How To Find Good Freelance Writing Jobs

If you are in need of some fast money, and you are looking to make it online, then you should look into freelancing for others. With freelancing you can make anywhere between 10 to 20 bucks an hour depending on how fast you are and what the pay is. 

The only way you are going to make good money with freelancing is that you know how to write and type fast, or it will not be worth the time that you are spending into it. But that does not mean that you should not pursue it if you do not have those skills, because you can always learn. And what better way to get paid as you learn. Just make sure that the articles you write are of good quality so they will be accepted.

So How Can You Find Good Freelancing Jobs?

There are many jobs available and it may take some time to find something which will work for you. You just have to know what to look for, and only apply to jobs which are of interest to you. For example, if you are not interested in sports, then don't apply to any jobs which require you to cover sports topics. Rather apply for jobs where you have an interest in, or where you have some kind of knowledge in.

Try to look for jobs with an ongoing writing opportunity because this will save you the time of constantly looking for new writing jobs.

Another thing to keep in mind is the pay. A lot of freelance writers reside in third world countries where living expenses are less than what you spend for coffee and so they are able to write articles for next to nothing. 

People who outsource know this, and so a lot of the times they are only willing to pay no more than $1.00 for an article. Do not apply for these jobs if you live in America or any other place where living expenses are high. Keep looking until you find something that pays at least $5.00 per article. Even this, is low, but if you are new it may be a place to get started, as a lot of applications will ask for previous experience.

Some freelance recruiters will require that you send in a resume, but most are happy with just a writing sample so they can see what your style is, and whether or not you have what it takes to be a writer.
