Hoping there's still enough people around doing this, as I could do with a little help. I've been all through this thread, and one thing people keep close to their chests is how they found ghostwriters (other than where), understandable I guess. Admittedly I've only been advertising for around 4 days, but I'm itching to get this ball rolling, and haven't received any good legit applicants. Below is the template I'm using for all my genres (obviously I change it where needed) to try and find writers on Odesk, it could turn out I just need to wait a bit longer, or make my budget larger, but any help would be greatly appreciated.

SUBJECT LINE- Short Sci-Fi Story

This job will be an 8,000-10,000 word sci-fi short story, that will be the first in an ongoing series. So future work, and potentially a long term partnership, is possible in exchange for quality work.

What we're looking for-

1. Native English speakers only.

2. Preferably someone who is passionate and knowledgeable about sci-fi.

3. Previous sci-fi writing experience (some samples will be needed).

4. Writers who can truly immerse the reader.

5. Well written and proof read- No spelling/grammatical mistakes.

6. Punctual with agreed upon deadlines (fast turnaround is preferred).

7. Work must be 100% unique material. Has to pass copyscape (payment will not be issued for plagiarized work).

8. Good communication.

9. Ability to make any changes, if needed, to the work.

The plot, open/close, setting, protagonists and antagonists are all worked out. You just need to bring it to life with your creative writing skills.

Please reply with the words "Galaxy" in the subject line so we can confirm you are not a bot.

Please provide samples of your writing, including sci-fi work, to be considered. We look forward to working with you, and developing an ongoing relationship.

THIS IS A WORK FOR HIRE SITUATION- By applying/accepting this job you agree to this and agree that you will own no rights to the work or any part of it. You also understand/agree that your name will not appear anywhere on/in the the work.

You should probably be better off posting your project on odesk or some place like that.

I don't know if only 1 review will increase your sales. But try it and make experiences - you have nothing to lose! You can also optimize your keywords (in the book description, title and so on). Create a author page. Link to your other books on page 1 (eg. with banner ads) and so on. Everything must look clean and high quality. But read the "WSO Kindle Money Mastery" first (it's available for free in this forum).

Generally i think that fiction writing is harder than non fichtion writing. I think you can just be successfull with fiction books if you write more and more books. Your pseudonym has to become a brand. That's my opinion.

Short update of my journey:
Since yesterday I have 5 Books out there. 4 cheap books and 1 expensive book (which includes the 4 cheap books). I sold 330 books since I start (1st may). I hope I can reach the 50$/day on this weekend.

That sounds nice for 5 books (~20 days of work) but believe me that this was fucking hard work and I feel like dead for now. I have two competitors in my niche who also have up to 10 books in this niche. One of them noticed me a few days ago and dropped the prices of his books. That's bad because he has many reviews. I just compete with my lower prices. I'm scared a little bit and don't know what happens the next days.

I read the -Kindle Money Mastery Tutorial- last month and published my first book on may 1st. Now after 20 days I have 4 books and a daily income of ~30-40$. Thats the averade. Yesterday I made 55$.

I write all books by myself (60-80 pages), gave just 1 review each book, made NO marketing (not twitter, websites and so on).

On the beginning It was just the test. I never thought that it's so easy. My plan ist to produce 10 more books in my niche and try to outsource the writing because it is hard work. I hope I can reach a passive income of 70$/day next month.


In the past 3 years I made a lot of money with YouTube. But its a greyzone and it is not safe. But with this kindle method you create your own products/content and have the chance to start a serous business without any investments. Thats impressive.

I wonder why the youtube-threads are booming ...and the kindle-section is dead?!? Maybe YouTube is the more faster way to make money but Kindle is better in the long term. Even if the books are not bought in futur ....its your procuct...your content ...and you will be abel to monetize it in that way you want (audiobooks, Videos, Websites and so on).

So the titel of this thread is true...kindle is the fucking ticket, guys!

I've got a question. If I price my new ebook at 1,99$ for a couple month to increase sales and therefore increase reviews and then change the price to 4,99$ for example. Will Amazon delete my reviews? Maybe a reviews goes like 'worth buying for that price' but that person bought the ebook for 1,99$.
What do you guys think???
