I see ads for copywriters all the time — do you? I know my algorithm is set to bubble these ads to the surface, so I expect it. And I’m used to seeing their amazing claims here:
Now, is all of that possible? Sure. So is becoming a pilot, speaking three languages fluently and training a Great Pyrenees to come when you call it — the last one being the most difficult.
But you’ll do none of these things without a ton of consistent effort, and a focus on continuous improvement. And you’ll need to be good at whichever you pursue (preferably one at a time) or else you’ll crash majestically, be cringingly incoherent to your target audience and look like a nutcase shouting things repeatedly that are roundly ignored. The same things apply to ghostwriting. They apply to any writing, really.
The $10k claim. Making great money ghostwriting is entirely possible, but it rarely happens overnight. Not saying it couldn’t happen — that you won’t stumble upon a dream client with a bottomless budget who just loves you so much, you fresh off the ghostwriting boat fool, that they throw money at you to sort it all out for them . . . buuuut, it’s not likely.

How much is likely? Hate to say ‘it depends’ — but it does. The range of rates for ghostwriting services is boundless, like time and space. You can’t box it in, don’t even try! This makes writers angry when I say this, so I’ll have to come back to it in a later piece.
Clients for days? This on
