Where To Search For Online Freelance Article Writing Jobs


Freelance writing has come to the fore; and evolved from the jurisdiction of journalism into the ubiquity of online sites. Since there are millions of sites floating on the web; the work required from freelance writers are almost infinite.

However, you do not get a job purely because the job is there to be done. You need to find the channels to reach the process towards getting the job. Here is from where you get online freelance writing jobs –

  1. Individual contractors – Google ‘copyrighting job required’ and you will get connected with many individuals who offer such jobs. They will post the types of work they will offer and the payment they will deliver. They will also suggest ways to contact them; either through call or mail. You can proceed and apply for jobs with them. Get in personal touch and be frank with your capabilities. There is a problem though; there may be a few black sheep lurking in the crowd. Thus, it is better to take small assignments in the beginning until you get to understand the style of the contractor.
  2. Global online work platform – This is the safest route towards getting online freelance writing jobs. You need to pass tests; create profile and apply for work to different contractors in your genre. You will be assured of payments if you connect with contractors whose payment statuses are verified. You will have to labor hard to get the first assignments though, as contractors tend to ignore first-timers.
  3. Facebook assistance – Be active on your Facebook profile; make friends and a lot of them. Suggest that you are a freelancer in your profile and keep advertising your requirement for jobs. Request those in your network to find work for you. Very soon, you will hear from somebody who is in a position to satisfy you.
  4. Create as site – This is one of the expensive ways to get work. Create a site and place your profile as a freelancer. Upload some of your blogs on relevant topics and keep updating. You may also use Google Analytical tools to get visibility. This way, when contractors get to search for freelancers, they will come across your site and know of your existence as an option.

A point to remember

Remember that merely getting online writing jobs is not enough. You have to keep doing justice to the assignments and deliver it within the deadline. You cannot compromise with the originality, method and quality of your work.
