This is the last edition of the newsletter for 2022. If you’re hiring freelancers in 2023, tag me in pitch calls, email [email protected], or DM me. I am always happy to amplify paid opportunities. Also, if you’re interested in sponsoring this newsletter in 2023, either respond to this or send a message to [email protected].
Since there’s fewer opportunities this time of year, I’m going to share a few of my favorite places to find freelance work:
Peak Freelance (and I like their Slack)
By the way, I have found these resources helpful in growing my business:
My portfolio (put one together now!)
The Writers’ Co-op (I pay $9/month)
#FreelanceChat Thursdays at noon on Twitter (returns in January)
Regularly raising my rates with these templates
