Anyone else affected by the student loan forgiveness being struck down by the courts? I would've been FINALLY debt free - started with 45k and have 10k left...trying to brush it off but honestly I was really hoping they'd pass it by some miracle

@Leanna Lee - I had to do a factory reset on my computer which cleared my cache/cookies, so that may have triggered something?
I did appeal the decision (which led to the permanent restriction), but there's simply no way to contact customer service if you can't log in that I know of π

@Mark Burdon - Maybe it's picking up on an extension or something from your browser and thinking it's an attempt to automate answers?

Flow club is great for virtual coworking, like focusmate but instead of 1:1 you're with a group of people and a 'host' leading the group and playing music. Flow club is $40/month and focusmate is $10/mo. You may also want to look into coworking spaces which are around $150/mo - steep but you can always claim these as business expenses. Good luck @Shelby Sullivan!

hey @everyone and happy wednesday π sorry for the delay, Monday was a holiday πΊπΈ

I crowdsourced
β’ tips for independent research
β’ why you should write with a small audience in mind

P.S. Today's the last day for May's deal β
πΈπ May's member of the month is @Saloni Ordia, freelance content and copywriter here are her highlights:
Marketing advice β΄οΈ
Instead of just relying on keyword research tools, tap into the power of customer insights. Connect with your target audience directly via surveys, social media interactions, and customer interviews. A deep understanding of your audience is the starting point for making the best content.
With surveys, you can collect measurable data and assess client opinions, preferences, pain areas and feedback. Whilst they convey their requirements, you can tailor your content approach accordingly.
Customer interviews are more personalized, offering qualitative data which goes beyond the surface level of information. This qualitative knowledge enables you to develop content that connects with your audience on a more profound emotional level, resulting in a stronger relationship.
Tools I use everyday π§°
Semrush, Copyscape, Mixmax, What's my SERP, & Grammarly
Essential reading π

This question comes up a lot & is something I've unfortunately personally dealt with - Any tips for collecting outstanding payments from a client without burning the bridge?

I'm wondering about some of the most common red flags you see in freelancer contracts? Either from the client side or the freelancer site - what are some things to watch out for?

Once you develop a relationship with the editor at a particular place they might even send you ideas, which is why I say it can pay off
#freelance-gigs - May 26, 2023 at 03:24 PM
When I used to FT freelance I would read through their blog or the vertical they were asking for pitches in, then come up with a few ideas. It can be time consuming but in my experience works better than sending a generic message. Re:backlog, yes sometimes I would recycle old ideas that had been rejected/not responded to - but coming up with something new usually worked best
