Let's address the elephant in the room: AI is changing the ghostwriting industry, and not everyone's happy about it.
Some writers see AI as the enemy. Others are quietly embracing it. But successful ghostwriters understand: AI isn't here to replace us – it's here to amplify our creativity and efficiency.
As someone who's helped ghostwriters scale their LinkedIn content operations, I've seen firsthand how the strategic use of AI separates thriving writers from struggling ones. Let's discuss methods that actually work.
