Why Now is the Perfect Time to Become a Freelance Tech Writer

There is no better time to switch niche and become a freelance tech writer.

If you’re struggling, you’re not alone. With COVID-19 bringing a lot of freelance contracts screeching to a halt and leaving millions of businesses wondering what lies ahead, the future has never been more uncertain.

I’ve seen successful freelancers go from a packed out schedule to bone dry in a matter of days with no end in sight.

The sheer number of freelancers furloughing themselves and taking the government up on their offer of 80% salary shows just how many people are struggling.

It’s a scary time.

But this uncertainty has also presented a ton of opportunity for freelancers. Sometimes we need a little shake up to reassess where we’re at and decide what the next best steps are.

Maybe, like me, you were cruising along, comfortable, but not really thinking ahead. But now you’ve been forced to come face to face with reality and make some difficult decisions.
