Several providers price in US dollars, UK-based YellowInk among them, so check which currency a quote is in before you compare it with a sterling one.
What providers say the wider market charges. Some providers publish a range for the whole market as well as their own price. Each range below is that provider's own statement.
| Who says it | Range, as published |
|---|---|
| Kurogo, London agency (sterling) | £1k to £3k a month for solo freelancers and lite retainers; £3k to £8k for full-service done-for-you programmes; £10k to £25k for integrated media management |
| Potent, UK agency (sterling) | £2k to £8k a month per founder profile, "depending on volume and whether you add paid amplification" |
| Underdog Ghostwriting (US dollars) | $150–$600 a post for a freelancer; $500–$1,500 a month for a budget retainer; $2,000–$6,500 a month for a specialist retainer; $8,000–$15,000+ a month for a white-glove firm |
| Mylance (US dollars) | "Most charge $1,000 to $5,000 per month on a retainer"; budget writers from about $500 a month; premium, full-service engagements $5,000 to $15,000 and up; $50 to $100 a post at the low end and $300 to $500 for top writers |
| Windmill Growth, New York (US dollars) | "between $500 and $10,000 per month in 2026" |
| Lifast, which sells a $99 a month AI tool (US dollars) | "$500 to $8,000+ per month, depending on experience level and deliverables" |
Many agencies publish no price at all. ViralBrain, which sells an AI LinkedIn tool, checked the providers in its own LinkedIn ghostwriting roundup on 2 September 2026 and found that "exactly one of them shows prices on its site" (ViralBrain). Of the UK agencies we checked on 13 October 2026, Shake Content (London), Six Sells and NUOPTIMA showed no price on the pages linked here. When you see a confident market range, ViralBrain's advice is to ask "who was surveyed and whether the answer is anywhere on the page".
What does ORRJO charge for founder LinkedIn ghostwriting?
Founder LinkedIn ghostwriting runs inside ORRJO Demand Generation, from £2,500 a month + VAT, with channels and cadence scoped on a discovery call. There is no standalone ORRJO ghostwriting price.
| Question | ORRJO's answer |
|---|---|
| Price | Inside Demand Generation, from £2,500 a month + VAT |
| Standalone ghostwriting price | None published |
| How the scope is set | Channels and cadence scoped on a discovery call |
| Terms | A 3-month paid pilot is available to start. Engagements typically run 6 to 12 months, and committing to 12 months earns a discounted rate. |
| Bundling | Bundling with another ORRJO service comes at a discounted combined rate |
| Employee advocacy | No separate price on our pricing page |
Ghostwriting is one channel in that retainer. Our pricing page lists Demand Generation as covering:
- Content strategy and editorial cadence
- Organic LinkedIn distribution to named accounts
- Webinars and virtual events
- Podcast strategy and clip distribution
- Founder LinkedIn ghostwriting
- Dark social and ABM warming sequences
ORRJO sells retainers and sales days, and does not sell performance-based models. The wider breakdown of what demand generation agencies charge is in our guide to demand generation pricing.
When ORRJO is the wrong choice. If all you need is a set number of posts each month, several of the sterling packages and retainers in the table above cost less than £2,500 a month. And if you need pipeline inside thirty days, demand generation is the wrong first spend, and we would rather say that now.
How do LinkedIn ghostwriters charge: per post, package or retainer?
LinkedIn ghostwriters charge per post, per one-off package or by monthly retainer, and SocialKit, which makes social media management software, calls the monthly retainer "The default for ongoing exec accounts". Its guide sets out five models, shown here with the published examples we found.
| Model | How it works (SocialKit) | Best fit (SocialKit) | Published examples |
|---|---|---|---|
| Per post | Flat fee per published post | Testing a writer; irregular cadence | Underdog puts freelancers at $150–$600 a post. Mylance puts per-post rates at $50 to $100 at the low end and $300 to $500 for top writers. |
| Monthly retainer | Fixed number of posts per month | The default for ongoing exec accounts | Nautilus Marketing, £795 a month for 3 posts per week. Cleverly, $697 a month for 12 posts. |
| Retainer + strategy | Content plan, pillars, and reporting on top of drafting | Clients treating LinkedIn as a channel, not a hobby | Kurogo, from £2,000 a month, with positioning strategy and analytics in the retainer. |
| Sprint / day rate | Concentrated block: profile rewrite plus a month of posts | Launches, funding announcements, book releases | Shoaib Ahmed's fixed packages are the nearest published example: 15 posts for £2,500 + VAT, delivered in under 2 weeks. |
| Performance-based | Fee tied to followers or leads | Rarely works: the writer does not control the account | None found. ORRJO does not sell performance-based models. |
SocialKit's advice to buyers is to "ignore the per-post price in isolation and look at the total monthly cost against the hours the account genuinely consumes: your interview time, review time, and the writer's production time" (SocialKit). Kurogo says that once voice capture and content rhythm are established, client time commitment "reduces to roughly one hour per week".
What does a LinkedIn ghostwriting retainer include, and what costs extra?
SocialKit's scope table puts voice capture interviews, post drafting to an agreed cadence and two revision rounds per post inside the usual scope, and lists replying to comments as the client and a profile rewrite as items often billed separately. The table adds what published offers say about each item.
| Deliverable | Usually in scope? (SocialKit) | Often billed separately? (SocialKit) | What published offers say |
|---|---|---|---|
| Voice capture interviews (onboarding) | Yes, one-off and front-loaded | Sometimes a paid discovery sprint | Shoaib Ahmed includes a 1.5 or 2 hour research call. MeridianWeb starts with two 90-minute calls. Underdog's Presence tier includes voice capture. |
| Post drafting to an agreed cadence | Yes, the core deliverable | Not listed | Nautilus Marketing: 3 posts per week. Potent: 4 to 5 posts per week per founder. YellowInk: most clients receive 4 to 12 posts per month. |
| Two revision rounds per post | Yes | "Unlimited revisions never should be" | Shoaib Ahmed: one round of edits included. YellowInk: a review-and-approve process on every plan. |
| Content strategy and pillars | Depends on tier | Common upsell | Kurogo's retainer covers positioning strategy. Nautilus Marketing lists a custom strategy. |
| Scheduling and publishing | Often | Sometimes client-side | Nautilus Marketing: design, copy and scheduling. MeridianWeb: posts on schedule. |
| Replying to comments as the client | Rarely by default | Yes, a separate service | MeridianWeb replies to comments for the first 24 hours. Lifast says ghostwriters who also respond to comments and manage early engagement "add $500 to $1,200 per month to standard packages". |
| Profile rewrite (headline, About, Featured) | No | Yes, a one-off project | Kurogo's retainer covers profile management. |
| Monthly performance reporting | Depends on tier | Yes on lower tiers | Nautilus Marketing includes a monthly report. Underdog's Presence tier includes a report. |
| Paid promotion of posts | Not in SocialKit's table | Not in SocialKit's table | Potent: optional paid amplification at £1k to £5k a month of additional spend. |
SocialKit says "The line that causes the most friction is comment replies", and that "Agreeing scope before the first invoice prevents most of the disputes that end these relationships."
At ORRJO, founder LinkedIn ghostwriting sits on the Demand Generation price card with content strategy and editorial cadence, organic LinkedIn distribution to named accounts, webinars and virtual events, podcast strategy and clip distribution, and dark social and ABM warming sequences. Channels and cadence are scoped on a discovery call. How the ghostwriting itself runs week to week is set out on our LinkedIn ghostwriting and founder-led LinkedIn pages.
Is an AI tool or a freelancer cheaper than an agency?
On published prices, AI tools are the cheapest route, at $39 to $199 a month on Taplio and Supergrow and €39 or €69 a month on ViralBrain, while freelance and agency prices overlap. Mylance puts a generic AI tool at $20 to $100 a month, and Lifast, which sells a $99 a month tool, puts an entry-level freelancer at $500 to $1,500 a month and a top agency or expert at $3,500 to $8,000+ a month.
On freelancers, Windmill Growth, a New York firm, says "Freelancers typically cost 20% to 40% less than agencies for equivalent output." The prices we checked show the overlap: Shoaib Ahmed sells 15 posts for £2,500 + VAT as a one-off package, Joyce Asamoah lists $2,500 a month, and Nautilus Marketing, an agency, charges £795 a month excluding VAT for 3 posts per week. Kurogo draws its own line between the two: "A LinkedIn ghostwriter writes posts. Kurogo runs a full personal branding operation: positioning strategy, content production, profile management, PR, podcast bookings, funnel building and conversion infrastructure."
What does employee advocacy add to the cost?
Employee advocacy software is priced on its own: Vulse publishes £16 to £5 per user per month billed annually, depending on the number of seats, and DSMN8 sends a custom quote on annual contracts. ORRJO publishes no separate employee advocacy price.
LinkedIn's help centre says its "My Company tab and Employee Advocacy tab is no longer available", that the tabs and the curator admin role "will be gradually discontinued beginning in November 2024", and recommends contacting "your preferred external partner, such as a LinkedIn Marketing Partner" (LinkedIn Help).
| Option | Published price | What it is |
|---|---|---|
| Vulse | Billed annually: £16 per user per month for 1 to 10 seats, £12 for 11 to 49, £8 for 50 to 99 and £5 for 100 or more. Billed monthly: £22, £16, £11 and £7. | Employee advocacy software. Vulse's own example: "A 10-person team pays £160 a month on Vulse." Source |
| DSMN8 | Not published. "Tell us a little about your organization, and we'll send a custom quote." | Employee advocacy platform. Contracts are annual. Source |
| LinkedIn's own Employee Advocacy tab | Discontinued from November 2024 | Source |
| ORRJO (the publisher of this page) | No separate price on our pricing page | An advocacy programme we run, described on our employee advocacy page. Pricing |
If you want founder ghostwriting and an advocacy programme together, ask on the discovery call how the two would be scoped. We have not published a combined price.
What has ORRJO's LinkedIn work produced for a client?
myBasePay, a B2B compensation data platform, ran Brand, Demand and Lead Generation with ORRJO. Its case study records 139% LinkedIn follower growth and 56,000 impressions, and, with demand and lead generation running alongside, a 300%+ increase in inbound website leads in 8 weeks.
The work included a brand identity rebuilt from scratch, a refreshed website and "A LinkedIn presence built for consistent visibility with the right audience". The case study does not separate the LinkedIn figures from the rest of the programme, so read them as the result of the whole engagement, not of ghostwriting alone. The full story is in the myBasePay case study.
