Where do these cards come from? We computed every figure on this page from public posts with MagicPost's LinkedIn analytics: median engagement per theme, share of feed, theme premiums and engagement rates, across 204 freelancing creators and 7,470 freelancing posts. It works on your profile too, including a side-by-side with anyone on this list.

Which freelancing creators just missed the top 20?

Five names sit right behind the cut, all within 8 likes of number twenty:

Inès Vazquez, at #21, misses number twenty by 2 likes, and her audience comments more than it likes: 115 median comments against 94 median likes. Anthony Ciceron (#25) shows the same pattern.

Mia Perrotin (#23) has the smallest account of the five, 5k followers, and the widest premium: her freelancing posts earn 42% more than her overall median. Anjeanette Carter (#24) is also seventh in the United States market of our ghostwriter ranking.

Which LinkedIn freelancing creators have the highest engagement rate?

Raw likes flatter the largest followings, so divide by reach: engagement rate on freelancing posts, median likes divided by followers (20k followers and over).

Courtney Summer Myers leads this table as she leads the ranking. Three of the five also sit in the top 20; Pauline Vettier and Anne-Valérie Rocourt make it on reach from outside the top 25.

Smaller accounts in the top 20 go further but fall under the 20k floor: Thomas Maas (2.26%), Sarah Ashton (2.05%), Kertu Russak (1.82%) and Julie Pinter (1.77%). For how this theme compares with other subjects, see our study of LinkedIn engagement rate by topic.

Which freelancing creators get the most total likes on LinkedIn?

One more cut counts the total likes on freelancing posts over 12 months, where frequent posters gain ground:

Chris Scholly leads on volume alone: 83 posts, without a place in the top 25 by median. Antoine Koe and Laurie Charbonnier reach the table the same way, on 56 and 81 posts.

Courtney Summer Myers lands third on just 17 posts, the fewest in the table. Orane Janvier's 76 posts bring her second.

Which LinkedIn freelancing creator gets the most comments per post?

This cut divides comments by likes. Among creators with 100+ median likes, the record in our freelancing pool belongs to Léa Boussaad (#17): 90 median comments against 101 median likes, about nine comments for every ten likes.

The typical top-20 creator gets about two comments for every five likes. Jade C. (#15) and Elodie Delmas (#5) complete the podium. Below that line, Inès Vazquez (#21) and Anthony Ciceron (#25) get more comments than likes.

Are the top LinkedIn freelancing creators full-time freelancing voices?

No. Of the 204 creators who post on freelancing consistently, only 11 give it at least half their feed, and none of them makes this top 20. The highest shares here are Thomas Maas's (41%) and Denée Tamia's (39%).

At the other end, Thibault Louis (2%) and Marie-Rose Perret (4%) touch the theme only now and then.

The tourists collect the biggest premiums, earning far more on freelancing than on their other posts:

• Floris Hartelust: +210%, on 6% of his feed

• Freddie Chatt: +186%, on 8% of his feed

• Julie Pinter: +164%, on 13% of her feed

• Sarah Ashton: +96%, on 5% of her feed

All four discounts go to creators whose usual median is already high: Shruti Rajput (-45%), Sirine Bozetine (-31%), Elodie Delmas (-20%) and Orane Janvier (-11%) hold four of the five highest overall medians in this top 20.

The list is made of people who sell their own services: LinkedIn ghostwriters and strategists, designers and illustrators, plus the chief executive of freelancermap and a talent sourcer.

It is also strongly French: 11 of the 20 are based in France, against 3 in the United Kingdom and one each in Estonia, Germany, Canada, the United States, India and the Netherlands.

Country by country rankings: France, the UK, Germany, Canada, India, the Netherlands, the United States, the full series.

And if showing up in these creators' comment sections is part of your plan, an engagement feed keeps it to a five-minute daily habit.

How does freelancing compare with entrepreneurship and personal branding on LinkedIn?

Each of our theme rankings counts only the posts tagged with its own theme, so the pools differ. Freelancing is the smallest of its neighbours:

None of this top 20 makes the top 20 of any of those three themes. The freelancing ranking surfaces a separate group of people, most of them with under 50k followers.

The typical freelancing post earns less than half the typical entrepreneurship post and less than a third of a personal branding one. Yet 16 of these 20 creators earn more on freelancing than on their own other posts.

How we ranked the top LinkedIn freelancing creators

All of this is MagicPost's own research. We went through 7,470 freelancing posts from the last 12 months and ranked 204 creators by median likes on their freelancing posts.

Only creators with at least one post in the last 60 days are ranked. The method:

• Floors: at least 5,000 followers and 10 freelancing posts in the window; deleted posts excluded.

• Median rather than average: no single viral post can buy a place.

• Freelancing posts only: each post gets a theme from our own classification, and only those posts count.

• Freelancing posts analyzed: the posts our dataset holds per creator, sometimes fewer than they published.

• Per creator: share of feed, premium over their own median, engagement rate and comment ratio.

Fifteen of the top-20 medians rest on 20 freelancing posts or fewer, so a few posts can move the lower ranks. Rankings refresh as the data does. No placement here was sponsored; every rank comes straight from the median.

Study them, then study yourself. With MagicPost you can analyze any freelancing creator the way we just did (median engagement by theme, share of feed, premiums, engagement rate) and benchmark your own profile against the pool. The data on this page is the product.
