Writing is essential to your online business. If you don't have the writing skills, you need to hire someone who can get the job done for you. When you run an online business you depend on your web content, newsletters, press releases, sales pages, articles, etc. to inform customers of your products, services and business. All of these things have one thing in common - writing. Since writing is key to the success of your business you need to ensure that the information you provide is grammatically correct, unique and interesting. If you do not have the vocabulary, are not writing in your first language, or have a difficult time expressing yourself through words, it's a good idea to employ the services of a professional ghost writer. An online ghostwriter is a professional writer that is paid for writing for someone, but does not receive credit for their writing. Essentially when you hire a ghost writer, you pay them for writing the material you want, and they hand over all copyrights to you. Of course, not every ghost writer out there is credible. The last thing you want is a writer that plagiarizes, does not meet your standards, or does not complete a contract. The following is how you can go about finding a reputable ghost writer: Online Contract Market Places - The best place to look for a ghost writer is at online contract market places such as Guru.com and Elance.com. There you will find web-based ghost writers who contract out their services. Contracting a writer through a market place provides you with more monetary security. Investigate the writer - Once you find a few writers that interest you, do some reasarch on them. Visit their webpages, check out their reviews and see what their previous clients had to say about them. You should also look into: * Writer's publications* Writer's message boards* Cost estimates* References* Examples of their work It's a good idea to choose a ghost writer that has their own business. Look for professionalism on their website. Also, don't be afraid to contact them to see how quickly they respond to you and so you can find out more about their business credentials. A great example of an online ghostwriter company is JBCOnlineePublishing.com. Create a contract - Don't work with any ghost writer that isn't willing to sign a contract. You might as well kiss your money goodbye. There are many scam artists out there, make sure you protect yourself; any reputable writer would want to do the same. Understand the job of a ghost writer - There are different types of professional ghost writers. Depending on the job a ghost writer may collaborate, research, and edit the material. However, keep in mind that while some writers excel at writing press releases and sales pages, others excel at writing keyword optimization articles and editing. Don't assume that one ghost writer can do all of your writing jobs. In addition, you need to remember that a ghost writer's job is to write, not publish or secure the success of the work they've done for you. There is no guarantee that what ghost writers create for you will be an automatic sell. You still need to do your own marketing, because once you've approved their work and paid them, your contract with the writer for that particular project is finished - they owe you nothing. Overall Relationship - It is important that you trust and like the writer you choose, and work with them closely. You want a writer who can deliver your vision exactly the way you want it. If you are unsatisfied with a writer, don't be afraid to tell them and look for another. There are plenty of exceptional ghosts flying around the World Wide Web looking for work. Finally, don't forget that it is your responsibility to reimburse the ghostwriter for expenses that may include postage, the phone and other small pocket expenses related to the job they are performing for you.
