Freelance Writer

I’m looking to ‘break into’ freelance writing. I know there are a lot of scams out there for work-at-home or writing jobs…how can I tell if a job or job site is legitimate? Do you know of any sites or listings that *are* real, or anywhere else I can look? I’ve seen some that link to craigslist, but I am rather suspicious for some reason.

Try visiting freelance blog or forums where you can join the freelancing community such as http://freelanceswitch.com/. They offer great advice for people hoping to get into the freelance business. You could even potentially find legitimate freelance opportunities through these blogs/forums. Good luck! Also, when breaking into freelance.

Having worked in PR writing press releases and newsletters for some years, I am now looking to make a little extra on the side. Any idea where I can find this sort of work?

Go a Google search : I found some offers even though I had no interest in such

Hi, i want contacts of magazines in India which accepts freelance writing…preferably a name and email id would be great.

hey dear search on google.com you would get much good information….

I’ve been writing for several years and was wondering how to find jobs/get paid for writing?
I don’t know where to begin looking for/getting jobs since everywhere I have looked seems to want experience before they’ll hire anyone. This seems like a catch 22, since the only way to get work experience is to get jobs , and the only way to get jobs is to have experience. Can anyone please give me some advice? Thanks
also, can anyone tell me about pay pal/ getting paid provided I do get any jobs?

For freelance writing, a most important ‘experience’ is the portfolio of your writing samples.

Here’s how you go about getting freelance work:

1. Create a portfolio of articles in your areas of expertise and interest.

2. Write a letter through e-mail to companies and or the editors of newspapers / magazines, expressing interest that you want to work as a freelance content writer and or to contribute articles to their publications.

3. Attach to the e-mail one or more of your best writing samples. If the company / editors like your writing, they will contact you.

4. Register for freelance writing work at sites like getafreelancer.com, guru.com, and elance.com

5. Create a website and put your best writing samples on it.

6. Submit free articles to sites like ezine.com. At the end of each article, include a bio and a link back to your website.

Of all the types of freelance writing, freelance technical writing perhaps gives you the greatest income. Interested? Find more info at: http://tinyurl.com/techl-writing

I’m an online copywriter with 2 years experience in SEO and SEM copywriting, 8 years in journalism, and 4 years in advertising and PR writing. I heard there are a lot of opportunities online for writers like me. Where can I find them?

Try posting on craigslist ubder services in the sections "computers" and "small business ads." Also search their writing and computer jobs and gigs sections. Since you can work from home you can search all the cities and countries. Go to: http://www.boston.craigslist.org and look for cities that interest you on the right.

Good luck

I have experience writing, newsletters for work, and a few things for some organizations I belong to, but I’ve never tried to do anything for money and it is something I would like to try. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

choose a niche market, market with a website, direct calls and an email newsletter. Check out this example (mine, of course): http://www.eldervantage.com
