What Every Writer Needs to Know About Finding Freelance Work
Finding a freelance writing job can sometimes be full-time work (with no over-time pay!). If you're going to seek out freelance work, you need to work smarter, not harder. In this article, I will list several valuable resources for freelance content writers. I truly hope this article helps you.
FORUMS
Do a Google search for 'writing forum' and the list will be pages upon pages. Forget the frustration and don't waste your time searching for a writer's forums. Here is a list of forums that have plenty of established writers willing to help you in your writing journey:
WAHM is a message board that has a wealth of resources for any type of home worker. For writers, there is a WAHM's Who Write folder. You'll need to scroll down about halfway on the page to find this writing-focused folder.
The Absolute Write Water Cooler forum is where you'll find freelance writing markets, as well as experienced magazine writers and book authors who can answer your questions.
All Freelance is a rather new writing forum, but looks very promising. The people here are very helpful and there is a high-paying list of writer's markets updated almost daily.
BLOGS
There are a number of blogs on the Internet that are maintained by writers. Some of these blogs list freelancing writing gigs, scams, and other tidbits of use to writers. Below are a couple of my favorites, and they are both worth visiting on a daily basis. Be sure to check out the ads on these blogs, as they sometimes lead to useful writing sites (and will give the blogger a little bit of well-deserved cash in the process).
Freelance Writing Jobs is a well-respected blog. Deb Ng, the poster, lists dozens of freelance writing leads on almost a daily basis.
Engaging Pages is another blog that lists freelance writing leads on a daily basis. This blog is maintained by your truly. The list of writing gigs here isn't as plentiful as on Deb Ng's blog, but they are unique. I enjoy sharing little-known freelance writing gigs I come across while surfing the 'Net. I only post gigs that pay a decent rate, at least five cents per word (and usually much higher than that).
These five aforementioned writing-related sites should be plenty to look at for now. As a freelance writer starting out, don't overwhelm yourself. When you go to each of these five sites, you'll come across other resources for writers. It's easy to get spend an entire day on these sites, soaking up all the advice and information they contain. Be sure to bookmark the important sites in an organized fashion (trust me on this one!).
Good luck with your job search, fellow writers!
