Overview

Clients provide the expertise and the authenticity — real opinions, real stories — and AI (ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity) reduces the drafting time once that material is captured through interviews. Sold on retainer to founders, executives and consultants who understand that a ghostwriter's job here is capturing their actual voice, not generating generic executive content that could belong to anyone.

Why it works

A client's expertise and authentic voice is what makes their content worth reading; AI just reduces the time it takes to turn an interview into a polished post. Ghostwriting that skips the interview and drafts from generic prompts instead produces exactly the generic executive content this service is meant to avoid.

How to start

Pick a niche (founders, executives, consultants) so your positioning and samples are specific.
Study that industry's LinkedIn landscape — what's overused, what's actually landing engagement.
Make 3-5 writing samples in a plausible executive voice to show prospects your range.
Create a structured interview form to extract opinions, stories and specifics efficiently.
Prospect executives who post rarely or generically despite having real expertise to share.
Sell a paid pilot (e.g. 4 posts) before committing to a monthly retainer.
Interview the client using the structured form, recording their actual words and stories.
Draft posts with ChatGPT or Claude, built strictly from that interview material.
Edit heavily for voice, since a first AI draft rarely sounds like the actual person.
Publish on a consistent schedule the client has agreed to.
Track engagement and inbound interest to justify renewing the retainer.
