3 Steps To Onboard Your First Ghostwriting Client Like A Pro

In this post, I’ll explain how to kick off your first ghostwriting project like a pro (so you stand out as a Premium Ghostwriter).

But first, let’s recap how you got here.

All your hard work paid off:

• You’ve created an Irresistible Offer.
• ‍You’ve done value-first cold outreach.
• You’ve quoted a no-brainer price by anchoring to outcomes (not other writers).

And you landed your first client!

Congratulations! After coaching hundreds of ghostwriting students (and experiencing this for myself), I know how life-altering this moment can be. There is life before landing your first client, and then there is life after. Your understanding of what’s possible as a writer has just been changed forever.

But, after about 30 minutes of jumping for joy, reality will start to hit home:

• “Do I need a contract?”
• “How do I accept payment?”
• “What’s the first step of a ghostwriting project?”

And tons more questions will come up.

The truth is, how you conduct yourself at the start of a project will show the client a lot about how you work and what they can expect…
