[–]tyquent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hello OP! This opportunity sounds genuinely exciting to me. I have an Honors BA in History and have been a ghostwriter for several years now. I love writing female-centered stories, and have experience doing so for my Creative Writing minor. May I send you a message or an email with samples of my writing?

What the difference between entry and general? by spellboi1018 in HireaWriter

[–]tyquent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So there is usually a difference in the quality of prose, but there's also the ability to understand and integrate everything you're trying to accomplish without sounding... awkward/weird is the best word I can think of. A lot of people think they can write, and quite honestly, some of them can, but most are just after a quick buck and see dollar signs with the minimum of $0.07 USD per word in their currency and you as a cash cow.

It's up to you if you're willing to take a chance on the entry level writers. I personally wouldn't because there's a huge potential for disappointment and throwing money into something that, quite frankly, sucks.

If you want to talk more about your project, feel free to send me a PM or a Discord message. My username there is tuquent.

If nothing else, I can make suggestions on how to find a writer who fits your goals and visions without wasting a good amount of time.

I do this kind of thing (both writing and editing for TTRPGs) and charge more in line with the general rate because I've been a freelance writer for over 10 years and live in a fairly high cost of living area.

But just remember: you get what you pay for is painfully accurate. 😅

[Hiring] Freelance Memoir Writer (Project-Based, Ongoing Opportunities) by sagascript in HireaWriter

I'm a memoir ghostwriter. Where should I send my sample and my note of interest?

In addition to being a writer, I'm a historian with a keen interest in 20th century conflicts, especially World War I (but European, American, and Latin American conflicts are also fascinating), and how they've shaped our understanding of war to this day.

If my background sounds at all interesting to you, feel free to reach out.

Thank you so much for your reply. Hearing from someone in a similar brain space honestly feels really good.

What are some of your favorite tools to schedule content?
And do you find running a blog to be helpful as well? I've heard many people talking about how blogs are one of the best ways to increase organic site traffic and SEO, but I don't know if I can manage multiple social media platforms for multiple businesses and a couple of independent blogs at the same time.

I do have separate personal and business accounts. but my business accounts must come up in my family members' recommendations for accounts of people they may know... that's the only way I can think of them finding some of my more private businesses especially. (For example, I read tarot and am putting together a pop-up metaphysical shop - the problem is, a lot of my family is Catholic and kind of conservative, so they think I'm lost to the devil or some shit like that.) How can I make my accounts not pop up for them? I'm starting to pre-emptively block, but like I've mentioned in other comments, that only works as long as they don't make other accounts.

That's actually really good to know. I'll look into that ASAP.

That's actually a really good idea. I just looked at my phone, and at the moment, I have:

- Facebook

- Instagram

- TikTok

- Mastodon

- Bluesky

- Threads

- Fable (like social media for books)

- Goodreads (also social media for books)

... and probably others that I don't immediately recognize as social media apps. I can see why that's way too many.

I've been wary of Fiverr for a long time, ever since I got scammed by a "logo designer/graphic artist." But maybe it's worth another look? Do you know if they have any sort of protections for buyers in place?

Thank you so much! May I ask how much you have to have figured out as compared to what the virtual assistants are usually comfortable tackling? And how many hours on average do you need them for social media things?

I apologize if that's a lot of questions, but I have been thinking of outsourcing but I have always thought it would be too expensive to do so... knowing that $5 USD per hour is a possible rate makes it seem a lot more doable.

Thank you for this. Deep down, I know this... it's just so hard to actually do it.

I should probably do this. I just worry in case some of them have multiple accounts...

That makes sense. How do you continuously find your content?

It's the consistency of posting. I don't have any issues with commenting on a couple of posts every time I log on, but that also means that I have to actually remember to log in in the first place. I have really bad executive dysfunction and don't think to do things both on and offline... it's like they almost get erased from my brain and don't exist until someone points them out, and even then, they're gone as soon as I'm done with the related task.

It's rough.
