However, it was not something that we planned on and I did not have any sort of communication prior to with that particular poster planning to highlight their services.I was telling someone earlier that this is the LinkedIn ghostwriter strategy now and it's SO obvious when it happens.

In three months, you will have business, but too many people hire ghostwriters on LinkedIn and it's SO obvious it's not them.

Often the business owner is too busy to pay attention as long as the blog is being updated and they don't realize what's being posted...or...they do see it an are so inept that their ghost writer has convinced them that this is a great and cheap way to move up google rankings.I have no problem with the concept of spinning your articles, just edit them before posting and make sure that they still sound like you - they still have your voice to them.

I found other ways than the strait and narrow.That cash brings me back to days that might make a lot of you prim pearl-clutchers tongue-cluck in horror, but it was my youth and they were my mistakes and I own them all.I have nothing a value to add to this thread besides putting it out there in the universe I think Jim should ghost write the next BP book. 

@Brian BurkeIf you have your friends run Ben's blog posts and Brandon's books through some analysis software, you'll quickly see Brandon is Ben's ghost writer.  

This trainer used Ghost Writers for every book.

However, I am an Author a ghostwriter and life coach.

Hi - I'm Sunny, a former Realtor and a seasoned investor who writes (and ghost writes) real estate PR and educational materials.

Of course, the irony of your questioning the advice of the 'expert', while ladling out your own deftly delivered diatribe probably eludes you - having someone ghost write a book for you soon, are you?
