As reported by Write Life Guide, Transitions Abroad is looking for writers for their website. Average rate is $1 per 10 words, at a maximum range of $150 for 1,500-3,000 edited words.
What do you guys think of the rate? Personally, I think it’s very appealing for so-called third-world countries like my own, where the minimum […]
b5media recently added some mobile blogging functionality to Contract Worker, so I’m trying my hand by writing this post on a cellphone.
It helps that I’m quite the prolific texter, since it lets me maintain a decent pace writing on a numeric keypad. Still, it’s quite tiring. Maybe if I used one of those phones […]
The catchy rhythm of 50 cent’s Ayo Technology has been streaming out of my laptop speakers lately, and while the hip-hop song is full of the misogynistic boastings that characterizes the genre, there is a hidden nugget that freelancers and contract workers can learn from.
During the chorus, Justin Timberlake chants: “I’m tired of using technology, […]
We’ve already talked about building a portfolio with personal projects, and I suddenly realized that our dreams are the perfect source for project ideas.
How many times have we dreamed about the perfect house, the perfect job, or even the perfect life? Surely we’re all working hard to make them a reality. In the meantime however, […]
You’ve probably read my posts on Free Fonts and More Free Fonts, but I’m sure you had a hard time looking through the catalogs I suggested.

It’s for this reason that I designed, and have occasionally taught, a “Special Topics” course called CW 198: Professional Writing, which teaches […]
Apparently, it was National Punctuation Day yesterday (if you were in the US). What’s really important for me isn’t the date, but the official website’s pages on the proper use of punctuation. And it even has a great passage from Ernest Hemingway:
“My attitude toward punctuation is that it ought to be as conventional as possible. […]
Any freelancer or contract worker should always work towards a desired future. This dream can be as noble as affecting genuine social change, or as basic as financial independence.
In the latter case, it helps to know the right skills. Here are three proficiencies I think will continue to enjoy a high demand from clients over […]
Just like anybody else online, clients usually rely on search engines to locate the information they need. More specifically: Where can I find a freelancer who can implement my project?
The chance for your blog or website of generating inquiries depends on your online profile’s visibility. Knowing how to write for search engines will make it […]
So you’ve met someone who knows what you’re worth, gives out genuinely interesting projects, and is apparently a joy to work for. Problem is, you think nothing on your portfolio is worth showcasing.
