Draft with Claude, inject the human layer by hand, and ghostwrite LinkedIn for founders and executives at $2-5K/mo per client
In 2026 the LinkedIn algorithm actively suppresses posts that pattern-match as AI-written — paste raw ChatGPT and you get buried. Executives have no time to write themselves, so they have to hire someone who can draft with Claude and then put the human back in. That someone is you.
Fewer bars = easier, cheaper, or faster for an AI-assisted solo builder. Editorial judgments based on the case details.
Shane calls executive LinkedIn ghostwriting one of the biggest sleeping opportunities in the entire video. The name he gives is Nicholas Cole — over the past five years he has personally made more than $3.75 million from ghostwriting alone, starting from zero clients, zero network, and zero experience, and is now one of the highest-paid ghostwriters in the world. More importantly, Cole is no longer an outlier: top LinkedIn ghostwriters charge $500-$700 an hour, which Shane describes as lawyer money for writing LinkedIn posts. There's also a real agency, Crackle PR, charging $5,000-$10,000 per month for LinkedIn ghostwriting — note that's per company, per month. These numbers show ghostwriting isn't a gig-economy scrap; it's a formed market with genuinely high tickets and mature agencies already operating in it.
The channel and the product are the same thing here: a ghostwriter with a dead LinkedIn account cannot sell LinkedIn, so the writer's own feed is the portfolio.

Data credibility: The video cites Nicholas Cole making $3.75M ghostwriting over five years, Crackle PR charging $5-10K/mo per company, and an executive whose ghostwritten posts led to a $1.2M partnership as validation of the model; the $2-5K/mo per client and 3-5 client annual income figures are the creator's projection, not evidence from this side hustle, so it's logged as potential. All revenue figures are founder-reported or estimated by the video creator, unaudited.
The comparables set the number before any negotiation starts. Crackle PR charges $5,000 to $10,000 a month per company for LinkedIn ghostwriting, top independents bill $500 to $700 an hour, and against that a solo writer at $2,000 to $5,000 a month reads as the reasonable option rather than the cheap one.
Renewal is the engine. Once an executive's LinkedIn is reliably producing engagement and inbound, stopping means watching a personal brand they just built go quiet, so the retainer tends to renew by default rather than by persuasion.
LinkedIn pays out slowly, and months two and three are where retainers die. By then a client has spent six to ten thousand dollars, seen some engagement, and closed nothing, which is exactly when the business case feels thin.
