been able to accomplish in your career. I know that you're looking for some advice about [specific situation], and I wanted to reach out to see if we could set up a time to talk about it.

I have some expertise in the field, and I think I could provide some valuable insight. Do you have some time next week? Let me know what works best for you!


Example:

Hi [name],

My name is [your name], and I'm a [your job title]. I'm reaching out because I believe we could be a great fit for each other.

As a [your job title], I help people like you [specific action from the reader]. This is how I do it: [explain how you do it].

I'd love to get in touch with you to see if we could meet up for a quick call or coffee sometime in the next week. I think we could help each other out, and I'd love to find out if we're right for each other. If this sounds good to you, please let me know when your schedule is open so we can set something up!

I look forward to hearing from you soon!
