Tips to Land Writing Gigs on Freelance Websites

• best freelance writing sites in 2023

As a freelance writer, finding the right platform to showcase your skills and connect with potential clients can be a daunting task. With so many options available, it’s important to know which sites are worth your time and effort.

Whether you’re just starting out or looking to expand your client base, we’ve rounded up the 20 best freelance writing sites for serious writers. From job boards to content marketplaces, these platforms offer a range of opportunities for writers to find high-quality, paying gigs. So, grab your laptop and get ready to take your writing career to the next level!

Certain platforms will be easier than others to jump into and begin making money, as some are more competitive than others or have a more rigorous vetting process for freelancers. Here are some tips to help you land writing gigs as you get started:

• Create a strong profile. Your profile is often the first thing potential clients will see, so make sure it showcases your skills and experience. Include a clear and concise bio, relevant writing samples, and any relevant certifications or education.
• Be selective with the freelance jobs you apply for. It’s important to apply for gigs that align with your skills and interests. Don’t waste your time on low-paying or irrelevant jobs. Instead, focus on applying for gigs that you're qualified for and genuinely interested in.
• Customize your proposals. Don't send the same generic proposal to every job. Take the time to read the job description and tailor your proposal to the specific project and client. Show that you’ve done your research and understand what the client needs.
• Highlight your unique selling points. What sets you apart from other writers? Maybe you specialize in a specific niche, have extensive experience in a certain industry, or have won writing awards. Whatever it is, make sure to highlight it in your proposals and on your profile.
• Follow up. Don't be afraid to follow up on proposals or applications. A polite email or message can show that you’re serious about the job and can help you stand out from other candidates.
• Deliver quality work. Once you land a gig, make sure to deliver high-quality work that meets or exceeds the client’s expectations. This can lead to repeat business and positive reviews, which can help you land more gigs in the future.

By following these tips, you can increase your chances of landing high-quality writing gigs on the best freelance writing sites. Remember to stay patient and persistent, and don't be afraid to put yourself out there!

20 best freelance writing sites in 2023

It’s possible to create a full-time income with freelance writing if you’re dedicated to creating high-quality work and willing to put in some upfront work. Our advice is to get started with one or two platforms to feel out which ones will work best for you, and don’t get discouraged if any particular platform or project doesn’t work out.

Here are our picks for the best freelance writing sites in 2023:

Upwork is a marketplace that connects freelancers with companies and individuals looking for freelance talent. From writing and translation to design and creative, there are many types of jobs available for hire. You simply bid on the jobs you’re interested in working on, complete with a proposal where you describe why you’re the best person for the job and set your desired rate. If you’re selected, you then complete the work according to the client’s specifications and get paid through the platform.

To get started on Upwork, create a profile where you highlight your skills, your portfolio of work, and your ideal pay rate. Search for jobs in the Talent Marketplace, submit proposals, get a contract on winning bids, and check off the steps to complete the work. Clients may choose to pay you for reaching certain milestones during the course of the project, or they pay you when the job is done. They can also submit feedback, which helps you secure future jobs and build lasting relationships with new clients. A word of advice as you get started: Get your feet wet with a few simple jobs where you earn positive feedback before demanding higher rates, as Upwork is a highly competitive platform with thousands of skilled writers and other professionals.

• Pricing: It’s free to join Upwork, build a profile, search for work, and post your own projects. Upwork charges a service fee based on your earnings, with a sliding scale that rewards long-term client relationships. The Freelancer Plus upgrade gives you more advanced tools to market your services and submit attention-grabbing proposals.

2. Best Writing

A relatively new platform, Best Writing got its start in 2020 when two friends decided writers needed a better way to find great work. Subscribe to the Best Writing newsletter, and you’ll receive weekly emails packed with hand-picked writing opportunities. The site aggregates writing jobs from online job portals, social media, newsletters, and selected partners, serving up everything from remote freelance gigs to full-time positions.

Best Writing is also a talent marketplace; for a small fee, you can gain access to a daily newsletter with the latest writing jobs and create a public writer profile. If you’re looking to be more proactive and make sure you don’t miss out on an opportunity, the Writer Membership might be the way to go. Because Best Writing is a newer platform, there may be less competition, although that could change as the platform grows — so get in while the getting’s good.

• Pricing: Free to subscribe to the weekly newsletter, browse jobs, and apply on external sites; Writer Membership is $9 per month or $90 annually.

3. Superpath Jobs

Another larger platform with thousands of writers, Superpath Jobs is an online jobs aggregator that caters to content strategists, creators, editors, and freelance writers. Browse jobs by category, location, company, and more — and apply externally to any positions of interest.

While Superpath may look like just another job site, there’s more to it: Not only are you only seeing jobs in your desired field, but the platform also has a Slack community to which writers can apply to join. Once approved, you can connect with other like-minded creators, share tips and tricks, and support one another on your writing journeys. Additional tools like a blog, a podcast, and a regularly updated salary report keep you in the know.

• Pricing: Free to create a profile and post your resume. You decide whether to make your profile visible to employers.

Draft offers clients quality content writers on demand; for you as a freelancer, it offers you unlimited work that matches your interests, availability, and skills. Once you’re approved to write for Draft, you can view available projects on your dashboard, claim anything you want to work on, complete the work, and upload it onto the project portal. Clients can then submit feedback or request revisions, as well as set people as preferred writers if they like their work (this is what you want, so you can get first dibs on projects).

To get started as a writer, you’ll need to apply on the Draft site and complete a test writing project. If you pass, you’ll have access to the project dashboard, where you can not only claim projects but also track any projects you’ve claimed and completed. Writers get paid weekly via direct deposit and can track their payments through the platform.

• Pricing: Free to join as a writer once you’re approved; Draft charges a small payment processing fee that gets subtracted from your weekly payment.

5. ProBlogger

Over 300,000 bloggers rely on ProBlogger as their go-to resource for blogging education and resources, from blog posts and podcasts to courses in blog creation and growth. Blogger Darren Rowse launched the site after turning his blogging hobby into a paying profession, and now he’s paying it forward in an effort to help other bloggers make money doing what they love.

If you’re serious about starting a blog and turning it into a money maker, ProBlogger is the place to go for blogging advice, trends, and in-depth tutorials. There’s also a Facebook community where you can connect with fellow bloggers. To get started with ProBlogger, add your email to their subscriber list to receive blogging hacks right in your inbox.

• Pricing: Free to join; only pay for additional courses and other resources you want.

6. Textbroker

Like Draft, Textbroker provides quality, SEO-driven content of all kinds, including blog articles, product descriptions, advertising copy, translation services, and more. Clients include small businesses, e-commerce websites, publishing houses, publicly traded companies, and more. As a writer, you’ll be part of an established community connecting authors and clients where you can showcase your talents and expertise in your niche. You choose when and how much to write based on your interests and needs.

It’s free to register as an author on Textbroker, and you can earn more on projects based on the quality of your work, and the helpful Textbroker team provides feedback to help you hone your skills. Weekly payouts make it easy to access your earnings. To get started, complete your author registration and activate your account; you will then need to submit a short writing sample and connect your payment method.

• Pricing: Free to register

Contena is an invite-only online program and a suite of job-search tools aimed at helping budding writers land freelance writing and remote work. The site says that its self-paced program has helped its members earn millions from remote writing. Yes, it’s a membership, so the program isn’t free; pricing isn’t readily available on the site, but this review — based on the writer’s experience in trying out the onboarding process — states that membership costs $497 for one year or $997 for two years.

While there are many positive reviews of Contena, the same writer above states these reviews are driven by affiliate income. However, the site offers a 30-day guarantee that should put your mind at ease, and the online course could be worthwhile if you’re just getting started with freelance writing. Our best advice? Do some thorough vetting before shelling out any money, but don’t be afraid to invest in your education if the material is worthwhile.

• Pricing: Reportedly $497 per year

8. LinkedIn

You may be familiar with LinkedIn as a place to create a professional profile and connect with colleagues in your industry. However, it’s also a job marketplace where you can upload your resume and browse job listings. As you apply to roles of interest, LinkedIn may recommend adding certain skills to your profile, such as search engine optimization or WordPress. You can also take quizzes to have skills badges added to your profile, helping you stand out from the crowd.

Having your resume ready to send can be helpful when you’re applying to multiple jobs at once; jobs marked as “EasyApply” let you apply directly on the platform. Be sure to build out your LinkedIn profile to highlight your achievements, request recommendations from people you know, and showcase your best professional self.

• Pricing: Free; Premium membership starts at $29.99 per month, with access to more advanced career tools.

9. Writer Access

More than 40,000 brands use Writer Access to connect with freelancers and scale their content marketing. That means as a writer, you have access to a vast array of companies looking for quality content of all kinds, from technical writing to presentations and white papers.

When you apply to write for Writer Access, expect a thorough vetting, as the site hand-reviews your work and experience and only invites the best freelancers to move through the screening process. Once you’re approved, you’ll go through an onboarding program in which you’ll develop your CV and profile alongside the Writer Access team. From there, you can start taking advantage of cool perks like free stock images, portfolio promotion, content marketing tools, and a ticket to their annual content marketing conference.

• Pricing: Free to apply

10. FlexJobs

FlexJobs is a jobs marketplace aimed at helping people find flexible work that aligns with their lives. If you’re seeking a work-from-home role, flexible working hours, or the ability to dictate your own schedule, this site can help you find such jobs and apply. You can also utilize skills tests, expert content, checklists, and courses to uplevel your search.

While there are many job sites out there, FlexJobs appears to be one of the most helpful as far as weeding out any scams. The site offers a 30-day satisfaction guarantee and helpful customer support reps, ensuring you’ll have a great user experience. Be sure to check out the career coaching services, webinars, and other resources to put your best foot forward with potential employers.

• Pricing: $9.95 for a week; $59.95 for a year.

11. Compose.ly

Compose.ly touts itself as being one of the highest-paying platforms in the market, with writers averaging 10 to 14 cents per word. With no membership fees, a sleek user interface, consistent payments, and a supportive writer community at your fingertips, Compose.ly can be a great source of regular income. Work as much or as little as you like, and only choose projects that sound like a great fit.

Compose.ly’s rigorous selection process could mean you will have less competition for jobs. However, you’ll need to pass the application process, which includes a brief assessment, to begin accepting jobs on the platform. Compose.ly pays bimonthly, so while not as regular as some of the other platforms on our list, it’s still a great source of income. To get started, create an account and apply to be a writer.

• Pricing: Free

12. Scribly

Founded by ex-copywriters, Scribly is a content marketing agency whose team knows what it’s like to work as freelancers. That’s why they’ve created a platform designed to empower freelancers to do the work they love while getting paid fairly and on time. Clients pay a monthly fee to tap into content creation, content strategy, and social media management services from a pool of quality, native-English writers.

To get started as a writer, you’ll need to send a message to the Scribly team telling them a little about yourself. Once you take that step, you’ll get a message letting you know they’ve received your message — so you may not have the instant gratification of knowing where you stand with Scribly. However, should you make it through the initial hiring steps, you’ll have access to flexible, scalable income you can earn whenever and wherever you want.

• Pricing: No pricing information is listed but appears to be free for freelancers.

13. Blogging Pro

Blogging Pro features a job board that’s updated daily with new blogging jobs, freelance writing jobs, and other writing positions. You can also subscribe to the newsletter to get jobs delivered to your inbox weekly. In a nutshell, Blogging Pro does the heavy lifting to locate hand-picked writing opportunities that let you work how and where you want. Search for remote, freelance, part-time, full-time, and contract opportunities, and apply externally to any jobs of interest.

If you’re looking for aggregated job opportunities with a side of blogging tips and advice, Blogging Pro could be a useful resource. The site has been around since 2006, making it one of the longest-standing resources for bloggers. The site also has an array of educational articles to help you get up and running as a blogger and hone your craft.

14. The Urban Writers

The Urban Writers platform connects authors with high-quality writers and editors capable of working on a variety of writing projects, including e-books, fiction and nonfiction books, SEO articles, content translation, and more. There’s something for every kind of writer, editor, illustrator, and designer on the platform, making it one of the most versatile freelance opportunities on our list.

You can apply to be a writer or editor on the platform, and should you make it through the selection process, you will then complete an assessment to determine if you’re a good fit. The Urban Writers then allows approved creatives to submit proposals on posted jobs. If you’re new to the platform, it could be more challenging to get assignments; however, the platform is supportive and includes a Slack community where you can pick up tips and advice from seasoned writers.

15. Crowd Content

If you’re a native English speaker from the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, or New Zealand, you can create an account on Crowd Content and seek out a variety of writing and editing roles. Clients seek content marketing at all skill levels, so whether you’re a full-time freelancer looking for more work or a novice getting started, you’re likely to find roles that are a good fit. You choose the jobs you want and work at your own pace on a variety of assignments.

As you work with clients, you have a chance to earn feedback and get added to their list of favorite writers, leading to more future assignments. Easy access to the Crowd Content staff and a user forum ensures you always can get answers to your questions and tap into additional resources like coaching and exposure to managed services clients. To get started, create a Crowd Content account, pass the writing assessment, start applying for jobs, and do great work to access higher-paying projects. Payments go out twice a week.

16. iWriter

Clients pay iWriter for quality content at different tiers, from AI-driven to expert-level content with native-English writers. Once approved as a writer, you can earn up to $40 per 500 words as you produce high-quality work and promote up the ranks.

on Jan 4, 2024

Looking for content writer jobs that pay well and offer flexibility? 

As a beginning freelance writer, the opportunities are vast and varied. 

But how do you pinpoint the best ones? Where do you find these golden gigs? And how do you prepare yourself to become a successful content writer? 

This article will answer all your questions and highlight some of the best content writing positions perfect for newbies. 

Ready to kickstart your freelancing journey?

Here we go!

Understanding the Role of a Content Writer

What exactly does a content writer do, and why are they important?

In the digital world, content writers are the unsung heroes who breathe life into websites, blogs, social media posts, and even emails. 

Content writers take complex information and distill it into digestible, relatable content. They’re writers and editors, creating compelling and engaging pieces that inform, entertain, and, most importantly, connect with readers. 

So, who hires content writers? 

The answer is just about everyone! 

Businesses small to large, rely on content writers to communicate their value proposition, differentiate their brand, and engage their customers. 

• Digital marketing agencies look for content writers to craft compelling stories for their clients.
• Media houses and publishers require them to produce informative and engaging pieces.
• Non-profits hire them to write impactful narratives that evoke empathy and action.
• Even independent professionals, like coaches or consultants, need content writers to articulate their expertise and offerings.

Just think about it. 

Every time you’ve felt connected to a brand , compelled to make a purchase, or motivated to sign up for a newsletter, there’s likely a content writer who’s done their job well behind the scenes.

In other words, no matter how technology advances in the future, there will always be a role for quality content writers in the marketing world.

What Skills Do You Need to be a Content Writer?

A degree in journalism, English, or communication can give you a solid foundation. 

But no degree? No problem! 

Becoming a content writer isn’t necessarily about having the perfect degree or qualifications, it’s more about cultivating the right set of skills and developing a keen understanding of your audience. 

At the fundamental level, as long as you have the following skills, you have the makings to be a successful content writer.

Here’s what you’ll need:

• Exceptional Writing Skills : It might sound obvious, but having a strong command of language is key. You need to be able to write clear, engaging, and error-free content . This includes having a knack for catchy headlines , compelling introductions, and conclusions that encourage action.
• Research Proficiency : Content writers often write about a range of topics, so it’s important to know how to research effectively. You’ll need to navigate online resources, separate reliable information from unreliable, and find fresh angles on well-trodden topics.
• SEO Understanding : Writing for digital platforms means understanding SEO . Familiarize yourself with keyword research, meta descriptions , and how search algorithms work. This knowledge will help your content reach the right audience.
• Adaptability : Every brand has its own voice . Your writing style should be flexible enough to adapt to different brand tones and audiences. The tone you use for a financial services firm will differ from a trendy startup or a nonprofit organization.
• Time Management : Content writing often comes with tight deadlines. Being able to manage your time effectively, juggle multiple projects, and meet deadlines is essential.
• Familiarity with Social Media : Knowing how to craft engaging posts for different social media platforms , and understanding the unique requirements of each, can be a major asset.
• Continuous Learning : The digital landscape changes rapidly. Successful content writers stay on top of trends in content marketing, new social media platforms, and changes to search engine algorithms.

So who’s best suited for a content writing career? 

If you have a flair for words, an insatiable curiosity, an aptitude for research, and the ability to meet deadlines without breaking a sweat, you might be cut out for the content writing life. 

Just remember that adaptability is crucial too, because in content writing, one size does not fit all!

If you’re looking to start a new freelance career , you might be wondering what the highest paying freelance jobs are. The answer is – it depends! Lots of different factors come into play to determine the average earnings for a specific job.

In this post, we’ll take a closer look at some of these factors before examining 11 freelance jobs that are typically well paid. At the end, we’ll even provide you with an opportunity to pursue some of those jobs.

What Makes a Freelance Job High Paying?

Many factors can impact how much you earn as a freelancer, including:

• Experience. As in most career paths, the more expertise and proven experience you can demonstrate, the more you can get paid.
• Specialization. If you’re highly skilled and offer a more specialized service, you can be justified in charging more money.
• Market demand. The demand for your skills can help you get an idea about how much you’ll get paid. If the demand is high, you can get paid more. If the market is saturated , you may have to settle for a lower wage.
• Location. The demand for certain services isn’t the same across the globe. Unless you’re working 100% remotely, where you live can affect how much you’ll get paid.

The amount you earn can also vary from project to project. Different types of clients – for example, large corporate clients vs. small businesses or individuals – may have different budgets. And if you take on a particularly complex project or a project with a tight turnaround time, you may be able to command a higher rate. Negotiation skills come in handy here!

11 of the Highest Paying Freelance Jobs

Considering the variability of the factors listed above, determining the highest paying freelance job can be difficult. But here are 11 jobs that consistently appear at the top of salary lists.

1. Accountant

Accountants keep and maintain the financial records for companies of all sizes. This responsibility may involve analyzing profits and losses, preparing invoices, doing payroll, creating reports, filing taxes, and more.

To be proficient in this job, you need the ability to communicate effectively and work well as part of a team, and you need to have good time management skills. You’ll also need the ability to analyze data and proficiency in some form of accounting software .

2. Web Designer

Web designers create functional, attractive websites and web pages for businesses and individuals. Tasks can include wireframing , creating graphics and selecting images, testing navigation, and working with clients to decide on branding elements, such as color schemes and fonts.

To be a successful web designer, you’ll need to be creative and detail-oriented, with an eye for visual design. This means being familiar with design principles such as color theory , typographic hierarchy , and user experience (UX) best practices. You’ll need to be comfortable using design software, including Adobe XD, Figma, and Sketch. Increasingly, web designers are also expected to have some knowledge of programming languages (e.g., HTML, JavaScript, and CSS).

3. Video Editor

Video editors review, trim, edit, and arrange raw video footage to create a final piece of video or film. Along with sequencing clips, video editing involves adding visual effects, voiceovers, and audio to the footage. Freelance video editors can work by themselves or as part of a team. They can work on a wide range of projects, such as:

• YouTube videos
• Social media content 
• Commercials 
• Training videos 
• Interviews 
• Marketing videos (e.g., testimonials, product guides)

Like web designers, video editors need to be creative and possess a great eye for detail. They also need to be good at visual storytelling (using video to engage, entertain, educate, or inspire their audience).

To find work as a freelance video editor, you’ll need to own a camera, microphone, and video editing software and know how to use them. It’s essential to build a demo reel or portfolio to showcase your skills and attract potential clients.

4. Translator

Freelance translators play an important role in international communication and can find work in academics, politics, and business.

You need a number of skills to succeed as a translator . These include excellent reading comprehension, listening, research, and writing capabilities.

5. Podcast Host

More and more people are starting (and listening to) podcasts. According to Exploding Topics, there are 504.9 million worldwide podcast listeners . That’s 23.5% of all internet users! So if you like to entertain or educate others by telling stories, sharing insights, or conducting interviews, hosting your own podcast can be a great way to make money.

You’ll need to prepare for your show by gathering information, finding guests, and making notes or scripts. If you want to work alone, you’ll also need the skills to edit your podcasts after recording them.

Depending on the number of listeners they have, podcasters normally earn money through sponsorships. Estimates vary, but several sources (including Podcastle ) say 10,000 downloads per episode – the minimum usually required to qualify for sponsorship – equates to around $500–$900. If you have a really successful show, with lots of downloads, the amount you make per episode will increase over time. As of 2024, the biggest podcast, The Joe Rogan Experience , brings in $100K in revenue per episode !

Here is a simple plan you can follow to start a successful podcast .

6. Digital Marketer

To make a profit, businesses need to attract and retain clients. This is where digital marketers come in. They help businesses build awareness of their brand and generate sales by using digital marketing channels to share content and engage with the target audience. For example, they might:

• Make recommendations for search engine optimization (SEO)
• Write copy for web pages and blogs
• Create and schedule social media content 
• Design email campaigns, newsletters, and promotional emails
• Manage online advertising campaigns (e.g., pay-per-click ) 
• Monitor performance and generate reports based on key performance indicators

Digital marketers don’t need any particular qualifications but may benefit from having a relevant degree (e.g., in business or communications). It’s also possible to learn on the job via work experience, apprenticeships, and internships.

When you’re just starting out, you’ll need to learn the best practices for a variety of marketing channels – email, social media, web content, etc. – and ways to put together a marketing strategy and measure campaign results. As you gain experience, you may decide to specialize in a particular area.

The amount of money you can make will depend greatly on your experience. Although the starting wage might be around $15 per hour only, you could make as much as $75 per hour with experience.

Here is a six-step plan that will show you how to become a digital marketer .

7. Virtual Assistant

A virtual assistant helps clients with administrative tasks. This responsibility commonly involves managing emails, scheduling appointments, making phone calls, and entering data. It can also involve more specialist services such as bookkeeping or content creation . Basically, you make sure someone else’s professional life runs smoothly.

A good virtual assistant will need to have excellent organization, customer service, computer, and communication skills. You don’t need any previous experience to become a virtual assistant, but certifications can be beneficial if you want to offer specialized services.

The job pays an average of $24 per hour .

This is a useful guide to becoming a virtual assistant and landing your first job .

A lot of people turn to the internet when they want to learn something new or get extra support with their education. This is where online tutors come in! Online tutors provide educational support for people of all ages, covering a countless number of subjects. Typically, a tutor will pick one or two areas to specialize in (e.g., math for high school and college students) based on their own educational or professional background.

Being a good tutor requires patience, empathy, and a positive mindset. You need to be an active listener and know how to communicate clearly and effectively with your learners. Most importantly, you need to have proficiency in the area in which you wish to tutor.

The average wage for a tutor is $28 per hour , but highly skilled tutors can make up to $60 per hour.

Here is an article discussing different tutoring jobs and ways to become an online tutor .

9. Proofreader

A lot of people think the jobs are the same, but there’s a difference between proofreading and editing . Both are ways to polish a piece of writing…and both can make for a rewarding, well-paid job!

First, let’s look at proofreading (more on editing later). A proofreader identifies and addresses mechanical errors in a document – spelling mistakes, incorrect grammar, punctuation errors, and inconsistencies in formatting. They also make sure that the document follows specific style guidelines . To succeed as a proofreader, you need excellent attention to detail, a strong grasp of the English language, and the ability to stick to a style guide.

A proofreader can work on any kind of document, including books, magazines, video and audio scripts, academic articles, legal documents, and all forms of business-related materials. The sky’s the limit!

According to the Editorial Freelancers Association, the average hourly rate for a proofreader is around $40–$65, depending on the document type.

You can even start a career as a proofreader without any previous experience .

Did you know that there are actually several different types of editing ? The exact work you do will depend on the type of editing you specialize in and the type of document you’re working on. However, most editors will:

• Look at the overall flow and structure of a document
• Check that the content is appropriate for the intended audience
• Make changes to wording and sentence structure to improve clarity and readability

Like proofreaders, editors need to pay very close attention to detail, possess a strong grasp of the rules of language, and know how to stick to a style guide. They need to be able to spot surface-level errors and understand the deeper nuances of style and syntax. They also need good interpersonal skills to market their business and work effectively with clients.

The US Bureau of Labor Statistics states that the average hourly rate for an editor is $36 per hour.

Here are some easy-to-follow tips for starting a career in editing with no experience .

11. Content Writer

There are lots of different types of writing jobs , from content writers and copywriters to technical writers and ghostwriters. Here, we’re going to focus on content writing .

The goal of a content writer is to create content that educates, inspires, engages, or entertains others. A content writer can work on all kinds of materials: blog posts, social media content, email campaigns, digital and print advertisements, white papers…the list goes on! Many content writers choose a niche and focus their efforts in one area, for example, specializing in travel writing or food writing .

Writers need to know how to research, structure, and write engaging content. They need to be adaptable, know how to communicate effectively with their clients, and be able to check over their work to make sure it’s error-free. Other valuable skills for content writers include:

• Proficiency in planning and research  
• The ability to adapt to a brand voice  
• Knowledge of search engine optimization

The average hourly salary for a remote content writer in the US is $31.49 .

ChatGPT took their jobs. Now they walk dogs and fix air conditioners.

Technology used to automate dirty and repetitive jobs. Now, artificial intelligence chatbots are coming after high-paid ones.

When ChatGPT came out last November, Olivia Lipkin, a 25-year-old copywriter in San Francisco, didn’t think too much about it. Then articles about how to use the chatbot on the job began appearing on internal Slack groups at the tech start-up where she worked as the company’s only writer.

Over the next few months, Lipkin’s assignments dwindled. Managers began referring to her as “Olivia/ChatGPT” on Slack. In April, she was let go without explanation, but when she found managers writing about how using ChatGPT was cheaper than paying a writer, the reason for her layoff seemed clear.

“Whenever people brought up ChatGPT, I felt insecure and anxious that it would replace me,” she said. “Now I actually had proof that it was true, that those anxieties were warranted and now I was actually out of a job because of AI.”

Understanding AI

Some economists predict artificial intelligence technology like ChatGPT could replace hundreds of millions of jobs, in a cataclysmic reorganization of the workforce mirroring the industrial revolution.

For some workers, this impact is already here. Those who write marketing and social media content are in the first wave of people being replaced with tools such as chatbots, which are seemingly able to produce plausible alternatives to their work.

The Unique Burial of a Child of Early Scythian Time at the Cemetery of Saryg-Bulun (Tuva)

<< Previous page

Pages:  379-406

In 1988, the Tuvan Archaeological Expedition (led by M. E. Kilunovskaya and V. A. Semenov) discovered a unique burial of the early Iron Age at Saryg-Bulun in Central Tuva. There are two burial mounds of the Aldy-Bel culture dated by 7th century BC. Within the barrows, which adjoined one another, forming a figure-of-eight, there were discovered 7 burials, from which a representative collection of artifacts was recovered. Burial 5 was the most unique, it was found in a coffin made of a larch trunk, with a tightly closed lid. Due to the preservative properties of larch and lack of air access, the coffin contained a well-preserved mummy of a child with an accompanying set of grave goods. The interred individual retained the skin on his face and had a leather headdress painted with red pigment and a coat, sewn from jerboa fur. The coat was belted with a leather belt with bronze ornaments and buckles. Besides that, a leather quiver with arrows with the shafts decorated with painted ornaments, fully preserved battle pick and a bow were buried in the coffin. Unexpectedly, the full-genomic analysis, showed that the individual was female. This fact opens a new aspect in the study of the social history of the Scythian society and perhaps brings us back to the myth of the Amazons, discussed by Herodotus. Of course, this discovery is unique in its preservation for the Scythian culture of Tuva and requires careful study and conservation.
