Ghost
Writer
If you have a knack for writing,
you could start a business as a ghostwriter. What exactly is a ghostwriter
you ask? As a ghostwriter, you will write articles or content for websites
but will not get credit for them, but the business or person to whom you
are writing for takes the credit.
I can hear you saying but I
want to write and get published why would I want to write for someone
else and not get paid or acknowledged? A writing career can be a tough
one to start and break into. Even when published in magazines, the pay
can be minimal. This can be a good way for you to generate some extra
income for yourself while remaining to work and write for yourself as
well, until your big break comes!
*To start: You should have
a portfolio of writing samples to show your prospective clients. Many
companies and/or individuals will ask that you sign a release stating
that once you write the piece they own it. Most times, you can use the
company itself as a reference but not all the writing you did for them.
Again, the point for most when being a ghostwriter is simply for the paycheck
not the acknowledgement that you indeed wrote it.
*Positive: This business is
relatively cheap to start, if you already have your computer, printer
and internet service. There are many sites online that you can put your
resume on to find prospective clients.
*Negative: The only real negative
aspect to this business is not taking credit for your work but just think
of the money you could be making while still writing for yourself!
