LinkedIn Ghostwriting Services

The problem with ghostwriting

Ghostwriting has a bad reputation, and mostly deserved. The standard model is: an agency takes a brief, generates a batch of posts, and schedules them. The posts are competent. They are also interchangeable, they could have been written about any founder in any category, which is precisely what the audience notices.

The failure is upstream of writing. It is a sourcing problem. The writer has no access to the founder’s actual reasoning, so they substitute generic frameworks, borrowed opinions and hollow certainty.

This service is built to fix the sourcing problem, because everything downstream depends on it.

The model

Record once a month  →  Extract positions  →  Draft  →  You approve  →  Publish
        ↑                                                                    |
        └────────────── what worked, what got pushback, what's next ─────────┘

One recording session a month. You talk; we ask questions. We are listening for decisions, disagreements, reversals and specifics, the four things that make content attributable to a person rather than to a category.

The voice guide. Written after the first session and maintained continuously. It captures:

• Sentence length and rhythm, do you write short and clipped, or long and layered?
• Vocabulary, the words you use and the ones you would never use
• Structural habits, do you open with a claim, a story, a question or a number?
• Banned constructions, for most executives this includes “thrilled to announce”, “delve”, “game-changer”, ”🚀” and anything that reads as engagement bait
• Worked examples, two or three posts you have written yourself or strongly approved, kept as the reference for future drafts

Approval is not optional. Nothing is published without your explicit sign-off. That is a guarantee, not a feature bullet: the account is yours, the reputation is yours, and you remain the last gate.

What a typical month looks like

Four to eight substantive posts a month, plus comment strategy on threads where your presence matters more than your post.

What we write and what we do not

We write: positions you hold, lessons from real decisions, explanations of how you think about your category, honest reversals, and specific observations from work you are actually doing.

We do not write: invented client results, fabricated testimonials, statistics we cannot trace to a source, claims about competitors, opinions you do not hold, or engagement-bait formats designed to game distribution.

That second list is longer than most agencies are comfortable with. It is also the reason clients stay: nothing published under your name will need to be quietly deleted later.

What this is not for

• Volume programmes. If the goal is three posts a day, this is not it.
• Anonymous company accounts. Ghostwriting works because a named person stands behind the words. A brand account gains nothing from the model.
• Launching from zero expertise. If there is no body of work to interview against, start with personal branding consulting to build the foundation first.

How we measure

Output is the easy part and the least important. The monthly report leads with:

1. Approval velocity, how quickly drafts move through review, which is the leading indicator that the programme will survive a busy quarter.
2. Engagement composition, who is responding. A comment from a target-market buyer is worth more than fifty from peers.
3. Inbound attribution, how many conversations reference something you published rather than your job title.

Reach and follower counts are recorded for context only.
