Want to Produce a Promotional Article?
Looking for a Copywriter Who's Also a Ghostwriter?

One great way of getting free publicity, and becoming known as an expert in your field, is to write articles about the product or service you sell. For example:

• Are you a marriage counselor? How about an article called "14 Ways to Make Sure Your Marriage Lasts"?
  
• Sell jewelry? Why not, "18 Things You Need to Know Before You Buy Your Next Diamond"?
  
• Sell pools? Try, "7 Tips: Make Sure You Get the Pool of Your Dreams."

If you're selling direct to consumers, query the magazines your target market reads to see if they'd be interested in a piece related to your topic. Or, query local and regional newspapers to interest editors in feature articles. Either way, you get your name out there, become known as an expert, and win extra sales!

If businesses are your target, query trade publications that your business segment reads. For example:

• Sell Web sites? How about, "18 Ways to Make the Web Work for Your Business."
  
• Sell Office Supplies? Try, "How to Organize Your Office to Save Time and Money."

Don't fret if you're not a writer. The Write Idea will help you develop ideas and point you to markets for this fabulous and free way of getting your name out and garnering free publicity.

Ghostwriting and Article Writing Fees
Ghostwriting, article and report writing fees begin with a one-time charge of between $300 to $2,000 to cover my initial consultations, research and interviews. Then, add on from 50 cents up to $2.00 per word, based on how much work, such as research and interviewing, needs to be done.

Depending on what you plan to do with the article, you may want to hire me to write query letters first to get the go-ahead from an editor to produce an article. Query letter fees begin with an initial fee of $600 for the pre-writing work, and include the first query. Additional query letters cost between $200 and $400 each, depending on the complexity of the project. If you decide to hire me to query editors first, and if I get an assignment, I won't charge you the consultation fee twice. You'll only have to pay our agreed upon per-word rate.

Note that I can't publish my ghostwritten pieces here--business owners who use me to ghostwrite their articles often don't want others to know they've had the assistance of a professional writer.
