Do You Use Contracts And Agreements For Your Ghostwriting Projects?
By admin | October 14, 2007
When it comes to ghostwriting projects contracts and agreements are something that many of us overlook. Having a signed contract or agreement with your client not only gives you peace of mind and ensures payment but it also shows a sign of professionalism.
If you work via the marketplaces and bid on ghostwriting jobs you tend to forget about such things as contracts and many writers assume that payment is a foregone conclusion. Unfortunately for some writers not being paid for their work is something that actually does happen. This is why most ghostwriting marketplaces have introduced escrow payments.
When bidding on a project try to insist on escrow as a means of payment and be sure to state that work will not being until funds have been placed in the escrow account. This is a little extra piece of security on your part.
In relation to contracts and agreements these are something that you should really get into the habit of using especially if you have private clients. You can view some sample contracts and agreements on Elance’s help section. Again these are just samples and you can revise them to suit your specific needs.
My tip for today - be professional and use contracts and agreements.
