I’ve worked about 20 gigs over the past 20 months and 0 have required me to be in the office. I do brand strategy mostly for ad agencies though. Imagine it totally depends on your expertise / mode of working

SF. Only rub is that very few projects have been more than a month long. I imagine if I were getting more 3 to 4 month stretches (which would be nice for stability) they’d require me in office

Never went into the office for the past 8 years.

Yep! But hold out. I had one hybrid turn remote! If they like you! Everything’s negotiable. Or should I say if leadership isn’t in the same office.

Everything is harder to find at the moment

On the verge of turning an hourly client into a retainer. Any tips?

I recently raised my rates after being told I wasn’t charging enough on here. Both of my main clients have already responded saying they either can’t pay me my new rate ($125/hour with 15 years experience) or are interested in “talking further.” So naturally I’m starting to freak out a little bit. I’m still pretty new to freelancing full time. What do I do/say? Do I hold my ground and hope for clients that pay me what I’m worth? Or lower my rates/standards and hope I can make ends meet! Help!

Hello everyone,
I'm fairly new to all of this, and I'm looking to get a little experience in the industry.
Any suggestions on where to look to find some remote work?

I’ve been dabbling with the idea of getting into copywriting as something to soon the side but I have no experience doing it. What steps should I take (books to read, gigs to start with or pursue, etc) if I want to go from $0 and next to ) experience to $40k or so a year?

Right now I’m currently unemployed and taking a break from my fine art stuff to try to get back into tech sales, but I was looking to expand my skill set and also generate extra money at the same time.
