Ghost writers do make money though they don't get the credit for their work. Many people have a negative feeling about ghost writing. They feel that their creativity is just abused and they are just paid for the work with no say of what actually should go in their piece( be it an article, speech, book etc) or not even having the credit for their creative work. Well, that's the truth. You get the good upfront payment and that's it. You can't bask in the glory if your creativity earns fame for someone else.
If we go to any freelance sites ( Upwork, Fiverr , Guru), we do get a list of ghost writing jobs listed there. Next time when you feel that you can do justice to them , just grab it.
Ghost writing definitely comes with less things to worry about.
1. What to write....Well, any writer would admit that choosing the topic is the toughest part of writing work. With ghost writing you are assigned that. So, takes away a load from your head.
2. Worrying about the success and pay later..You need to earn from your writing. And many a times, your written piece might not be a hit. But if it's a ghost writing, you get an upfront payment as per the agreement. You need not worry about anything else.
3. No worries about promotion...you would agree that a lot of energy goes in promoting your written work. You have to get the readers and the viewership. You don't need to worry about those once you are done with your ghost writing project. Promotion and getting the audience becomes the job of the client that you have worked for.

While Ghostwriting might be an easier way to earn as a writer as you can receive payment once you complete a job, giving away your copyrights come with a huge price. You might easily earn $100-$200 by writing an ebook for a client and you can make that money just in a few days but wouldn't you make more with the same ebook if you had published it on your byline? Well, you will have to do marketing and struggle to sell the book but nothing in this world comes easily and you will have to work hard to generate income
