Could AI replace content writers? It’s a fear I often hear from aspiring remote writers and less so from those actually in the field and rarely from the most experienced, expert writers.
I’ve personally had several clients ask me to research various AI services for them to see if the services might be useful for me and I’ve tried some of the services as well.
The reasoning below explains why I believe my job is safe, but the same can’t necessarily be said for all types of writers at all levels of expertise.
Let’s take a look at what AI can and can’t currently do.
Writing is one of the most common freelancer occupations and it lends itself to remote work. As long as you have decent internet access, you can write and converse with clients from anywhere.
My writing career has been freelance and remote from the start. I’ve written across the United States and in fourteen other countries.
Other people considering becoming freelance writers often wonder whether it's worth leaving a traditional job to become freelance workers. While it's easy to share my personal experience with freelance work, sharing freelance writing statistics (and other freelancing statistics) can sometimes be more useful.
Freelance statistics show you a broader picture of freelance work. If you’re a remote, freelance writer, or want to become one, consider the following statistics about the freelancing workforce, remote workers, and digital nomads.
My old Upwork profile shows my first writing gig was five years ago. I earned $24. It was a flat rate for a piece that ended up being 623 words, so less than 4 cents per word. It took me about two and half hours, so hourly it was about $9.60 per hour.
Today, several of my clients pay me a flat rate for pieces that come out to around $150/hour. So how did I get here? Is this achievable for other writers?
Every remote writer’s journey is different and some people reach their goal rate in different ways, so remember, this is just one path you can take. I truly believe writing is a valuable skill worthy of high wages.
Ukrainian Content Writer & Digital Marketer Bohdan Dovhaliuk is proof that remote writing can be a safe career, even during times of war. Below he explains how he started up his writing career describes how his workload has increased (rather than decreased) while his country is at war, and provides tips for new writers.
We’ve all heard the cliché of writers working in coffee shops. If you’re a writer, or aspire to be one, you may wonder if there are actually any benefits to working in a coffee shop. And if you want to try it out, are there certain etiquette rules to follow? How do you know which coffee shops are best? I’ve done my fair share of writing in coffee shops around the world and have learned a lot about the pros and cons of working in them, the unspoken expectations, and how to gauge if a spot is conducive to writing.
How Writers & Designers Can Collaborate Better to Create Killer Content
A blog post with perfectly crafted copy and deliberate design makes for a pleasant reading experience. This holds true for blog posts, websites, apps, and more. Unfortunately, you can have an all-star writer and equally talented designer, but if they can’t communicate well with each other, your content will never reach the next level. Writing and designing are different skills, but they complement each other beautifully.
