Crew Log - Explained

I’ve been researching the topic of how much does a ghostwriter make, and the numbers seem to vary a lot depending on experience, niche, and project type. Some ghostwriters charge per word, some per project, and others work on royalties or partnerships. So I thought it would be useful to start a thread where writers, authors, and anyone with experience can share insights. What do ghostwriters typically earn for books, blogs, or business content? And does the earning potential increase with expertise? If you’ve worked as a ghostwriter — or hired one — your input could really help clear up how much a ghostwriter actually makes in today’s market.

I’ve been curious about the whole concept of ghostwriting and how does ghostwriting work behind the scenes. I know many authors, influencers, and even businesses use ghostwriters, but the details can feel a bit confusing.

From what I understand, ghostwriting involves a professional writer creating content books, blogs, speeches, or scripts—while the client gets full credit for the final work. But the workflow seems different for everyone, which makes people even more interested in learning how does ghostwriting work in real-world scenarios.
