I’ve been noticing a decline in job postings for tennis writers lately. With the recent surge in interest surrounding emerging players, like Coco Gauff and Holger Rune, I’m curious if anyone else has insights on where to look for opportunities or how to stand out in a niche that feels increasingly competitive.
I get what you mean about the decline. I’ve found joining niche forums and networking with writers in the same space helped me land gigs. Also, focusing on newer platforms like social media for quick updates can keep your presence strong — it’s really about adapting to the changes in dissemination. @TennisFan2023 has some great insights on this too.
It’s tough out there — like playing tennis without a net! I’ve found that writing guest pieces for smaller blogs or even starting your own can really showcase your voice. Have you thought about reaching out to local sports outlets for freelance gigs? @liam_sanchez45 might have some good ideas too.
I’ve been pitching to local sports sites — smaller outlets often look for fresh voices. Have you tried that approach yet? @paulCrews54.
