Ghost (speech) writers have been employed by our political leaders for 100’s of years. It has been reported that Alexander Hamilton was the speech writer for George Washington. If that is true, then Alexander Hamilton is probably the most famous ghostwriter of all times.
A ghostwriter is a writer who writes for hire and upon completion of the work releases all rights to the work. Almost all public figures use ghostwrites to write their memoirs, correspondence and speeches. Many webmasters use ghostwriters to write their articles because they either don’t have the time or talent to keep their site updated with fresh, custom content. In this article we are going to explore the process of hiring a ghostwriter to write those custom articles for your website.
Be prepared. Do not talk with a ghostwriter without knowing what you need. Do you need technical data? Will the articles require in-depth research? How many words do you need? What message do you want the article to convey? Don’t tell the ghostwriter to “write me an article on weight loss” - a subject that has thousands of subtopics and methods. If you don’t know what you want I can assure you the ghostwriter will not please you, no matter how much they charge or how experienced they are. They are writers, not magicians.
Be professional. If you want to hire a freelance writer but you don’t have a clue as to what they charge or how they work you may end up losing your shirt. Hop over to Google and search for “custom articles”, “freelance writers” and “ghost writers” and see what they are charging. Many will post their rates on the Internet. When you see what the “going rate” for ghostwritten articles is you can prepare your budget for the expense. Or, after the research you may decide you can’t afford a ghostwriter.
Ask for a quote. Many times websites will post their rates so you can easily see what the project will cost. At other times you may need to ask for a quotation. Or, perhaps you are posting on one of the freelance sites such as elance.com or getafreelaner.com. As pointed out in Item #1, Be Prepared. Cover the following points in your query or posting:
a. Article length (words)
b. Topics
c. Deadline
d. How much you can pay
e. How you will pay them
Be Specific. What do you want? Believe it or not there is a difference in “content articles” for your visitors to read and “keyword articles” written to improve your SEO (search engine optimization). Maybe you want both. If so, does the ghostwriter have experience in people-pleasing articles that will also please the search engines and boost your ranking?
Don’t forget your bottom line. Don’t overpay for your articles. Keep good records of income vs. expenditures and keep in mind that the reason you are hiring a ghostwriter to write those custom articles for your website is to increase the traffic, hence the profits, to your website.
