Freelance writing jobs

Copy and content projects for writers who research deeply and write clearly — websites, landing pages, emails, articles, product and UX copy.

Writing work clients post

Writing jobs on Taskora include website and landing page copy, email sequences and newsletters, product descriptions for online stores, blog articles and long-form guides, case studies and whitepapers for B2B companies, UX writing and microcopy for apps, technical documentation, scripts for videos and podcasts, and ghostwriting for founders on LinkedIn. Many clients look for writers with knowledge of their industry — SaaS, finance, health, e-commerce — and pay more for it. Read briefs carefully for the real goal behind the request: an article meant to rank in search, a case study for sales teams and a founder post for LinkedIn need very different research, structure and tone, even when the word count is the same.

Writing in the age of AI tools

AI tools have made generic text cheap, so clients now pay for what they cannot generate: original research, customer insight, a distinctive voice, subject-matter expertise and editorial judgment. Many professional writers use AI for research summaries or variant ideas and are transparent about it. Position yourself around the thinking — interviews, angles, structure and accuracy — and show samples that could not have been produced by a prompt.

Samples and proposals

Show three to six samples of the type of writing you want to be hired for, each with context: the audience, the goal and what happened afterwards, such as rankings, signups or replies. In proposals, reference the client’s product and audience specifically, suggest an angle or a headline for their piece, and state your process: research, outline, draft, revisions. Clients shortlist writers who show they have already started thinking about the project. If you are building a new specialisation, publish two or three strong samples on your own site or profile first, clearly labelled as self-initiated, so clients can judge your writing in that area before hiring.

Pricing writing work

Writers price per project, per word or per hour. Per-project pricing is usually best for copy, where value depends on outcome rather than length: a landing page, a five-email sequence, a set of product descriptions. For articles, per-word or per-piece pricing is common. Include research and revision rounds in your price, and state what is out of scope, such as sourcing images or uploading content into the CMS. For new clients, a paid trial piece at your normal rate is a fair way to start; avoid unpaid test assignments, which rarely lead to good long-term work and undervalue your time.

Building recurring clients

Content and email are continuous needs. After a successful first project, propose a monthly package — for example, four articles and two newsletters — with a fixed monthly milestone. Ask clients for performance data and use it to suggest improvements. Writers who become the client’s trusted voice rarely need to send new proposals. Keep a short editorial calendar with each client so topics, deadlines and approvals are visible weeks in advance; it reduces last-minute requests and makes your work easier to plan and renew.

Specialisations that pay more

Writing rates vary widely by specialisation. Conversion copywriters who work on landing pages, sales pages and email flows are paid for results and can charge senior rates once they show measurable improvements. B2B writers with industry expertise — software, finance, healthcare, cybersecurity — command premiums because clients need accuracy as well as style. Technical writers who document APIs and products are in steady demand from software companies. UX writers who shape product interfaces and onboarding work closely with design teams and are often hired for long engagements. Ghostwriters for founders and executives build long-term relationships on trust and voice. Choose a specialisation that matches your background, name it in your headline, and build a portfolio of samples in that area. Clients searching for a specialist rarely shortlist a generalist, even a talented one.

How much do freelance writing jobs pay?

Hourly budgets typically range from $20–35 at entry level to $70–120 for senior copywriters. Landing pages commonly pay $300–900 and long-form articles $150–800.

Do I need to be a native speaker?

For most copywriting jobs, clients expect native or near-native fluency in the target language. Filter jobs by language where relevant.

Can I write in several languages?

Yes. List each language and your level on your profile. Multilingual writers are in demand for localisation and international campaigns.

Who owns the text?

Rights transfer to the client when the milestone is paid, under Taskora’s Terms. Ghostwritten work is published under the client’s name.

How many revisions should I include?

Two revision rounds per deliverable is standard. State it in your proposal and milestone descriptions.
