Is it more challenging finding freelance as a solo copywriter as opposed to being part of a creative team?

With so many news sources using a subscription system, there needs to be something like a Netflix for news articles.

For startup founders/people with a successful side project: How did you get the idea/inspiration for your business? I’m currently working at a Series B startup and my end goal has always been to found my own startup, but I graduated from college 2.5 years ago and I still have not had any great ideas cross my mind. I do spend a fair amount of time brainstorming. I don’t want to continue working here forever, but I’m struggling to generate that “this is it” idea to build a company for. Any advice?

Any idea. How is IIM bangalore 2 year weekend MBA?

If you’re my partner and you’re double dipping, don’t you dare show up to check ins with fewer ideas than me. If you can’t handle the extra workload, stick to one job.

Friendly reminder folks- don’t work for Havas Health and You. They cut the freelancers hourly rates, again and made it so there’s no OT. The resource manager at HOV said if I couldn’t swing $80 an hour as an HCP copywriter, she’d have to find someone else. Good luck 👍🏻

Has anyone worked at WebMD before as a contractor?

Recently started freelancing and working from home and realized that I really need a quality office chair cause my current one is killing my back. Any suggestions below $500 if possible?

Question: since August last year, the same recruiter at a mid-size agency has asked me about freelance gigs maybe 4 or 5 times......continued:

Current place I'm at wants to extend me. Thing is I had already (verbally) agreed to another place. But other place is less $, less time, though more "prestige". Stay or go?

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.

1099 or w-2 ? I have been given the option though the company prefers w-2. It’s a day rate booking couple of months or more (no end date). I already have 1099 from similar company this year and am leaning towards 1099, but I don’t want to be difficult. I do take home office deduction and they are not supplying any equipment. Suggestions?

Any suggestions on how to get a monthly project retainer fee increased? I have a lead on a project that sounds exciting and in an area I have a high level of expertise in, but the budget suggested is too low for the work expectation. Appreciate any suggestions you have on how to navigate this conversation.

Does anyone here freelance (in design or deckmaking) on top of their full time position? How does that work?

I’ve been a freelance print production designer for many years, and usually on-site in the before times. Now I work remote, and am finding it uneasy dealing with billing. Before I always billed hourly, which made sense, but it’s becoming an issue now. Some companies don’t have a full days’ work, so it seems wrong to bill full days, and it allows me to juggle projects for different companies, but my billable hours are down. I know I should bill a daily rate, but not sure that will fly. Thoughts?

Does anyone else struggle with being a freelancer while also being a natural leader? I always feel in freelance roles that they would prefer I just shut up (even though my ideas have been praised and implemented plenty), esp within my own dept. In a full-time role, taking charge is expected, but I'm feeling like I should just sit back and take orders vs trying to be proactive or having thoughts in a freelance role.

first time freelancer here - should I make a second bank account or do anything special to track income for taxes? or just pay estimated taxes quarterly and square up during tax season?

At what point do we publicly announce a minimum day rate under which no freelancer will go? The news this week about what C-level titles are paid is sickening. This is feudalism. Surfs unite!
