9/26 Freelance Writing Jobs Newsletter

Hi ,

I hope you had a good week. Read on for:

• 12 freelance content writing gigs

• 12 freelance copywriting gigs

• 1 freelance editing gig

• 6 pitch opportunities

Last week, I asked how you’d prefer to get paid for six months of work. Here are the results:

While it may seem counterintuitive, most prefer to get paid at the start of each month, over 100% upfront. Here are some of the reasons why:

• This equally holds both parties responsible for upholding their ends of the stick. Plus, it allows me to balance my cash flow.

• Monthly payments help with budgeting.

One who opted for 100% upfront said, “If this is an option, I'll choose it because it allows me to invest part of the payment.”

Now for this week’s question:

I’ll share the responses (and interesting reasonings) next week!

31 freelance writing/editing opportunities

Now onto the gigs! I hope you find a good fit or two.

P.S. Have you landed a gig from this email? Reply and let me know! I’d love to hear all about it (and share your story if you’re open to it).

Reminder: If the gigs shared have posted rates, they must be above $100 per project, $25/per hour, or $0.10 per word. If you get offered less than that, please let me know. Also, gigs are vetted according to a variety of factors. For example, posters can’t ask for unpaid tests, pay for “exposure,” or have a public history of not paying freelancers. If you encounter problems of any sort from a company shared here, please let me know and I’ll add them to my blacklist.
