3 Simple Ways To Structure Ghostwriting Deals
So you can make more money as a writer
I’ve made over $3,000,000 as a Premium Ghostwriter.
But how do ghostwriters actually charge for their work and make money?
There are 3 ways most ghostwriting projects or retainers get structured:
- Flat-Rate, Per Project
- Monthly Rate, Per Recurring Service
- Up-Front Cash, Plus Performance Upside
Let’s dive into each one.
Way 1: Flat-Rate, Per Project
Some ghostwriting services provide the creation of an asset with a clear end point.
For example, the primary asset we train ghostwriters on how to write, build, and sell inside our Premium Ghostwriting Academy is a 5-Day Educational Email Course — which is a high-value opt-in for businesses and/or people with personal brands to capture customer emails. This is an asset that takes about a month to build, but then can run via email forever. And for this project, we recommend ghostwriters charge a flat rate of $5,000.
