LinkedIn for consultants and coaches: turn a quiet profile into an inbound channel

Why visibility is the pipeline

Referrals still close most consulting work, but the referral lands only if the person being referred can check you out and see substance. A profile with a strong headline and three posts from last year reads as dormant; a profile with a clear opinion every day reads as someone who is in the work. That is the whole case for daily posting, and it is why LiHelper is built around one post a day rather than a weekly campaign. Because the AI draws its topics from your synced headline, skills and past posts, the daily post stays inside your niche — a pricing consultant gets pricing posts, a leadership coach gets leadership posts — and the examples it copies are the posts of yours that already earned engagement. The mechanics are on the how it works page.

• A post a day on Creator (30 a month, 15 visual credits), two a day on Pro (60, 40)
• Drafts conditioned on your own headline, About, skills and best-performing posts — your voice, your niche
• Designed images (hook cards, numbered explainers, comparisons, charts) chosen from the content of each post
• Best-hour scheduling from your own engagement heatmap; benchmark 10:00 local until you have history
• Publishing through LinkedIn's official API; no password or cookie stored — see the security page
• Engagement autopilot on Pro: 40 likes and 10 drafted comments a day at most, run only when you click

The weekly loop

1. 1Sync the profile that already sells you. The LiHelper Connector reads your headline, current role, About and full skills list, plus your recent posts and their stats, from your own LinkedIn tab. Your positioning becomes the AI's brief without you writing one.
2. 2Publish a point of view every day. Daily Autopilot drafts a post from your expertise — the mistake clients keep making, the framework you use, the question you were asked this week — with your own best posts as the style guide. Approve it in a minute on Creator; on Pro it can publish itself.
3. 3Be present in the right comments. On Pro the engagement autopilot picks posts from your feed, drafts a comment for each and queues likes and comments within daily caps of 40 and 10. You run them from the popup in your own browser; nothing happens in the background.
4. 4Let the numbers steer. Each sync brings back impressions, reactions and comments per post. They move your best-hour slot and refresh the examples the AI writes from, so the content drifts toward what your audience actually responds to.

Keeping the expertise yours

The fear with AI is that it flattens you into everyone else. It is a fair fear, and the answer is in how the drafts are made. LiHelper does not ask you to describe your voice; it reads it from the posts you have already published, retrieved as examples every time a draft is written, and it never trains a model on your content. The first week, before a sync has filled the pool, drafts lean on your headline and skills and can feel generic; after that they track your own phrasing, length and structure. Treat every draft as a first draft. On Creator nothing publishes until you tap approve, so the sentence that makes a post yours — the specific client story, the number, the disagreement — is a thirty-second edit rather than a forty-minute write. The FAQ on whether AI posts sound like you goes into the detail.

Being in the comments, within limits

Prospects follow a handful of voices in your field; being a thoughtful presence under those posts is how you become one of them. On Pro the engagement autopilot reads your feed, picks a small number of posts, drafts an on-brand comment for each on the server and queues likes and comments; the free extension runs them in your own browser when you click, and a circuit breaker pauses everything after two LinkedIn block signals in 24 hours. The caps are 40 likes and 10 comments a day, which is human scale on purpose. It acts inside your session and carries real risk, which is why it is off by default and why the automation safety guide is worth ten minutes before you arm it. Many consultants use posting alone and comment by hand; the inline "Draft comment" button gives you a starting point either way.

What it costs against a ghostwriter

A human ghostwriter for LinkedIn is a real expense and a real relationship; LiHelper is neither, and it is not trying to be. Creator is $12 a month for 30 AI posts and 15 visual credits; Pro is $29 for 60 posts, 40 credits, auto-publishing and the engagement and job tools; annual plans cost ten months. Every account starts with a 14-day Creator trial with no card, so you can judge two weeks of drafts against your own standard before paying. The AI is managed through OpenRouter, so there is no separate provider bill. Against the tools built for the same audience, LiHelper vs Supergrow and LiHelper vs AuthoredUp set the prices and features side by side, and the pricing page has the full matrix.
