Every blogger wants to know how to monetize blogs.

If you are blogging here, you already know that your published articles and comments can earn upvotes in Bitcoin Cash. There are plenty of publishing platforms that let the authors monetize.

Crypto-blogging platforms are attractive among the blogging community because they reward authors in cryptocurrencies.

  • There are many other ways a blogger can monetize their created content. Some publishing platforms empower creators to assign a custom price for each content.

  • Odysee-dot-Com is a content publishing platform that lets creators put content under a "pay and view" price or free for all.

=> What are the other earnings from writing opportunities?


Ghostwriting is a good way to earn by writing.

I can write in English, Bengali, and Hindi.

  • As a researcher of technology, I authored several research papers. Those research papers were published in peer-reviewed research journals and edited volumes of conference proceedings.

  • I didn't get any monetary benefit from publishing peer-reviewed journal and conference research papers.

I utilize my research experience and writing skills to ghostwrite technical articles and essays for others. They are my clients, and as a ghostwriter, I deliver quality technical articles as per their requirements.

  • I have earned a decent amount by ghostwriting.

=> You may be interested to know what exactly is the meaning of ghostwriting.

To know it please continue reading.

What is ghostwriting?

Ghostwriting means writing on behalf of someone, a group, or a company.

  • The published content doesn't use the ghostwriter's name as an author.

  • The written content is published by the clients' and/or companies' names.

The creator's name doesn't appear in the public view. That is why the word "ghostwriter" is chosen to represent the role.

  • The clients know who is the ghostwriter, but the readers/consumers don't see the ghostwriter's name. They see only the clients' names as the creators/authors.

If you write for clients as a freelancer on platforms, such as Upwork, you are already an accomplished ghostwriter.


Concluding words

I strongly recommend that all bloggers try to monetize their writing skills and experience on a core subject.

  • Ghostwriting is a simple choice to earn by writing for clients.

  • There are many platforms to earn as a ghostwriter.

=> Upwork is one such platform.

=> Upwork doesn't have any referral programs!

=> So, I don't gain if you choose Upwork.

=> Upwork is already overcrowded with freelancers!

Explore the world of ghostwriting and start earning for creating quality content.

=> Add Ghostwriting as a New Income Instrument!


Postscript

  • The day before yesterday, I received a ghostwriting job offer from a new client!

  • The client sent me three direct InMails on LinkedIn! It shows that the client is very much interested in my work experience.

The writing job is on a topic close to cryptography and cryptocurrencies.

  • I have to complete the writing project within seven days from the day of accepting the job offer!

  • So, I will have to devote at least 2 to 3 hours every day to researching the current status of the writing project topic.

  • Then, I will write the research article which the client requires to be about 6 to 8 pages long. I have to continually show them the progress of the work.

The fees for the writing job suit my hourly rate. My ghostwriting hourly rate is not less than what I earn here by rewards in an entire month!

  • Moreover, the payment will be in US Dollars which can be transferred legally to my local fiat bank account whenever required. That means it will show in my income for calculating income tax as per the government's income tax rules.

The advantage is that there is no need to convert the earnings from cryptocurrency to fiat! Because the earnings are in dollars.

  • One must adopt some safeguarding strategies while working as a ghostwriter. The clients are not all ethical and honest!

In the comment section,@ARTicLEE reminded us about the spammers in the freelancing world in a comment. There are scammers and money laundering accounts everywhere. We have to be very careful as ghostwriters.

Can you mentor me on how to be successful on Upwork?

If I understood, I would have created an online tutorial on the subject!

A good employer or client searches for a good employee/freelancer.

Matching the requirement and experience is the key.

If not achieved, it doesn't click.

So we are considered as ghostwriters here in read.cash? Do freelancers are the only person who can work in Upwork?

$ 0.00

No, we are not ghostwriters on RedCash. We are just bloggers.

People who work for clients and earn are called freelancers. Upwork is a platform for global citizens, both employers, and freelancers. Employers hire freelancers for their advertised job on Upwork.

Oh, I got it now. So those people who only write for clients like freelancers are ghostwriters. I hope I can get a job like that someday. Thank you for this enlightenment !

Ghostwriters' names remain private to the audience. The content appears by the names of the clients.

A word of caution though. Lots of scammers also in Upwork so be careful who are dealing with there.

Oh yes. There are scammers and money laundering accounts everywhere. I met one such account in 2018 that wanted to grab some codes free of cost as a sample! I didn't agree. And, some people/clients call freelancers outside of Upwork and finally cheat!

I knew about this method but was unaware of the term, so far I have created an upwork account already but haven't got peace to dive into it as this month after every 2-3 days I had to travel different cities for house work, I plan to dive fast in this sector.

I have a verified profile on Upwork. I seldom log in to it. Fortunately, the client sent me a direct message on LinkedIn about the job offer.

Before this I thought ghostwriting means writing about "jin & bhoot" (Monsters)🤣, but thanks for clearifying my mistake 😁. I made the account on upwork a long time but didn't set my profile there because I thought it's difficult task for me. But you are doing great congratulations for getting the order from the upwork client

There are so many influential ghostwriters on LinkedIn. They are celebrities. They advise and ghostwrite for corporate leaders. It is luck if an appropriate client finds you. It is luck for them too.

I used to work for Upwork. But you're right, the competition is scary.

There is competition in freelancing. I applied to so many jobs and was eventually rejected. Most employers don't know what they require!

Getting discovered by an appropriate employer is the key. They invite you to submit a proposal. I got good jobs by invitations only.

Hehe, Ghost Writer Didn't know about this term before.

I heard about the Upwork network from my friend but didn't give it a try yet so will connect myself there.

Yes, "Ghostwriter" is the terminology meaning people who write on behalf of others.

Create your account on Upwork. It is indeed tough to get a new account verified by the platform.

I created the account in 2017. I had to update my profile and skills at least five/six times to finally get my account approved by the platform.

The freelancers don't connect there! They submit applications for matching jobs.

Thank you for explaining it in brief.

"The freelancers don't connect there! They submit applications for matching jobs"

Hehe, Alright. I got your point. I will gonna try to do complete research about this network before going up there.
