Actual for You - Ghost Writers - How To Hire A Good One - Part One
As a Franchisor with a 17-hour a day, 7-day per week decade long run before retirement I found myself opening units serving 450 cities, 110 markets, 23 states and 4-countries. Later as a Franchising Consultant and prior as a Board of Director for the American Association of Franchisees and Dealers, I met many a failed or disgruntled struggling franchisee. Many of these franchisees blamed their Franchisors, they blamed their partners and the blamed the Government Regulators and yet never stopped to look in their own mirrors.Indeed I see the situation as personally and fin
Take care to frame your post from the point of view of the writer and give full details, such as the subject of the work, the approximate length and the price you have budgeted. Your aim is to appear businesslike and reliable, so that you attract the good, experienced writers.
For the same reason, don't specify an immediate start. That could stop good writers from bidding, because they're currently inv
You have a unique advantage, an edge no one else has. When you put that unique advantage to work for you -- when you take the time to develop it as you would strengthen a muscle -- you get something that reduces perceived risk and triples your chances for success.That something is called Informed Confidence.In fact, research in progress by the SBA Office of Advocacy (http://www.sba.gov/advo/) shows that confidence is the number one success factor when starting any new venture. But confidence alone is not enough. You need the kind of confidence you get only by
On top of that, it's fairly easy to outsource the creation of the product. This releases you to concentrate on where the real money is: marketing your product.
Want proof?
I'm sure you would agree Bill Gates hasn't done too badly, yet he has software written for him. Sure, Bill can write software, but he sensibly allowed another experienced professional to write the Windows operating system, whilst he got on with the more important task of marketing the product.
So the result is that Bill Gates is just about the world's richest man. The latest edition of Forbes Magazine's 400 Richest People In America reports he's back on top with $51 billion. And, whilst the software writer was well paid, he's only worth a fraction of this.
Fortunately, there are some great writers out there, happy to sit for hours tapping away, whilst others get on with figuring out how best to sell what they are writing.
Put these two groups together and you have a marriage made in heaven -- provided you (as the commissioning editor) do certain specific things properly.
Having your book ghost written is not a new concept. But the internet now allows us to commission work from writers in any part of the planet, via one of the many on line sites, bringing together writers and publishers. The even better news is you will own the copyright, as if you wrote it yourself.
Probably the most popular website is: http://www.Elance.com.
Similar sites include: http://www.ContactedWork.com http://www.Guru.com http://FreelanceWorkExchange.com.
If you want to become the next Bill Gates, try: http://www.RentACoder.com.
These sites allow you to post details of your project, for which their panel of writers will then bid.

If the main goal of your newsletter is to generate extra business, either from new customers through referrals or from your existing client base, you will want to make it as easy as possible for people to contact you.First, you will already have included an offer in your newsletter -- a reason why they should purchase from you today. When you describe this offer, make sure you include a way to contact you right there and then -- don't make them hunt around for contact information. So after describing your offer, say something like "call us on 555-555-5555 today to set up

Every aspirant is confronted with the same question- What online business should I get into? This is the trickiest of all the questions before you set out. Because you know all too well, that the success of your new career rests on this one decision more than anything else. Having access to reports of all kinds, software, worksheets and practical tools to your help are available online by the dozen. However, casually choosing a line of business is likely to land you up in what can be now famously termed as home based online business scam.No matter what, the benefits of o

Motivation starts with vision. In other words, people need to believe that they will succeed in what you are motivating them to do. No one likes to lose. For that matter, no one wants to lose. No one even wants to be associated with losers. So overcome this hurdle and instill in your listener or audience a vision of winning. Thinking we can win and seeing that victory in our mind's eye stirs our internal motivation. When we help others think of past victories or we instill the vision of victory in them, we can motivate them to take action. Olym

Use Proposal Marketing and you’ll be your own hot spot, opening gateways previously inaccessible. Hook up with those who have the power to hire you.

Sync with decision makers’ needs and high-speed your career campaign.Job Search scalability reduces emotional cost and physical effort.

For the same reason, don't specify an immediate start. That could stop good writers from bidding, because they're currently involved in other projects. It might also attract bids from wanabee writers in little demand, whose sole merit is being able to start immediately.
One of my students thought he would give such a new writer a break and never heard from them again.
A good tip to eliminate inexperienced writers is to describe your project as a simple task for an experienced writer.
As a preliminary safeguard, these sites grade writers, based on publisher's feedback. Take care though, because they also grade publishers, based on the writer's feedback!
Here's an even more specific way of checking out writers -- and seeing if you can work in harmony with them. Initially, only ask for writers to write a series of two or three 600 word articles on the subject you plan for your e-book.
Remember, a book is little more than a series of extended articles, called chapters, so this will be a good test to demonstrate that the would-be writers understand how to structure an article or chapter and follow an idea in a logical manner.
Then evaluate each article on quality of writing, timely delivery and ease of working with the writer as a person.
The cost of the articles won't be wasted, because you can eventually use them to generate interest in the book and you'll probably find it actually saves you time and money by eliminating false starts and rewrites.
Always send the losing bidders a brief note of thanks. It keeps the door open on the relationship, because you never know when you might want to commission work from them in the future, even if your chosen writer is a rip roaring success.
For example, you may want to work with another writer, if you have a very specialised subject -- say for a niche market. You'll always get a better job from a writer with some experience of the subject, rather than a writer who has to research
