Running a freelance business in the AI era has both challenges and opportunities.

In a world where tasks such as writing articles, designing graphics, and even producing music and video can be accomplished with a few well-crafted prompts, it’s natural to wonder if there will still be enough work to sustain freelance careers over the next five to ten years.

Freelance Against the Machine dives deeper into the risks and benefits of AI for content creators during transformational times. Consider it the ultimate guide for writers, editors, designers, videographers, illustrators, and other creative types who want to stay relevant and competitive as AI reshapes the content ecosystem.

Author Frederic Ruffy draws on more than two decades of experience in the freelance trenches—along with extensive research and hands-on experience with emerging AI tools—to show what it takes to build a resilient creative business in uncertain times.

This isn’t doom-and-gloom prophecy. And it’s not cheerleading for AI. It’s a grounded exploration of what’s changing, what new tools are emerging to help boost content creators, and what we can expect in the future.

The book also includes resources for finding gigs and sustaining a freelance business.
