How much does LinkedIn ghostwriting cost?

Sell in Public → B2B LinkedIn content agency → LinkedIn ghostwriting

Keep one thing in mind with any price guide, including the ones linked here: nearly all of them are written by agencies that sell LinkedIn ghostwriting, and none explains how its numbers were gathered. Marketplace listings run far lower. When we checked the first page of Fiverr's LinkedIn ghostwriter gigs in November 2026, starting prices ran from $5 to $500, with a median of $30, and Upwork lists typical ghostwriter rates of $20–$45 an hour.

LinkedIn ghostwriting prices by option

These are the most recent public figures we could find, all checked in November 2026. Each row links to where the numbers come from.

The guides disagree at the edges: the per-post floor runs from $50 (Windmill Growth) to $300 (Foundera), and the top of the agency range from about $10,000 a month (Forj Media) to $25,000 (Executive Presence).

What agencies publish

A handful of agencies show list prices, which makes a useful reality check against the guides.

• Executive Presence lists $2,500 a month per executive for one post a week and $4,000 for two.
• BAMF, which builds personal brands for founders, lists a $4,000-a-month plan with 20 posts, shown with a $3,000 limited-time offer when we looked.
• Windmill Growth charges $3,999 a month for a plan with up to five posts a week plus outreach and inbox management.
• Stop The Scroll's pricing page starts a single profile at $2,950 a month on a month-to-month plan, with lower monthly prices on 90- and 180-day terms.

What moves the price up or down

• How often you post. Going from three posts a week to daily can add 50–80% to the fee, according to Windmill Growth.
• Where the ideas come from. A writer working from your bullet points costs less than one who interviews you and digs through sales calls. Forj Media names research and interview depth among the main price drivers.
• The writer's experience. Creator's March 2026 update puts newer writers at $200–$350 a post and senior writers at $600–$1,200.
• What's bundled in. Comment replies, profile rewrites, design, video and outreach get folded into some packages and billed separately in others. Engagement support alone runs $300–$600 a month in Creator's guide.

What's worth paying for

The expensive part of good ghostwriting is getting the ideas out of your head and onto the page in your words. Typing is cheap. If you're going to spend more, spend it on the parts that make posts specific.

Worth paying for:

• A regular conversation with your writer, or someone who mines your sales calls, customer stories and internal notes so posts come from real material.
• A writer who learns how you talk, pushes back on weak ideas and edits hard.
• Comments and replies written by a person, if you don't have time to do them yourself.
• A way to see whether posts reach buyers: tracked links, notes in your CRM, and what prospects mention on calls.

Usually not worth paying for:

• Daily posting before weekly posting has proven itself.
• Follower targets, engagement pods or automated comments.
• A long contract signed before you've seen a month of drafts.

Matching the price to the job

A freelancer is the right spend when one person is posting, you're happy to supply the ideas and you have time to edit. The lower fee mostly buys writing.

An agency makes more sense when you want someone else to run the program (interviews, editing, scheduling, comments, reporting) or when several people need to post in a consistent way.

An in-house hire makes sense once you have steady volume across several people and someone to manage the writer. Add benefits, tools and management time to the salary figures in the table.
