SUBJECT: Having Your Ebook Ghostwritten Lesson 18 of 50: What About Guru?

Hi {!firstname_fix},

Guru operates similarly. You can visit
www.guru.com to find the company's agreements,
paying procedures, and finder's fee amounts. The
home page of Guru lists categories of freelancers
available. You will want to head directly to the
"Writing/Editing/Translation" category list on
Guru. Currently, there's a fee structure at Guru
that varies depending on what type of
subscription freelancers or service companies
have purchased. Some freelancers can list basic
skills and respond to some ads for free. Paid
members and companies will have higher profiles
and be able to bid more frequently. To post a
"ghostwriter wanted" ad is free. You will still
have the power to peruse the entire catalog and
invite certain service providers to bid on your
project. The finder's fees range from 5 to 10
percent, and the finder's fees are pulled from
the buyer and/or the seller at Guru. Guru is a
larger site that has won some awards and has a
catalog of hundreds of thousands of service
providers in their database. Like with Elance,
only a fraction of the service providers are
ghostwriters looking for eBook work though. But a
fraction of almost 500,000 is a good number.

Because of the buyers market, your odds are
pretty good for finding someone quickly on the
Internet. Postings for "ghostwriter wanted" are a
factor of ten fewer than the number of authors
that may bid on the job. This is regardless of
monthly fees and percentages charged to the
writers on the sites. Sometimes there's also a
fee-per-bid charge for service providers. Since
many ghostwriters who will be responding to your
ad are already out of pocket monetarily, they're
eager for your project. And, they are serious
about their business. 

The information available about each service
provider, i.e. ghostwriter, can be compared to
information available on vendors on the popular
eBay auction site. Histories and rankings on the
large sites are readily available for each writer
or company you are thinking of hiring. You can
see if other clients have been satisfied with a
writer's work, and see how many eBooks a
ghostwriter has written through the use of the
freelancer bank. These indicators can be very
helpful when it comes time to make a selection,
and I'll talk more about how to choose a writer
in the next chapter. 

There is another freelance database on the web
where ghostwriters lurk sometimes called
AllFreelance. There, eBook creators have been
known to find ghostwriters using a procedure
similar to the ones at Elance or Guru.
