🚨 DO YOU KNOW HOW TO USE YOUR PINNED POST?

You have 1 shot to make a strong impression when someone lands on your profile.

Don’t waste it on:

ā–Ŗ a random viral post from 2022

ā–Ŗ a thread that no longer reflects your work

ā–Ŗ a motivational quote that could be from anyone

If your pinned post doesn’t tell me who you are or why I should follow you, it’s doing nothing for you.

🧲 YOUR PINNED POST = YOUR INTRO

Because:

āœ” It’s the first thing a profile visitor sees

āœ” It shows up on feeds as suggested content

āœ” It’s your shot to convert lurkers into followers

So what should it actually include?

(It’d mean the world to me if you click the ad links.
Doesn’t cost you anything, but it’ll add $ to my revenue from them)

Find your next winning ad creative in seconds with AI

Most AI tools promise you thousands of ads at the click of a button. But do you really need more ads—or just better ones?

Kojo helps you cut through the noise. We analyze your paid social data to uncover the ideas with the highest chance of success. Then, our AI predicts which concepts will perform best, so you don’t waste budget testing what won’t work.

Instead of drowning in endless variations, Kojo sends your best idea straight to a real human creator who makes it engaging, authentic, and ready to win on social. The entire process takes less than 20 seconds, giving you certainty before you spend and better performance without the waste.

Why gamble on guesswork or settle for AI spam when you can launch ads proven to work, made by people, and backed by data?

🚨 OKAY BACK TO TOPIC 🚨

🧩 What to Include in a Perfect Pinned Post:

→ Who you are
→ What you do
→ Why you’re here (what you’re building or sharing)
→ Your vibe or personality (inject you)
→ A pretty pic / video (some kinda image if you’re anon)
→ Optional: CTA to follow, sub, reply, etc.

Make it punchy. Make it you.

Make it so that stranger feels the need to hit the follow because they feel connected to you.

No one should have to to dig through your timeline to ā€œfigure you out.ā€

Your pinned post should tell them in 15 seconds flat.

Here’s my current one for reference:

Switch it up every other month or so… put a new spin on it and re-intro people to yourself

🧪 Formula You Can Steal

Try this layout for a starter pinned post:

Hey I’m [Name] šŸ‘‹šŸ½  
I [what you do] for [your audience type].  
Here to share [topic/content type].  
Current focus → [what you’re building/posting].  
Follow if you’re into [personality hook / niche / POV].

↳ End with a quick CTA or link in comments to funnel people to your other channels or platforms.

ā˜‘ YOUR MISSION (should you choose to accept it)

Reply with your current pinned post.

I’ll give you honest, no-fluff feedback on how to make it better. Or how you can write yours!

Let’s make a banger first impression from here on out!
