10 Crazy Reasons Why You Should Hire Me As A Content Creator

October 24th 2024 was a very special day for me, both as a content creator and human being.

More precisely, it was the first day in 15 years when I had no job.

I should’ve been worried about it but, after 5500 days of non-stop grind and working for bosses on and off, me? I was booking some flights to Italy to celebrate my at least month-long sabbatical. I need this like you need a glass of cold water in the Sahara Desert. At noon. 

I needed a break… like, BADLY.

Although it was fun while it lasted, I decided to leave my current job without an actual plan for later. It’s not like you can have a plan as a content creator, in a market almost convinced AI will replace creators within a year or so.

Which is the same market that crashes on itself because it can’t reach new or current clients.

Because they post mediocre, AI-generated content on their platforms.

And then blame it on copywriters although they pay them peanuts.

Just… Ugh, bro. Ugh!

The Job Search

I am actually looking for a job now. I’ve been to 12.343 interviews and had 12.123 rejections after applying to about 21.290 or so jobs. I’m looking over two offers but to be honest, they’re not great. 

Companies want you to do the job of a marketing department but pay you half the salary of a shawarma master.

It’s concerning, to say the least. Yet for me, it’s just an eye-opener to start looking back at a time when I used to make tons of money with my skill.

I know writing. That’s a fact.

The proof is in my freelancing career, a 6-year timespan culminating with me earning over $400k in revenue. And although having a workplace for almost 2 years was okay, I never felt creatively satisfied.

Nor financially!

I always wanted more, not just pay but challenges.

I had no direction, no freedom to create, to write, to think, and to put my crazy ideas into practice.

Which is where you come in, friend!

Hi, welcome!

If you’re here for a content creation, marketing, or copywriting project, I’m Gabriel. I’ve been a journalist and content creator ever since I was 17. So about 15 years? It’s been both my passion and my job for a ridiculously long time. So ridiculous, in fact, I found 10 reasons why you should hire me as your on-the-side content creator, marketer, social media genie, you name it.

All of them are ridiculous!

1. I’m actually good at it

It’s hilarious for me to start with this, and also funny because it’s so blunt. In your face. But seriously, I’m tired of laidback resumes and hanging testimonials on your front page so that people won’t even read them. I’m really good at this. Over 15 years of content creation and marketing, my words have reached over 100 million people. If that’s not enough… goodbye, Jenna.

2. I know how to cook

Pasta is my speciality. I also make a mean burger. I have a lot of free time, at the moment, yes. This is why I’m searching for more work. And opening new businesses left and right. And seriously, would you rather have a freelance writer who makes you a supermarket burger? Fine, your loss.

3. I hit the gym

This is recent but people have started noticing it. I don’t lean forward when I walk, my shoulders covering my short neck. I have a posture now. And that’s important if your project is long. It makes it easier for me to write for longer now since my muscles are stronger. I also do rowing and my legs are killing me. Luckily I write with my hands.

4. I’m funny

I won the 2023 Comic of the Year award from the local Comics Association of Timisoara, my home city. Well, that is a made-up prize. I did see Eddie Griffin live, and that’s true! And all of those fancy Broadway shows, so that has to account for something… No? People say I’m funny, who knows?

5. I own a 2005 Opel Astra H

There’s nothing wrong with Felicia. I mean, look at that back!

Yet I want a Tesla by the time I’m 35. And I can’t buy a Tesla with the money these HR people are trying to give me as a “monthly compensation”. I can’t even buy enough diesel to satisfy Felicia, you feel me?!

6. I want to move to Italy

This can wait until after 35. Yet, I want to start making plans, looking for housing, and affording a place that’s near a train station so that I can go to Rome or Naples over the weekends. It’s not like on CNN, you can’t just buy a house for a dollar and then move in. That’s why I need clients like you, who are willing to invest in quality, life-lasting content and help make this dream a reality!

7. I hate ChatGPT

This is not even funny. I see professionals with decades of experience who are ADDICTED to this thing. The sad part is that they won’t write an email without it. A fu*king email! So yes, I’m not a fan. Not because it’s going to replace me one day. I’d thank “it” for that, to be honest. Early pension, and more time to enjoy Italy… yes. I despise it simply because people see it as a Messiah, a saviour, the ultimate tool for everything. When in fact, no, ChatGPT is not that. Try it! 

8. I made money from it

I paid for two apartments with freelancing money. And Felicia. And, I’ve been to 33 countries over 32 years of life solely with money earned from content creation. I don’t believe in testimonials, a portfolio or fancy websites. Anybody can come up with those. I follow the money. And my money says it loud and clear: I can write.

9. I’ve been to 33 countries

All paid for by my writing, if you weren’t paying attention, Josh. I am sure I’ve spent over $50.000 on trips so far in my life. And that’s all from content creation, marketing and freelance work. That alone is ridiculous. While my friends go on trips with their dad’s money, or because they’re influencers and Dove invited them to a 2-day trip by the sea, my travels are 100% my own making. And I’m proud of that. Very. I’ve been to America.

10. I own a Dyson

Spending $1.000 on a cleaning device reveals how passionate I am about keeping things nice and tidy. I incorporate this into my work as well. I never go past deadlines, as a content creator. and I’m always ready to reply to an email. Even if it’s the weekend and I’m in Venice. I have no boundaries when it comes to making hard-earned money. So if that’s what you need me to do, own a Dyson and reply to an email on a Saturday at 5 PM from Piazza San Marco? 

You got it, Jenna!
