From Sean Mize:

Are you a good writer?

Are you struggling to monetize your writing because you don’t have the audience (yet)?

Do you write for yourself or for social media, but you aren’t making the money you need from that writing?

If so, I’d like to introduce you to the concept of ghostwriting.

Ghostwriting is taking a percentage of your writing capacity each day, and instead of using it for your own books, articles, and posts, you write for someone else who has an audience, and they pay you either directly for your work, or they pay you based on performance of the work.

By the way, today’s article is brought to you by the Premium Ghostwriting Academy:

Struggling to make more than $5k/month as a writer?

Stop “freelance writing.”

Start Premium Ghostwriting.

Here’s the truth about why you aren’t consistently landing high-paying clients:

❌ You’re writing “anything” for “anyone,” not focusing on 1 offer.
❌ You’re wasting hours on freelancer sites, not “creating” your own clients.
❌ You’re doing low-paying work (like blog posts), not delivering outcomes.

Here are a few steps to becoming a ghostwriter:

1) Become actually good at writing

Other than taking courses and classes on writing, the most important thing you can do to become better at your writing is to . . . write.

Write, write, write.

And don’t just write.

Write and read what you write, then make it better.

Achieve to make each piece you write, better than the one before.

Challenge yourself to improve on one component each time you write:

Story - telling

Persuasion

Organization

Voice

Clarity

Conciseness

Illustriousness

And other things

2) Read a lot of other people’s works in the topic you want to write for.

Don’t just assume you are the best.

Surround yourself with people who are better writers than yourself, and challenge yourself to become better than them.

Not in a negative way, but in a friendly way, like playing a game of chess to win against a good friend.

Win in the writing game.

3) Look for publications that have multiple authors and ask if they need another writer.

This isn’t ghostwriting, but it gets you in the door and getting offers and getting experience negotating your work, your rate, and producing good content according to someone else’s expectation.

4) Get into ghosting writing communities and forums.

Make friends with other writers.

Ask them if they come across a project they don’t have time, bandwidth, or desire to do, if they would send that work your way.

You can offer a percentage of the work if you want (for example, 10%).

Sometimes jobs are posted in forums or communities.

Get your ear to the ground.

Become a member of at least 100 communities or forums, and actively engage in the 5 most meaningful ones (by most meaningful this doesn’t necessarily mean volume, it might mean community or feel, etc.)

5) Start your own newsletter and write frequently.

Your writing is the BEST advertisement for your work and capability!

6) and 7) Start immediately!

There’s no substitute for just getting started to get practice, get exposure, and get writing gigs and side hustles!
