Have you heard the word ghostwriter but aren’t exactly sure what it’s all about? In short, a ghostwriter is someone you hire to write on your behalf. There’s typically an assigned topic with general parameters like word count and keyword focus. Finding a ghostwriter that is familiar with your niche and fits within your budget is almost a unicorn in the writing world. I’m going to break down why you need to hire a ghostwriter for your photography blog today and exactly how it’s done.
To help you get started, I’m going to break down why you need to hire a ghostwriter for your photography blog today and exactly how it’s done. Ready to get started?
Let’s talk about the reasons why you need to hire a ghostwriter for your photography blog.
Reason #1 – You are busy!
Let’s be honest, if you actually get a little downtime the last thing you want to do is write. Right?
When you hire a ghostwriter, incredible content can be published on a regular basis without requiring you to sit down and do all of the work. Every writer works a little different, but the general idea remains… you pick the topic, they write. Simple as that. Who wouldn’t love to have a new blog post ready to publish on a daily basis without having to actually sit down and force your fingers to plunk out the words?
Side note… if you’ve purchased a domain name and set up hosting, don’t let your site just sit there! Hiring a ghostwriter is one easy way to put your (already paid for) site to work for you.
Reason #2 – You hate writing.
You are not alone.
In fact, I’ve found that more people hate writing than love it. I’m not sure why this is. Maybe the idea of writing causes flashbacks to school days and the fear of getting a bad grade. Maybe you just hate staring at a blank screen with that darn cursor blinking away at you. Whatever the cause, you can skip doing something you hate and still get the item checked off your to-do list by hiring a ghostwriter. They’ll do the heavy lifting, you just copy and paste or simply push ‘publish’.
Reason #3 – You need content.
If you want your website to gain any kind of traction, content is absolutely key. When you hire a ghostwriter, you are ensuring that someone is 100% focused on creating amazing content for your website. It’s a huge weight that can be easily lifted off your shoulders by developing a relationship with a ghostwriter who fits your style and writing needs.
Alright, you get the basic idea… hire a ghostwriter and get peace of mind, more time, excellent content.
Good deal? Let’s move on. How exactly do you hire a ghostwriter?
