Is it Possible to Earn $2,000 a Month as a Ghostwriter?

Hi Blindmoongoddess, do you know anything about seo and writing articles for affiliate marketing? Many ghostwriters are earning more than $2,000 a month. However, these are the experienced ones who can write more than 20 articles a day, and stick very closely to the keyword density. The webmaster usually wants a set of 10 or 20 articles written with certain keywords. The article length is about 400 words, and keyword density about 2%. The difficulty is that most keywords are long-tailed keyword, such as "how to get your ex back". And you need to have 8 such sentences in the article. The average paying rate is 1 cent per word. The ghostwriter earns by writing in bulk of 10 or 20. At this rate, 10 articles of 400 words each mean an earning of $40. Most ghostwriters can complete the ten articles in less than two hours. You can sign up in Guru or Elance or Getafreelancer to get the writing assignment. You can also check out forums dot digitalpoint dot com for more information about copywriting.

I doubt it that you can make that's much money maybe if you work as affiliates doing blogs as SEO marketing i may believe that you can make money but as Ghost writer nope maybe not?

Scheng has given the best response, but I will agree with her that it is possible. However, writing like that is also like factory work. You have to have a good production system to be able to generate enough articles. It will be a challenge, particularly in the beginning. I would say that you should have your eyes wide open, be prepared to work hard, perfect your system, and find a place that pays well and on time. There have been stories circulating on the Internet about people who have taken advantage of writers. Make sure you work with a reputable company. Good luck.

I think earning $2000 a month as a ghostwriter is possible, but it depends on a number of factors: - your writing skill - your writing experience - where you look for writing work - how much you value yourself and your work - how much time you have on your hands - how you market yourself - how much work you're willing to put in I'd say start off by breaking down your goal over the month. For e.g., if you can schedule to write 4 days a week, then in order to hit your $2000 target, you'd need to make $125 a day ($2000/16 days). If it's 5 days, then it's $100 a day and so on. Than, decide how many articles you can manage to write to make that $125. Obviously, the more you can charge per article, the less you'll need to write. If you start at $0.01 per word, then that's a lot of articles to get through to reach that goal. I've glanced at your blog and I really don't think your writing warrants that low an amount. Aim higher. Browse through the following sites (if you don't know of them already) for gigs that pay better: - FreelanceWritingGigs.com - AllFreelanceWriting.com - wahm.com/forum/wahms-who-write-46 (a mix of pay levels. Very supportive forum.) You can also read ChrisBlogging.com and RavensWriting.Blogspot.com for inspiration. I'm gonna bookmark your blog. Take care and good luck.

What a wonderful discussion, have been able to learn alot from you best response and i must say that you didn't make a wrong choice choosing that one. I will like to hear from you, have you started like you were told. I am very interested in getting to know your progress so i can emulate it. I can write and i would want anybody would could give some sites that will allow me as an international member of the site and would not bother so much about tax information they could just go ahead and deduct tax according to rates they do with U.S members. I can write, i know that and need some sites that will just allow me do that, i need to find gigs that are irrespective of where i am from or which country i reside in and just let me do what i am good at doing.
