Is Your Writing at Risk of Being Replaced by AI?

We often hear, “AI won’t replace writers....writers can never be replaced by AI"

But let’s face the hard truth—AI is already replacing certain types of writing, and it’s likely to accelerate in 2025.

What Writing is Being Replaced by AI?

simple blog posts
Product descriptions
Technical writing
some kind of academic writer

If you’ve checked freelance platforms or job boards lately, you might have noticed a decline in demand for these services.

Advanced AI tools are making it easier for businesses to automate them.

What Should You Do?

If you’re currently focused on these niches, now is the time to explore other areas of writing that AI can’t easily replicate:

Emotionally-driven storytelling
Strategic content marketing
Investigative journalism
Persuasive copywriting
SEO optimized
Case studies e.t.c

Adapt and stay ahead by focusing on writing skills that require creativity, critical thinking, and a human touch.

Client Red Flags Every Freelance Writer Should Watch Out For 🚩

Not all clients are worth your time. Some can drain your energy, delay payments, or leave you frustrated.

As a freelance writer, knowing the red flags of a bad client can save you a lot of stress (and money)! Here are some warning signs to look out for—and how to avoid them:

1️⃣ Vague or Unrealistic Expectations
A client who says, “I don’t know what I want, but I’ll know it when I see it” is a walking headache. Without clear goals, your project will likely drag on forever.

👉 Solution: Insist on a detailed project brief before you start. If they can’t provide one, it’s a sign to walk away.

2️⃣ They Haggle Too Much on Price
“Can you lower your rate? I found someone cheaper.” Clients who push too hard on pricing often undervalue your work—and might cause payment problems later.

👉 Solution: Stand firm on your rates and explain the value you offer. If they can’t respect that, they’re not your ideal client.

3️⃣ Poor Communication
If they take days (or weeks) to respond during the negotiation phase, imagine what it’ll be like when you need feedback during the project.

👉 Solution: Set clear communication expectations upfront. If they ghost you repeatedly, that’s a deal-breaker.

4️⃣ “Exposure” Instead of Payment

“You’ll get great exposure!” Exposure doesn’t pay bills, and clients who offer this rarely value your work.
👉 Solution: Politely decline and stick to clients who respect your time and skills enough to pay fairly.

5️⃣ Past Negative Reviews
Check forums, reviews, or freelancer groups to see if others have had bad experiences with the client.

👉 Solution: Trust your fellow freelancers—if others are complaining, run the other way.

⚡ Pro Tip: Always use a contract!

It protects you from scope creep, payment delays, and misunderstandings. If a client resists signing a contract, that’s your cue to leave.

Have you ever dealt with a bad client?

Some writers would rather settle for 1 Naira or 2 Naira per word writing gigs.

Why? Isn't that an insult to your intellectual capacity?

Most times, these so-called clients get these writing gigs from abroad and get paid in foreign currencies, only to outsource them for peanuts— leaving writers who did all the hard work shortchanged and exploited.

An absolute rip-off and wickedness!

Don’t be the writer who gets ripped off. It is time to stop letting heartless clients take advantage of your skills.

Discover how you can earn in foreign currencies too and call the bu****it of those who offer ridiculous amounts for your writing skills.
