It is generally during that mid-morning slump where we will reach for our phones in hope of reading a good article. A well-written post can educate us, make us laugh, and even give us a much-needed energy boost to help us get back to work.

As a people, we long for good content — so much so that now every major industry is focused on content creators. You might have a secret love for influencers, or maybe you just like reading about people who work in your industry. …

When you’re the kind of stoner who doesn’t really fit the traditional mold, your reserved friends tend to express surprise when they find out. Over the years, I’ve become fairly accustomed to those people apologetically saying I couldn’t really get into it.

In a social-media-fueled world, it is easy to look at content creators and think that they have the dream job. Who doesn’t want to be creative professionally, right?

While being a content creator can be pretty great, it demands productivity more than any other field I’ve worked in. To combat this and ensure that I’m able to promote my own brand, as well as the brands of my clients, I have to make sure that my productive time goes that extra mile.

Spoiler: it isn’t.

The idea that artists need to put themselves at financial risk and ignore the people that they love in favor of their craft is garbage. …

Recently, I had an interesting chat with a client. He was looking for more writers to add to his team — and like many, his searches led him to a popular freelance site. When he reached out, he asked about my pricing, and it really just all went downhill from there.
