Best High-Paying Freelance Gigs of the Week: July 22, 2019
Here’s this week’s work-from-home freelance writing jobs. These gigs pay at least $50 a piece, offer a full-time salary, or pay more than $25 an hour. Each one is labeled as a remote job, virtual job or work-from-home job, which means you can do the work from anywhere.
Also, here are 30+ sites that pay writers for articles, so be sure to check that out.
Note: I don’t know anything about these positions other than what I post. I weed out the seedy looking ones, but it is your job to be diligent when applying. Also, please don’t message me with questions about the postings. If a link doesn’t work the posting has probably been taken down because the gig has been filled. If you have a gig for freelance writers that pays at least $50 a peice or over $25 an hour, please contact me and I will include your gig in next week’s post.

Looking for Ideas
Pay: $1 per word
More information: FFWD is a new publication, and we’re always looking for story ideas
Feel you have something to add to the dialogue around online video? Want to write for FFWD? We’d love to hear your pitches.
What is FFWD?
Think of it like The Economist for online video (meaning at the minute YouTube, Twitch and TikTok), looking at the bigger trends and putting them into all-important context, explaining to readers what their wider impact is for society and how this shifts the way we work, earn money, and spend our time.
The publication will lead the conversation on things that I and others who know this space say are going to become big, while also acknowledging that perhaps trying to see outside of the online video bubble can be hard.
We won’t just up content daily for the sake of it, and focusing on fringe creators in a facile way. Stories need to be more in-depth than the current state of coverage of online video.
What do you want?
We’re running three stories (between 1,000–1,500 words) a week.
The best way to describe it is that the weekly reporting takes on big themes and trends in the online video space and look intelligently at its broader impact; when something warrants it and we have something useful to say, we’ll do a contextualising story on events as and when they happen, while also always taking the conversation on; or starting a whole new conversation.
If something breaks during the week, we’ll be looking for smart takes that go beyond what mainstream publications are doing, explaining why this is important.
How do I pitch?
Send me a brief summary of what you’d like to write about, including who you’d talk to and what you’d say! I’m at stokel@gmail.com and always happy to receive pitches.
