#writingadvice Get yourself a keyboard, mouse, and monitor when you can afford it. Having a dedicated #WFH space for writing is more important than being able to write anywhere. Plus, you'll save money by making your own coffee, breakfast, lunch, etc...in a way it pays for itself

ChatGPT is a research project, not a product that will be available forever and especially wonโt always be free.
So maybe you shouldnโt be basing your entire persona or strategy around it.
Using Slack, Discord & Teams (AND) Asana, Trello, Monday, 365 & Google to communicate effectively...the freelance life involves a lot of juggling tabs and apps.
I understand that chat GPT makes writers a bit nervous...but it's a healthy reminder that great writing is a rare product that needs great service. Anybody can cook a steak, so why go to a 5 star restaurant?
@byJenAMiller Domain on GoDaddy with WordPress subscription. Very customizable with all the widgets and themes you can find. Can be overwhelming but once you find the right look and feel, it's great.
I'm not saying that freelancers shouldn't be entrepreneurs...I just wish there was a reasonable marketplace that doesn't nickel & dime profit from the labor...especially since those marketplaces do not support freelancers in any way. </rant>
<rant>Why is there no good service for freelancers? LinkedIn=terrible. Fiverr & Upwork=terrible. Nobody's figured out a way to get freelancers work without taking a percentage?
Small businesses need writers. They go through Upwork/Fiverr, get juiced up rates because they're monopolizing the middle. So then...small businesses spend more on freelance services than larger companies would?
