Lori, have I mentioned that I absolutely LOVE these, "This job, not that one" posts? They're so darned effective. I already practice what you preach on this front, but if more of our colleagues did, too, we'd all be making more money.

I suspect so too, Anne.

Same here, Paula. Why mention ghost writer at all? Doesn't seem to apply, except as you've interpreted it.

Hey, if they 50 goats, at least your new business could be making fresh goat cheese.

Along with that eye-bleeder masquerading as a sentence, my favorite part of the ad is that it's for a ghost writer but doesn't actually say anything about ghost writing. They seem think not having a byline is what makes one a ghost writer - which means they aren't even offering the same kind of great "exposure" their smarmy counterparts do.

Suspect the ghost writer ad isn't for a job, but some sort of scam…
