Writing for Free: A Strategy to Attract More Ghostwriting Clients
Have you ever considered writing for free to attract ghostwriting clients?
Maybe not.
Understandable.
Ghostwriting is a business.
You’re in business to make money.
I totally get that.
If you could earn $5,000 for a landing page for a beauty brand, would you feel confident sending over your invoice?
Of course.
How about working for the same beauty brand for $0 to later earn $5000?
Think about it, by offering your services for free to a company or individual that you admire and would like to work with in the future, you are not only showcasing your writing skills but also building a relationship that could lead to paid projects down the line.
Plus, having high-quality pieces in your portfolio can attract more potential clients who are willing to pay top dollar for your services.
But don’t just offer your services for free without any strategy or purpose. Be strategic in who you reach out to and make sure it aligns with your goals as a ghostwriter.
