Thread on X
I've read about 2,000 freelance writing job posts this year. The good ones have 3 things in common:
1. A named editor, not “the team”.
2. A rate in the post. If they hide it, it's low.
3. A clear brief: word count, audience, deadline.
Skip anything missing two of the three.
We share the ones that pass every Monday in my writers' community. Link's on my profile.
The rule: Teaches one thing. The product gets one soft line, in the last post only.
