If you had to make a minimum of 1000-1500 a month and had these skills how would you package them up? Or what would you do? I can't decide if I need to retrain.
Copywriting - SEO and web copy as well as magazine writing in a previous life
Social media management - running accounts for brands
I'm also an okay iPhone photographer and have experience in styling photos with budget props and backgrounds to make them look professional
I was a freelancer before Covid but now all of my clients have said they can't afford to take me back and are taking social and copywriting in house. As I specialise in small businesses and have for the last ten years (big companies tend to use abencies) I think this will be the same across the board.
I used to do transcription but found it very time consuming for little pay. The magazine work is also badly paid and to be honest, few and far between now. I still pick up the occasional piece but the amount of work required is a lot and often the pieces get pulled before publication so you don't see your full fee anyway.
I feel completely lost with my career. My skills seem like they should be transferrable but I don't know what to do with them.
Anyone got any advice? What would you do in this situation?
Even if I can't make the 1500, anything is better than nothing.
