My guest today is celebrity ghostwriter Joshua Lisec.
Joshua has ghostwritten over forty books for entrepreneurs, and he’s here today to share how side hustlers can turn their books into opportunity-attractors and money-makers for their business… all while slaying writer's block for life.
Today we’re talking about:
- Joshua’s journey to becoming a celebrity ghostwriter, from charging just $1.67 an hour to being on track for a half-million dollars in revenue.
- His secret to ending writer’s block.
- Why you don’t need clarity on every aspect of your side hustle (and what to do instead).
- How a book can help you grow your business.
- Key things authors need on their websites.
- How you can get people to buy your book.
- Josua’s advice for how to get started as a ghostwriter.
- Challenges Joshua experience in his business and how he’s overcome them.
- Exactly how he made sure he stood out from all the other freelance writers out there.
- Joshua’s advice for getting traction in your side hustle.
- The belief Joshua had to change about himself to get where he is today.
My favorite quotes from Joshua:
- “We all have to start somewhere, what matters is that you start.”
- “I think of ghostwriting as acting in print. It’s my job to portray the authentic you on the page.”
- Ask yourself “What problems do you like to solve?”
- “Think of yourself as a long term trusted partner to each of your clients.”
