I am a freelance writer can someone recommend me some credible sites to get projects?
January 222010
I have more than three years of experience in editing corporate press releases, varying from quarterly reports, mergers, acquisitions, major contracts etc.. i am also actively involved in writing entertainment articles, general news articles. kindly let me know if there are some exciting opportunites wherein i can write and earn from home. Kindly give me the contacts of credible sources…
First things first, create a web site that looks clean, clear, professional and attractive. Since you’re a writer make sure your text is ABSOLUTELY flawless. People want to know more about who you are, what you do, what you’ve done, your credentials, your experience, etc and a web site is the way to go. Trust me, if you don’t have one create one or have someone create one for you. Even if you have to pay for it it will be totally worth it.
Then, go to CL (Craigslist):
http://losangeles.craigslist.org/
Well, you pick your city and you go on your left to two categories principally: "Writing/editing" in Jobs and "Writing" in Gigs. You can also, no should also go to "Creative" and "Lessons". Depending on where you live there might be other interesting web sites but CL is the most famous, most used and most trusted I believe.
You don’t just look for ads, you put your own ad on CL offering your services. Since you’re a writer write a text that will make people want to try you and not your competitors. (It is a tought market)
Since you will be working from home don’t just check your city but all big cities and see what’s available and where you would like to post.
You can also check out this web site: http://www.ifreelance.com/
Good luck and if it’s taking a little longer than you would have wanted it to at first, please don’t give up as the outcome will be great! Especially if you can get a regular big client. Sometimes, one big one is enough.

Go on Craigslist.org every day and look under the category JOBS: "writing/editing" for each state. There are many freelance jobs there, and you’ll most likely get several jobs. Try it!

I am a freelancer and make a good living working from home or actually from wherever in this world I want, as long as I have my laptop and a wireless Internet connection to be able to meet my deadlines.
