Hi, I'm keen to make a few hundred extra per month, and enjoy writing. I do spend about 80% of my day job writing in some form, so have experience. I did a degree in English Lit five years ago, and have about the equivalent experience in terms of years. Areas I'm experienced in:
Blog writing
Social media copy
Internal comms
News stories (less confident in this area)
Email campaigns and push notifications
Newsletters
I was on UpWork and did a few pieces on there, but they are often to tight deadlines so it can be tricky to handle alongside a dayjob. I do currently work freelance for one place VERY sporadically. I enjoy the work, but to be honest, after researching, writing and reviewing I probably only come out with £10 an hour, maybe a bit less. But it's very flexible, just as and when I want to write something I can.
Has anyone had any luck with organisations that perhaps pay a bit better per hour, but are quite flexible? As in, not six hour deadlines 😠I'm not looking to freelance full time, but just would just like to make a little extra money doing something I enjoy!
