Need advice... Real warriors only

28 replies
Hey warriors, I wanted to know where do people think the best place for a freelancer is to get work at? I know that there are alot of places out there, but which place would be the easiest to get work. I am a great writer, and can do data entry plus many other things as well. I freelance because I need paypal money and I know this is the only way, so I stop marketing and doing other methods for right now. Can some warriors give me some advice?

    OK Off the top of my head for immediacy there is...here
    Digital point perhaps?
    Fiverr.com for real rock bottom cash but you might be able to drum up a couple of real loss leaders depending upon circumstances. I've taken on a few freelancers on Fiverr.com and turned them into more regular suppliers and happily paid more as the work improves. Pay peanuts and you get monkeys and all that.

    Also there is Rent a Coder.com and elance.com.

    Is that enough to get you started?

    Well, I'm not sure what your selection criteria for "real warriors" are, but I'll take a swing at it anyway.

    Using this very forum, you can do several things.

    1. Post an ad in the Warriors for Hire section here:
    Warriors For Hire

    2. Post an ad in the Classified Ads section here:
    Warrior Forum Classified Ads

    3. Make an insane offer in the WSO section here:
    Warrior Special Offers Forum

    4. Add a signature to your profile advertising your services.

    If you want to launch quickly, make your offer something people would be STUPID to pass up.

    You mention writing, so do a really good deal for writing articles, a PLR book, whatever you're most comfortable with.

    Hope it helps!

      So, you want answers from everyone? Including the crack pots?

      Give me a minute, and I will go find the crack pots, although they will probably find you on their own...

        This is great advice, as Maddi alluded to in his post. There's only one detail missing here.

        First, before you can do anything beyond adding a signature to your profile, you need to be a paid member:

        http://www.warriorforum.com/warrior-...id-status.html

        It's one of the best $37 I've spent in a long time!

        Okay, that's not quite right. See post #24 below: http://www.warriorforum.com/main-int...ml#post3295995

        Not all of them came out, but enough of them did to make it worthwhile.

            I'm absolutely positive that is what I was told.

            Poking around, looking for confirmation, I don't see that requirement. Looks like you just pay your $20 after your thread is approved, and you're good to go.

            Same is true for Classified Ads.

            Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go clean the egg off my face...

      Dan's content is irregularly read by handfuls of people. Join the elite few by reading his blog: dcrBlogs.com, following him on Twitter: dcrTweets.com or reading his fiction: dcrWrites.com but NOT by Clicking Here!

      Dan also writes content for hire, but you can't afford him anyway.

    Constant Content’s guidelines are complicated. It’s not a simple matter to be approved there. CC keeps rejecting articles if they are not excellent. The payment is very good - through Paypal in 15 days if you prefer. You can sell an article for $20 - $50 giving full rights.

    If you need help with their guidelines send me a message. I’ll show you what to do so that your articles will always be accepted.

    I am not a real warrior so don't pay attention to this post.

    I suggest should proof read any posts where you claim to be a great writer and the proceed to make grammatical errors in run on sentences.

    The Warrior Forum is a great place to offer your service
    for starter, in fact, I think you might already be getting
    PMs from other members for work upon seeing this thread.

    Then there's Fiverr.com for providing a low price job.

    Other high quality places would be elance.com, rentacoder.com,
    guru.com.
