Pricing
LinkedIn ghostwriting pricing, from $2,500 a month.
A LinkedIn ghostwriter at Underdog starts from $2,500 a month, with publishing included and no setup fee. The entry offer is four LinkedIn posts a week, written, designed and scheduled. Scope beyond that is quoted on a call. Ninety days is the minimum, because that is how long a cadence needs before it compounds. What the service is, in brief, is on the homepage. Market rates, including freelance per-post figures and the cases where a freelancer is the better buy, are in the 2026 cost and pricing guide.

Who it is for
Your buyers already spend time on LinkedIn, and you have either gone quiet or hired a writer whose posts could belong to anyone. From $2,500 a month, the entry offer is four LinkedIn posts a week, written, designed and scheduled: voice capture, the living guide, the 30-minute session, publishing, and a monthly engagement report showing who engages with the posts, with ICP-adjacent people highlighted and their contact details. If the feed is the whole job, the engagement is on hire a LinkedIn ghostwriter.
A larger brief, more volume, or work across more than LinkedIn, is scoped on the call. Unlimited revisions sit in the engagement, and the drafts, the published work and the voice guide stay yours if you leave. Splitting posts and outbound across two vendors usually costs more and converts worse, because the two teams rarely share a buyer.
The starting price does not change when the name on the work carries the company. If a board or a communications lead is a second reader, read executive ghostwriting and the executive ghostwriter week. The LinkedIn ghostwriting agency page is the one about who keeps posting when a person is away.
What changes the scope
The public price is from $2,500 a month. That entry offer is four LinkedIn posts a week, written, designed and scheduled, with capture, the session, publishing and the monthly engagement report. Volume, formats and how many platforms you need are what change the scope, and that figure is quoted on a call.
The call is about twenty minutes. Deliverables, month by month, are on the services page.
The 90-day view guarantee
We guarantee 100,000 LinkedIn views within 90 days. The guarantee applies only if you give Underdog full autonomy over the content strategy: which topics we cover, which formats we use, how often we post, and when those posts go live. If you direct those choices, the guarantee does not apply. You still approve every word before anything is published. We do not sell a follower package. The guarantee is 100,000 LinkedIn views across those 90 days. It is not a promise that one post will go viral.
What the price leaves out
The invoice carries no setup fee. We will not invent opinions you have never held, and nothing goes live without your sign-off.
The four LinkedIn posts a week are already written, designed and scheduled. Further scope is quoted on a call. A single essay or speech you will edit and then finish is a freelancer's job. You still give about 30 minutes a week; if that time is missing, the voice drifts, and we would rather decline the work. Legal or communications, where your company needs them, review before anything ships. Book ghostwriting is a different trade. Those bands are in the 2026 cost and pricing guide.
A freelancer, an in-house hire, or your own week
The wider market's dollar bands, including freelance per-post rates, are in the 2026 guide. This is the decision those figures sit inside.
| Doing it yourself | Freelancer | In-house | Underdog | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fits when | You have the hours, and you will still be posting in month four | One essay or speech you will edit line by line, then stop | LinkedIn sits inside a programme you already manage, and you can absorb a resignation | The posts have to keep converting when one person is away |
| You still carry | The writing, the cadence and the publishing, every week | Strategy, editing, scheduling, and whether anyone books a meeting | The hire, the ramp, and a voice guide that leaves with them if it lives in one head | About 30 minutes a week, and the approval line. Publishing sits with the firm |
| What you pay | A day of CEO time each week: five posts, an hour each | Per-post rates, published in the 2026 cost guide | A good content lead at $120k a year, before a designer and the management overhead | From $2,500 a month. Scope beyond the entry offer is quoted on a call. |
Hire the freelancer for the one-off. Hire in-house when you want a department and you will run it. Hire us when the presence has to outlast a holiday. That team is the LinkedIn ghostwriting agency.

How to judge the return
Before you buy, price one new client in a quarter against the retainer. If that client is worth more than the fees, and you will show up for the weekly session, the maths can work. If you need a full pipeline in the first fortnight, or you cannot name who should be reading, we will say so on the call.
Judge the quarter on replies from the right accounts, profile visits from named buyers, and meetings booked. One client signed business in week two, off a post that reached 2M views. Treat that as a receipt. Another quarter took an account from 4,000 followers to 38,000 and 11.5M views. Both are on the results page. One warm conversation from a buyer who already respects you can cover a quarter of a specialist retainer. See whether LinkedIn ghostwriting is worth it before you decide.
What the first quarter looks like
You start with a fit call of about twenty minutes. We map the buyer, the voice and the time you can give, and we quote any scope beyond the entry offer on that call. Clients go live and are posting within two weeks. We decline the work when there is no named buyer, or when the weekly half hour is not available.
Voice capture comes before a post goes out: how you decide, the lines you will not cross, the stories you already tell clients. Later drafts are checked against that guide, and the guide updates when you push back. Most clients stop editing after the first month. Unlimited revisions are in the engagement.
Then the week repeats. Research has already flagged what moved in your market. You talk for 30 minutes. Senior writers draft from that session, editors cut anything that reads like a template, and drafts come back within days. You review in minutes. Nothing publishes without your approval. We schedule, publish, and send the report card, and the next week moves because of it. The same week is itemised on the services page.
Month one is the capture. There is a 21-day get-out clause. The drafts, the published work and the voice guide stay yours.

Questions buyers ask
How much does a LinkedIn ghostwriter cost?
Underdog starts from $2,500 a month, with publishing included and no setup fee. The entry offer is four LinkedIn posts a week, written, designed and scheduled. Scope beyond that is quoted on a call. We guarantee 100,000 LinkedIn views within 90 days, and only if you give Underdog full autonomy over the content strategy: topics, formats, posting cadence and timing. If you direct those choices, the guarantee does not apply. Freelance per-post rates are in the 2026 cost and pricing guide.
What does the engagement from $2,500 a month include?
From $2,500 a month, the entry offer is four LinkedIn posts a week, written, designed and scheduled, in your voice, plus voice capture, a 30-minute session, publishing, a monthly engagement report and unlimited revisions. The report shows who engages with the posts, with ICP-adjacent people highlighted and their contact details. Clients go live and are posting within two weeks. Scope beyond that is quoted on a call. You keep the drafts, the published work and the voice guide if you leave. There is a 21-day get-out clause.
How is the scope decided?
The entry offer is four LinkedIn posts a week, written, designed and scheduled. Anything beyond that, including more volume or other formats, is quoted on a call. If a board is a second reader, start with executive ghostwriting and the executive ghostwriter page. The starting price is the same.
What is not included in the price?
No setup fee, and no follower package. The four LinkedIn posts a week are already written, designed and scheduled. Further scope is quoted on a call. We guarantee 100,000 LinkedIn views within 90 days, and only if you give Underdog full autonomy over the content strategy: topics, formats, posting cadence and timing. If you direct those choices, the guarantee does not apply. A single essay you will edit and then stop is a freelancer's job. You still give about 30 minutes a week and approve every word. Legal or communications review, where your company needs it, happens before anything ships.
Why do you ask for ninety days?
Ninety days is the minimum for content to compound. Month-to-month work quietly selects for clients who leave before that. We would rather lose the deal than sell a month of nothing. A one-week sample tells you whether you recognise a draft. It tells you little about a cadence.
Are there setup fees or extras?
No setup fee. Voice capture, the weekly session, publishing and the monthly engagement report are inside the entry offer. The entry offer is four LinkedIn posts a week, written, designed and scheduled. Further scope is quoted on a call. The number you are quoted is the number.
How does this compare with a freelancer, an in-house hire, or doing it myself?
A freelancer is one diary, and the per-post figures are in the 2026 cost guide. A good content lead runs $120k a year before a designer. Five posts a week, an hour each, is a day of your time. Hire the agency when the cadence has to survive a holiday. Our retainers are from $2,500 a month.
How do I judge whether the retainer was worth it?
Across ninety days, count replies from the right accounts, profile visits from named buyers, and meetings booked. If one new client in a quarter is worth more than the retainer, the maths can work. If you need a full pipeline in the first fortnight, walk away. One client signed business in week two from a single post. The other figures are on the results page.
What happens after I sign?
A twenty-minute fit call maps the scope, or tells you the work is the wrong shape. Voice capture comes before a post goes out. Then one 30-minute session a week: senior writers draft, you approve, we publish, and a report card follows. Month one is voice capture. There is a 21-day get-out clause. It does not auto-lock, and the voice guide is yours to keep.
Do you use AI to keep the price down?
Research agents monitor the market around the clock. Senior writers and editors write every piece, and nothing is published that a machine wrote end to end.
What if I want to stop?
There is a 21-day get-out clause. Everything produced, including your voice guide, is yours to keep.
Is per-post pricing cheaper than a retainer?
The invoice is smaller, and it usually converts worse, because nobody on it owns whether a meeting gets booked. Rates are in the 2026 cost and pricing guide. A retainer is one monthly fee for strategy, voice, writing, editing, scheduling, publishing and a report. Our retainers run from $2,500 a month.
Is it cheaper to buy content and outbound separately?
Usually it costs more and converts worse. Splitting posts and outbound across two vendors usually costs more and converts worse, because the two teams rarely share a buyer. A combined scope is quoted on a call.
