I often get asked how I manage to find enough online ghostwriting jobs to actually succeed in earning a full time wage as an online writer.

My answer is that it is not easy to find them, and you have to be prepared to put the effort in to find ghost writing jobs that will appeal to you.  You will never win every single job you apply for, so you have to make sure you apply for more than you need.

Let’s say you are only going to win 10% of the jobs you apply for.  Fair enough, so you have to make up the numbers to win the amount of work you want to get.  Work out the figures and you will soon know roughly how many online ghostwriting jobs you need to apply for.  After a while you will get your own percentage of success to work with.

How many ways are there to find ghost writing jobs online?

Plenty!  Start by adding a signature link to your emails, offering your services as an online writer.  Use sites like Indeed.com to find all the ghost writing jobs you want, and make sure you set up alert emails whenever new work appears.

Use Google Reader to subscribe to RSS feeds that provide you with potential work sources as well.

Next, make sure you have a blog or a website on which you can promote your services.  This will enable you to get a stronger presence on the web.  And don’t forget to write articles for sites like Triond too – it all helps to promote yourself and increase your chances of being found!

Here are some other sources you can try to find online ghostwriting jobs at – Craigslist, classified ad sites, job sites like Elance et al, and plenty more besides.  Just remember to keep looking and you will eventually win more and more online ghostwriting jobs
