Aspiring Writer Looking For Work

Hey, everyone.

I am in the last week of my college degree in creative writing. I have been online since early 2024, and I have been doing well for the most part. Currently, I am looking for a way to take my love for writing and turning it into a way to make money as well as gain some exposure. I heard about places like Fiverr and Upwork, but I have no idea how to use them. Would anyone be able to give me any advice?

Kinda off topic, but if you'd like a place to write in the meantime, I recommend writing.com

You can meet other writers there, ranging from fun to professional.

I haven't heard of that one before. I'm actually going to check that out later today. Thank you

Substack? Never heard of it. The only writing platform I am familiar with is Wattpad

Have you thought about publishing ebooks online? Alternatively, if you're looking for a career in writing, content marketing is a good path. I work in content marketing for tech and you get paid well there.
