Niche Question About Content Writing

[KafkaF]

So, I'm currently so depressed that I struggle to do much of anything, including get out of bed. And I'm not even sure how much planning for the future matters considering that I hope to be dead in the near future. That being said, I also haven't been able to CTB yet. And so I feel I have to prepare in some way for the possibility that I won't be able to do it.

To that end, I'm trying to find some way to make money. Due to my own mental peculiarities, there are at least two requirements here though: The job must be remote and the job must have flexible hours. This being the case, I think being a freelancer of some kind is probably what I'm most well-suited for.

I also have a long background in writing and and I studied psychology. And so it seems to me that freelance content writing is a good area to get into.

That being said, I'm not sure exactly how to do this. And so I was wondering... is there anyone on this forum who knows anything about this or has ever worked as a freelance content writer or copywriter?

From what I've heard, anything to do with writing is really tough to get into right now because of how saturated the market is. All I can recommend from my own experience is freelance transcription/subtitling work, like Rev. Fairly easy if you're a good typist, just doesn't have the best pay/time ratio. It's been years since I did it though so I'm not sure how much AI has changed the game. If I don't CTB soon I might have to try something similar too, I just quit my job yesterday because I can't function anymore...
