Blogging is
such a normal online activity nowadays. A lot of people now have their own
blogs and it has become one of the ways to make money online. However,
maintaining your own blog can be tedious and time-consuming especially if you
have work, family, and other matters to attend to everyday. This is the reason
why some bloggers get someone who can blog for them in their place.
People who
offer such services are called ghost bloggers or ghost writers. Guest blogging
arrangements can range from a single post to more regular postings. While some
may frown upon this practice, it is a great way to earn money from home, both
for the blogger and the guest blogger. Below are some reasons to become a ghost
blogger.
A lot of earning opportunities. A
growing number of bloggers have come to accept the idea of having someone else
blog for them. Not everyone can easily
churn out posts after posts every week and getting someone to blog a post or
two can help them take a break from time to time. More bloggers accepting of this
practice means that as a guest blogger, you can have more opportunities to
earn!
Good pay. If you are an online
writer, ghost blogging often commands higher pay simply because the bloggers
are also buying the right to your whole post or article. This means that as a
ghost blogger, you are surrendering all your rights to the piece once you hand
it over to the blogger.
No blog to maintain. If blogging
appeals to you just because you like to write but you abhor the idea of
maintaining a blog, then ghost blogging might be the option for you. Ghost
blogging allows you the creativity and writing outlet without the permanence
and hassles of having and maintaining a blog.
Write about a variety of topics. Most
of the time, having your own blog means focusing on one or a few topics only.
This limits your versatility in terms of topics that you want to write about
unless you maintain several blogs as well. Although it is definitely an option
to write just anything you want because it is your blog anyway, ghost blogging
for blogs in various niches can help open you up more to a wide variety of
topics, not to mention let you learn more about the different blogs’ topics.
