24% OF FULL-TIME FREELANCER WRITERS
WORK AT LEAST 25 HOURS PER WEEK.
Content writers work morning, noon, and night. They have
very flexible schedules as long as they meet deadlines.
65% OF PEOPLE START THEIR DAY
WITH A CUP OF COFFEE.
If you're a content writer, you're probably reaching for
that cup of Joe right from the time that you wake up.
A CONTENT WRITER PRACTICALLY
LIVES IN THEIR EMAIL INBOX.
205 billion emails are sent per day, and some days it
feels like 203 billion emails hit your inbox. Then you'll
have days where you receive no emails at all.
WHAT IS THEIR WORKLOAD LIKE?
The most skilled content writers are
booked months in advance—and some
even have a waiting list.
Content writers can be assigned specific topics by
clients, or they’re left to strategize topic ideas on their
own. A savvy content writer will use many resources to
discover useful and interesting topic ideas. A content
calendar helps keep many professional content writers
on track. The content calendar includes client names,
blog topics, due dates, publishing dates, and more.
When it’s time to write, a content
writer can write very high or very
low word counts per day.
An ad copywriter may only write 100 words
for a commercial, while a blogger can write
2,000 words to whip up a blog post.
EDITING:
Once content is complete, a content
writer will likely edit their own
work or pass it along to a trusted
professional editor.
The average content writer can expect to make around
$240 for an 8-hour work day, or roughly $30 per hour.
A creative blog writer will primarily use the
right side of their brain, which is responsible
for creative and artistic tasks.
The career of a content writer might not be for
everyone, but those who master it will find plenty
of work and make a lucrative living.

A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A
MASTERS OF THE WRITTEN (ONLINE) WORD
HERE’S AN INSIDE GLIMPSE INTO THEIR LIVES!
THE CONTENT WRITER’S WORKLOAD:
AN INSIDE LOOK
Different content writing styles will activate
different parts of the writer’s brain.
A technical writer who covers engineering
topics will use their left brain during the
most of the day. The left brain controls tasks
that are related to logic, such as science
and mathematics.
