Did you know that more and more people are making a lot of money writing and selling articles online? This is because many online entrepreneurs are more than willing to spend up to $20 per item.
This is how you can become a freelance ghostwriter:
1. First, establish your field experience online. You need something that you can use to convince your potential customers that you have the ability to offer them high-quality articles or those that can help them grow their e-business. Create an online portfolio that will impress these people. I recommend that you write an e-book, at least 10-15 articles and a few newsletters and post them on your website. Through these, your prospects can assess whether you can meet their needs.
2. Pricing strategy. Since you are new to this endeavor and are competing with established ghostwriters, it would be to your advantage to charge a little less. This will give your prospects a reason to try it out. I would say charge $1-$3/500 word article. I know this doesn’t sound like much, but you can eventually increase your prices once you’ve already proven yourself in the online arena.
3. Find potential customers. In addition to emailing those who might be interested in what you offer, you can also choose to join freelancing sites like Odesk, getafreelancer, and Elance. On these sites, you will be able to easily connect with people who are looking for ghost writers. They will create projects that you can bid on. Make sure you offer 100% satisfaction to your customers as they can leave comments on your profile. As you know, good feedback will help you acquire more customers.
