Ebook Ghost Writing for Dummies

I think I'll start collecting some of the finer "ghost writing" job postings I get via email. Take this one for example (original formatting retained for your enjoyment):

Need a recipe writer for a long term basis to ghost write small ebooks (of 30 recipes). The ebook should contain the following:
-A short introduction to the book (1 page)
-30 original recipes
 -A Creative and Descriptive Title
 Recipes need to be original as all the work will be checked for duplicate content.
My budget is $10 per ebook, but this can be ongoing work for the eligible applicant.

I am looking to get 1 ebook a week.

This bid is for the first 10 books, but looking for ongoing contractor.

Please send with coverletter samples of your original recipes, so I can check your skill level.

 **NO UPFRONT PAYMENT - you will be paid in installments, after each book is approved.

I'm really curious whether people actually snap up these offers. Amazing.
