Rock And Roll Ghost
4 Steps To Getting Your Article Ghost Writer Career Rocking And Rolling
A couple of years ago, I never would’ve imagined that I’d be making a full-time living as an article ghost writer. Everyday I’m sitting here doing what I love, and I never have to deal with commuting to work, lousy bosses, office politics or the drudgery of working for someone else. I gave it some thought and figured out that it took 5 steps to get from doing a little part-time writing on the side to being a full-time article ghost writer.
Step 1 – Get Started On A Freelancer Site
Before you launch into writing full-time, you should do lots of writing to make sure it’s right for you. At one time, there were only certain topics I’d write on; but eventually, I expanded my pallet. I wrote on every topic I could, and this gave me lots of experience. I also got valuable experience in dealing with clients.
Step 2 – Streamline Your Writing
I used to write one article in about 30 minutes. That’s no way to go if you’re planning to do it full-time. You’ve got to perfect your own system for writing and researching quickly. Another huge roadblock to get over is writer’s block. You have to learn how to quit procrastinating and get to work! I’m still working out the kinks on that actually.
Step 3 – Create Your Own Website
Anybody who wants to be a full-time article ghost writer has to have their own site. You can use Elance and all the other freelance sites, but you’ve got to have one place to send all your clients. This is your home on the web. If, like me, you’re a technological caveman, hire someone to do it. It costs money, but it’s an investment that will pay off quickly. If I’d decided to do it myself, it would’ve taken years!
Step 4 – SEO The Heck Out Of It
I never had any idea how easy it is to get traffic to my site! This is a step in the process that I thought would be tedious, but I found that I really enjoyed it. Once you’ve got your site set up, work on getting backlinks. You can do this through article marketing, social bookmarking sites like Facebook, blogging, forum posting, sites like Squidoo and Hubpages – the options are limitless. Do some keyword research and target those words. What you’re doing is putting out leads on the web, trying to find the people who could use your service.
All of this has been much easier than I’d imagined. But here’s the one tough part – getting off your behind and actually doing it! It took me years to really get started and I regret that a little, but that’s just how it goes. Find things that motivate you (money, freedom, lifelong learning) and work those into your plan. Try to eliminate things that keep you from taking action. If you get started and stick with it, you can make it happen!
