Why Aren't You Earning What you Deserve as a Ghostwriter?
Why can't you find high-paying clients?
Are you on LinkedIn, Facebook, X, Instagram, Reddit, and Tumblr—
and nothing's happening?
Do you scour job sites and apply for every ghostwriting gig that pops up?
Are you crying out, "What am I doing wrong?!"
You're not doing anything wrong.
You're just not doing everything right.
"I am so proud; I am so happy!"
I just finished my first manuscript as a professional Certified Ghostwriter. This is the most satisfying work I have ever done.
I write books for other people—and they pay me!
Donna Mosher, Certified Ghostwriter
"Pure gold!"
I hadn’t realized how much I didn’t yet know about how to take someone’s manuscript and turn it into a marketable literary property while still pleasing the client.
Robin Elvig, Certified Ghostwriter
The Demand for Professional Ghostwriters is Greater than the Supply
The Demand
- Ghostwriting is and has been the most profitable career choice for writers since the late 2010s
- 81% of all Americans—that's 283.5 million potential clients—want to write a book
- Approximately 50% of the global population—about 4 billion people—also want to share their information or stories
The Supply
- Approximately 54,000 people in America call themselves writers
- 200-250 of them are professional ghostwriters—that's less than .04%
- Approximately 2.5 million people around the world call themselves writers
- But still only 300-500 are professional ghostwriters!
