In 2 years, I have come a very long way and now I have a successful business comprising of Kindle Publishing, Facebook and YouTube (3 separate businesses). All thanks to Warrior Forum.

I now want to offer my services to WF by opening a Warrior for Hire thread. The service is:

I want to provide Kindle Erotica ghostwriting services. Price: $5 for 5000 words to $200 for a full length novel (80K to 100K words). All high quality, original and copyscape passed. I will offer review copies too, so that you guys can judge for yourself.

My first question is: Is there any demand for such a service? What do you think?

Probably, but I don't really know.

My next question is:

Do I need pay a $20 fee to open a thread in Warrior for Hire section? If yes, are threads reviewed on the weekend?

Yes and Yes, at least for me they have been approved on the weekend.

I also intend to launch a WSO product. My next question is:

Do I need to pay $20 EVEN IF I use Warrior Payment? The instruction doesn't mention anything about Payment IF I use Warrior Payment system: https://payments.warriorforum.com/help/offer

Yes

My last question:

Is there any way to integrate Warrior Payment for a Warrior for Hire section thread?

No. Use Paypal or DLGuard or even a JVZoo button. I use DLGuard to accept payment for my products. Buy it once and you can use it for all of your products.

Thanks

Sure. My thoughts on the price are the same. I don't know how good you are, but I've seen ghostwriting for a Kindle book in the range of $300-$500 and then beyond that for high range writers.

Hi are you asking if there's a demand for erotica books or the ghostwriting service. I assume you've checked the first.

There comes a point where you have to dive in and quite frankly, compared to offline business costs $20 is nothing.

Thanks

Yes, you are right. I am going to dive in now.

I now there's a demand for Erotica in Kindle, just not so sure about the ghostwriting scenario, assuming yes.

I wanted to clarify the payment points to avoid unnecessary hiccups in the process of making and publishing the offer/thread.

Thanks for your input.

Thanks

Your offer seems ridiculously under-priced... $200 to write a whole book?

Why would you do this instead of just writing the book and selling it yourself on Kindle? Do a 4 or 5 day freebie to drive downloads and shoot yourself up on the popularity list, then sell copies at $2.99 ... you could easily generate more in book sales than the $200 you would make writing it for someone else.

Thanks

Writing your own stuff and then selling it for future and long term profits is better then selling your services for others to profit in the long run.

Residual income from your book that you written is better then just offering to write one for someone else in my view.

Thats what i was thinking!

Can you bang 80-100k words out for web content

for $200 too?

Thanks

I agree with Ron about your fees. Horribly under-priced.

Also agree with the idea of writing for yourself. I've ghost-written short books for Kindle, and I've read quite a bit about selling on Kindle although not lately, the reading. I've not kept-up with it.

I've read highly successful authors, on and off Kindle, say they've spent most of their time marketing their books. It's a necessity, but there's a tipping point when their brand, meaning their name and books, becomes known well enough so they don't have to do as much marketing but it's still necessary.

Your writing niche is erotica. From what I've read this is a very popular niche, and there are several sub-niches of erotica. Do some research on this.

I've seen a few ads, at reputable places, for erotica ghost writers. You'll have to market, anyway. Right?

If you ghost write you'll have to market your services. If you write your own books you'll have to market your name and books. So, I suggest you write your own books. Get a pen name if you aren't comfortable using your own name. Last I knew, Amazon allows for multiple pen names. So you can write harder core erotica under one and softer erotica under another.

There are lots of books on erotica. But you're unique and there's definitely room for one more. Explore and discover your own unique writing voice. Learn about character development, plot, sub-plot, dialogue and all that stuff. It's worth it because your books will be better, with time, and it will pay off.

Hope that helps and good luck.

Ken

Thanks

Hi everyone, regarding the issue you have raised about price, please remember that I don't live in the US or any "developed country". $200 is a very good amount of money where I live. I am just trying to take advantage of that fact.

Yes, I fully understand that anyone would like to be sure about quality before they do business with me. That's why I have included samples in my Warrior For Hire thread and I can also give a review copy if someone requests. The minimum order price is only $10, so I guess most warriors can try my service at least once.

Yes, I have taken the plunge and I have opened my own service thread in Warrior For Hire section. You can check it out once if you wish.

The thing is, there are lots of ghost writers who offer the same quality like that of me and my team, but they are expensive. There may be few ghost writers who offer the same price which I offer, but the quality is not there. You can not find any service in the entire internet, which offers the same quality at my price. This service is completely unique. That's why I have gone ahead with my decision.

Thanks

Sorry, but these seems more of an advertisement. Just doesn't make sense.

As others have stated, you'd be much better off putting it up on amazon yourself, you'd make more.

Thanks
