Today’s guest post is by Allison K Williams ( @guerillamemoir ). Join her on the weekend of July 20–21 for the online intensive class Zero-to-Platform Bootcamp. For many writers, platform is a dirty word. You hear “platform” and think selling and shilling and sacrificing privacy. You think of precious writing moments sucked into the gaping maw of social media.

I still hear people saying things like, “AI can never write as well as a human copywriter.” Or, “I asked ChatGPT to write an article, and it was terrible.” Respectfully, these people are missing the point. Just because AI can’t entirely replace the full set of skills of a human writer doesn’t mean it can’t be valuable. Look at this through a different lens… Look at AI as an assistant who can help you with very specific tasks along your existing workflow as a writer.

When you start freelancing, you might feel like your clients are like employers. But this mindset can cause issues, as it overlooks the real nature of your client relationships. Clients aren’t bound to you beyond the specific terms agreed upon for each project. Therefore, it’s crucial to forge a strong relationship with your clients, possibly even more than an employee would with an employer.
