Freelance writer earning $275,000/year
- PragmaticPulp 6y agoThese headlines are always so disappointingly misleading. From the article: > Varies annually, but I'm invoicing anywhere between $175-275K per year on average. YTD, I've invoiced $258,170.57. I'm a freelance writer and subject matter expert with a small team 3-4 of subcontractors who help with production and research. Invoicing $275K/year (gross revenue) and paying a team of 3-4 subcontractors is hardly equivalent to someone earning $275K/year. These articles would be vastly more interesting and helpful if the people involved could simply break down their actual earnings. People always want to see how a business works. It's not helpful to read about stories where the actual interesting numbers are deliberately omitted to produce a better clickbait title. Also, this interview is full of weird softball questions like "What is your gender and ethnicity?" and "Where do you live?" . Would have been far more interesting if they had covered how the person gets leads, how they network, and so on. It's not really helpful to know that "Organization" is a skill that helps this person thrive at work.
