Ghostblogger.net Review

Every so often I will continue the tradition here are Goldrush by posting a review of a particular money making site or activity on the internet. Usually, they will be sites or sources which I have personally tried and/or am planning to use in the future.

Today's review is of a relatively new start-up called Ghostbloggers.net. Similar to sites such as Constant Content, Ghostbloggers is geared specifically towards the blog segment of the market. While still technically in "Beta" stage, the site is fully functional and has steady core of repeat buyers. The site has been featured by KillerStartups, Trends, and other sites the track promising new online ventures.

The first thing to do after registering at the site is to check out the list of requested topics to write on. It is publically displayed for all to read. Frequently, repeat buyers will use the same writer over and over again. Although the site attempts to limit "poaching" (buyers dealing independently with the writer after discovering them on the site), it is not impossible to turn a gig at Ghostbloggers into a permanent relationship outside of the confines of the site (usernames tend to be the same across the web, after all). The descriptions of article requests are specific enough to give the writer some direction without being overly constraining. If your article is not immediately chosen by the intended buyer, you can always leave it on the market for others to purchase.

The revenue sharing part of the site is perhaps the alluring aspect for aspiring writers. At $3.50 per every 100 words, Ghostbloggers represents a far more "decent" payout ratio for writers than other sites such as Textbroker. Because of the better compensation, the articles tend to be of much better quality than most other sites.

My Experience

I am aware of a number of professional bloggers who are very successful and use Ghostbloggers for a good portion of their freelance. Personally, I have uploaded two articles as of today, both of which are still under review (having uploaded them within the last 24hrs). I will certainly keep readers updated when/if they are purchases. The best part about Ghostbloggers is that it is a site I would personally use both to sell blog posts and to buy blog posts. That is the type of site which inspires confidence! Yes, the articles tend to be a bit more pricey, but if you are running a professional blog (or want to be treated seriously), poor content - if cheaper - will not build long term viewership.

Overall I give Ghostbloggers an A- rating. My one complaint is that they could put more effort into driving buyers to the site, as well as overall users.
