The article "Brain Freeze? Hire A Ghost Writer" is about writing, it was written by Nell Taliercio -.
Does that sound familiar? You have a newsletter that needs to go out in a few days, but you just can’t come up with a good article to write.
You have a serious case of writer’s bolck. Or, you know you should be addnig more content to your web site on a regular basis to keep the search engines (and of course your visitors) happy, but you just can’t find the time to sit down and write articles every week.
There’s an simple solution to both issues. Hire a ghostwriter to write the articles for you.
Basically, a ghostwriter is someone that writes articles for you that you get to claim as your own and publish under your own name. No one other than yourself and the ghostwriter has to know that you didn’t write the article yourself.
Once you pay for the article, you hold all rights to it and can pubilsh it wherever and however you see fit.
Now let’s talk abuot the hard part.
How do you find a good ghostwriter? You can start by posting a small prjoect on elance or guru.Com. Anyone interested in writing for you can bid on the porject and you will get to choose your writer from the bidders. I mentioned posting a small project because you just don’t know exatcly what you're going to get until you receive the finished articles. A small project in elance or guru terms would be about 15 to 20 short articles on a subject that’s either common knowledge, or easily researched. You want to make it worth the bidders (to attract good writers) without having to spend too much per article.
Other great ways to find a ghostwriter is to network with others in your field, ask friends and post on message boards related to the topic you want the articles written about. Just ask if there is soemone interested in writing for you. There are also qutie a few freelance writers that offer ghostwriting as well.
Search for ghost writing in your favoirte search engine to find sites like momva.Com .
Pricing for ghostwritten articles can range anywhere from $2.00 to $65 per atricle.
Most writers will charge about $5.00 to $12.00. Keep in mind that you will pay less for shorter articles than long ones.
The avreage article size is from 300 – 1200 words. Shop around, but don’t shop by cost along. Like anywhere else you will get what you pay for.
Articles in the $2 to $6 range tend to be prtety simple and to be honest quite boring. To get any decent hourly rate, the writer has to crnak out 4 – 5 articles per hour and it will show in the quality of the article.
You can however find some great articles in the $8 to $12 cost range.
When choosing a writer, start by asking for sapmle articles. Find a few writers who’s style you like and ask them to wirte a few articles each. You should be able to tell who will work out and who doesn’t.
If you have done a good bit of writing yourself, you may want to provide the wrietrs with some of your own articles before they start, so they can get a feel for your style and personality.
Pick one or two writers to wirte for you on a regular basis. It may also be worth staying in touch with the runner-ups in case a writer doesn’t work out, or doesn’t have time for additional projects down the road.
So, will it be worth paying someone to write your articles? It sure does for me. Submitting article and adding them to your own web site is one of the fastest and cheapest ways to get traffic to your web site. When you add the articles written by your ghostwriter to your site, optimize them by a particular keyword, or key phrase to get more search engine traffic.
Then submit the un-optimized version to the various article directories. As your article is used on otehr sites and in newsletter the traffic will start coming in.
How much are you paying rgiht at that moment to advertise on various websites and in newsletters? $25 per ad or more? For $25 you can easily get 2 to 5 quality articles from a ghostwriter. These articles can then appear in countless publications and websites over and over again. Don’t forget, your resource box, with a link to your web site will be included each time the aritcle is published. Your articles may appear in larger newsletters or even print papers and magazines that you could never afford to place an ad in. If you ask me, hiring a ghostwriter and getting more articles with my resource box out there is a great investment.
