What a LinkedIn ghostwriter is
A LinkedIn ghostwriter is a person or an agency who writes the posts that go out under your name. Most work on a monthly retainer: a regular call to draw out your stories and views, a set number of posts, rounds of revisions and often the scheduling.
Why people move to innernote
Priced like software, because it is
In Executive Presence's 2026 guide for founders, a solo ghostwriter starts around $2,000 a month, and full-service agencies charge far more. innernote is $29 a month, or $19 billed yearly. The low end of one month's retainer covers more than eight years of innernote billed yearly.
There the night you have the thought
A ghostwriter writes from a call, on their schedule. innernote is there at eleven at night when the story finally comes to you: say it in a voice note and it becomes a post in your voice. If you are not ready to post it, it waits in Capture. Nothing needs a week of notice.
Every post starts from your own words
A ghostwriter learns your voice over weeks of calls and revisions. innernote learns from your own posts and every edit you make, and keeps a notebook of your stories and the people you work with that you can read and correct. You read every post before it goes out, and you can change any line yourself.
We can run it for you, too

You give a call every couple of weeks and ten minutes a week to read. It is month to month, and everything stays in your own account.

Can AI replace a LinkedIn ghostwriter?
For the writing, it can, when the AI knows you. An AI that knows nothing about you writes the average of what it has read. innernote writes from your own posts, your edits and what you tell it, so a draft sounds like you on a good day. What a good ghostwriter adds is a person: someone to draw the story out of you, hold a plan for months and keep you to it. If that is what you want, Done for you gives you that person on the same product.
