Have you thought about hiring a ghostwriter to work with you on your first or next book but you’re not sure if you can or if you’re ready to hire and work with a ghostwriter to write and publish your book? Would you like to know what services you can get when you use a ghostwriter? Get ready, because today we’re going to explore what services you can use when you hire a ghostwriter and when you need to hire a ghostwriter.
Who Should Write a Book?
While anyone can author a book, the verticals that benefit most from becoming an author are entrepreneurs, speakers, and business owners who want to be seen as an authority in their field. Having a book published in your name is a great way to expand the reach of your marketing campaign, give you the ability to receive higher-paid speaking gigs, and increase the number of touchpoints to obtain new clients. You can also write a book as a personal goal to fulfill your own bucket list item and to have an accomplishment that puts you in the top 1% of people in the world.
Why Write a Book?
There are many reasons why authors write books! Some authors want to be seen as an expert in their field, and others want to inspire with their passion. Another reason for writing a book is to educate your clients or build your client base with a published book.
No matter the reason for writing your book, having “author” as part of your bio is a lifetime achievement and a fantastic goal to achieve. Not only does it show your network and your tribe that you’re serious about your work, purpose, or business, becoming an author gives you a higher level of authority in your field.
When Should You Hire a Ghostwriter?
Did you know that there isn’t a right or wrong reason to hire a ghostwriter? You can hire a ghostwriter at any point in your writing process, even if you’ve finished your rough draft. A good ghostwriter can help you write and/or improve the book content you already have written. Some ghostwriters will also offer editing services while they are writing your book, so you can have your writing and editing done with one person!

How to Grow Your Email List on a Small Business Budget
Today I have a Digital Marketing Hotseat episode on Marketeers Mastermind! Bri Campano and her business partner Trevor from Numo - Numerous Perspectives where Bri and Trevor host a daily live show along with their numerous podcasts. Today Bri and Trevor are here to ask a digital marketing hotseat question: how to build an email marketing list when you have a small business sized budget?
One of the Best Digital Marketing Campaigns is Email Marketing
If you’re looking to grow your business, the best way to stay connected to your clients and leads isn’t through social media. When you want to build your business and create more sales from the time and money you spend with your marketing, you’re best bet is to consistently send emails to your marketing list.
Email marketing, although it’s been around for more than two decades, gets eyes on your content and enables you to make a personal connection with your readers without the distraction of scrolling, such as when you post content on your social media feed.
The best way to increase your email list is through offering lead magnets. Lead magnets are a great way to offer a freebee in exchange for someone’s email. Now you can stay in touch with your prospective clients and followers by sending personalized messages along with educating your clients in your email campaign, positioning yourself as an expert in your field.
Building Your Email Marketing List with Lead Magnets
A lead magnet is content you can offer your website visitors and social media followers in exchange for their email addresses or other contact information. A lead magnet is a content that you give away to someone who has clicked on your link. You receive their email address in exchange for the content you give them.
The best medium to deliver your lead magnet is by creating an ebook, an online course, or a newsletter. You’ll want your giveaway to be a product that is easy for them to download and use, such as a free mini-ebook, discount coupon, online course, a how-to course that’s dropped to them by email, or any other type of valuable content you can provide to them that is easy for you to deliver - it should not take a large amount of your valuable time.

How much does a ghostwriter charge?
Have you thought about hiring a ghostwriter to work with you on your first or next book but you’re not sure how much they charge or how to hire a ghostwriter? The services that ghostwriters can offer and what they charge for their services vary greatly from writer to writer. You’ll need to do your homework to learn if they require time contracts, forms of payments they will take, and how fast they can finish your book. Find out what you need to consider when you hire a ghostwriter and how ghostwriters typically charge for their work writing your book.
Who Should Write a Book?
While anyone can author a book, the verticals that benefit most from becoming an author are entrepreneurs, speakers, and business owners who want to be seen as an authority in their field.

The Job of a Ghostwriter
The job of a ghost is to write your book, and if you hire them for other services, to complete those other services too. While not all writers are ghostwriters, a good ghostwriter who has excellent ghostwriting skills takes practice and an ability to communicate well with the client. Hiring a ghostwriter is a great way to take the pressure of writing a book away from you and onto the ghostwriter’s plate who can provide your book in a timely manner - many times on a much better timeline than if you were to write your book yourself.
