In an earlier article I wrote about the entrepreneurial opportunities waiting for writers. The internet has a plethora of sites where writers can look for content writing gigs and hang their “writer for hire” sign. Below are a few sites to get started. Don’t forget to check out my other article: “Entrepreneur Ideas for Writers”
ODesk – is the place to hire and seek outsourcers. Employers go here to find freelancers of all types of skills. Writers can benefit from jobs where writing skills are required for composing blog posts, ghostwriting, reports, technical writing, fact-checking and more.
Craigslist.org – is the resource to advertise your flair for words and cruise postings in the gigs, creative, and job sections.
Jobs.problogger.net – Problogger.net is likely one of the forerunners of cashing in on blogging. The site has launched a job board chock full of writing opportunities.
Elance – Another freelancer site where a smart writer can keep her or his eye out for posts from employers as well as hang out their own “qualified writer for hire” sign.
Warrior Forum – an internet forum where aspiring and pro- internet marketers go to swap info, brag, and seek opportunities. There’s a section called ‘warrior products and services’ where folks can advertise their services. In the “warrior special offers” section – is great to drum up some new clients by offering a deal. The warrior forum does its best to ward off scammers so read up on the current rules before posting.
Site Point – is a forum dedicated to webmasters. Over in their marketplace, writers can advertise for content writing opportunities such as composing articles, ebooks, web-text and more.
eBay – eBay is for selling all types of stuff – and stuff includes services for hire. Put up an auction for a writing service. Gain attention by using popular keywords in the listing and headline. When the listing is live, bookmark it to social sites so more eyes can see your page.
