How to be a Freelance Content Writer in the Philippines

' src=

By Ameena Rey-Franc

How to be A Freelance Content Writer in the Philippines

Whether as a side hustle or your primary bread and butter , being a freelance content writer in the Philippines is an excellent stay-at-home career. Contrary to popular belief, the earning potential is quite hefty. In some cases, one may earn more than the average monthly salary of professionals — but that may be getting ahead of ourselves.

If you want to be a freelance content writer in the Philippines, but don’t know where or how to begin, keep reading!

What is the work of a Content Writer in the Philippines?

Freelance content writing may either be a part-time or a full-time career choice for people who wish to make money using their writing abilities.

Being a freelancer means that you’re a free agent. You neither write solely for a company nor are you employed specifically by anyone. Primarily, the writing gigs you get are the product of your pitch or reach out to people looking for writers.

That said, you have full control of your time, and get paid by your own rules. Plus, you can also work on multiple projects at a given time (you know, for more greens).

As a content writer, your main goal is to deliver high-quality content to your client. No matter the niche, you’ll need to sound like an authority on the topic, so in-depth research is imperative. Google is your best friend!

And you’ll be working on various writing projects too, not limited to blog posts. Here are some writing gigs I’ve tried and done before, and pretty much what every freelance content writer in the Philippines has done too:

  • Blogging  
  • Ghostwriting (you don’t get to keep the by-line)
  • Staff writing (often for known online publications)
  • Technical writing
  • Creating résumé
  • Writing landing pages or service pages
  • Writing an ebook
  • Writing a thesis or a research paper

How to be A Freelance Content Writer in the Philippines?

You’ve read above what freelance writers do, still up for the challenge? If so, here are some actionable tips for you!

1. Build Your Portfolio

You might’ve encountered this word before and wondered, “Is that a photo collage or something?”

No. A portfolio is an actual compilation of materials that exemplify your chops as a writer. You want a portfolio that represents you and your personal brand. 

For example, you’re keen to focus on the finance niche. And you have the knack for simplifying complex financial concepts into easily digestible content for non-finance people. The best way to create your portfolio is to include your best finance-related articles in a Google Drive folder.

Reminder: Don’t insert all the articles you’ve ever created in the folder. Only the best, niche-relevant ones, produced no more than two years ago.

A blog can be a part of your portfolio too. In fact, this blog of mine is what I show to my clients.

Simply send a link to redirect a client to your blog, or a blog post you’ve written where you got to keep the by-line. 

2. Read a lot, and I mean a lot!

Not that much of a reader? Then that’s gonna be one tough pill to swallow. Freelance writing involves intensive and extensive reading if you want to thrive in this career. First of all, reading enhances your grammar and comprehension. And as I’ve mentioned above, you need to be an authority in the topic you’re writing.

I remember writing about solar panels before, without any prior knowledge of how it works. I spent the whole afternoon understanding volts, watts, amps, installation, and all processes related to solar panels. If you were in my position, you would’ve too.

3. Learn more skills

There is more to writing than just blurting words on a page. It helps if you’re already a talented writer, but you’ll need more than that in this competitive career. Here’s a list of other skills to reinforce your freelance writing arsenal:

  • Search Engine Optimization. Short for SEO . This is where your article will compete with a vast collection of articles from Google, so you’ll need this skill to rise to the top of results pages.
  • Proofreading and editing. Give your clients ready to publish articles.
  • Social media content creation. You might need to make all sorts of content for social media.
  • Content management. Familiarization with content management systems like WordPress is a must.
  • Research. Again, be an authority.
  • Copywriting. Where you’ll be writing compelling   copy across all marketing channels like website  copy,  blog posts, video scripts, digital and print ads, email campaigns, and packaging.

4. Put yourself out there

No one will hire you if you don’t pitch yourself to clients. As much as you can, be as active to check out sites where you can apply for work. If you want to learn how to effectively promote your services, we’ve written an ultimate guide about the 20 Ways to Promote & Market Your Business in the Philippines . Nonetheless, here are some websites that I’ve personally tried in the past, and are great places to start for a freelance content writer in the Philippines.

  • 199Jobs.com. Expect entry-level income on this website, great for beginners.
  • Onlinejobs.ph . You might land a long-term client here!
  • Raket.ph . Post yourself as a freelancer and someone might hit you up.
  • UpWork.com . A bit more competitive, but with great pay!  
  • Fiverr.com . The global, more competitive version of raket.ph .

How much does a content writer make in the Philippines?

There are tons of factors at play here, like experience, writing skills, and in some cases, how hard you negotiate .

If you don’t have the first two, then expect lower income for your writing. You will fully get your bearings on how the industry works when you start writing so I suggest getting a few gigs from 199jobs.

Starting with ₱0.50 per word is good. And once you feel you’re ready for higher rates, then negotiate with your future clients. If you perform as hard as you negotiate, then you may fish clients that pay ₱2.00-₱4.00 per word. 

The point is, it’s okay to start small and build yourself from the ground up.

Final thoughts about being A Freelance Content Writer in the Philippines

Being a freelance content writer in the Philippines is an awesome career. But it’s far from easy. There are a ton of things you must learn first before you can thrive in the industry. Nonetheless, the money is great, the learning along the way can be useful too, and you’ll surely meet awesome people. All it takes is a bit of effort and a leap of faith.

Develop your creative portfolio..

Most roles for freelance writers in the Philippines are uncredited. You write for a brand, but are not acknowledged in the masthead, or you ghostwrite for a person, in which case you must sign a non-disclosure agreement. All editors, authors, and project managers are publicly and proudly acknowledged in our titles, so you not only gain a freelance writing role, but continue to develop your portfolio. 

Work on the schedule that works best for you.

It’s 2022. We understand that people have different desires at different stages of their career. That’s why we’re open to every kind of work configuration, including full-time, part-time, and freelance writers, so long as they can deliver on the requirements of the project. 

Make an impact on the Philippines.

For many freelance writing jobs, you have no direct connection to the project you’re working on, such as in the case of offshore companies. You’ll never use the product or service you’re writing about. When working on books for Bookshelf PH, your work makes an immediate impact on our readership around the country, and you get the amazing feeling of holding a finished book in your hands (we send all team members on the masthead a copy).

Opportunities

We’re looking for an editor to edit books for our in-house book imprint. Most of these titles are anthologies in non-fiction, so the ideal candidate will be knowledgeable in primary and secondary research, interviewing, writing, fact-checking, developmental editing, copy-editing, and proofing. 

We have a robust pipeline of first party titles in production at any given moment. For some of these, we tap freelance writers who write in part or in full the entire manuscript, before the rest of the editorial team steps in to develop it further. The ideal candidate will be someone who has freelance writing experience. 

Project manager

There are many moving parts with any book, especially with the kind that Bookshelf PH tends to focus on. For select projects, we tap project managers who can steward a project from conceptualization all the way to publication, interfacing and managing internal and external stakeholders at every stage of the process.

Freelance Writing Jobs in Philippines

Writers with Knowledge in the Following Industries are Needed:

When people hear about online writing jobs, especially people that have no idea what it is all about, they do not give it a second thought. They think working for a freelance writing agency is not something worth considering and it is not even worths calling a job. Some think people cannot make a living from writing papers. They feel like freelance writers are not trending but they do consider doctors, lawyers, engineers, real estate agents, accountants and economists as people with trending jobs. Truth be told, freelance writers may be a little offended by this idea. Freelance writing is as time consuming as any other job, the difference is that you decide when to spend this time.

Nevertheless, many academic writers are making their mark on a low key, and they are enjoying what they do. You must not have one of the professions mentioned above to make a difference. There are students out there who need your help and expertise, and you might not know this, but you will be making a difference in the lives of those students.

Flexibility behind Online Writing Jobs

The best thing about online writing jobs is the flexibility it affords you. As a result, people with full-time jobs and even student venture into it because it is not an official job where you have to report to the office every morning at the same time and clock at a particular time. This is one of the reasons why writers are happy with online writing jobs. Just imagine this: you’re in Philippines and writing a paper that is due somewhere in Japan for instance, how cool is that? Basically freelance writing lets you work for international companies while comfortably sitting in your favorite chair at home.

Our company makes it easy for our writers to work at their pace as long as they work within the time range of the client. They are allowed to decline any order that seems too demanding in regards to time and flexibility. It is true that most writing companies loose writers due to some reasons and we know flexibility is one of those reasons, so we do our best to keep it flexible for everyone to be happy.

Freelance writing jobs in Philippines is a great opportunity to widen your scope, practice your skills and earn some much needed money.

Do Not Miss the Chance to Earn!

If you are one of those people who think writers do not earn much, then we urge you to check and give it a try. Do not let the generic idea of writers earning below minimum wage stop you from taking this opportunity. You will be surprised how much you can earn within a span of a month. Besides, it is not that difficult if you know what you are doing, like in any other job. And we assume that if you are reading this you are one of those people we are waiting for. All you need to do is give it a shot! You have the skill and knowledge, so what is left is joining our team.

Joy has been a vegan for over 20 years. She's…

You can’t be a freelance writer when money’s tight and you support a family. A writer’s job is hard enough as it is without the burden of financial responsibilities. So before you get any romantic notions about having the freedom, the mobility, and the liberty to call the shots as a freelancer — don’t.

When you freelance, you have the sole job of finding projects that will sustain you (and your family).  You’re functioning as a business essentially, which means you find clients, you make them happy, and you need to deliver. And you need to be doing this consistently so that you get money in the bank .

Tracking Leads

freelance article writer philippines

How do you find clients?

In the days before the internet, freelance writers relied on their network (i.e., people they know in the industry). This meant editors (usually the managing editor because she assigns stories) of magazines and newspapers. Those who had no access to editors might know photographers or staff writers who could put in a good word for them during editorial meetings.

I was fortunate to know some editors, and so had regular freelance assignments for a time. I would typically do two feature stories a month for one magazine and a few other small stories for other titles. I’d work on feature stories for about two weeks, maybe more if I had to sit in for a photo shoot with a celebrity or chase them down for a follow up. If I had to do a spread (which meant two pages), I’d get about P3,000. For a page that didn’t require a lot of legwork, I’d get about a P1,500. The word count typically runs about 500 to 800 for a page.

These days, the rates would differ depending on what you’re writing. For digital marketing (e.g., blog posts, web copy, product review, etc.), some companies may pay as low as $3 per article. And that article could be 500 words on a topic you might not have any idea about. For magazines, some still pay under P1,000 for a one-paged article and others pay as much as P4,000 for a two- or three-paged article.

Getting Paid

freelance article writer philippines

On average, freelance writer rates for a month could come to over P15,000. Sounds like easy money, doesn’t it? Fifteen grand for putting words to the screen. But the road to that figure (which isn’t much when you consider inflation, the cost of living, and the people you support) isn’t going to be easy.

First , you’re going to wait a long while to get paid if you’re writing for print publications. Magazines typically pay freelancers a month after publication of the story. If you get an assignment, for example, on December but the story is slated for the February issue, then you get paid on April.

Second , you’ll need to be a demon when creating content for companies as a freelancer. Most will require 500-1,000 words per article, 5 or 6 six articles a day — every day. These types of gigs are more consistent with payments and provide a stable source of income. But can you handle the cognitive demands of the work?

freelance article writer philippines

As a freelancer, you need to get several projects going to earn a decent income. So if the 5 or 6 article gig isn’t enough to pay your rent and bills and get you fed, you’re likely to be strapped to the computer from sun up to sun down.

Third , you need to deliver consistently good articles or content. Whether you’ve chosen to stick it out with print media or shifted to digital, your work gets you more work. A well-written, well-researched feature on a magazine with your byline could land you your next assignment with another magazine. An engaging copy for a client’s website could help you get more offers for online content.

If you falter on any one story because a) you overestimated your capacity for the volume of work , b) you had to deal with a personal issue, or c) you just got lazy, you’ll have one horrible addition to your portfolio. And that addition could cost you an opportunity.

Of course, just because something’s hard doesn’t mean it’s impossible. You just have to know your business and get it together.

Knowing How to Cut it as a Freelance Writer

freelance article writer philippines

Where do you start if you’re new to this whole thing? Try the many online platforms for freelance writers. Use your judgment to discern which ones are better for sourcing gigs.

  • Onlinejobs.ph
  • Freelancewritingjobs.ph
  • FreelanceWritersPhilippines on Facebook

You could also explore Craigslist; some writers still do that. Once you’ve checked out the opportunities and the kind of projects you could do, list several options. Note details like:

  • The scope of the work;
  • The payment (is it per word, per page, or per project?);
  • The mode of payment (bank transfer or PayPal?), and
  • The credibility of the advertiser. Look up that person or company to make sure you’re dealing with a legitimate project or service.

Most veteran freelance writers charge by the per word or per page option. Because these typically mean you’ll get paid sufficiently if the scope is a bit wider. But what’s the standard amount? The Freelance Writers Guild of the Philippines has agreed that no writer should accept work that pays under P2/word; it’s a standard that has yet to be followed across the industry because most writers still take on measly rates.

Before you take on any project, especially one-offs that require volume, get an agreement drafted. Your transactions and negotiations should be in writing. This will tell your potential client that they’re dealing with a professional. And don’t forget to add a “ kill fee” clause because you’ll still want to get paid even when the project suddenly falls through. The down payment of your work could serve as the kill fee.

Work is rarely ever easy (or appealing); hence, the term. But that’s why you’ve been given the gift of foresight. Think long and hard if your personality, needs, and goals match a freelancer’s life. Weigh your options.

And when you’ve made that choice, be prepared to hustle.

Hello, loved this post 🙂

I’m a freelancer myself and most of my long-term clients either came from referrals and websites like FreelanceWritingGigs.com and ProBlogger. So far, no luck with Craigslist and Upwork (though I’ve only tried sending four proposals).

Will definitely start reading more of this blog for insightful content.

How much should freelance writers charge? Here's a suggested rate guide

By John Patrick Magno Ranara Published Dec 06, 2023 2:54 pm

Writers have always struggled to determine the appropriate price for their work. If you price it too low then you'll get the short end of the income stick, but price it too high then you may turn away potential clients.

With recent issues about freelance rates, the Freelance Writers' Guild of the Philippines (FWGP) has shared a suggested rate guide for works.

In a statement , the non-profit organization said that it recognizes the issue of writers not knowing how much to charge their clients because of a lack of standardized fees for written projects in the country.

"With a freelance labor market that seems to be bursting at the seems —apparently, anyone who knows how to use a computer can write content—many writers sometimes agree to low compensation just to land a project," FWGP stated.

Without standardized rates, clients can exploit writers by offering them unreasonably low pay.

"This automatically lowers the bar for freelance writers' compensation and is essentially seen as very damaging to the community and industry, in general. The sad reality? Writers who charge rates that are fair will lose projects to those who accept contacts for a pittance," it added.

To address the issue of inconsistent pricing, the FWGP has created a comprehensive guide for writers to help determine appropriate rates for their work.

The organization explained that the rates "are based on previous surveys, current average market rates, and input from some of FWGP's members, many of whom are long-time freelance writers and editors."

The guide covers several written works, such as articles, press releases, print advertisements, translations, speeches, and more.

It also extends to other types of written output such as social media posts, scriptwriting for television and events, case studies, reports, and interview transcriptions, among others.

The prices are divided into two categories: average and high. FWGP noted, however, that the guide is not an absolute reference as the final figures and terms must still be based on specific considerations.

For example, a content article or blog post can start at P2.97 per word or go as high as P25. Social media posts or captions can start at P1,000 per post to P2,800 per post. Script writing for events ranges from P30,000 to P40,000, while copy editing can start at P300 per page to P600 per page.

Freelance Writers' Guild of the Philippines

FWGP also underscored the need to use a signed agreement before starting a project, where you must indicate the "scope of work, agreed cost, and terms of payment."

"FWGP hopes that the industry standard for compensation for writers will begin to rise to a fair level," the organization ended its statement, adding that it will produce more resources to help freelance writers in the coming year.

MANILA, Philippines – Horror stories about freelance writing in the Philippines abound.

Waiting for your payment could sometimes feel like waiting for the rain to fall in the desert. In the words of humorist Robert Benchley, “The freelance writer is a man who is paid per piece or per word or perhaps.”

And then there are publications that would require several interviews with expert resource persons, but whose fees would barely cover for the expenses related to producing the feature.

If these don’t scare you yet, take a look at what some freelance writers are paid:

  • As low as P22 per hour (online writing)
  • P45 to P90 per 400-500-word article (online writing)
  • P100 per 250-word article (academic writing and research)
  • P300 per 400-word article (online writing)
  • P0.50 to P2 per word (some local magazines, newspapers and news websites)

(These are actual figures cited by some members of the Freelance Writers’ Guild of the Philippines, based on their individual experiences working with local and international clients.)

On the upside, there are high-paying clients in the international market that pay better at P22.50 to P45 per word. But usually, Filipino freelancers don’t get these deals possibly because “you can pay (Filipinos) literally pennies for a story… because they are not native (English) speakers.” This is a comment made by an American and cited by another Filipino freelance writer. 

Locally, if you can get corporate clients or can write good advertising copy, then you can make more because these markets pay better than most outsourcing websites. You may have to make compromises, though, since you will have to write what you’re told.

To put it bluntly, there is no room for the idealistic writer in the commercial writing industry.

The freelancers

Despite the economically grim picture, freelancers are a dime a dozen because there are writers who are moms (or dads) at the same time, some are single parents and therefore need more time to raise their children.

Others enjoy the freedom that freelancing offers; some are working on their degrees; others do it to supplement a regular salary; and still there are those who think that writing is simple and that anyone with a pen can write!

Local scene

The fact is, writers’ fees in the Philippines have stagnated at a more or less 20-year-old level.

This, plus a host of other challenges that plague the freelance writing community have encouraged a bunch of freelance writers to organize themselves into the Freelance Writers’ Guild of the Philippines (FWGP) .

The guild aims to protect the welfare of Filipino freelance scribes working in the country, as it tries to help members improve the quality of their work. 

The one thing that you need to do

After you have turned the thought over inside your head and have still come up with the decision to go freelance, you need to commit to doing one thing for the industry.

Industry would include your current/upcoming career, the careers of your fellow freelance writers and the professional future of the generations of writers who would choose this same path. 

You need to commit to not sell out, to not accept pennies for your work and to treat the writing profession with respect and act with dignity in the way you conduct your business. 

Remember that every time you sign a P0.50 per word contract, you are making sure that your child will get paid the same rate when it’s her turn to go freelance.

You’ll get the cash for the electric bill this month, but is it really worth the trade-off? – Rappler.com
