Questions about ghost writers

6 replies
Hi there!

I have been in the online marketing business for a while now, but I have created my own content.

I would like to know a few things about ghost writers:

- When you ask a ghost writer to create content for you, do they have to go and do the research about the topic you want them to write about or do you have to provide all the information?
- Where to find ghost writers?
- How much does it cost more or less for articles and ebooks?

Thanks

    They usually do all the research; you can find them here in the warriors for hire section, and how much it costs vary widely. Some charge $.02 per word, some charge $.10 . Hope that helps :-)

    In general, writers will do the research for your project.

    However, if you expect the writer to write something like "Secrets of Traffic Generation", you should be willing to tell the writer your secrets. Otherwise--as someone that's not a professional at generating traffic--the research that the writer is going to dig up isn't really going to be secrets.

    Love,
    Shannon

    You might wanna check out elance.com

    It's well known for connecting online freelance jobs with freelancers. You can post your job offer there along with your budget in mind. If a freelancer is interested, he or she will bid on your offer, then you can further negotiate the price and discuss work details as you see fit.

    By search online you will find other websites similar to Elance. You might want to check them out at the same time and see if you wanna find a writer through them.

    But be cautious and check if a freelancer is up to your standard, so you don't have to worry about the quality of your content.

    Hope this helps.

    All the Best!

    Here are the answers to all your questions:

    When you ask a ghost writer to create content for you, do they have to go and do the research about the topic you want them to write about or do you have to provide all the information?
    1. Generally, ghost writers normally create content based on your preferences/specifications that you want them to deliver in their writing.

    Like most Warriors - including me (and my team) - you can either assign them to do research about the topic that you want them to write about - including keyword research, title research, content research and etc or you provide some related info that you want them to write about.

    Depends on how you use the articles - either you use it for your site contents, article submissions to article directories, or for your ebook product; ghost writers (or article marketers) would normally perform these tasks on behalf of you.

    Where to find ghost writers?
    You can find them anyware - odesk, elancer, or you can post ads at Craiglist; but since you're familiar with Warrior forum - you can actually outsource your article writing jobs to Warriors so that you can experience the outsourcing process with affordable rates.

    How much does it cost more or less for articles and ebooks?
    Depends on rate of the ghost writers, I couldn't actually give you a clear answer to this question. However, you can start shopping around for affordable and reliable ghost writing service in order to find the right ghost writing service.
