Freelancing vs. Ghostwriting: What is the difference?

Many people want to know what are the differences and similarities between ghostwriting and freelancing. When I began my career as a writer, most of my clients hired me as a freelance writer. As a freelance writer, I was able to earn credit for my contribution to the online media outlet. Some organizations were not able to compensate me for pay, instead, they offered me exposure.

As a new freelance writer, exposure could lead to more potential writing opportunities. Or if you’re not careful exposure could lead you down a path of writing for free. My advice is always to gain experience as a freelance writer and lean into where you want to go more clearly in the future. As a writer, you should always be fairly compensated for your work.

If you’re thinking of launching a writing career, this article may interest you. Freelancing is a great career path for many reasons such as writing for travel companies, and magazines and interviewing public figures. At the same time, ghostwriting offers many rewards and benefits such as a larger lump sum of payment and higher profile clients. This article will help you to distinguish between freelancing and ghostwriting.
