Side Hustle: How I Make $3,000+ Ghostwriting For CEO’s On LinkedIn
I’m a ghostwriter.
I write articles for CEOs and business leaders on LinkedIn.
It’s my side hustle, and it brings in over $3000 a month.
It all started when I was working as a freelance writer, struggling to make ends meet. I was constantly pitching ideas to publications and trying to build up my portfolio.
But then one day, I stumbled upon an opportunity that would change everything.
A friend of mine who worked as an executive assistant for a CEO told me that her boss needed someone to help him with his LinkedIn presence. He wanted to start posting articles and thought he could benefit from having a ghostwriter.
At first, I was hesitant.
I had never written for LinkedIn before and wasn’t sure if I had the expertise or knowledge to do so.
But my friend assured me that her boss was open to giving someone new a chance and I decided to go for it.
To my surprise, the CEO loved my writing and within a few months, I became his go-to ghostwriter for all of his LinkedIn content.
As he started gaining more traction on the platform, other business leaders started reaching out to me for help with their own profiles and articles.
Before I knew it, I had a steady stream of clients who were willing to pay top dollar for my services. And thus, my side hustle as a LinkedIn ghostwriter was born.
Now, in addition to my freelance writing gigs, I spend about 10–15 hours a week crafting compelling content for busy CEOs and executives on LinkedIn.
It’s become a crucial part of their personal branding and I am proud to help them share their stories and expertise with the world.
The best part?
Not only do I get paid for my work, but I also learn so much from these successful leaders.
They have taught me valuable lessons about business, leadership, and networking that I never would have…
