Back to Work

March 12, 2010
By Gregory

I am back to work after a week stay in the hospital. That came on quickly and was a surprise. My focus on Elance and Guru worked. I did find out that bidding on old jobs is pretty useless. The jobs where the client actually offers are usually done fairly quickly, so bidding on...

January 15, 2010
By Gregory

After a year of looking at ways to make a living as a copywriter or writing in general, especially on the Internet, I have decided to focus now on Elance. It the only place where I have earned any money. I will also try Get A Freelancer, a similar bidding, if simpler, online site....

I resign

November 4, 2009
By Gregory

I resigned for the very first time a copywriting  job that I was working on. One of the clients, a young and seemingly foolish man, insulted me after I asked him for a few bullet points so I could write the copy for his project. So goodbye and so long. It happens to every...

Project Complete

September 3, 2009

Online writing does not pay that much but it pays more than doing nothing, and I am gaining both experience and building a portfolio. I also wrote two radio scripts yesterday. I enjoyed doing that.

Job Done

August 29, 2009
By Gregory

I finished the first job and got paid for it. I figure I made about $23 a hour for it. That is a long way from my goal of $75 a hour but online writing does not pay well. I’d settle for half of that $75 but I don’t think I can get it....

Another Online Job

August 26, 2009
By Gregory

I won another online writing job yesterday. It is work, and I am grateful for it, but the compensation is certainly not near what I know freelance B2B writers earn. I am still working toward that goal. My experience is not uncommon from reading blogs and websites about freelance writing today. del.icio.us Tags: online,copywriting
