What if you could have a proven LinkedIn system that takes less than 50 minutes to set up—and continues working for you, even while you focus on your business?

The Simplest LinkedIn Growth System for Founders & CEOs

I’ve created a no-nonsense system that lets you build authority, attract leads, and grow effortlessly—without overcomplicated tactics or high-ticket retainers.

Ghostwriter & Copywriter

Your personality, Your thoughts, Your message.
(I only write…for You)

Upwork

Part-time chameleon, full-time scriptwriter – I ghostwrite like I’ve lived a hundred lives. 
Capturing voices and bringing stories to life is what I do best.

If posting on LinkedIn feels like work… it’s because it is.

Most founders post at night, second-guess in the morning, and delete by noon.
Then wonder why their pipeline’s cold.

If that’s you, you’re not alone.
But you also don’t have to stay stuck.

👋 I’m Laszlo.
I ghostwrite for founders & CEOs who want credibility and calls, without faking it or burning out.

Here’s what I do:
→ I write like you actually sound
→ I make your ideas land in the right inbox
→ I give you back your weekends

10+ leads in 60 days for multiple clients.
One client booked a lead in 10 days.
I’ve written over 1,300+ posts across 20+ industries.
Grew my own following to 6,800+ without ads.
And every word is handcrafted, not AI-churned.

But forget the numbers for a sec.

Here’s what they really say:

“He captured my voice better than I could.”
“It felt like I had a partner, not a ghostwriter.”
“I actually enjoy LinkedIn again.”

Full testimonials in the Featured section.

If you:
– Want to buy back 3–6 hours weekly
– Want to stop sounding smart and start sounding like yourself
– Believe content should create calls, not crickets

DM “Let’s go.”

No theatre. No fluff. 
Just posts that sound like you and sell like hell.

Laszlo Konkoly

I used five “offices” in the last 72 hours, the one that changed everything wasn’t even a real room.

I’m on a short trip to Hungary with my pregnant wife.

While waiting for her, I worked from:

– a hairdresser
– a car
– my childhood room
– a coffee bar
– her parents’ living room

2 years ago, I couldn’t have imagined this.

I was a burned-out store manager, running on fumes, convinced I had no options.

That’s when my plan borned:
I’ll build something I can do from anywhere.

Any time.
Even on holiday for an hour.

A business that feels like freedom, not another cage.

Today, ghostwriting isn’t my job.
It’s the life I chose and finally earned.

Don’t give up.
Fight for your dream.
It pays you back in moments like these.

What’s the craziest spot you’ve ever worked from?

probably not the best ghostwriter, but every client smiled. Copy that works -​> reviews below. (soon to be dad, love our doggo, and love fishing)

We drove into Norway in a 13-year-old Fiat Punto… carrying one invisible advantage I had no clue I possessed, the kind that quietly compounds for years.

Back then I had nothing.
No language.
No plan.
No money.

Just questions…
and that strange engine inside me that refuses to quit.

12 years ago — room for 2 weeks
11 years ago — 3 jobs, 5 months straight
10 years ago — Thailand
9 years ago — took the family to Greece
8 years ago — paid for our wedding
7 years ago — honeymoon in Mauritius
6 years ago — bought our first home
5 years ago — second passport
4 years ago — dream car
3 years ago — manager 9-5 + studied marketing at night
2 years ago — IVF + launched my ghostwriting business

5 months ago — found out we’re having a baby
7 days ago — hit 7,000 followers

Somewhere in that chaos… I found myself.

Tiny steps.
Ugly steps.
Forgotten steps.

They compound into the life you brag about years later.

It wasn’t luck.
It was staying power.
And a little joyful obsession.

Celebrate your wins.
Celebrate your wins.
Celebrate your wins.
Celebrate your wins.

They matter more than you think.

I need everyone’s attention for one minute

Please… stop being so painfully 
normal on LinkedIn.

Be weird. Be loose.
Be the person who makes someone spit out their morning coffee because your post was that unhinged.

Why am I saying this?

After writing 1,300+ posts for founders and CEOs… one pattern is louder than everything else:

The weird posts win.
The “safe” posts die. 
(Nobody remember your billboard quote) 

Every. Single. Time.

Founders who actually grow here:
1. Drop the perfect-act
2. Say the thing they really think
3. Try formats nobody expects
4. Show some actual personality, not robot-mode

One client’s top post was him ranting while eating cold pizza.
Another? A stupid little story about his dog.
Both outperformed their “smart” posts by a mile.

Why?
Because humans follow humans.
Not LinkedIn mannequins trying to impress the feed.

And here’s the kicker:

The stranger you are, the harder it is for AI 
to fake you.

AI can mimic “professional.”
It cannot mimic whatever chaos is in your brain at 02:00.

So here’s your permission slip:
Be the person someone reads on the toilet and quietly laughs at.

Show your edges.
Break your own rules.
Make LinkedIn less boring.

For the brave souls in the comments:

Say something your VA would never approve.
Something messy.
Something real.

Looking for: one (1) sane CEO. 
Must be: 
Not allergic to delegating 

Not married to their own drafts 
Not rewriting every sentence “just because it feels better” 
Not convinced their 11pm post is “authentic” 
Not chasing likes like a teenager on TikTok 

Bonus points if: 
- You want your evenings back 
- You know writing is a real skill 
- You don’t treat your ghostwriter like Grammarly 
- You’d rather run your business than wrestle with a blank page 

I’m not looking for: 
The ones who think ghostwriting is cheating 
The “rewrite it again… and again… and again” guy 
The “I could do this myself; I just don’t have time” hero 
The ones who want results without letting go of the pen 
The “$3,000 is too much but I just bought a new MacBook” genius 
The dopamine-addicted “I posted at 2am and got 74 likes!!!” crowd 

I’m looking for one thing: 
A grown adult who actually wants to win, not play LinkedIn dress-up. 

If that’s you, cool. 
If not, also cool. 
Stay cheap, stay tired, stay stressed, I’m not your guy. 

But if you want: 
Real leads 
Real clarity 
Real authority and 3-6 hours of your week back 

Then yeah… this little “newspaper ad” might’ve been written for you.

DM "SANE" and you get an insane discount until 30.November.

I realised my biggest secret isn’t the AI commenting I do… it’s the ridiculous reason behind it. 
(I'd recommend finding a similar reason)

Not guilt, 
not burnout, 
not algorithmic pressure, just the fact that I’d rather sit next to my pregnant wife than pretend to be interesting on the internet.

I use AI more than I planned to, and for a while, I blamed the algorithm, as if it were some impatient neighbour banging on the wall for attention.

But the truth is warmer. 

She still makes me laugh like I used to with my high-school friends, the kind of laughter that gets you kicked out of quiet places. 

And when that’s the alternative, the digital noise suddenly feels negotiable.

I don’t use AI everywhere, and you couldn’t tell where I did. 

But when the choice is between another clever comment on LinkedIn and being beside her while she grows our child, the decision writes itself.

Some confessions get lighter once you stop hiding them. 

This one did.

A petition to “fix LinkedIn” just hit 1,200 signatures.
Wild…
because there’s only 1 thing on this platform that needs fixing
and it isn’t the algorithm.

People are acting like LinkedIn stole their lunch money.
They’re tired.
They’re mad.

They think the platform owes them reach.

But here’s the truth nobody wants to touch:
People aren’t angry at LinkedIn.

They’re angry because they know there’s money here…
and their content isn’t earning attention anymore.
That’s it.

Not fairness.
Not rules.
Just lost dopamine and missed opportunity.

Here’s the part that stings:

If you write for the algorithm, the algorithm owns you.
If you write for buyers, your business owns you.

- I’ve posted 1,300+ times
- I’ve had 3-hour posts die at 27 likes
- I’ve had 10-minute posts explode

Nobody understands this machine.
But your prospects?

They understand problems.
They understand clarity.
They understand solutions that make them money.

The algorithm doesn’t grow your business.
Your message does.

If the algorithm feels brutal and your pipeline is dry: 
I help CEOs and founders fix that with content that brings real leads, not “nice post” comments.

DM me “Fix my message.”

PS:
Would you sign a petition to fix LinkedIn?

I’m hiring a Beautiful Woman™ to run my LinkedIn.
Not for writing.
Not for ideas.
For the only metric that seems to matter here:
looking good.
– the disturbing reason this works
– how the algorithm chooses winners

I used to think “quality wins.”
Cute theory.

Then I watched my smartest posts get 24 likes…
while a random stock photo of “Anna, 27, consultant with perfect hair”
took off like a SpaceX launch.

This isn’t anger.
It’s observation.
And an experiment in how platforms reward attention, not depth.

So yes.
If you see a stunning woman smiling at a laptop on my next post…
relax.

It’s not a rebrand.
It’s the algorithm talking.

Repost if you know someone qualified for the role.

Every time I see a “worked 72 hours straight” post…
…I don’t see power. I see…

p.a.n.i.c.

If they really made $45K in a weekend why are they screaming about it?

If the number’s legit, it should be obvious.

If it’s not, they’re hoping you’ll believe it before they stop believing it themselves.

And the kicker:
Even if it’s true… they still lose.

Because if you need to perform like that just to stay relevant, you’ve already lost leverage.
You’re not building.
You’re coping.

This is the part where people say:
“But they’re just proud of the grind!”

No.
They’re terrified of stillness.
Stillness makes them feel invisible.

Here’s what’s really going on:

→ Status anxiety
→ Achievement theatre
→ Survival signaling

The louder the brag, the weaker the foundation.
(Read that again)

Real operators?
They don’t post every win.

They don’t need to.
Their results echo in rooms they’re not even in.

I’ve written 1,300+ posts.
I’ve coached, ghostwritten, lost deals, rebuilt offers, quietly.

And the deeper I get into this game, the pattern is clear:

The people yelling the loudest about their 
“killer weeks”
are usually just trying to outrun the silence.

You don’t need to prove anything when you’re actually winning.

And if you do… maybe you’re not.


PS: what was the biggest number you saw someone made in a week?

Earlier this year, when I joined Dakota Robertson’s program, I expected a lecture on hooks or structure. Instead, he asked us to write down...

the dream we rarely say out loud. 
The one that feels almost too tender to touch. 

So I wrote mine: 
a small house in Tuscany, evening light settling on the patio, my wife reading in the doorway, our kid chasing the dog between tomato plants, and me at a wooden desk that has seen more summers than I have.

It felt strange to describe it in such detail, yet the moment I did, something in me settled. 

The picture stopped being a fantasy and started behaving like a compass. 

Consistency didn’t need discipline anymore; it simply followed the direction that scene pointed me toward.

And somewhere between IVF stress, losing clients, finding new ones, and the usual chaos life throws at you, 
I realised... 
the only way any of this holds is when clarity, consistency, and flexibility work together. 

The dream sets the path, 
the daily work keeps you moving, 
and the willingness to pivot keeps the whole thing alive.

I’m not the smartest or the most gifted. 
I just know exactly where I’m going.

The no’s were never the problem.
They were the cheat code.
– why the worst replies became the data I needed?

I’ve sent 1,000+ DMs since May.
Tweaked my opener 28 times.
Heard enough “no” to fill a warehouse.

Most people quit too early.

They think silence = rejection.
They think “no” means “stop.”

It doesn’t.
It means look closer.

Here’s what outreach actually taught me:

1) The “no” that isn’t a no:
a tired brain saying “not now.”

2) The silent inbox lie:
they didn’t hate your message, they forgot it existed.

3) The real killer:
sending the same DM 200 times and calling it “consistency.”

– why inbox patterns matter more than volume
– where the real reply-rate spike usually hides
– the trigger phrase that shifts cold strangers into warm leads

Cold outreach isn’t hard.
Rewriting your ego is.

Rewrite it.
Rethink it.
Re-aim it.

If you’re a CEO or founder
and your pipeline feels dry, DM me “fix it.”
I’ll help you rebuild your outbound so people actually reply.

PS: What’s the worst “no” you’ve ever gotten in your DMs?

I sometimes wonder how many of us would admit we watch porn, then smile when we realise I mean the other…

kind!
The productivity stuff, the neat dashboards and colour-coded calendars we show off on a “professional” platform already full of our stories, sick days, wins, and losses.

For years I treated those systems like outfit changes for my ambition: 
- new calendar, 
- new labels, 
- new folders, 
- a fresh Notion page, 
that small hit of “now I’m ready…

Followed by the quiet realisation that nothing had moved, because I was still avoiding the one thing I had to do.

The more I watched myself, the more it felt like the same bargain people make with real porn: a quick escape, a brief illusion of control, none of the work that builds a life, a brand, clients, or craft.

So when I catch myself polishing a workflow instead of writing, 

I remember LinkedIn has its own porn habit, and that most of us thought of the other kind first; 

In that pause before we tweak again instead of facing the task we’ve been dodging all week, we’re the only ones who know which kind we’re really choosing.

Even if I’m doing sales calls in boxers…
These 7 phrases helped me close 30% of them.
I wish I could say I nailed it early but…
I blew more calls than I care to admit.

Here’s the 1 thing that finally turned it around:

#1 rule: Stop apologizing in client calls. 

Your words…
…sell you before your work does.

Have the following phrases on the side, but do not look at them all the time, cuz if you don’t listen, you will fu*k it up for sure. Learn from my mistake.

Calm down; you will lose prospects a few times, but over time, you will use these phrases at the right time automatically.

You need to sound confident and clear; that's it.

⛔️ Don’t say:
“I might be off, but…”
✅ Use this, for example:
“Here’s how I see it and why it fits.”

⛔️ Don’t say:
“I’m just following what I was told…”
✅ Use this, for example:
“My recommendation: X. Reason: Y.”

⛔️ Don’t say:
“Maybe a silly question, but…”
✅ Use this, for example:
“Could you walk me through the context around ____?”

⛔️ Don’t say:
“I gave it a shot…”
✅ Use this, for example:
“Delivering by Tuesday, 14:00.”

⛔️ Don’t say:
“I think we could maybe, possibly…”
✅ Use this, for example:
“I propose we ____. Upside: ____.”

⛔️ Don’t say:
“Sorry to interrupt, but…”
✅ Use this, for example:
“To build on that, there’s a risk/opportunity worth flagging.”

⛔️ Don’t say:
“Does that make sense?”
✅ Use this, for example:
“How does this approach land with you?”

Drop the number (1-7) you’ll swap first.

Have a cool weak guys.

"We get 15 leads a week with automation."
3 founders told me this like they'd just bought a Tesla.
So I asked: 

"You're closing 2-3 deals then?"

Silence. Weird eye contact. Subject change.

That's when I knew the leads weren't the issue.

Here's what happens:
Someone gets your cold DM. They check you out. 
Headline. About. 
Last 10 posts.

If it's old reposts and random polls, nobody's buying.

People buy from folks who seem real. 
Not ghosts.

What actually works:

A) Solid content using GAP:
- Authority: real stories, what's working now
- Personal: your journey, beliefs, lessons
- Growth: easy tips people talk about

B) Show up daily. Post. Comment. Be present.

C) Support others. Share, reply, lift people up.

LinkedIn isn't a slot machine. 
You can't push a button and expect magic.

Automation fills calendars. Good content turns calls into clients.

If your posts aren't converting, your DMs won't either.

Want to fix it? 
I help founders buy back their evenings and weekends by making their content sound like them, and work like hell while they’re off the clock.

Sometimes it feels like I should apologize for my childhood, it wasn’t traumatic.
Shoutout to parents who never broke their kids and never get credit for it.

I keep seeing these “I survived hell and built myself” stories on LinkedIn.

Nothing wrong with them. 
Respect to the people who climbed out.

But that wasn’t my life.

I didn’t grow up in chaos.

No addictions.
No slammed doors.
No fear walking into the kitchen.
No “we had nothing, but we had grit” speeches.

My parents kept a small world steady.

Dinner that smelled like home.
Arguments that never turned into storms.
Mistakes that stayed mistakes, not labels stuck to my forehead.

For a long time, I thought this was normal.

Only later did I realize how much that quiet foundation carried me.

It carried me when I moved countries at 19 with no English.
It carried me when I changed careers at 40.
It carried me when I started a business from nothing.
It carried me when we struggled with IVF and kept going.

Some people rise because they had to crawl.

I rose because two ordinary people built solid ground under my feet.

So this is a shoutout to the boring heroes:

the parents who gave their kids…
stability instead of trauma,
love instead of fear,
home instead of chaos.

If that’s your story too…
you’re lucky.
Really lucky.

Drop a ❤️ for them.
They did more for us than we ever realized.
