Prospect: "You have a strong Spanish accent. Are you sure you can ghostwrite in English?"

Me: "You're right; I have a strong accent, and I'm proud of it. But remember, I get paid to write, not to speak."

Prospect: "Love that! Can you ghostwrite for me 3X a week on LinkedIn? I need a content library that allows people in my niche to hear me talk about my industry. Especially after conferences, the first thing they see when they Google my name is my LinkedIn profile—and it's kind of empty."

Advice for International Ghostwriters:

• Be proud of your accent.
• Be confident in your writing skills.
• Believe in a world full of abundance.

If someone questions your accent, it has nothing to do with you. Instead, act as a consultant and dig deeper to understand their underlying concerns. Use it as an opportunity to showcase your expertise and build a stronger rapport.
