The Gray Ghostwriter is on the air...

Hello, everyone.  This blog will serve as a blog, sample page, and business page for my own ghostwriting.  This is a career change for me, and I look forward to having a lot of fun on the way.  

In particular, I intend to ghostwrite articles and ebooks for internet marketers.  It's a great way to learn more.  For the last two or three years, I have participated in a lot of blogs and user groups.  I realized that I was spending at least three hours a day providing content for others, and I was doing it free.  

There was no pay per word, and no cut of the adwords and banner ads on the sites for which I created content: only the satisfaction of being part of a "community."  Every month or so, someone would ask me if I was a professional writer.  I would always tell them "no."  I used to tutor in the writing lab in college, but that was about as professional as I ever got. 

Then came the collapse of the economy and the internet marketing boom.  Internet Marketers made tons of money without really doing a lot, just by knowing what to do.  This didn't last long, though, because anything that is "too good to be true" eventually becomes just that: too good to be true.  The market got competitive, and many developled shortcuts.  

Two that became popular were autoblogging and spam articles packed with keyword density among severely fractured syntax.  Some "articles" didn't even have full sentences: just keywords and related keywords crammed into a box.  

Finally, Google has decided to do something about it.  They have found a way to "google-slap" autoblogs and spam.  So, once again, if someone wants to use articles or blogs for SEO, they have to provide good content.  

That is where I come in.  It's been a long time since I have "ghostwritten" A-quality term papers for people who were "more educated" than I, but the love of the language and the "irritating grammar police" gene never truly leave someone once they are there.  

And really, that is what an IM article is: a very small term paper, written to a predetermined keyword density.  Some people are content to write or purchase C-quality term papers.  But some know that their reputation, no matter what "character" they are portraying on the internet, is  worth a lot more when they come off as intelligent and able to communicate in a professional manner.  

I am here to help you do just that.
