Hi Elna, As a brand-spanking new writer sifting through the bewildering amounts of information on freelance writing can be quite daunting. Thank you for making the task a little easier.Reply to Clyde

These videos you’ve done are so helpful for new freelance writers. I’ve been freelancing for almost a year and I’ve found them helpful as well. I watched every single one of them and got some awesome takeaways from them. Thank you for taking the time to do them, Elna!Reply to Lisa

Aww, thanks so much Lisa. Doing video isn’t my strong suite. There’s where my introvert-ness comes out 🙂Reply to Elna

Hey Elna! I have been checking out ProBlogger, and you’re right there are lots of higher paying gigs. I tried to sign up for the freelancewriting.com one, and get on the morning coffee newsletter – but it says they are not accepting writers based in Canada? How did you get around this? Or perhaps is this something new since you’ve used this job board? Thanks, AleeReply to Alee

Hi Alee! That’s great. As for the Morning Coffee Newsletter, I take this as a weekly curated list in your inbox of job ads on their site. It doesn’t say that Canadians aren’t allowed to apply. That was were I found my first high-paying freelance writing client!Reply to Elna

On freelance writing.com? When I go there, it says to sign up and when I do that it gives me a message saying it’s not open to Canadians. But later on in was ablso to access the job listings when I go through the menu. Is this the site for the morning coffee newsletter?Reply to Alee

Hi Alee, Yeah, I haven’t signed up to just Freelancewriting.com. I signed up to their Morning Coffee Newsletter here: https://www.freelancewriting.com/newsletters/morning-coffee-jobs-newsletter/ Try that!Reply to Elna
