Before we head to the last few sections of the newsletter, I thought I would share how I plan to run this newsletter in the future. 

Most newsletters usually hide opportunities behind a paywall, which can really hurt freelancers when the chips are down. Paying $5 or $8 a month, just to get a glimpse of an opportunity does not seem fair.

So, I want to run The Science Freelancer on a “Pass-it-On“ model, where freelancers who are doing well chip in. This month, it could be you; next month, it could be someone else.

Not a subscription, no commitment, just whatever you can give now.

One Coffee, Two Coffees, Three Coffees!

(More the coffees, lesser the Ads 🙂 )

A friendly reminder.

Each freelancer is unique and works differently. Some opportunities in this edition may not work for you, but they could be a perfect fit for another freelancer.

So, if you see a gig that is right up someone else’s alley, send this newsletter to your freelancer friend and earn some brownie points.

That’s it for this week.

New week, new opportunities!

Keep applying. We’ve got this!
