Step-by-step action plan
  • Define one ideal customer and the specific result they should get from Ghostwriting.
  • Interview five potential customers and note the exact words they use to describe the problem.
  • Create a one-sentence starter offer: write posts and books for founders.
  • Build the smallest useful sample or demo you can show before asking for payment.
  • Set a starter price, a clear delivery window and one simple way for customers to pay.
  • Contact 20 qualified prospects with a personalized message and a link to the sample.
  • Deliver the first order manually, ask for a testimonial and document every repeatable step.
  • Review replies, sales and delivery time each week; improve the weakest stage before adding more channels.
