Hi Alex,
The easy answer is that you just need to do it more and practice it more.
You will find that the ghost serve is not necessarily that effective in a match because it may travel too slowly. It is just a serve with a lot of backspin that moves slowly enough so that the forward momentum is overcome by the spin on the ball.
