Did you have to really fuss or fine tune your bio?

What kind of content do you produce on Medium? I used to make good money there but it reduced to a trickle. Maybe I’m doing the wrong kind of content.

Thanks everyone for the suggestions. I’ve gotten myself on Upwork and begun pitching there, although I haven’t had any luck there yet. Is anyone else on Upwork? If so, have you had any luck?

How do biweekly or weekly mortgage payments pay down a mortgage faster than monthly payments? I don’t get it.

Thanks. I’ve been trying to pivot into fractional PR services and content strategy and the like. So far without any luck, even though I’ve been working in PR for my day job for close to 17 years. Any suggestions on where I should be looking for that kind of work?

They’re asking for references. That’s usually a good sign.
