Referrals are always the best way; I get 80% of my clients through referrals from former clients or literary agents. Of course, that necessitates having clients refer you. So my advice is as follows: Join worthwhile professional directories like LinkedIn Profinder and Reedsy. Save your time with bid sites like Upwork. They’re always a race to the bottom for fees. Create an excellent website for yourself as a ghostwriter. That’s your brand. Get business cards that say you’re a ghostwriter if you don’t have them. Network with groups more likely than average to look for ghosts: business groups, CEOs, coaches, speakers, medical and financial professionals, etc., All the above mentioned are included in ghostwriters for hire.
