Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between freelance and contract writing?+
Freelance writers typically work project-by-project, often for multiple clients, billing per piece or per project. Contract writers usually work for one client on a fixed-term agreement (3 months, 6 months, etc.) with hourly or weekly pay. CozyJobs lists both.
How much do freelance writing jobs pay?+
Per-piece pay ranges from $0.10 per word for entry-level blog work to $2.00+ per word for established writers at major publications. Per-project rates run $200–$5,000 depending on scope. Hourly contract writing typically pays $40–$150/hour. Pay is disclosed on most CozyJobs listings.
Do I need clips or a portfolio to apply?+
Most listings request a portfolio or 2–3 writing samples. Newer writers can substitute a strong personal blog, Substack, or self-published work. CozyJobs lists some entry-level roles that don't require traditional clips.
Are there ongoing freelance writing gigs vs. one-off projects?+
Both. Some listings are one-time articles or projects; others are ongoing retainers (e.g., 4 articles per month). The listing description specifies which.
Where do CozyJobs listings come from?+
Listings are aggregated daily from employer career sites, major ATS platforms (Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workday, iCIMS, SmartRecruiters, and more), and direct submissions from companies. Automated quality filters remove volunteer/unpaid roles and known aggregator domains so what surfaces is paid, real work.
Is CozyJobs free to use?+
Browsing and creating an account are free. To unlock full job descriptions, apply links, and AI-tailored applications, choose a paid plan starting at the Lite tier. See pricing at cozyjobs.ai/pricing.
