As a freelance writer, knowing the right strategies and tactics behind effective content writing is essential. You need to utilize them because you will often write for clients who rely on you to produce engaging, high-quality content. In fact, in 2022, HubSpot research revealed that 83% of marketers prioritize content quality over quantity, even if it means posting less often. In addition, you may also write your own work, such as books, blogs, and portfolios.
A Moment of Silence for the Daily Jobs, Please
My dear FWJ readers,
This is one of those notes that I dread writing. But there is no way around it, so I’ll dive right in.
The past few years have impacted our lives in ways that we would never have imagined — some good, some bad.
FWJ has not been spared, and we have come to a point where we believe that we need to make some changes in order to serve you better and stay true to our mission.
That being said, I am truly sad to tell you that the daily job postings will not be going live starting tomorrow, February 1, 2022.
This is a huge deal for all of us — especially to those of you who have been with us over the years. After more than a decade of daily jobs, FWJ is going to take a bit of a rest.
We still have our Freelance Writing Job Board, where you can see jobs posted directly by employers/clients. And, we will be giving you more resources that will help you with your freelance journey. Like these:
While we may not be with you every day — we will miss being your coffee companion in the morning — we are still here for you.
…PLUS we are working hard to give you a new FWJ experience in the coming months. So, expect a new look, a new program, and a whole lotta freelance goodness to come.
Don’t be a stranger!
Now, can we all take a moment of silence for the Daily Jobs, please?
Thank you, everyone. We appreciate you all!

Tips for Retiring as a Freelancer
Back in the day, you got a job at a single company. From there, you signed up for their 401(k) package, had predictable Social Security benefits, and may have even had a pension to boot.
Over time, these luxuries have slowly been stripped from the modern employee. Pensions are a thing of the past. Social Security is anything but certain over the long-term. And 401(k)s are still common perks — for full-time employees, that is. However, the meteoric rise of the gig economy has created a massive pool of tens of millions of self-employed individuals who lack even this basic retirement staple as an option for their financial future.
