Here's something every web content writer should try - take a hundred dollars or so and hire a couple of other writers to do articles for you.
Be a buyer instead of provider.
Give them keyword requirements and a deadline.
I guarantee that this will treat you some valuable things about how you should treat your clients.
One writer will communicate well with you and deliver high quality content on time.
Another will totally ignore your keyword requirements and then tell you that their dog ate their hard drive.
One writer might have a tree fall on their house on the due date, and another might tell you that they've been thinking about it and web content writing's just not for them.
The lesson is that your best asset as a ghostwriter is reliability.
Clients need to know that they can trust you.
They have to trust completely that you do quality work and you'll get it to them when they need it.
I tried this experiment recently and here are the lessons I learned: Meet Deadlines Or Let Them Know Your clients will probably be cool with it if you're a day or two late, but only if you let them know that.
The last thing you ever want to do is make them worry.
If they're wondering what you're doing and where they're content is, they probably won't want to work with you again.
It psychologically scars them and they associate your name with staying up nights wondering where their content is.
If You Don't Understand Keyword Requirements, Clarify Sometimes keyword requirements are ridiculously detailed and complicated.
If you're unsure about them, ask the client.
If they use one of those fancy SEO terms that you don't understand, ask them to clarify or do a Google search and find out what the heck it means.
If a client is annoyed with you for wanting to clarify something, they are an idiot.
Ask For Feedback It never hurts to ask for feedback, especially after the first batch.
When I did my "experiment," I figured it was a waste of time to give them feedback.
Now, I think that was a mistake.
Feedback's really valuable and we web content writers never get enough of it.
If you're going to have a long-term relationship going with this client, this is especially important.
If you take care of your clients, they'll give you steady work for years.
Even better, they'll tell all of their internet marketer friends about you.
This is what you should be aiming for.
When a marketer asks their friend, "Know any good writers?" and your name comes up, they won't be able to resist.
It's really simple - deliver consistent quality work and don't make them worry.
Be clear on everything so that they know what to expect, and then deliver it to them.
They'll tell others about you.
The web is full of flaky, half-literate web content writers, so if you're good and reliable, you'll do well!
