    The Warriors for Hire section is great- it's how I got started.

    Then again, you gotta pay $20.

    You could always create a free blog at like Blogger or Weebly, put your service ad/letter/pay buttons there, link it to your WF sig, and drive traffic through your signature.

    Or go through freelancing sites like the ones mentoined above or Craigslist.

    If you're a "good writer" and you want to find work here, then you should make sure that the quality of your posts demonstrates your skills as a writer.

    Just saying, as they say.

      If I was going to start freelance writing and I didn't have money I would create a free wordpress blog showcasing my work. I would then use this forum and others to my advantage.

      First: I would offer to do some free writing work for a few people in return for testimonials. I would advertise this in my signature.
      Second: I would change the link in my signature offering work at a low price to get a few paying jobs and at the same time look for people requiring writer on here and other forums (digitalpoint/********** etc.)
      Third: Once I had made a bit of money I would pay $20 to put a thread in the Warriors for Hire section.

      Hope this helps. Good luck with everything.

    Put some samples up and do a listing in Warriors for Hire. I've hired numerous writers from there. It's a busy section.

    An easy way for a lot of beginner content writers to get there start is textbroker.com.

    If you can speak fairly good english then you shouldn't have trouble getting a 4 or 5 star rating right off the bat.

    I started in the Warriors for Hire section and did really well. I always made at LEAST $60-100 per time I bumped. I would bump my thread, finish all that work, usually get more gigs from the same clients, and bump my thread any time business slowed.

    If you aren't sure if you are up to par, which I know is an issue many have, try writing for sites like Textbroker and iWriter and see how high your approval and star ratings are.

    There are a few sites which will actually pay you to write articles for them......

    Triond
    Factoidz
    Yahoo content

    Also might be worth checking out Choose Income - $500/Day In The Next 24-72 Hours With Zero Outlay & Zero Experience there is a free video which shows you how to make around $5 per article with yahoo. For Yahoo you do need to live in the US though. The vid does cover worldwide but the money is not as good.

    personally i think the best way to write for money is to contact those PR marketing agencies. they are always in the look out for some one who can write some good style. no harm trying, better than those online stuff. i tried them, the pay out is miserable A decent article writing can bring u around $100 to $200 for a 1000 words article.

    fiverr.com, and other freelance sites, if you are good at writing write really good squidoo lenses, and hubpages in your free time, than you can monetize them.

    fiverr seems like a quick solution, but don't fall in the trap of believing your work is only worth $5 at a time.

    I wouldn't invest any more time in fiverr than it takes you to get some testimonials, then move to elance/freelancer where you can set your own rate and get paid what you deserve.

    Don't compete on price, compete on teh value you create for clients you write for.

    Read the copywriting forum threads and learn how to sell your work ethically, then you'll very quickly be able to raise your rate

    I would suggest Warriors for hire, its a great investment, $20 to start, and you will get way more than that if you play your cards right
    Fiverr.com is also a good idea...I have 2 gigs up on it though, and nothing sells -_-

    You could always write some plr for christmas items, like 10 most popular toys or 10 best gifts for teenagers. Then sell the plr packages here on the wf. People are gearing up for the holidays.

    A few people here have mentioned fiverr and although it does have it's uses I think for writing services you are best going to other places. After fees you'll come out with $4 and then you have to wait for your payment - there are simpler ways.
