lucycodex Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Since Fiverr took down my editing gig, I am at a loss as to what to replace it with, as I don’t want to reinstate the editing gig just to have it taken down again.I could make another writing gig, this time for another niche topic I know a bit about?I have been told by many that I should be on radio because of my voice, but I don’t have any good voice recording software outside of my cell phone. If I had a good mic and a good computer (I write using a Kindle Fire and a Bluetooth Keyboard) I would offer my fantastic and hip book-on-tape skills, but I don’t have the hardware.Maybe a “I’ll write a comment for you?” gig? Eh, I am not too fond of those…I am not sure what to make… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyaxrex Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Maybe just do a generic copywriting or content writing gig. I would say, though, that you should maybe think about investing in some new tech to expand your capabilities.I recently picked up a Surface 2 RT tablet for $100 on Ebay. Web browsing can be a bit limited as this whole line is discontinued. However, it comes with full office, has a 12-hour battery life, is lightening fast, and is a life saver for me writing on the go.Back to writing topics… Tech, real estate, and finance are big sellers for me at the mo. I don’t offer to write exclusively on these subjects, clients just come asking for articles on these themes. These subjects can involve a lot of research and be a bit of a headache but since they are popular niches for me, they could be for you too.Also, there is conspiracy related stuff. I used to get a lot of requests for this kind of writing and as far as I am aware, it’s a pretty untapped niche. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyaxrex Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Focus on getting a proper offline job for now; once you start getting a decent income, then you can supplement it with your online income.I dunno Writer. These things can be much easier said than done and every time I’ve taken the risk to keep on going with freelancing, it’s always paid off. The important thing to remember is that for many people to establish themselves, they need to go full time.I’d say people should go with their gut and what they feel is right for them. Today I’ve made $70. Here that is 12-14 hours working minimum wage. When I started in 2012, I made $50 a week and everyone told me I was a fool and should just get a real job again. If I’d listened to them, I wouldn’t have got here and I’m actually thankful for the struggle in a way…Not really, could have done without it actually but you get the gist.

More often than not, you either get what you don’t like, and you end up hating it, overall. At least I can choose what I want to do, when I am online.

Believe it or not, I worked for IBM in a past life, made a fraction of what I make right now. But I had somewhere to go to, a tag to wear, co-workers to talk to, have coffee or lunch with, it was a routine I liked, despite the low pay. Also that gave me at least some respectability. There’s no respect for “freelancer” or “writer” at least in India.

But everybody’s situation is different. I decided to become a freelancer and try to be an author and had a lot of savings to be able to afford to take time out of the rat race. You are fabulously wealthy and don’t even need to work if you don’t want to. I personally think that the OP is doing things right by working part time and venturing into going freelance.Also, nothing has to be about any level of status. Most people just want to be financially comfortable and happy. Moreover, even in stressful times freelancing, I’m way happier doing what I do now and think other people should be supported to do the same.Anyway, this is getting off topic. We need gig ideas.

I agree…In India, this is not what you do ‘respectfully’ and ‘after so many degrees.’ If you do not have a tag hanging from your neck, you are as good as nobody in the society!But then, I am learning to ignore this. I’m a Web Entrepreneur and that I am happy being.💡 Ting Tong! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
