I make around $14,000 a month ghostwriting on Fiverr and work around 5 hours a day. Here's how I landed gigs and built up a clientele.

• Billy McIntyre uses Fiverr to ghostwrite books, memoirs, and business pitches.

• He said he started out by charging low fees and "saying yes to every job I could find."

This as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with Billy McIntyre, 32, a ghostwriter from Las Vegas. Insider has verified his earnings and pricing with documentation. It has been edited for length and clarity.

I ghostwrite people's memoirs, articles, and books. I wrote a memoir for one executive two months ago. He served in the French military and it was like writing an adventure story.
