10 places for beginners and 5 for advanced freelance writing jobs
In any career, you have to have a starting point. In writing jobs too.
This massive freelancing guide is coming to an end. Below is a list of 10 places where you can find writing jobs, which is extremely important.
Spend a lot of time on these sites and apply for every job that comes your way to become a freelance writer.
Upwork
Already been mentioned several times in this article. With its advantages and disadvantages, Upwork is, without a doubt, a source of work and the most popular freelancing platform, according to many parameters. Many people find their first job as writers on Upwork - and they include me and many of the people I've worked with and trained with.
Freelancer.com
Freelancer.com is another important online platform for freelancers and has lots of job listings. Apart from a few minor differences in how the platforms work (such as the fees they charge), there is a small difference between them.
PeoplePerHour
Another place to look for a job as a freelancer. PeoplePerHour is based in the UK but has global money and a global workforce of registered freelancers. He will soon have an in-depth review of PeoplePerHour, written by a writer who has won a lot of work on the platform.
Websites for finding a freelance job
I mentioned the three big job boards for freelancers above, but there are many more, with new ones popping up all the time. See this list of job boards for more options.
ProBlogger Jobs
ProBlogger Jobs is one of my favorite resources. I used the platform to find writers for my projects, as well as to find work for others. To eliminate "bottom feed" and "cheapskates," ProBlogger Jobs charges you to pay for ads. There aren't many jobs here, but they're always worth a look.
Freelance Writing Jobs
Freelance Writing Jobs is posting new writing opportunities every day. In addition to large job boards such as Indeed, they come from a variety of other online sources. If you would rather have a substantial monthly salary than work on the project, you will occasionally find a full-time job here, in addition to the occasional freelance concert.
WriteJobs
I can find writing jobs on WriteJobs, as well as competition information and submission information, which is updated regularly. There is also a Write Jobs Plus service, which charges a fee and hides some job details. At the time of writing, I have not used the premium service, so I cannot guarantee it.
FlexJobs
FlexJobs is a well-known platform for remote and flexible work, occasionally there are opportunities for freelance writers to post their work there. But subscriptions are incredibly cheap, so I wouldn't rule it out as a place to look for online writing jobs for beginners. It would only take one high-paying concert on the platform to justify the fee for a monthly subscription.
LinkedIn has not helped me get a lot of online writing gigs, but it has sometimes led me in the right direction. It depends a lot on how long you are on the platform and how many "friends" you have. LinkedIn is a platform that should not be ignored if you are looking for a job.
BloggingPro
This is another resource for freelance writers looking for work, this data is in the form of blog posts. Aside from ProBlogger, it doesn't seem to pay for advertising, but it could still be your first job.
Where to look for experienced freelance writers?
As a beginner, you may be wondering where to go after you have established yourself as an expert in the field and have built a strong portfolio of work.
I will start by saying that many of the websites mentioned above still have opportunities for experienced writers to find work. In the Upwork Marketplace, for example, some entry-level freelancers charge $ 5 an hour, and experienced freelancers charge $ 150 an hour - and there are for everyone.
However, until you gain more experience, you shouldn't try to visit certain locations. Once your writing career begins, here are some places to look out for. Paying customers is the norm on these platforms and it's not uncommon to see familiar product names.
Clear voice
ClearVoice is a content platform where you need to apply and have a strong portfolio to be considered. Instead of searching through job descriptions, you will be faced with a presentation or presentation for specific tasks that match your skills and interests. ClearVoice has been a reliable source of well-paid writing for me for several years.
SkyWord
A platform similar to SkyWord, offers the opportunity to write some of the most famous for some of the world. Salaries are not always consistent, but if there are good samples and you are ready to take your writing to the next level, this is a good option to consider.
Contently
Most people are familiar with Contently as a place to build a writing portfolio. As a network of talent, Contently plays an additional role.
It's a very "by invitation only" situation. "If you're good for our customers, you'll hear from us," says the Contently website. I haven't heard from them in a long time, but you can always set up a portfolio there - nothing is lost!
nDash
nDash draws me very much to his unique approach. There are a lot of ideas on the platform and you can present them at any time ... based on very specific information that they provide. On nDash, I managed to work with some high quality buys that are expected to pay me fairly.
MediaBistro
The writing papers can be found on MediaBistro, a job panel that covers all aspects of media.
There are two things to keep in mind: first, there are a few reputable company jobs here and others that are full-time positions (employees) as well as freelancers. There is also a strong US bias for listings. It might be worth a look at MediaBistro when it comes time to try your hand at one of the media giants. NBC and Hearst were both there when I was last checked.
Conclusion
There is a lot of information about starting a freelance writing career for beginners.
However, if you are willing to do this methodically and work it out, you already know what to do after reading this guide.
As I mentioned at the beginning, the most common question is about my experience as a freelance writer. A lot of people are wondering about that, but I know I'm not doing anything about it. But you have to start somewhere if you want to make progress.
P.S. If you like to read while drinking coffee, you can offer me a coffee too.
