Most LinkedIn content gets ignored. Not because it's bad. Because it's built backwards. Hi, I'm Mark. Watch my profile video to learn how I use "ICP Psychology" to turn 60 minutes of your time into a month of high-converting LinkedIn content. "I've tried generic ghostwriters and AI tools before. Nothing comes close. Mark and his team capture my voice perfectly because they understand the psychology behind the sale. Finally, leads are coming to me." - Kevin Jackson, Founder Most LinkedIn content gets ignored. Not because it's bad. Because it's built backwards. Most founders write about what they know. Their expertise. Their opinions. It gets scrolled past because it talks AT the audience instead of TO them. I do it differently. I use a Psychology-First Approach. We don't write a single word until we map your ideal client's brain: Their 11pm fears Their frustrations The stuff they won't say in a meeting How It Works (The 60-Minute System) You invest 60 minutes a month talking to me. That’s it. Everything else runs on autopilot. The Interview: We extract your stories and expertise in one deep-dive call. The Strategy: I map your voice to the psychological triggers of your buyers. The Output: Content that makes your ideal clients stop scrolling and think, "It's like they're reading my mind." Who This Is For I work exclusively with founders and consultants who have real expertise but lack visibility. ✅ YES: Founders who want to be the authority in their space. ✅ YES: B2B teams needing conversations, not just "likes." ❌ NO: If you want spam tactics or engagement pods. ❌ NO: If you are looking for generic "5 tips to succeed" ChatGPT content. My Experience & Niches 13 years in LinkedIn strategy and social selling. I have successfully written for: SaaS Founders Management Consultants Executive Coaches B2B Sales Teams I bring the strategy, the systems, and the psychology. (I also bring a slight obsession with cats, but that costs extra). Ready to turn LinkedIn from a time sink into a pipeline? Click the green "Invite to Job" button to start the conversation.

Editor | Ghostwriter | Voice Artist | Books, Wellness & Meditation

Tewkesbury, United Kingdom
$80 per hour

$30K+ total earnings

I’m a British editor, ghostwriter, writer and voice artist, with experience across books, personal development, children’s content, education, meditation, wellbeing and digital publishing. I’m Top Rated on Upwork with 100% Job Success across more than 50 projects. Editing is a significant part of my work. I provide developmental and structural editing, line and copyediting, proofreading, rewriting, and manuscript support. Recent projects include the developmental edit of a forthcoming personal-development book; detailed pre-publication editing of a complex specialist nonfiction manuscript; substantive editing of a 370+ page published nonfiction book; and extensive developmental, line and copyediting of a published children’s novel. I’m particularly interested in the relationship between the detail and the whole. I notice where the sentence isn’t quite working, or the chapter is in the wrong place; I recognise where the idea needs more room or the repetition that is slowing everything down; I validate the section that is already doing exactly what it needs to do. I edit closely without imposing a generic voice on the writing, keeping author's voice intact and in flow. I also ghostwrite books and long-form content. My work includes several published children’s books, a complete 30-day self-love journal, personal-development and transformational writing, educational material, non-fiction books, meditation and sleep content, and narrative work. I’m comfortable developing a project from an early idea, working from rough source material, or stepping into an existing manuscript that needs shaping and finishing. I was formerly Head of Content & Meditation at Moments of Space, where I led editorial direction and brand voice, wrote extensively both inside and outside of the app, and edited and developed work by other writers. I’ve also created meditation, mindfulness, sleep, and wellbeing content for a wide range of apps and private clients. Alongside writing and editing, I’m an experienced British voice artist with a naturally warm, low-toned RP voice and a professional home studio. I’ve recorded hundreds of guided meditations, sleep stories, visualisations, and other pieces of spoken content, as well as children’s and narrative work. My background is in language, literature, education, and performance. I have a First Class BA in Film, Drama & Literary Studies, an MA, a PGCE in Secondary English with QTS, and a TEFL qualification. When I’m editing someone else’s manuscript or finding the voice for a ghostwritten book, writing an original piece, or recording it, I tend to care passionately about the same things. For me, what matters is language, rhythm, meaning, audience, and getting the details right.

Personal Development Coach

London, United Kingdom

I am a Personal Development Coach and I help people to overcome blocks that they are experiencing in their personal or professional lives while they deepen their self-awareness and connection to themselves so that they can get to where they want. We work with those repetitive patterns that keep showing up in their lives (i.e procrastination, fear of speaking up, people pleasing, fear of failure, triggers with other people and anything that keeps on coming up repetitively as this shows the pattern). In my approach, I embody deep compassion and understanding and I meet the person where they are at in that moment. I focus on my clients holistically, acknowledging all parts of them, as well as helping them connect to their inner guidance so that they find the answers within themselves and make long lasting shifts in their reality. I use a blend of tools such as NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming), Parts Work and Life Coaching, helping people to get to the root of their issue so they can process their emotions and then shift the perception over the issue, bringing true transformation in their lives.
