Writing Articles

TMZ · #1 (**permalink**) 10-12-2006, 07:30 AM

More and more people are looking to develop and send online marketing articles. Do you think there is any money in providing a service where we could ghost write articles?

I think such services already exists. Recently I found a few web sites offering such or similar kind of services. So, probably there is a niche for this.

There are three types of services out in the marketplace you would be competing against.

1. Freelancers who write articles
2. Prewritten articles packages (these are very inexpensive but they are used by a lot of people)
3. Private label articles. Unlike 2. these are available to a small group (theoretically)

I haven't heard of people making that much money ghostwriting articles but I have heard of people making decent money writing ebooks. Have you considered that?

Jase Ghost Writing is when you have someone else write the article or book for you and then you put your name on it as the author.

If you were going to ghost write anything I would consider ebooks or a training series. Just writing one or two articles wont pay the bills.

I agree with Courier there are bigger ticket items than articles.

Ghost writing will not get you much money. The secret to money with Ghost Writing is quantity. However, people hiring ghost writers want good quality content, which involves having a good knowledge of your subject.

Because of that, if you wanted to do ghost writing, I'd narrow it to one or two subjects you know well about. BUT, if you do that, you might as well write the articles yourself and become an expert in your field and it can lead to ebooks and speaking engagements. That's where the money would be.
