A Halloween Job Opportunity: Ghost Writing

5 October 2008 3 Comments

It does seem fitting that I discuss ghost writing during the month of Halloween.  Sort of matches the occasion right?

Anyway, I’m mentioning ghost writing because of this new money-making opportunity I found online.  It’s relatively new and is quite unknown in the online world, but I did try them out and they paid me!  Now if that isn’t something worth talking about then I don’t know what is.

The website weneedghostwriters.com is as straightforward as you can get.  In a nutshell, they need people to write 500-word articles on specific topics.  Every article must be original and up to their standard to be accepted.  Here’s the deal: every accepted article is worth US $10, direct to your Paypal account.

The topics are fairly easy.  I’ve seen pet grooming and website building as two of the most common topics listed.  The thing about them is that they require at least two weeks to review your article.  Mine took at least two weeks and a half and was only paid for when I emailed them about it.

They don’t articulate their standards that much.  All they give you are the basics: no plagiarism, excellent writing and 500 words.  Granted it gives them a lot of room to say that your work isn’t up to par, but I think that’s something you can discuss with the company directly, if ever.

It’s just simple content writing, actually, except that you don’t get credit.  Personally that’s fine by me.  I’m more cash kind of girl anyway.

So do check it out and see if you can make some cash out of this.

Good luck and happy ghost writing!

XOXO,

    I tried to sign up with the ghost writing website, but I am really doubting that it is true. $10 per article? I could easily hire an outsourced writer and make 250% profit on each article I order, haha. If this is really accurate, then I am going to tax it for all it’s worth :P

    That is something worth trying I think. A 500-word article isn’t really long.

    How about this: http://www.theblogawardchallenge.com? Care to write and join?
