How to Use ChatGPT to Find Freelance Work
Many of my friends and former colleagues are looking for new freelance work right now. I figure whatever gives you a boost is worth trying.
I keep an eye out for opportunities all the time. And when I tried Deep Research and ChatGPT 4o, I found 3 jobs I have not seen pop up on LinkedIn.
Here's what I asked:
"Research influencer marketing tools that are looking for freelance content writers or editors."
Replace the industry type with your own niche. (Not the best prompt I've ever written, but I didn't expect it to work.)
Here's what ChatGPT found for me. Company names, links, and contact details have been removed:
Job Opportunities
| Company | Opportunity | Role |
|---|---|---|
| Digital marketing & influencer | Freelance Content Writer | Creating high-quality content (articles, blogs, web copy, etc.) and marketing copy. Requires strong writing skills, SEO knowledge, and ability to meet deadlines. Focus on storytelling and engaging content across platforms. |
| Influencer marketing & PR | Freelance Content Writer/ Creator | Writing SEO-optimized articles, product descriptions, and social media content for brand campaigns. Involves blogging, copywriting and content creation in influencer marketing campaigns. (Flexible remote role.) |
| Video-first digital & influencer marketing | Freelance Content Writer (Contributor) | Contribute to content projects on a freelance basis. Work may include blog articles, campaign copy, and creative content for clients' influencer marketing campaigns. Welcomes remote freelancers to join their content team (via their Careers & Freelance Partnerships contact form). |
These are all real jobs, although one had closed when I checked it.
That's likely down to cached search results rather than a hallucination - the link was correct.
I hope this helps someone find opportunities that they may not have found via normal freelance portals or social media sites.
(Just a quick one today due to end of quarter deadlines. Back to normal next week!)
