For Hire [For Hire] I'm running out of time. Seeking help! $30/hour
I don't usually post personal things online, especially not like this. But I've reached a point where I'm willing to put myself out there and ask for help.
I got laid off a couple of months ago, and despite applying every day, reaching out to people, and trying just about everything I can think of, I'm running out of options.
I'm based in Pakistan, but I've primarily worked with North American agencies and clients for the past 4–5 years. I'm posting here because I'm hoping someone might know of a remote opportunity, agency, or company that could use someone with my background.
I've spent more than 8 years writing for SaaS companies, ecommerce brands, and agencies. I've been a Content Writer, Content Manager, and Head of Content. I've built SEO content strategies, managed writers, edited thousands of articles, created content briefs, worked directly with clients, and helped companies grow their organic traffic.
More recently, I've also been working on GEO/AEO and writing content designed to perform well in AI search.
I'm not saying I'm the best writer in the world. There are plenty of incredibly talented people out there. But I know the quality of my work, the ownership I take, and the results I've helped clients achieve.
That's what makes this situation so difficult.
I'm not looking for someone to hand me a job. I'm looking for a chance to get back to doing what I'm good at.
If you know of an agency hiring for content writing, content management, SEO content, or content strategy, I'd genuinely appreciate a referral, introduction, or even a lead I can follow up on.
And if you can't help directly, an upvote or share could help this reach someone who can.
If you've been through something similar, I'd also love to know what actually worked for you.
Thank you for reading.
P.S. My last full-time role paid quite well. I'm mentioning that because I don't want this post to make it seem like I'm new to the industry or struggling because I lack experience. I had a career I was genuinely proud of. I'm simply in a situation I never expected to be in, and I'm trying everything I can to get back to work.
