Start a Business as an Article Writer or Ghostwriter

Posted on April 18, 2009 by Linda Stacy

GhostwriterIn their February hiring trends report Elance.com listed article writing as one of the top five skills that businesses are outsourcing to freelancers. It’s really no surprise, especially since Elance caters mostly to online businesses. After all, what is the Internet made of? Images and words… and it’s those words that are crucially important.

And believe me, most Internet marketers don’t have either the skill or the time to write – or both – and that means a lucrative opportunity for people with some writing skills.

In addition to article writing, there are other in-demand skills for online ghostwriting including copywriting, blogs, press releases, email marketing, white papers and more. There are many opportunities to specialize and actually charge MORE for your services.

To have a successful ghostwriting business, you need the right tools and strategies that successful entrepreneurs use. If you’ve been thinking of breaking into ghostwriting and doing it quickly, I recommend this guide to ghostwriting. It will show you:

  • How to market your services without spending on advertising
  • Where to find clients with deep pockets
  • Why and how to put up a professional website
  • Which industries are virtual gold mines for ghostwriters
  • How much to charge to actually make profit
  • How to set yourself apart from your competition
  • How to develop your portfolio especially when you haven’t had a single client yet
    …and more!

This guide gives you the stories of two successful ghostwriters who earn a full-time income writing from home. Not only are they inspirational, but they give great tips too. The best part is, because this guide is written for Moms, the price is just right. In fact, you’ll easily earn back the cost of this guide with your first writing assignment. Check it out yourself.

    This post is a presell of the e-book. I suggest you add more value to the post and trim the sales page in which I only looked at the price of the e-book.

    This is very true. As a webmaster and internet marketer I myself have hired content article writers, as a matter of fact through elance also. I have had mixed results but found a good company who produced good results who I have hired ever since for thousands of dollars worth of projects.
