How To Hire a Professional Ghostwriter Through Upwork (Amazon KDP)

[@DaneMcBeth]

Do you prefer hiring freelancers through Upwork or going directly through ghostwriting companies? 🤔

[@ArsalanKhan-jf9jv]

I don’t have much experience with a lot of companies but try Writers of the West they do real good job

[@ArsalanKhan-jf9jv]

Did tried through upwork but even the professional writers were not as great but the I found Writers of the West they were incredible and much easier to deal with.. what are your thoughts on Writers if the West??

[@francislobo2129]

Writers of the West are Houston based my cousin works with them on and off. so I'd say they're reliable

Hello Dane! Thank you for such a detailed and informative video, this information is precious. I am just taking my first steps in KDP and am currently at the stage of finding and hiring a writer for my first book. Could you let me know when and how you sign a contract with the writer stating that all copyright belongs to you and that they are not allowed to use this material for another client?

High quality information dane, thank you!!

[@DaneMcBeth]

Happy to hear it was useful for you, thanks for the support!

Thanks for the vid! So once its written what are you doing about pictures, diagrams, etc? I’m writing a piano instructional books but run into issues when being able to properly draw images that match the explanations. What are your thoughts?

[@DaneMcBeth]

Hey Sherman! Thanks for the support. When it comes to situations like these, usually the ghostwriter I hire will be able to add in stock images where need be. However, I understand that sometimes it can be hard to find the EXACT image you need for a certain situation. In this case, it's usually your best bet to hire an illustrator off of a site like Upwork to create images for you. Generally speaking, I've been able to find illustrators for around $2 to $4 per black and white image.

I'm thinking to get my book written . I have a lot of creative ideas . I have a lot of imagination. Which one I should hire ? I'm doing a full time job. I want to come to writing business but too busy . For now I fan just give ideas to the writer

[@funmilayobisola6906]

How many words are your books? Average

[@DaneMcBeth]

20k to 30k words

[@oliviahenry4484]

@@DaneMcBeth how many pages would that be?

[@lisaeadesauthorandartist]

@@oliviahenry4484 I know your comment was ages ago, but 26k words is about 100 pages with 12 font Times New Roman.

[@bob1784free]

A bit low on detail. Basically just going through the hiring process without the hard bit like definition, assessment and managing the authorship.

[@davidyork2020]

Cute!

[@DaneMcBeth]

Interesting take!

[@David-fv7zg]

I despise ghost writing, someone else's work and you put your name on it. Why not have them write it, put their name on it and sell the book.

[@travv88]

lol

[@s.c7639]

Your books your books. Man up and write your own if you want to talk to writers

[@lindarockower6028]

All due respect, but your pay rate is terribly low. You are a darling for admitting it, though. Couldn't help but notice Michael W, who you considered, had bid $1,200 for the job. Also, the last woman that you were so stoked about posted that she typically got $35.00 an hour for her work. That means under normal circumstances, she charges $280.00 for each 8-hour day. In that scenario, your $500.00 wouldn't' even buy a full 2 days' worth of work from her. She must have been out of her mind to accept $500.00 for 30,000 words.

[@funmilayobisola6906]

As someone that is just starting out, I think I would take that pay. I haven't earned that much before whether it be ghostwriting or writing for myself
