The Future of Freelancing

Reminder: #wclw chat today @ 10 am PT on freelancing & side jobs

Join us for today’s WordCount Last Wednesday writer chat, where we’ll be discussing the kinds of side gigs freelance writers have or want.

The chat takes place on at 10 a.m. Pacific time. Use the hashtag #wclw to join the conversation.

Questions for #wclw chat

For the 60-minute chat, we’ll start with introductions, move to some pre-set questions and leave time at the end for additional discussion.

Here are the questions:

  1. What jobs do you have in addition to freelance writing?
  2. Why are you a ‘slasher’ — are you doing it for love (passion) or money (purpose)?
  3. How do you juggle doing more than one type of work — what your day or week like?
  4. If you’re thinking about becoming a ‘slasher,’ what’s led you to want to try it?

How to join the #wclw chat

To join the #wclw chat, all you need is a Twitter account and free time from 10 to 11 a.m. PDT on July 25. Use the hashtag to follow tweets related to the chat. It’s possible to use the standard Twitter interface , but you might find it easier using a Twitter application such as TweetGrid, TweetChat or HootSuite. Of those three, my favorite is TweetChat, which you can log into using your Twitter account. You might want to alert followers that you’ll be tweeting more than usual during the chat, and suggest they use Muuter.com to temporarily mute you if they don’t want to tune into the conversation.

If you’re unable to join us, I’ll post a complete transcript of the chat this afternoon.
