My Experience as a Freelance Writer

9 years! Yes, this year (2018) marks the 9th year of my career as a freelance ghostwriter and copywriter. I would like to share my experience here for others who would like to take on the same journey of establishing their careers in freelance writing, and learn from the mistakes I made. When I started back in 2009, I was newly married, in a new place, with a new life ahead of me. I had nobody to guide me on where and how to begin. I knew absolutely no one- NO ONE, who was working as a freelance writer. I started with zero knowledge and experience. All I knew was I could write. I was determined I could use this skill of mine to earn myself a living while still being able to look after my home and family. How could I tell others about it? How could I sell this skill of mine, and make any money out of it? I knew nothing. My only friend back then was Google, and not to mention, my husband, who supported me with what I wanted to do. 1.

How Much Does a Ghostwriter Earn?

People often ask me how much I with this little business of ghostwriting . Wrong question-I know! But, I think it needs to be answered in some way or the other, just to help the budding freelance writers to know what to expect and to create realistic goals while they are starting their careers as ghostwriters.This is also to help those who are thinking of hiring a ghostwriter for their next book. Some people may actually be trying to judge how strong you are financially or rate your success in life by finding out how much you make on a monthly or annual basis by asking such questions. Who cares though? We really can't change the way people think. Can we? No! All we can do is stay calm and carry on. To be completely honest with you, there is not an exact figure of how much I make in a year through my ghostwriting business at Ghostwriters' World . Why? Because it is just like any other business. There are ups and downs. Profits and even losses. Happy customers and dissat...
