Your trip that private blog entries or articles are as worthwhile as those published in major magazines was huge. Thank you for that.

Excellent video! Regarding sending an email to editors: What do you send? A link? A PDF sample? Both?
k j k always a link unless it was a print mag sample!
Very helpful, positive and practical. I've even signed up to Twitter (and followed your account ;)). I'm based in the UK so I'm not sure what opportunities, if any, that you share are open to me here. Any tips for writers across the pond would be appreciated.
thank you so much for watching! I do retweet opportunities from everywhere so hopefully there will be some that apply to you! Also if you sign up for Sonia's newsletter she includes UK pubs as well.
Why don't you go for online platforms such as fiver and upwork
@@hassanwaqar1883 the rates on those platforms are often super low and you’d need to take on a ton of projects there to make it worth your time. Not a bad option for someone new though
I guess it's building a brand more then anything else, I've seen a lot of people, especially on Upwork, earning hundred dollars per hour-- if you consider earning a hundred dollars an hour worth it. Also, yes it's hard work and low wages in the start but gets easier when you cross that 1 k barrier.
@@hassanwaqar1883 that makes sense! I’ve never looked too much into them personally I’ve just heard from other writers that they had more profitable gigs elsewhere. Thanks for the insights!
I would like to know if I pith an editorial staff and they don't reply to me within a week (or 5 days), I am considered rejected? I would like to know how long I need to wait before I can move on to pith the next editor.
Not necessarily! I would definitely follow up
Does popsugar pay its writers?
I believe they do, but if you submit through their voices platform you often have to submit the full piece and see if they accept it and if they don't I don't think there's any payment involved.
@@AustenTosone Thanks for the info. ☺
Girl, you talk FAST!!! LOL!! Is that how fast they talk in the city? I've been there a million times and never talked to someone...well I was a tourist so maybe its different. What's a magazine office like? What's the culture like? Is it exciting?
