Finding good ghostwriters is almost impossible. Most have writing skills or LinkedIn knowledge. Rarely both. These are three types:

Writers who know how to write but have no LinkedIn experience. They don't know yet what makes a good post stand out. But they easily could if they know how to hook people.

LinkedIn creators who are good at their own content but can't shed their voice for someone else. Just because things work for them doesn't mean it works when they do it for somebody else. It's hard to find the tone of the client and make it sound like them.

And then there are people who've done this for multiple clients across different agencies. After writing for different clients, taking on someone new is almost straightforward. 

(These have been extremely hard to come across 🥲)

A client I recently took on has a style similar to that of someone I worked with before. I had to experiment on that previous client to nail the tone of voice and writing style. That gave me what I needed for the next one.

That's why hiring is so difficult. It's usually one or the other. It's hard to find the mix. There's always a learning curve, and it can be very long. You might be very good for some types of people and writing styles, and not for others.

I've been able to be adaptable. 

But even for me, it's not always the case.

Consultant and Ghostwriter | Scale LinkedIn presence with strategy & systems. Helping other ghostwriters do the same.

At the end of 2025, I moved to a new place and decided to transform the guest bedroom into a proper home office. Not just a desk pushed against the wall - a full setup fitted to my needs.

I kept thinking about the desk I had back in China. So I went all in. Researched the plank of wood, the color of the paint, bought a bunch of accessories, and a new desktop. As I kept doing research on IG and YouTube for office aesthetics, I caught myself thinking: why am I not doing the same thing for my content and eventually my clients' content?

The research and aesthetics of how I wanted my personal office to be led to a new save list on different storytelling styles, new content pieces, and different ways of sharing content I want to try in 2026. 

Realized I can't find fresh angles by studying the same platform all day. Sometimes you need to step outside your feed. Just because of this, I think the investment in the new office is already paying off.

2 years ago, I left my job in China at 30. I had no backup plan and no idea what I'd do next.

I'd spent seven years building systems for companies and agencies there. Scaling social media departments from scratch. Managing email marketing campaigns that generated millions for clients. But I didn't want to stay there anymore.

So I moved back to Ecuador and figured it out.

Today, I'm growing a LinkedIn ghostwriting agency. We grew from 2 to 8 clients in 2025, and we want to double that number this year. 

In 2025 alone I did: 500+ posts for my clients, 17,060 followers, 5.2M impressions.

That’s two years of trial and error on LinkedIn. Testing what captures voice and what clients actually respond to.

Turns out you don't need a perfect plan. You just need to be willing to figure it out as you go.

No alternative text description for this image

I broke LinkedIn's number one best practice, and engagement actually went up.

I started writing on LinkedIn in 202,3 and there was a particular style that was working. One-liners. Short hooks. Line breaks everywhere. Some people still do it, but it's clear that it has caused some fatigue all across. 

Although big creators who focused on building solid communities still thrive with that. After all, it's not just the formatting.

However, in the niche we are in, we stopped using what we thought were best practices. For some of our clients, one-liners don't work. They think it's cheap. They think you're trying too hard. Big bulk paragraphs actually work very well. But then there's an art to what is a good paragraph.

The hard part is knowing when to break the "rules" versus when to follow them. 

That's where most people get stuck. 

They either follow best practices blindly or reject everything because they want to be different.

I guess the point is that playbooks are starting points, not the gospel.

I came across a clip from Anthony Smith, the editor for The Diary Of A CEO, where he explains how he needs to justify every single edit decision. It hit me immediately.

In my case, when writing for a client, every single line needs a reason to be there. There are many ways to write a hook. I need to justify why I think that hook will perform over others. Could be because others in that niche do it. It could be because it stacks credibility or shows contrast. It could be because it starts with a personal story, and that has worked in the past for that client.

Same with the stories we tell in the post. Does this benefit or entertain our audience? Is there clear value to them? Is there a lesson or advice they can take away from reading this? We try to justify every single line.

What Anthony said about his trailer editing process applies directly to ghostwriting: if someone asks why you chose this approach, you should be able to explain it. Not just "it sounds good" - actual reasoning based on what's worked for this client, what performs in their niche, what their audience responds to.

It holds you accountable. Makes you think harder about every element you're adding. And if you can justify it, it's meant to be there.

Want faster decisions from clients? Do 90% of the thinking first.

I used to send messages asking what we should do about something. Then I’d wait three days for a vague response that created more questions. The content would inevitably be delayed. 

Now, I’d rather present three options, recommend one, and ask for a yes or no.

It’s not that clients don’t want to help. It’s that open questions require way more mental energy than reacting to something concrete. 

When you ask someone to figure out the approach from scratch, you’re asking them to do work. When you present options, you’re making it easy to steer.

My job isn’t to make people do the hard thinking. It’s to do the thinking, then make it easy for them to decide.

So how did you end up writing with Harry Phokou ?

Last year, I made the most revenue in my life. 

But the biggest payout wasn't money. 
It was the connections I built along the way.

I went from zoom calls from my small room in Mexico
To standing on stage next fo top 1% entrepreneurs.

And every week I see at least one of them in London.

Oh and I still do small zoom calls even after having 300k!

Last year alone, I met:

Iman Gadhzi
Shan Hanif
Simon Squibb
Dan Priestley

People who had changed my life online, I got to thank them offline and even get to be part of their world.

Your network IS your net worth.

And you can build both, on LinkedIn. (I did).

They say “Your network is your net worth”. 100% true.

Entrepreneur and investor building businesses online | Featured on Forbes, Kajabi + Semrush | Helped 3,000+ people grow their personal brand and scale their businesses.

This is a very special moment for me.

To my female and immigrant followers, this is for you too.

I just spoke at one of the biggest events in the UK.
Next to legendary and legacy names, everyone knows.

And for some reason, I made it into the list too.

Even with a stutter and an accent.
Even with crazy imposter syndrome.
Even without being a Forbes 30u30...

When I started this journey, I felt like all odds were stacked against me. 

I got rejected 100s of times because of my grades.
I didn't get taken seriously enough because I was a girl.
I had to work twice as hard to get seen and heard too.

But I never let that stop me. I ignored it instead.

This moment right here is proof that ANYONE can win. 

All you need to do is to stop waiting to be chosen.

Choose yourself. The right people will choose you too.

And open doors you never thought you'd get to open.

I spent the last 90 days testing every LinkedIn hack. 

Here's what actually works in 2026 (for any niche):

Everyone is talking about the "new" LinkedIn algorithm.
But I just see it as more of the same, but 10x more specific.

I've grown brands from 0-100,000 followers here.
Grown my own to 300,000+ in the same time.

Mastered every format here, and helped others too.

And there are 3 core elements you need to implement:

1. Hyper-specific content (3x a week)

• Solve one exact problem per post
• Use industry language your clients use
• Speak directly to one person

Jake Ward mastered this for "boring" SEO.
Built kleo.so to $60kmrr  as a result of exactly that 

Alex Vacca mastered this for GTM.
Scaled his business to $6M ARR too

Their content is hyper-specific but simple.

Clients want to work with them because they get it.
Users want to engage with them because they simplify it.

2. Proof-First Content

80% tactical step-by-step frameworks and screenshots.
20% stories on how you're doing it (use stories)

The 80% builds trust, the 20% engages them more. 

Educate and storytell. Always both. 

3. LinkedIn Video (let me explain...)

Video reach might be down right now.
But it's the fastest way to prove authority. 

LinkedIn video is ok.
Linkedin Lives? They're a goldmine.

We had a LinkedIn live with 200 people.
Made $10,000 from it. 

People buy from people they trust. Video accelerates this! 

I'd limit these to 2 a month, though, no pressure. 

I left a checklist for you in the image below for you to script your first Linkedin video too btw.

This is the no-bs blueprint for entrepreneurs. 

It's not about more volume, it's about more insights.

Dominating LinkedIn isn't just about virality right now.
It's about building a brand that earns trust.

Keep your focus on your 1 thing. 

The rest will follow.

See you thursday, love - Lara x

pov: you stopped spending 10+ hrs writing content and started building $1M+ businesses with content. 

not long ago, 90% of my time was spent writing content. 

scrolling through my feed looking for ideas.
stressing about the hook, re-hook and content. 
trying to find the most popular format for 2025...

today i spend 10% on content and 90% on business.

built the best strategy to drive engagement to my content, but also manage different teams daily.

mastered growth content to get new followers.
mastered lead gen content to convert them into clients.

and if you're tired of feeling like you're stuck.
or if you're tired of rushing to write today's post. 

i spent the last week dissecting exactly how i did it. 

created a 200+ page long masterclass i'll deliver live. 

documented every step of the process for you to use.

join 4,000+ entrepreneurs and catch me tomorrow at 7pm LIVE: https://lnkd.in/eC5sm4cP

ps: what is the most time-consuming part of your content creation process? writing? ideas? engagement?

In November, my small business hit 200k/mo. 
If I had to start all over again from 0, here's what I'd do:

For content I'd focus on:

1. Educational content that is highly applicable 
2. Storytelling content that is highly relatable 

Too many people here just do one, but it isn't enough. 

You need to get attention by storytelling.
You need to get trust via specific breakdowns. 

Two hooks you can steal for each.

"9-Step SEO Content Strategy (Steal my 1M strategy)"
"pov: i just quit my 9-5 tech job to build a business"

For conversion, i'd focus on:

1. Building an email list as fast as possible
2. Sending weekly emails to my readers. 

Having attention is not enough if you don't convert it.

Post 4x a week. 1 lead magnet to move people to email.

This simple strategy is worth $1M. But no one does it.
It's boring, I know... but it works. 

Look, my friends... 

"Giving value" is no longer enough to grow your business or personal brand. 

The millionaires on this platform are shifting to email.
But getting traffic from LinkedIn. 

Build your brand, sell out your business.

Masterclass, over 🫳🏼🎤... wait not really. 

Jan 22nd, we're revealing exactly how you can do it too.

From content to lead magnets to conversion, I'll show you everything I've ever done live so you can use it this year.

pov: you're about to launch a tech startup in London with friends in your 20s (bts of a $1M biz).

there's something so surreal about this business. 

it wouldn't even be a reality without linkedin.

jake and i met on linkedin.
broke into the top 0.1% in less than a year.

we built businesses all through organic content.
made millions of dollars along the way. 

today we're running the same playbook for our startup. 

getting leads without spending a single dollar on ads. 
converting customers through our personal brands.
getting insane opportunities because we do it publicly. 

most people overcomplicate growth - we didn’t.

to build a profitable business you need 3 things:

1. a single platform (linkedin)
2. a skill you're good at
3. writing outstanding content daily (with kleo).

we're revealing exactly how we do it step by step in 2 weeks.

the first 1,000 people get 4 playbooks to use for content and business!

pov: you're in your 20s, building a business people love

(people traveled across the world to tell us this!)

today, Kleo has helped people gain over 1,233,394 views. 

• landed our exec clients 5/6 fig deals through linkedin. 
• helped many get new sponsors for their businesses.
• got them dms filled with speaking opps! 

i've always said that linkedin changed my life.
but it feels 10x better seeing it happen for others. 

this is your reminder that perfection is overrated. 

messy, consistent and public action is better.

and honestly you never know... your next post could change your entire career. it happens every day here. 

we're in the golden era of linkedin.

who's in? 

to celebrate, come to my free live class on the 22nd: https://lnkd.in/eC5sm4cP

we're giving away FREE access to Literally Academy to people who join kleo during launch week too...

(don't tell my team please)

PS: repost ♻️ this to get a FREE gift from me, with love.

I went on my dream podcast, but nearly canceled it.

Felt like an imposter the entire day; I was nervous.
Self-doubt was loud in my head, and I was scared. 

Almost as though I hadn't built anything ever. 

But going on a podcast with 754k subscribers is something I've never done before. What if I failed?

Imposter syndrome doesn't pick favorites, I guess.
But you can always decide how much it affects you.

And I didn't let it. I showed up (nervous, but showed up).

No matter how many followers I have or businesses I build, sometimes all I see are failures and rejections. 

If you relate, let me leave you with my favorite lesson:

You're not bad at things, just new at them. 

From LinkedIn, to work, to a stage... keep going. 

Watch the full interview here: https://lnkd.in/e_Er4XCq

PS: What podcast would YOU love to be on?

I'm putting together a FREE class showing you exactly how we built an organic content engine that brings us opportunities like these!

pov: you locked yourself in a room until your new tech business made $100,000 (without vc funding or ads).

but before i tell you what happened my room.

let me remind you of 1 thing. 

ideas mean nothing without execution. 

stop planning.
stop going to events.
stop trying to find investors.

do the thing first, fill the gaps later.

hope this inspires you to take imperfect action.

Results so far? 213,833 impressions in 30 days.
392 sign-ups for our software in under 10 days.

This is the copy-paste strategy every founder can use. 

I included 3 key elements no one talks about. 

1. How to stand out from day 1
2. The 4-3-2-1 Content Framework I built
3. How to use AI to write better content, faster 
4. Turning ideas into highly educational content
5. Turning stories into engaging viral pieces 

If you've been looking for a high-level strategy. This is it. 

Most people pay me $2k/hr for this.
Today you get it for FREE. 

Watch the full video here: https://lnkd.in/eTX2Qtrk

But whatever you do, don't share this.
I might get in trouble for giving so much away for free..

Shoutout Cam Trew for locking in so hard... 

PS: I want to do more of these LIVE, if you're a founder/creator in London, comment below and maybe you can be next! Repost ♻️ so we find you faster:)

The best entrepreneurs I know don't believe in work-life balance. This advice is flawed in many ways. 

Most spent YEARS in seasons of imbalance.

Which is what helps them have balance today. 

Personally, I don't have work-life balance. 
It's not that I don't believe in balance. It’s just unrealistic.

What I DO believe in is knowing that it is a privilege to be tired in the pursuit of challenge of your own choosing.

Pressure is a privilege, which I remind myself of daily.

Shoutout to the tired entrepreneurs building right now, I see you and root for you ♥️.
