Before, we proceed, a word from one of the sponsors of this week’s edition

All of your work. All in one place. Automatically.

How much time do you spend manually updating your portfolio? And how often is it still outdated?

Say goodbye to the hassle of constantly updating your portfolio. Authory creates a beautiful, self-updating portfolio that automatically pulls in your new articles as you publish them, no matter where.

And that’s not all: Authory also backs up all your published articles automatically, so you never have to worry about losing your work.

Join thousands of writers who already use Authory to impress potential clients and employers.

Now onto the gigs!

I include many full-time gigs and some roles that are not directly related to writing because these are opportunities for growth.

You may not be able to apply to these opportunities today but look for skills that are in demand and what you can learn to get there.

I am sure you’d learn something new if the job paid $150k-$250k a year.
