A Ghost Blogger? Sounds kind of exciting. Almost transparent, huh? Not quite.
In reality, a ghost blogger is made of flesh, bones, and impeccable grammar (hopefully, anyway), and sits at a desk. At NeedSomeoneToBlog.com, that desk is wood (for proverbial knocking) and covered with post-it notes and lists more often than not. Definitely a visible desk and ghost blogger!
Ghost Blogger Secrets!
What, if any, glimpses of ghost blogging genius can be detected in the picture above?
Well, some basic tools of the trade to start. If you look closely you will see not only a mac and a p.c., but varying screen sizes on each.
As a blogger, this is a must have as each blog post can look different on varying web platforms and screens. While browsers allow you to change screen viewing size, it’s much more convenient to actually test each post on the different technology options, from mac, p.c., iphone, and tablet to larger screen sizes. Overkill? Maybe, but you’ll be grateful for the blog quality control it provides from your ghost blogger.
Ghost Blogging Develops YOU as an Authority
Your ghost blogger needs to be dedicated to your success, this means that they care about more than just the keywords or text being posted on your website. They want to make sure you search engine optimize your site on multiple levels, not just the by using keywords on your text. They also must care about the images, headlines, links and videos linked to each post. This care will be seen as your blogger notices and FIXES cross-browser issues and formatting problems on each post. Thus, the need for multiple screens and computing platforms is a requirement for any expert ghost blogger.
Another tool that you can’t see in the picture, but is very tangible – is a hotspot. A hotspot is the connection your ghost blogger has to the internet – wherever they may be physically. At NeedSomeoneToBlog.com, we believe that ghost bloggers need hotspots, not just wifi. This may seem unnecessary, however, if you’ve ever had something posted to your website incorrectly, you know that it can be critical. When you hire a blogger, you need access to make blog post changes when YOU want to, not when it’s convenient for your freelancer. With a hotspot connection, your blogger can provide easy accessibility and corrections on your schedule, according to your needs, another key to helping you search engine optimize your site.
Good ghost bloggers develop a rhythm in posting and in part adopt your identity or even multiple identities, if needed for your website. As such, keeping track of your favorites and preferences is essential. While NeedSomeoneToBlog does do this electronically, each blogger also maintains a hard copy file as well, pictured on the desk. This is another must-do, as without a clear understanding of who you are and your product, blog posts could easily become stale or generic, defeating your reason to hire a ghost blogger in the first place!
At NeedSomeoneToBlog.com, we carefully interview you before starting any blogging and even ask personal information (post-it notes in hand) to be able to truly write for you, as you. We are invested in your business and will brainstorm and suggest possible blog topics and ideas. However you always get the final say, as content authority and editor in chief of your own website, unless you prefer to have us search engine optimize your site, so you don’t have to think about it and can focus on building your business.
