Frequently Asked Questions

Why hire a professional ghostwriter?

If you hire professionals to do your graphics and web design, why not hire professionals to create your content? Since "content is king", shouldn't it be the very best content that's available?

What are the benefits of hiring a native English speaking ghostwriter?

When you hire Your-Ghost-Writer.com you get the benefit of:

  1. Writing, proofreading and editing experience (over 30 years)
  2. Extensive experience using online tools for writing research (over 10 years)
  3. Knowledge of SEO and web design considerations as they relate to site content (over 5 years)
  4. Internet marketing experience (over 2 years)
  5. Super fast typist (up to 120 words per minute) - meaning that your turn around time is usually very quick!

Doesn't it cost less to hire an offshore ghostwriter?

It depends. An experienced writer who is a native English speaker doesn't necessarily cost more. Your ghostwriter offers highly competitive prices, even when compared to those of writers who are non-native English speakers. Take into consideration also, that with a foreign writer you may need to have your articles or ebooks professionally edited to make them more readable and enjoyable for native English speakers. If so, you might even end up paying more. It's frustrating to discover that you could have actually saved money  by having everything written from scratch by a professional, native English speaking writer.

Why should I hire a native English speaking article writer when I can hire article writers from the Philippines for only 1 cent per word?

Your-Ghost-Writer.com can meet or beat almost any realistic price. Please see the Services page for more details.

Search engines don't care about spelling and grammar. Why should I?

If your intent is only to attract search engines and not humans, then you obviously don't care about spelling, grammar, readability, etc. However, since site owners usually create content in order to attract humans (who hopefully spend money on your site or sign up for your newsletter), it's a good idea to have content that is of real value. Since "content is everything", shouldn't your content be the very best that is available?

How much does it cost to get professional ghostwriting for article sites and blogs?

Generally speaking, articles for blogs and article sites cost around 1 cent per word. It can cost less more more, depending on whether or not you need your ghostwriter to do writing research and/or keyword research, and whether or not you have existing content or PLR content that you merely want re-written. See Services page for more details.
