Conor WalshFrom Cork, IrelandFreelance ghostwriter at ctwalsh.com
Business Model: Freelance$3,000monthly revenue$2,800monthly profitAll info self-reported by intervieweePublished December 19, 2019Reviewed and edited by Rita Epps
Who are you and how do you make money online?
Hi, my name is Conor. I grew up in a small town in Ireland, but left home in 2011, when I was 21 years old.
In the years since, I’ve worked a random selection of jobs, while traveling and living in over 40 countries around the world. From the deserts of Sudan to the beaches of Thailand, I’ve had my fair share of misadventures, close calls, and crazy moments.
These days, I’m a bit more relaxed.
I’m currently based in Nairobi, Kenya, traveling around East Africa while working remotely.
My main gig is ghostwriting for a team of ethical hackers doing penetration testing on websites around the world. I translate their work into reports for journalists, and blog posts that non-techie people like me can easily understand.
In my free time, I’m building an online community for remote workers and digital nomads in Africa.
For the moment, this consists of a small Facebook group, but will hopefully grow in 2020.
What does a typical workday look like for you?
I try to wake up around 7.30am, but it’s usually closer to 8.30am by the time I’m out of bed.
It depends on how much sleep I get the night before. Ironically, I’m answering this question during a bout of late-night insomnia. So I won’t be getting up tomorrow before 10am.
I have a solid morning routine that takes an hour when I do it all.
It’s focused on maintaining my physical & mental health, along with some reading (I average 2 books a month, with lots of note-taking).
Most mornings, by 10am, I’ve usually eaten, checked my email, and decided to work from home or a coworking space.
I used to be unable to work from home due to distractions, but now find it more conducive, especially if I’m writing.
I usually use coworking spaces to socialize and for the community, rather than working.

Who are you and how do you make money online?
My name is Kat Ambrose, and I’m a freelance writer.
I write and ghostwrite value-packed blog content for eCommerce and SaaS companies that positions them as a resource in the industry, and educates their audience.
I’ve written for several top companies that specialize in email marketing, shipping and logistics, CRM, PPC, and more. I also offer editing and proofreading services to clients in various niches.
I love being able to help my clients find the right words to help grow their business.
All of my clients pay me on a project-fee scale.
There are a few ways writers charge clients, but I find that charging on a per-project basis eliminates any awkward conversations come invoice time. Not to mention, it takes the pressure off of totally nailing the word count.
Currently, here’s a breakdown of my blog post writing rates:
1000-1500 words: $5751500-2000 words: $6752000-2500 words: $775And so on…

A brutally honest Wealthy Affiliate review
When I signed up to Wealthy Affiliate a few weeks back, it was with the expectation that the program would actually be good.
I envisioned myself enjoying the training, writing a positive review, and eventually earning some decent affiliate commissions.
Unfortunately, the training turned out to be terrible, and nobody in their right mind will sign up for it after reading the review I just published.
I also put together this video detailing the 7 biggest problems with Wealthy Affiliate, featuring appearances by Robert De Niro, Jennifer Aniston, and an awesome little monkey
