Ghost Writers make more money than living writers?
Ha-ha! I just got you into reading this article. True, I shouldn’t have mislead you, but, there are real people called ghost writers. No, they aren’t the spirits of dead writers out for revenge against all of us living people. They are also living people like us that are are looking around for some way to make a living. Only thing is that they make a lot more money than even the most talented writers on Associated Content.
Ghost Writing is the name given the occupation of writing website content for a webmaster without retaining any rights to the content. It is one of the most respected ways to make some money online, and is a well known job. People who are ghost writers make a lot of money for each little five hundred word keyword rich article they write. How much? Let’s say some 10-100 dollars per article.
If you have a website, you know why they should get paid a lot. If they give you the quality content you seek, your website will profit from it by climbing up the ladder called search engine rankings. And what webmaster doesn’t want that?
Ghost writing is just simply writing some articles and selling them to a webmaster for a monetary equivalent. If you have experience writing, you are a good candidate for being a ghost writer. In fact, I could have chosen to be a ghost writer instead of writing for Triond, where I get paid per view. It’s only like five cents a day if I get lucky enough, so yeah. Ghost writing could have gotten me those $120 Adidas cleats for soccer, but I chose this.
However, I’m not implying that anyone can be a ghost writer. You need a lot of experience writing in order to ghost write. Webmasters look for extremely talented writers that can boost the search engine rankings of their websites. They don’t look for how creative you are. They look at how focused you are on the subject, how many keywords there are in your article, and how good your writing is. If there’s time, they look for creativeness.
This is the only reason I decided to stay with Triond and earn pennies for twenty visits a day. It gets very difficult to earn money ghost writing if you write from your brain like I do. It is just about impossible to make money like that. I had written some articles to submit to a ghost writing service, but after getting rejected for my annoying creativeness, I just quit.
But just because I failed doesn’t mean you have to. If you are an appreciated and good Triond writer, you should really think about going into the field of ghost writing. One website that I really like that sells your content for you is ConstantContent. It has a base of content hungry customers that can make requests for content, and a just as big of a base of authors. I had signed up for it, but then I realised that I wouldn’t do good on it. But if you are, click here. It will take you to the website. Just click on the author sign up, and start writing!
There are other places where ghost writers can sell their content. For example, there is the highly popular elance.com, and getafreelancer.com. I really liked those, but if I signed up for those, I would have too many passwords to remember. HubPages, Bukisa, Associated Content, ConstantContent, and all the other random sites I signed up for.
So if you are a passionate freelancer, and you think that you can go into the field of ghost writing, go ahead.

I don’t think I would do well as a ghost writer. For one thing, I don’t want anyone else taking credit for my work. So, I’ll keep writing for Triond.
Still, this is an informative article. I like to know what’s going on in the world.
