Forget the Noise — Focus on These 3 Ghostwriting Pillars to Win
Ghostwriting can be overwhelming when you’re trying to figure out where to start or how to level up. The key is to ignore all the noise and focus on the fundamentals. By mastering Targeting, Offer, and Delivery, you’ll lay the groundwork for a business that thrives.
Pillar 1: Targeting — Speak to the Right People
Trying to please everyone? Stop. The most successful ghostwriters focus on a specific audience and solve a specific problem. This clarity not only attracts the right clients but also helps you stand out in a crowded field.
Ask Yourself:
- Who is your dream client?
- What’s their biggest challenge, and how do you solve it?
- Is this focus clear in your branding and messaging?
Example: Instead of saying, “I’m a ghostwriter,” try:
“I help startup founders create compelling personal brand stories that attract investors.”
When you get specific, clients can instantly see how you fit their needs.
Pillar 2: Offer — Sell Solutions, Not Tasks
Your offer isn’t just a list of things you can do — it’s a promise to solve your client’s problem. The clearer and more results-oriented your offer is, the more likely clients are to hire you.
Ask Yourself:
- Does my offer solve a clear problem?
- Am I framing my work around outcomes instead of tasks?
- Is my pitch easy to understand and compelling?
Example: Don’t just say, “I write blogs.” Say:
“I help SaaS founders turn complex ideas into engaging blog posts that boost their authority and drive traffic.”
This shift focuses on what your clients want: results.
Pillar 3: Delivery — Make Every Client a Raving Fan
Winning a client is just the start. The real magic lies in how you deliver. A seamless process and clear communication show professionalism and keep clients coming back.
Ask Yourself:
- Do I have a structured workflow clients can follow?
- How do I make feedback simple and efficient?
- Am I keeping clients updated without them needing to ask?
Example: Create a shared timeline or workspace (like Google Docs) where clients can see progress, comment on drafts, and stay involved. This small step makes you look like a pro and reduces misunderstandings.
