Writing is my talent and passion and I need a freelance part time income flow.

Which magazines (Jewish) take pieces? Which ones can I actually get through? What about websites? Stories? I have a lot of pieces I’ve written for fun. Please please share sources asap.

Out of the box suggestion - try signing up for data annotations. They have you train AI. There is some writing and a lot of editing. Their application involves creative writing, I love writing and had fun doing it. Didn’t get accepted though.

It’s hard to get accepted but if you do, I imagine it’s more reliable and probably even pays better than frum magazines which are also hard to get into.

All the Jewish magazines are always looking for pieces. They have specific things they're looking for. To understand, read a bunch of what they have. They all sound alike.

It's not so hard to get accepted, but they're looking for something specific each of them.

I hope you get in! If you don’t, they don’t update you. You just wait and realize at some point that you weren’t accepted.

I dont know of any site like data annotations. I complete studies on prolific and cloud connect research which is also fun but different and less well paying.

It is what it is...
You need to think of the magazines not as a platform, but as a client. A poorly paying client at that.

I didn't mean it negatively. It's a certain genre and that's what they publish. It's what their readers expect. It's what their editors work with. If you come up with something brilliant and unconventional and interesting but not their genre, they're not usually going to publish it.

You're right and you're wrong. If its a genre that still fits in their particular hashkafic box (which varies by publication) they 100% will publish it (if it's actually brilliant and interesting that is Smile

The writers I know who send in pieces can wait months for it to be accepted. It’s not reliable income at all.

True but once you become an established writer at one publication it all goes much faster.

No not really. Unless you are an official writer who gets a paycheck instead of a pay per article.

Yes, they tell you the pay for each project and you choose if you want to work on it or not. It’s a minimum of $20 an hour for regular working and $40 an hour for computer programming work.

So I got accepted but I was doing the onboarding and my husband was very uncomfortable with all of it. He was worried that it's a scam Sad

So that's out I guess

Omigosh I’m so jealous! I wish I got in.

It’s not a scam. Check out the data annotations subreddit where people share their experiences using the site - https://www.reddit.com/r/dataa.....2sNBf

It would be so silly to give up on earning easy money like this because your husband is anxious and thinks it’s a scam without any evidence. Do some research.
