As more and more people convert to the work-from-home lifestyle and potentially plan their transition into digital nomadism, we are all looking for ways to connect with likeminded people. (And this during a time when it’s pretty hard to connect with anyone at all!) This past week, I took part in a virtual coworking retreat …
Let’s say you’ve looked around the internet for freelance writing clients. You’ve done a few jobs on Fiverr or Upwork here and there, but you’re feeling discouraged.
