Freelance life is a constant challenge. Between pitching to brands, applying for freelance jobs, and marketing your freelance business, finding the time to search for freelance writing work is an added challenge in itself. But what if that challenge could be made 10X easier?
When I started freelance content writing 9 months ago, searching for freelance writing jobs took up the majority of my day. I would scour the internet for hours on end, only to stumble across a handful of low quality freelance roles. It was a waste of my time, especially as a newbie trying to find my feet.
So, I turned to freelance writing job newsletters. My SAVIOURS! Handy packages of curated freelance writing jobs landing straight in my inbox every single day, and I've curated a list of my favourites, so you can sign up too!
