How does one get into ghostwriting?

• ghaff 5y ago
  I don't really do much of it. I'm just a known writer (among other things) in tech and know a lot of people so professional friends reach out to me from time to time. Honestly, random companies wouldn't pay what I would consider my base rate which is at least $1.50+/word or so. I'm pretty sure none of the gig-work sites would. So ~$1500-$2000 for a blog post is pretty much my floor but if I bring some brand to it, it's substantially higher.

  Get into freelance writing, the gigs are all over the place. But mostly they're terrible — writing for <$1.00/word is an unsustainable grind unless you live overseas where the dollar goes a lot further. As with consulting, landing the high-ticket contracts is usually more about who you know (and who knows you / knows of you).
