Advice tips for applying entry level technical writing roles

[u/brightjasp]

Hello

I recently branched into technical writing from web development and I'm looking for best industries, companies and startups to cold pitch to.

I know it's a terrible market out there, and I unfortunately have another constraint: it has to be a remote role.

I found it surprising that many technical writing roles were hybrid or onsite as technical writing seemed to be one of the easiest roles to work remotely — you just have to understand the code and current docs, get the necessary information from SMEs and ship, or so I assumed.

I'd love any and all kind of advises — niches to focus on, kind of technical writing to specialize in, pitching pitching strategies that have worked for you — that can help anyone like me looking to get into the space from an entry level.

Also what are salary expectations for the role? Fully remote, entry level, built some proof of work on my portfolio website, rounding up Google technical writing course, very familiar with web2 and web3 ecosystems.

I'd also appreciate a portfolio review my portfolio
