Comments on: Freelance job sites for copywriters – the 2016 review https://www.procopywriters.co.uk/2016/10/job-sites/ Join the UK’s largest membership organisation for commercial writers Thu, 03 Nov 2016 10:55:18 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.4.3 By: Claire Kerr https://www.procopywriters.co.uk/2016/10/job-sites/#comment-26445 Thu, 03 Nov 2016 10:55:18 +0000 http://procopywriters.wpengine.com/?p=7168#comment-26445 I’m a marketing consultant who has only just realised (after 28 years!) that my role is all about copywriting. With room currently for one extra client, I’ve been spending some time on some of these freelance sites, especially PPH. I have to say that I completely agree that the sheer number of responses is huge, and within ten minutes of a brief going up, it’s common for more than 10 pitches to have been sent. And the pricing is so low sometimes too.

Having said that, I have won profitable work and clients on PPH and on another site, but do resent the fees taken by PPH. It seems unfair for my client to pay extra after the initial job has been done, when PPH is no longer doing anything for that fee.
