20 of the best paying gigs right now plus this advice you need to hear

I changed my mind about not sharing any gigs here – so share my newsletter, will you?

Hey, Lounger

In the spirit of Christmas, I've decided to start sharing 20 out of the 100 latest well-paying opportunities. In fact, we're changing the trajectory of our newsletter to something that you long for. You'd get 20 – 30 of this every week. I send 100+ to the paying subscribers plus helpful tips on applying, building a portfolio, and getting your work out there. If you can pay for 100+ where you have more options, I advise you to.

Let’s start with what you need to hear:

If you're starting out, please, try not to apply to gigs for which you do not have enough experience. Even if you CAN do it. Believe me, I don't doubt that you can. I promise I know you're hardworking and resilient and will go any length to see that the article comes out perfect. I know, but if you can't prove that you've done a similar job before, you’ll just be wasting your time and theirs.

For Copywriters, how good is your storytelling? You may have written copies that didn't convert and frankly, I don't think a lot of companies would gauge your abilities by that as a newbie – but how fluid are you with convincing and flow? Do you have testimonials of any sort? These things matter. Work smart and not hard.

If you need a resource for unpaid blogs to write for when you easily want to build a portfolio, email me at iwuchidinma9@gmail.com and pleaseee, follow Crealo on Twitter.
