“I can’t go back to school for a Master’s degree.”

“I don’t want to go back to school for a Master’s degree.  I already have one of those which is 100% unmarketable.”

“There must be a career that doesn’t require a Master’s degree.”

“Getting a Master’s degree would put me in six-figure debt.”

Daily, that’s what the restless, underemployed, underemployed and just plain bored tell me.  They want to know how to launch a career path w/o another degree.  They also need it to pay enough to keep the wolf from the door and more.

Ghostwriting.  That’s what I suggest.  That’s one stream of income for me.  Doing one book for one client can bring in anywhere from $10,000 to $100,000, plus possible royalties.  Not too shabby.  There’s also the thrill of taking on another person’s professional identity.  The greatest compliment is: That sounds just like me.

To become a ghostwriter all I needed was a seminar in the fundamentals.  Then it was practice practice practice.  We ghostwriters are our portfolios, skills, contacts, and outcomes for clients or employers.

“So, how do I break in?”

There is now an online program which even provides certification in ghostwriting.  As for in-person training, click here. A useful read is “Secrets of a Ghostwriter,” 2nd. edition, by Claudia Suzanne, published by WCPublishing.
