As a writer, you’ve spent a lot of time thinking about the writing you can do for yourself — things like books, articles, social media posts, speeches, blog posts, podcast content, and other material that can build your audience and grow your business.

But have you ever considered writing for other people? More specifically, have you ever considered … ghostwriting? Ghostwriting is one of those terms that is tossed around, it’s kind of mysterious, and a lot of people wonder what it’s all about.

Fortunately, we have an amazing expert to tell us all about the fascinating and potentially high-paying world of ghostwriting. His name is Nick Pavlidis, and he has built a successful ghostwriting business over the last few years.

This episode is a real-world case study of some issues and questions I have as I build my ghostwriting business … and fortunately, Nick is here to offer his excellent wisdom, as he always does.

Some of the questions we cover:

  • Did I deal with a particular client situation the right way?
  • Should you ever write for free?
  • How much should I charge for a blog post?
  • What kind of dollar amount should I put on my time?
  • Should I offer a free content audit for prospective clients?
  • How do I actually find more clients?
  • Am I using this podcast the right way to connect with prospective clients?
  • Can I write my own books and also ghostwrite books for clients at the same time?

Make sure to sign up for a free live training that Nick is offering on Thursday, April 16. It’s called “How to Become a Highly Sought-After Ghostwriter and Design the Life of Your Dreams.” You can register for it by going to https://ghostwriterschool.com/freetraining.
