Article Marketing Tip: How To Teach A Ghost Writer To Write In Your Own Style

When you're doing article submissions for article marketing it's always an option to outsource your writing to a professional ghost writer who will create unique, high quality articles for you.

But what if you want to write some of your articles yourself and supplement them with articles from a ghost writer? You might be wondering if you should be concerned about matching the writing styles. Should you be worried that someone would be able to tell that all the articles weren't written by you?

There's probably not much cause to be concerned about matching styles. Most of the time, readers will not see more than one of your articles at a time, so there's not much opportunity for comparison.

With that said though, if your really want to have a writer who "sounds like you", there are some things that you can do. Here are some article marketing tips to help you find a quality writer and teach him or her to write in your style.

What To Look For In A Good Ghostwriter:

Your first order of business is to find a writer. There are tons of very talented writers who offer their services for hire, so you want to hold out for one that is a skilled writer. Here's what to look for when hiring a writer:

1-Your writer should be a native English speaker.

2-Your writer should write well, using proper grammar and spelling.

3-Your writer should be able to research your topic and write intelligent articles on your topic.

4 - Your writer should produce unique articles that cannot be found elsewhere.

5-Most high quality writers should be able to write on a variety of topics, but if you have a niche that is especially complicated, you might specify that you have a preference for someone who has experience in your field.

6-You would be surprised at the level of education you can find in many writers who are freelancing. You may not want to require this, but you can state that writers with a college degree are preferred. A degree in English would be ideal.

7-Above all, stay away from budget services that offer articles on the cheap, say an article for $5. You really get what you pay for. Be willing to invest in a skilled writer who you can work with over the long term.

How Can You Teach A Writer To Write In Your Style?

*Show your writer a some samples of your own work. Most writers should be able to get a feel for your personality and your writing style by reading several pieces that you've already written.

*Also, try having a phone conversation with your writer. Just talking on the phone can give your writer a good impression of the way that you talk, your speech patterns, and conversational idiosyncrasies that can then be worked into the writing that he does for you.

Here are some things to keep in mind:

The writing styles don't have to match exactly--as long as they don't contradict each other there should be no noticeable difference. If you're very upbeat and friendly, you don't want a writer who comes across as sarcastic and clinical in his writing.

Most professional writers should be able to write in a neutral sounding voice--professional, easy-to-understand, and helpful. You might not think they sound exactly like you, but your average reader probably wouldn't be able to tell any difference.

Really, the thing that most people remember is the quality of the article, how helpful it was to them, and how easy it was to read. If all the articles that are submitted under your name are that type of article, then that is what people will remember, and it will reflect well on you.
