COURSES | THE FREELANCER'S YEAR STEP 2: Write Earn Thrive. Once you’ve got some freelance writing experience, it’s time to boost your income by landing high-paying clients so you can have the freedom, flexibility and lifestyle you want. This course helps established writers wanting to hit $100K a year from their freelance writing. "WHAT'S YOUR RATE?" ANSWERING THE TRICKIEST QUESTION IN If there’s one question that freelance writers hate more than this one, I don’t know what it is. Sometimes when you’re asked “What’s your rate?” it feels like a game where every answer is wrong. If you’re like me, when a prospective client or editor asks you for your freelance writing rate, a million things go through yourmind.
FOLLOWING UP WITH EDITORS Following up with editors is a simple and effective way to increase your commission acceptance rate. If an idea gets passed on, it also gives you a chance to tweak and improve it before you pitch to a different editor. I really believe that following up is one of the lost arts of freelance writing. I think it’s time to revive it. 10 GREAT FOOD PUBLICATIONS TO PITCH Saveur. Saveur is one of the best known and loved American magazines. It focuses on gourmet food and wine for passionate home cooks. There are lots of opportunities for freelance writers to pitch to Saveur – they use up to 15 contributors per issue. Evergreen stories, meals to remember and food throughout the world are favourite themes. MEDIUM PUBLICATIONS THAT ACCEPT SUBMISSIONS FROM FREELANCE Health and wellness writers will want to consider pitching to Medium’s science and wellness publication, Elemental. They’re specifically looking for evidence-based reported pieces, insights from experts and science-backed personal essays. Pitch: elemental@medium.com. Pay: $1/word. Follow: Editor in chief Sarah Collins and Deputy Editor WANT TO WRITE ABOUT MENTAL HEALTH? THESE PUBLICATIONS ARE Sometimes half the battle (or more) with freelance writing is finding clients or publications to pitch. I really believe that regardless of which area you want to write about (not that I think you only need one area of expertise), there will most likely be a publication, brand or business willing to pay you for your words. Articles and blogs focusing on health and wellness are so popular at A BEGINNER'S GUIDE TO TRAVMEDIA'S IMM A beginner’s guide to TravMedia’s international media marketplace (IMM) Before 2018, I had never heard of IMM. But, in late 2017 as I looked to expand my travel writing opportunities, a friend who is an incredible travel writer told me that I should apply to attend IMM Australia, held in Sydney each February. 7 PUBLICATIONS THAT PAY WELL FOR PERSONAL ESSAYS 7 publications that pay well for personal essays. 1. Allure. If you’re a writer who has had a book published, it’s definitely worth pitching to Allure (a magazine predominantly for women about beauty) as they pay up to $3,000 for personal essays up to 2000 words. For those mere mortals among us who haven’t written a book, the ratefor
HOW I GOT A $2/WORD WRITING JOB ON LINKEDIN How I got a $2/word writing job on LinkedIn.
