Hiring a Ghostwriter - Why Not?

Posted on December 29th, 2008 by Tigis

Before I proceed with this topic, I’d like to introduce the meaning of ghostwriter first. A ghostwriter is a professional writer who is paid to write books, articles, stories, reports, or other content which are officially credited to another person (definition taken from wikipedia).

Now you can see where I’m heading to. As a blogger obviously you have to write. In fact, writing is the only thing that blogger has to do. Your writing will be the content of your blog. Off course the case will be different if your blog is intended only for donwload materials such as mp3, wallpapers, programs, games, etc.

You need time and ideas to write the content of your blog. You can simply use your spare time to write things. Especially during holiday. You can also get ideas from anything around you, or simply from anything you like. But how if one of them is not there when you need it. Or maybe both. Not to mention if you have more than one blog or website. You really have to arrange your time suitably to cover all of your blog projects.

That’s when a ghostwriter can be really helpful. They can do all kind of writing jobs for you. All you have to do is tell them what topic or title they have to be working on. You might want to give some inputs as well about what kind of writing style you like, some keywords you want, number of words limitations you set, etc.

Hiring a ghostwriter obviously needs some price. But things have been going well for the publishers or bloggers in recent years as there are so many cheap ghost writers in the market. The average price is usually about $0.01 per word. It means you only have to pay $2 for an article consist of 200 words.

From my experience, you can find those cheap ghostwriters in the internet mostly from India. They have very good writing quality. Their english is superb and they can cover almost all topics. From traveling to business, from blogging to many things you need to know about sword. I’m not sure about ghostwriter in Indonesia though (in English and in Indonesian). I believe there are many available, but I don’t know yet where to find them.

How about me? Well for this personal blog I believe I still can take care of it. I can write all of the posts by myself. But I have a plan to start another engish blog. For that matter perhaps I would like to have ghostwriter service someday.

Anyway, I had quite unique experience about ghostwriter during christmas several days ago. I didn’t ask for ghostwriter service, in fact I offered myself to be a ghostwriter. I saw a member in forum requesting an article for his football blog. He asked anyone who can write article about boxing day clash in English Premier League and must finish it within 3 hours. He asked 100 words minimum for each game. There were 10 games so there should be 1000 words total. Since this is football, something that I like, I grabbed the chance. I finished it within 3 hours and he paid me $10. Not bad, huh :mrgreen:

Now how about you, would you be interested in using ghostwriter service? or perhaps you’d rather become ghostwriter yourself :)

    mungkin klo ngejar visitor reach dan keywords, ghost writer memang membantu sekali. Tapi klo dari sisi kualitas, bobot dan ketajaman konten, kayaknya susah mengharapkan ghost writer dah. CMIIW ya, cuma opini doank

    halo bro Penulis, bener yg elo bilang saat kita mau hire ghostwriter kita kudu bener2x yakin sama kualitas contentnya. Itu kenapa saat kita mau order kita berhak minta sample writing dr niche/topik yg kita mau. Dr situ kita bisa menilai kedalaman pengetahuan si ghost writernya. Anyway, spt gue bilang di atas kita berhak setiap saat ngasi input akan content yg kita mau dan kita jg berhak ngebalikin article itu utk ditulis ulang kalo kita ngrasa ga puas sama bobotnya.

    I need a ghost writer, cheap. I dont have much money.. Can you help?

    hallo Joe, sorry I can’t help you to write. But I know where you can find some ghostwriter in the internet. First, you can find many on the forum (forums.digitalpoint.com). Second, maybe you can try these emails : scifiguy.rc@hotmail.com and tarielen@gmail.com. They’re both are considerably cheap and have enough quality. Hope this will help you.
