Returning to freelancing after a few years, is Upwork still the go-to for jobs?

Wait 5 sec.

Hi all. I freelanced successfully for nigh on 10 years as a copywriter but have spent the last few years in paid employment in a journalism-related field. Recently took a punt on a job I knew I would love,but paid less than what I was previously earning and I took it, reckoning that I could do some freelancing on the side where needed to boost my earnings. So here I am. I know the market is much tougher with the proliferation of AI, but I was wondering if it is still possible to make some part time income as a copywriter? I have a strong track record on Upwork with tens of thousands of proven earnings. Skills-wise I have done lots of technical B2B writing, both short form for blogs and long form for white papers etc. Also have plenty of UI writing experience and website microcopy. I specialised for a while in podcast scriptwriting, which I really enjoyed, and have also done a lot of YT body cam and courtroom scripting, though enjoyed this a lot less, and it was very time consuming. So I guess my question is how is the market? Is Upwork still the go-to place for work? Is this feasible?   submitted by   /u/FlamingHellNora [link]   [comments]
