Ed Gandia and Derek Lewis – Ghostwriting Secrets
Dear friend
Do you know why freelancing is so difficult?
It is not the work.
It is the challenge of bringing in enough income each month.
Let’s assume you need to make $50,000 per year. Let’s say your average project is worth around $2,000.
This means that you will need to work on approximately 25 projects per year to cover your bills.
Every other week, a new $2,000 project is launched!
Worse, this fight never ends!
Day and Night, you go full throttle. These projects get shoveled out the front door. You are always worried about what the next one will be.
Go back to the hunt. It’s time to bargain over the price. To chase down prospects who don’t return calls or emails. Now, worry about next month’s rent.
No wonder we are all stressed. and All the time exhausted
But what if you suddenly got a $25,000 job?
Imagine if you could earn half your target income from one project.
What would that do to your stress level?
What does that mean for your business?
What would it do for you and your family?
This is not a fantasy.
For my friend, this is daily reality and colleague, Derek Lewis.
Derek Experts can ghostwrite books and nonfiction authors.
He’s worked with client-Authors from five continents include a Texas oil tycoon and a Turkish economist. A millionaire IT-startup investor is also included. and a Cajun colonel.
His authors have worked with the International Monetary Fund and the US Marine Corps. and The Red Cross.
But don’t let that intimidate you. Derek People with large budgets don’t always have the opportunity to work on large projects.
In fact, he began his career 8 years ago just like many of us: in the trenches copywriting…chasing down job prospects on the online job boards… sweating over every cent and We pray that he has enough cash to pay the mortgage next month.
This is What I Love
About Derek’s Business
Are you up for it?
DerekGhostwriting a book takes an average of $3,000
$50,000 to $75,000 — And he assures me he’s nowhere NEAR the top!
Oh, and did I mention that he only has 2 to 3 clients per annum?
Yeah. Do the math.
He doesn’t chase down clients. They come to HIM!
Here’s the thing: Ghostwriting isn’t anything special or mysterious.
It doesn’t matter if you have contacts in publishing. It doesn’t matter if you happen to land a book. Ghostwriters aren’t a secret club that prevents authors from entering the business.
Anyone can actually hang a shingle. and Many people do. There are 500 of them. “ghostwriters” You can access it online at any time.
To be a serious and You must possess the following qualities to be a successful ghostwriter:
Good writing skills and a decent set of writing samples (they DON’T need to be book samples! It is fine to have regular copywriting samples.
A copywriting or writing business that is already in operation (or, in other words, clients you have). and You have been earning freelance income.
Time and This is not a way to get patience.-rich-Grab this opportunity quickly
Willingness to work hard (yes, it’s going to take some work to get this off the ground!)
Ah, the most important:
An experienced ghostwriter will show you how to do it.
Are YOU able to do all of these things?
This is probably the 4th.
But, I’d bet the farm you don’t have #5.

In a moment, I will tell you more.
First, you should hear the short version. Derek’s story … because it’s not what you’d expect.
Derek Lewis
Ed Gandia
From Copywriter to Ghostwriter
Derek He will be the first one to admit that he was a terrible copywriter.
Ghostwriting was actually his main reason for switching to it. The money was better. and The work was much easier.
He was not able to enjoy any success as a freelancer before he made that leap. Derek launched his copywriting business a little over 8 years ago…and He didn’t begin ghostwriting until seven years ago.
It was a struggle the first two years of his writing business. He didn’t know what he did. and He mostly operated from a wing and Prayer.
He found clients through the local paper…, Elance, his network — anywhere he could think of.
He was unable to price and manage projects. “scope creep,” How to budget. and You will need to know all the details in order to run a successful freelancing business.
It was tough.
His family was able to go an entire winter without heat, as the central unit went out. and They couldn’t afford the repair. They used space heaters at night in their bedrooms. and They bundled up for the day. This is because they live south Louisiana. It still gets cold there, but that’s not the point.
He stumbled upon a job as a freelancer to ghostwrite a book about business for someone. He offered his services. and Beat all 16 other competitors.
Derek Never ghostwritten a book. He charged far too much for his ignorance. (A mistake that he will make sure you don’t make.
BUT … he loved the work. He loved the change in pace. He also loved the possibility to add a book into his writing collection.
After managing a few ghostwriting jobs, he finally found a ghostwriter who accepted him as her student. and He was shown the ropes.
Moving fast to today…
Derek Book prices can be anywhere from $50,000 up to $75,000 He collaborates with many authors per year. And he has full control over his schedule (something many freelancers still don’t have!).
Can You Leverage Yourself
into $25,000+ Ghostwriting?
If you have…
A writing business
Writing skills that are solid
Here are some examples of decent writing
…then you have all you need to get started!
It’s missing a step-By-Step-by-step guide. That’s all you’ll find in this intensive workshop and Coaching group
Insider Secrets A 6-Figure Ghostwriter: How to Make A Great Living Writing Books For Experts and Nonfiction Authors
This is the best part…
Derek He is serious when he states that your first book ghostwriting project should start at $25,000
“Yeah, right,” I hear you saying, “Do the fees really start at $25,000?!”
It seems far away-fetched, doesn’t it? Although I have done a lot of copywriting projects over my career, I have never charged such a high fee. I have certainly earned this much from one client, over many projects over the course of my career.
But only for one project? Never.
This is the best part! Derek and He is not the only professional ghostwriter. There are many others.
I even asked him whether he would recommend newbies to lower their prices.-The first few projects should be balled. It’s all for them to get in the door.
“Absolutely not,” He stated.
“EdThis workshop targets freelancers who have established writing businesses. If they had absolutely zero experience…well, I’d tell them to go get some freelance writing experience first and Then come back and talk. Ghostwriting This is not for beginners.
“But if they’re already established freelance writers or copywriters with clients and a good set of clips, they have the goods — even if those clips are NOT ghostwritten books. So, no — the people who attend this workshop should absolutely start at $25,000 a book.”
I responded, “But Derek, the people I’m inviting aren’t ghostwriters. How can they prove to prospects that they can ghostwrite a book for them?”
His flips are my favorite.-The-The world-Upside-Answer:
“Ed, most non-writers don’t realize how much of a difference there is between copywriting and ghostwriting. All they know is that you’re a writer and you’re in business. For most potential ghostwriting clients, that’s enough to assume that you know what you’re doing.”
There are many other options to quickly reach $25,000
You can, for example, start the process by starting a few book editing projects, which pay very well, depending on your current position in your writing business. (That’s something Derek will show you how it’s done).
You can then use your experience as a jumping off point for a $25,000+ project.
However, the most important point to remember is that your first book gig should not be less than $25,000.
But are there really THAT many?
Is there a market for prospective clients?
That was my next question. Because there is so much copywriting to do, there are many copywriters. Is it really that many potential writers looking for this type of money?
Derek He guided me through all factors in the publishing business that influence the demand of ghostwriters (just like he will for you in the workshop). Factors such Kindles and Other e-Print technology advances are a boon for readers and Amazon… even the changing demographics and The world.
I won’t go into detail here. The short answer is yes. There is ample demand.
Many authors are aware they need a Ghostwriter, and will pay up to $25,000 to finally share their story. and ideas.
A survey by Jenkins Group found that 81% of American adults would like to write a book. That’s 198 million people … which sounds absurd!
But even if you narrow it down to the wealthiest 1% of that group, that’s still almost 2 million adults who have the financial resources AND the desire to make this lifelong dream a reality.
This is not for everyone. (And that’s what I mean.)
Let me start by repeating: This workshop and Coaching opportunity is not for everyone.
If you’re looking for a big win fast, this is NOT for you. It will take time to build a ghostwriting business. I’m not going to sit here and tell you that it’s going to be easy.
You really want to charge $25,000 for the first book project. But you’re NOT going to land that gig next week. Despite the fact that Derek You can cut down on years of trial and error from your learning curve, it’s going to take several months to get there.
In today’s “I want it now!” society, I know that’s not a very sexy proposition. But I’m just giving it to you straight.
Also, if you don’t already have some kind of writing business — or at least some kind of freelance business and some decent writing experience — you’re going to be at a serious disadvantage.
If that’s you, I respectfully ask that you pass on this opportunity.
This workshop will show you how to go from being a commercial writer into a ghostwriter. It’s important to do the right jumping-You must be at the right point to land on-target.
HOWEVER … if you are an established freelance writer, this could be the smartest investment you ever make in your business!
Ghostwriting Copywriting is a completely different business.
In some cases, you might even need a separate website to offer ghostwriting services. And you’ll be doing a very different kind of marketing to attract clients (mostly “attractive inbound marketing,” As opposed to “knocking on doors.”)
Derek When he began taking on ghostwriting clients, he didn’t know this. He had to learn many things the hard-way.
Even if his mentor had not taken him under her wing he would STILL be learning by trial and Instead of making a living, you can make an error.
You can do it! But you don’t need to take the difficult route.
The strategies, mindsets and tips you need to start your ghostwriting company will help you get started. and These tricks will help you to be more successful DerekHis mentor, his fellow ghostwriters and publishers, literary agents, and published authors were his teachers. and His own remarkable experience is a testament to his abilities.
That’s priceless.
“Thanks to Derek’s ghostwriting course, I successfully negotiated a $30,000 project—with half paid upfront! I found Derek to be concise, practical, and accessible. He generously shared examples from his own experiences to illustrate different aspects of the profession. His course gave me the information and encouragement I needed to launch my own ghostwriting career.”
Name Tracy Hume Greeley, Colorado
“I’m excited about what looks like a golden opportunity. We’ve already signed a simple letter of agreement and he’s sent the first month’s payment: $4,000 for a $48,000, twelve-month project! The entire negotiation was based on what I learned from last year’s ghostwriting course. You were a huge help in me presenting myself as an accomplished professional.”
Name Dr. Elaine Eldridge Seattle Washington
Professionally, I haven’t done much writing. and Ghostwriting is something I have never tried. It is a joy. The course gave me confidence to go out on my own and helped me understand how to structure the process. and How contracts work and Pricing work. I was able to negotiate my name being on the cover. and You must pay upfront. Pricing is always the most difficult aspect of a new venture. But, after the course, I took a deep breathe and realized that it was possible to price the course. and It was requested.
