4 places I got paying gigs from in the last week [and a life update]

Hello Reader, Let's get to the meat of the matter! Last week I wrote about why it makes sense to go after low-paying writing jobs sometimes. (If you missed it, you can catch it here.) This week I want to share four places where I got gigs, and how much they paid me where applicable. 1. Qwoted....

When does it make sense to accept a low-paid writing gig?

Hello Reader, Writing is hard. You deserve to be paid for it. End of story. I am a big proponent of writers getting paid what they’re worth. I do not advocate for platforms that require you to pay money to access jobs, nor do I encourage new writers to "write for exposure." That all being said,...

What the f*** is happening to Medium publications?

GGood afternoon Reader, Medium publications are literally a make-or-break for new writers. If you're a new writer, they're often the difference between 10 views and 1 follower and 200 views and 20 followers per story. I found this out the hard way when I started a brand new secret profile --...

These people earn $30k+ per MONTH

Good morning Reader, I only recently heard of "over-employment" and "job stacking." Instantly, though, I was intrigued. Both those terms refer to one important concept: working two (or more!) jobs at the same time. And you don't tell your bosses. There are people who are making $30,000k per...
