Have you thought of hiring a business ghostwriter? Or perhaps you’re a writer considering this path.
A business ghostwriter is often industry-specific.
After 30-plus years in the health care and employee benefits industry, I kind of fell into ghostwriting.
When I use the term ghostwriting, I’m referring to industry articles, business blog posts, ebooks or documents that have my client’s name in the byline.
Frankly, I was surprised I was okay with that. After all, I do have a healthy ego.
What I found is I love ghostwriting.
- I learn new ideas
- I share passions
- I convert passion into words
Being willing to accept your client’s name on the byline barely scratches the surface of a good business ghostwriter. There are other traits found in a good business ghostwriter.
Good Business Ghostwriter
Recently, I shared a previous ghostwriting post with writer friend, Paula Hendrickson.
I decided to create a visual version of the post, What the Best Ghostwriters Do To Be the Best.
Let me know what you think.

Well said… as a fellow ghost I think it’s my ear, writing by ear as you say, that makes it work so well.
I agree, Anne. The listening part is probably the most important part. Not only what’s being said but how it’s being said.
Thanks for stopping by, Anne.
I can’t believe I was mentioned in your blog post!
I’d like to believe I possess all five of those traits — plus a good ear, like Anne. So the next hurdle is finding clients to help.
I always give credit to my inspiration, Paula. If this boomer brain can remember who it was. 😀
About the same rules that apply to those of us who provide CEO, COO, and CFO services for hire…
Your “deck” sets the stage!
Good point, Roy. I would say the magic in the ghostwriter is the ability to put on the suit of the client and own it – using their words and passion in the writing.
Thanks for stopping by, Roy.
