Default What are the top freelance sites where people can find writing jobs?

Off the top of my head I can think of:

Are there many others?


Thanks.

You might want to check out odesk.com.

Elance and Guru are the biggest of the lot. Some freelancers have found great success with Rentacoder and getafreelancer.com.

Others include:

ifreelance.com
directfreelance.com
online-writing-jobs.com
freelancewritinggigs.com

I hope this helps.

Ash

VirtualVocations.com is a membership site (I think it's $14.95 a month) that has lots of work from home opportunities in a number of fields. About a quarter of their offerings are for writers. The people who advertise through VV are not IMers, but they need IM content. They seem to pay quite a bit better than people in the IM niche. It's not uncommon to find articles at 5 cents a word there. Some of the jobs are one-offs, but others want a steady flow of content. Other than the monthly membership fee, there are no fees to apply for any jobs.

Hi Mcomb,

Here are more

If you think you can write and sell them off royalty free:

  • dailyarticle.com
  • constant-content.com
Among the two, I found dailyarticle.com simply amazing.

Some good places to learn more about telecommuting:

  • Freelance Switch
  • telecommuter.com/
Wish you the very best

Ash

Also, search for demand studios. They are in charge of sites like ehow.com They pay like $15 per 400 word article, and approve new writers pretty quickly. At least with them, you can expect immediate work.

Lol I came to this thread expecting to recommend demand studios. And, of course, the post a few minutes before me beats me to it...
