SUBJECT: Having Your Ebook Ghostwritten Lesson 31 of 50: Ghostwriter Charges

Hi {!firstname_fix},

Now, some men and women who charge an arm and a
leg are actually extremely gifted and
highly-sought-after artists. You may be tempted
to get one of them because they've done writing
for a famous client list or they've been
published in the New York Times. 

But don't. Don't hire the over-charger, and don't
hire the Rolls Royce of ghostwriters. Neither one
will get you what you need. With the
over-charger, you'll be paying too much for a
product. With the Rolls Royce writer, you will
get better writing than you need for an eBook.
Your target readers, in most cases, are hungry
for information. They want a book that cuts
through the bull, lays the dots out, and then
connects them. They don't want a lot of three or
four syllable words. They don't require or
appreciate poetry or line after line of clever
humor. There's just no need to have J. K.
Rowlings write your book (and anonymously,
imagine!). 

If for some reason after reading this book, you
decide not to use a ghostwriter bank system to
get competing bids, then I urge you to comparison
shop. Get at least three bids if you're looking
only at individual ghostwriting sites. 

Generally, if a ghostwriter wants $10,000 for a
60-page eBook, he's charging more than normal. I
can't think of anything that would make this
worth the money. If she claims to be able to
complete your project in 48 hours or less, in my
experience, the product will be sloppy at best.
If a ghostwriter wants $5,000 for an 80-page
eBook, she's charging on the high side, but you
may want to see if the services are worth it. She
may score an A-plus on every criterion mentioned
in this chapter, and she may indeed be your
niece! In that case, I wouldn't think of stopping
you. Some writers offer a range of additional
services, guarantees, rewrites, or even prepare
cover art or sales web pages for you.
Ghostwriters are an eclectic bunch. Some may even
provide you with marketing leads. Still, I think
$5,000 is on the high side, and I'd try to look
for someone a couple thousand dollars cheaper,
just because I can in the buyers market. (But
don't tell my brother's daughter.) 

When you select a writer, you will need to strike
up a written agreement. The large freelancing
sites have contracts that you can use. The
contracts will include payment for particular
milestones, whether or not revisions will be
included, deadlines, and confidentiality issues.
