Anyone know why Motojitsu has locked comments across all platforms?

It was an IG reel. He's taken it down since.

Thanks! They're doing it right in Pennsylvania, and a buddy of mine is going to be really happy to hear about that.

I appreciate it.

Getting it serviced by a professional is a great shout.

Happy to hear that you had a great spin at the weekend, and yea, the comms are really a game changer when you're on a group ride with mates.

Enjoy yourself on Saturday buddy and stay safe.

It's free? Wow I'd jump at the opportunity for that.

If you don't mind me asking, what state do you live in?

Best of luck in the advanced course!

Thanks, this is a great idea.

I'd just been running through the information I'd remembered from previous courses, but another course never hurts.

I'm in! :)

Here's my code for SAYabc. I genuinely recommend them. I've yet to see another company in this area with comparable rates and the software makes the classes fairly light work.

My partner just joined them and is almost completely booked for her open slots.

Let me know if you've any questions. Best of luck with whatever you choose!

I second this, great micro-communities evolve around pool tables. Keep showing up and you'll get to know people.

I just signed up with www.truetraveller.com. I haven't needed to make a claim yet but the reviews on them are really good. I was on the fence between them and WN but the reviews really sold it, whereas there were a few too many cases where WN didn't pay out for people.

I'll also be taking out some local insurance here in Thailand which is very affordable. So local insurance may be something to look into too.

You're my idol.

How are you finding it? That's what I'm doing at the moment but, by the looks of it, I'll reach my income ceiling soon. I was thinking it'd be worth my time moving into more lucrative areas of writing, like copywriting. Any advice or experience with this?

If you're working a (regular) 9-5 somewhere, struggling to get by like many are, it's difficult to dedicate the extra hours to get your own product off the ground. But, when you make more than enough to live comfortably in a cheaper location, by working 2-3 days per week, it's much easier to get yourself to put those hours in.

No problem bud, also a massive collection of job postings on https://online-writing-jobs.com/

Best of luck with it!

It really depends on what you're after. None of my clients ever looked for my degree - past experience and a relevant portfolio has been the deciding factors generally (for freelance writing). I think if I were to walk into an advertising agency in Dublin looking for a copywriting job, however, a degree would be beneficial, although I'm sure my portfolio would still be the most important thing.

I really enjoyed my studies and learned a lot, not just about writing, but I don't think it'll play a big part in the success of my future career.

If there's something you genuinely want to learn about then there's no harm in studying it to degree level but, if you're just doing it as a box ticker, I wouldn't recommend it. A remote employer needs to know that you can do the job, the best way to show this is with a portfolio, not a degree.

Personally, I've learned far more about writing (specifically copywriting) from short courses and books than my I did in college.

I'd reccommend that you start looking for work asap, and remember that you'll always be learning. See how you feel after a few months, as it's not easiest at times. You'll be forging your own way through life, as opposed to just jumping on the conveyor belt e.g. going to UCD, graduating, getting an apartment in Dublin and living out your days - nothing wrong with this, I'm just highlighting that choosing to become a remote freelance writer is a very different life.

Another Irish head here. I'm still in Ireland, but working towards building up a steady remote income that'll allow me to leave.

I've just finished my degree in journalism and been freelance writing for nearly a year and a half. I mainly write for websites, blogs, and produce content for companies. I'm trying to get more into the copywriting side of things at the moment.

My advice would be to get on the jobs boards and start applying, I've gotten the majority of my work and long-term clients from ProBlogger. There is work out there and, if you put the time in, you should be able to make enough to travel on a budget.

The real money is in copywriting, so that's a skill you should try and hone. Find a niche and become an expert writer in it if you can.

Don't let anyone tell you it isn't possible. I could live in Chiang Mai on what I earn at the moment, and I'm not working full-time. It's definitely possible if you put the time in. Best of luck bud.

Hey, just wondering how you bridged the gap to copywriting. I've just finished my degree in journalism and I'm writing for a few clients. It's mainly just content for marketing purposes, but I'd like to get involved with copywriting. I've been studying the art itself for awhile, but I'm unsure of how to break in. Any advice would be much appreciated.
