As a ghostwriter, I use notes, outlines and interviews to learn just exactly what the “author” wants to say, and how they want it said.

And then I write it. The “author” reviews and asks for corrections. When it’s right, it is published.

It is hard to trust a financial or marketing expert who cannot spell, or who uses poor grammar. Why should the world be deprived of an expert’s knowledge because their skill-set doesn’t include writing?

Because it takes more time to learn what the “author” has to say than it would to simply write from my own knowledge or research, I charge quite a bit more than 2 cents per word. But the product does truly belong to the “author.”

I pay by the post in some cases (e.g. $10 a post), by the word in other cases (2 to 4 cents per word) and by the project in other cases. I don’t know how you’d pay a writer by the hour though … writers are much more motivated when they are paid by the word, post or project.

If you don’t hire writers it will be very hard to scale your online business in my own experience. I don’t own and operate web sites for personal reasons; its just a way to pay the bills without working a 9 to 5 job.

Well, for those who wants to outsourced you can contact me and we can discussed about it.

Ten cents a word is a low price. I work in a group of 4 writers through Elance, which I highly recommend as a site that matches buyers with writers. You can find experienced writers who are new to the Elance site who are willing to work for even less. You can also find writers who “cudn’t spel wrytr yisterday n today I are 1.”

I charge between 20 and 50 cents per word for blogs, depending on the research involved. That is a typical range for experienced professionals on whose work you can rely.

Do be aware that some Elance providers either have a staff or sub-contract your job. While a staff can be helpful by keeping the work fresh and by covering for one another, you do want to be sure the person who discusses your job is the one who will actually do your work.

But your post raises the possibility of my being a blog/article writer to supplement income.

As well as the ezinearticles.com site, where else would you suggest as the optimum sites to promote writing skills?

Hire writers to do the How-To stuff. It’s really not about your “voice” so much in those posts. The visitor just wants the info and Now!

But… say your writing an article about your experience at a convention or the problems you had getting your travel arrangements or a rant about some product… Those should all be written by you.

Thank you so much for this article John! You Rock!
