An Experienced Ghostwriter is Expensive, but Worth Every Cent

Even if you love writing and think, “I can write this myself!” You probably can, but do you want to? And do you want to deal with the frustrating roadblocks on your way to publication? Do you have time to deal with any of that when you have a regular job and family that comes first? If not, then maybe it’s time to consider hiring an experienced ghostwriter. But they aren't cheap! Here are some things they’ll be able to do that you may not be prepared to take on. You'll soon realize they are worth every penny spent.
One reason writing is hard? You have to do it alone. A good ghostwriter can help you with that, but unfortunately, they’re also expensive. However, just because something costs more doesn’t mean it’s bad value for money. An experienced ghostwriter might be more expensive than the amateurs out there, but their quality will be far superior, and in the long run, you’ll probably find that you’re saving money because you don’t have to re-do your work after the first draft.

Everyone knows that writing is difficult - and everyone knows that most folks just aren't good at it. Not in a way that's . . . well, readable. Yet those same folks cringe at the thought of using a ghostwriter.

Why?

​Ego, for one - particularly when one is highly educated. "I was the editor of Harvard's Law Review," they'll say. Fantastic. That's a SUPER impressive tidbit to add to your bio, but it doesn't mean doody to most readers. They want a great story, article, ad, etc., not a legal analysis.

Another reason they don't like it is kind of silly: cost. As we mentioned with the commitment necessary for digital media marketing, writing - great writing - takes a certain commitment as well. It's not really the time commitment - not to one who writes consistently - it's the process. You're paying for the cumulative measure of their work.

So before you head over to a content mill in search of a great writer, consider the story of Picasso's napkin below.

The story of Picasso's napkin
Picasso was sitting in a Paris café when an admirer went up to him and asked if he would do a quick sketch for him on a paper napkin.

Picasso politely agreed, did a quick sketch  and handed back the napkin — but not before asking for a rather large amount of money. 

​The admirer was horrified: “How can you ask so much? It only took you a minute to draw this!” “No”, Picasso replied, “It took me 40 years.”
