How much does it cost to hire a ghostwriter?

Writing a good business book takes the average amateur writer between 1,000 and 2,000 hours.  Even worse, it takes three to forty years to get it done.  Using a financial ghostwriter means you’ll start touching those $ 50,000-a-year clients in a few months.

But what about the cost?

Asking a business ghostwriter that question is like a client asking how much you charge for a tax return.  It depends on how complicated the job is.  Since this is my ‘backyard.’ I will become your financial Ghostwriter at a fraction of what my competitors charge unless you buy the “Legacy Book” level of service.  That takes me around 600 hours to deliver. 

Here are the ranges for my work.

A.    The DYI model is to take a 40,000-word book I’ve already written and modify it to fit your needs.   The book is $3,500.  There are two add-ons. 1) Publishing, which means after you're done with your edits, we typeset,  cover art,  and get the ISBN done.  2) A professional editor will review your book line by line for errors in transitions, sentence structure and repetitive concepts at around $995 (if needed). 

B.     The Professional Book is our most popular service.  KC will interview you multiple times,  jointly work out an outline and then write your book over 30 to 90 days.  You will review and edit chapters as they are completed in collaboration with KC.  We will publish the book after an outside editor has examined the work.   We will get you 25 five-star reviews and get you on the Amazon best sellers list.   The investment is around $15,970.  $875 with the order,  $875 with the first four chapters, and 36 payments of $395.

This level of service includes 104 social media posts that link to an article on your website. At the end of one year,  start over and use the 104 posts again.  (Most writers charge $200 to $500 per article, but I include it.)   All posts lead back to your book, and request the client call you.

Then three years of support with monthly Zoom meetings with others in your industry (law, accounting, finance etc.) where we cover getting your book into the hands of grade “A” clients.  

The advertising you will post on social media to find leads with your book.

C.     The Legacy Book.  Our best work at $60,000, paid in 4 monthly installments of $15,000 each.   Six interviews with you and two with clients to ensure we get the book to match your needs.  I’ll write around  60,000 words.   Hard Cover with graphics.   This book is library quality, and we will get it distributed by all the major book wholesalers nationwide.   

The important point is that you should probably recover your investment in the first or second new client.  Then you’ll have your book for 30 – 100 years. Finance Ghostwriting is all I do,  so I have researched the most important topics already. 

It is possible to get a book done for a few thousand dollars.  A great book will be closer to what you see when you Google “How much does it cost to ghostwrite a book?”  Here is what you're going to find for a good book that touches grade “A” clients.

The average hourly fee for good ghostwriters is around $100.  Since all I do is write the same book repeatedly, I’ll be a fraction of the normal cost. On average, I write a chapter weekly and then send it to you for edits, additions and changes.  I’ll do about 90% of the work, but we want the book to sound like you.     

If you have been thinking about writing a book,  I can get it done in your name,  with your picture, title and stories.  You can be on Amazon in 30 to 90 days.

PS  There are a lot of Accounting ghostwriters and Financial ghostwriters on Fiver and Upwork.  They will advertise books as cheap as $500.  You will hate the work.   First, they do not know what they are talking about, and second, the syntax will be foreign to the American reader. 

 Our skill set is writing a book that will get your new clients.  It's all we do.
