Does anyone know of sites to find freelance or short-term gigs...besides Fiverr and Upwork? The jobs there seem to be drying up

Hit your network. Tell everyone you know that you’re looking. Contact in-house recruiters. Check LI daily.

Try Behance. They’ve now added a fiverr-ish gig service.

Following* Because I feel like it is getting more and more difficult to find decent freelance gigs. I still miss elancer, even though it's been year's since that site went away. I will also sometimes check freelancer but most of those jobs are scams

Additional Posts in Copywriters

I don't know if this is a recent change but I’m seeing postings for junior copywriter/community manager roles. Have these roles always been attached or posted at a junior level? Is this merged role worth considering as someone young in the industry with more traditional intern and freelance copy experience.

So, you’ve reached the stage of your career where you care more about cashing a fat paycheck than making “creative ads”. You’d rather have the resources and free time to fulfill your creative itch outside of work than try to sell the next big idea to an 28 year old marketing manager with an annual budget of 150k. How do you make the absolute most money as a copywriter while still working a 9-5? Asking for... a... friend?

Jumping off a related topic: am I delusional to not care about jr/int/sr level titles? I've been a "copywriter" since the day I started and steadily gained responsibility, autonomy, and money. Happy with career progression, always getting juicier assignments, work directly with ECDs/CCOs... am I missing something crucial? Is my case an anomaly? Or is it okay not to push for a title upgrade?

When non-ad ppl ask you what do you do? In terms of title; do you tell them “copywriter”? Or immediately assume they dont know and might confuse it with copyright infringement, and just end up telling them that you’re a writer or a creative director, and skip the hassle
