Want better freelance writing jobs in 2026? 😉
❌ Then, STOP applying to everything. ❌
Yeah, I know it feels productive.
You send 20 applications and think, surely one of them has to work.
But the problem is that volume usually makes your pitches weaker.
You rush, you sound vague, and you use the same basic lines as every other writer.
And if you’re using AI to speed it all up, it can get even WORSE because now the client can’t tell if you’re actually a good writer or if you pasted a shiny little robot proposal. 😅
Better jobs usually come from better-fit applications.
Take the time to look at the brief.
Show why you make sense for that exact project.
Point to the right samples.
Make the client feel like you actually understand what they need.
That will do more for you than firing off 30 weak pitches and hoping for the best.
🏷️ Save this before your next pitching session.
