The best high-paying freelance writing gigs of the week: June 29, 2020
Hey, No-fluffers! Time to hustle! The month is closing out and we’re heading into July so you need to make some moves to make sure that the new month is profitable. As always, I’m dishing out the best paying jobs of the week to help you out. These gigs pay at least $50 an article, offer a full-time salary, or pay more than $20 an hour. They are also all remote (also known as virtual jobs or work-from-home jobs). Be sure to check back each week for a new list of remote writing jobs. freelance jobs for writers.jpeg
Note: I don’t know anything about these positions other than what I post. I weed out the seedy looking ones, but it is your job to be diligent when applying. Also, please don’t message me with questions about the postings. If a link doesn’t work the posting has probably been taken down because the gig has been filled. If you have a gig for freelance writers that pays at least $50 a piece or over $20 an hour, please contact me and I will include your gig in next week’s post.
