Although I have not experienced a complete shutdown of my internet-based ghostwriting business, there is sure evidence that the pandemic has impacted the business of those I write for. As an example, one regular client of mine based in Australia has indicated that during the months since the coronavirus was identified as a pandemic, he has shifted his focus onto websites where he is selling products as opposed to working for clients developing websites. I get a lot of my business from web developers who require new or fresh content as they either build or rebuild web pages. Another client of mine, based in the UK, has been working a great deal on video services which has pulled him away from web development projects. These are just two examples I am aware of. Thankfully I have several more clients I work for.
The Numbers Show A Steady Dip
I completed a total of 17 jobs in November 2020. That's down slightly from 20 in October and quite a bit off from the 27 jobs I had in September. This past month I wrote 44 articles for 31,400 words. In October 2020 it was 49 articles and 47,500 words. In September 2020 it was 110 articles and 53,925 words. I did see a slight increase, percentage-wise of work coming from Fiverr this past month with 7 jobs. That compares to 8 the previous month. I also picked up a job from Upwork in November. I decided one night to check out some of the job listings there and submitted two proposals. One was accepted and I got a writing gig out of it. However, I'm having issues claiming my payment through that platform and may not use it again. At least getting paid from Fiverr is easy.
Where My Work Came From/What I Wrote About
November saw me pick up work from clients based in just four different countries in the world, which was a little unusual for me. Typically I see business from all over the globe. This time around the majority of jobs (nine, to be exact) were from the United Kingdom, five came from the United States, two from Canada, and one from Ireland. I don't think I've worked for more than just a couple of clients in Ireland so it was nice to see that country pop up on my list this time around. As for topics, I wrote about music, data recovery services, online sports betting, landing pages for three different services, collectibles, data loggers, gift-giving, and SEO.
December Is Off To A Good Start
As I am writing this on the last day of November, I can tell you that I already have a couple of jobs lined up for December. I plan to keep my writing schedule as consistent as possible during the month. Although that may change as I am still waiting to hear on at least two medical appointments that will involve trips out of town. I am currently still writing what I call "half-days" Monday through Saturday where I work from 9AM to about 1PM, with a short lunch break. Some days I will work to 3PM to finish projects that are time-sensitive. I also take work outside of the platforms I usually use to get contacts. For example, if you are a web developer looking for a content writer, I spend most of my time writing blogs but I also do other things. To find out my rates and other details, you can email me at [email protected].
In Conclusion
Although 2020 has been a difficult year for businesses of all kinds, I have managed to stay busy with my ghostwriting business. To find out what I'm writing about today, give my Facebook Page a LIKE and you will be able to follow my daily schedule.
