Where Can I Find People Who Need Articles Written?

Hi

By posting a WSO it would be to offer warriors a lower price (special offer) that you wouldn't normally offer to your other customers. It doesn't mean that you offer your services ONLY to warriors.

You can offer an exclusive offer to Warriors by giving them special prices or an article writing bundle that you don't offer anywhere else for instance.

People generally would like to see some examples of ones you've already written as well.

People have made good income and reputation from writing for people on the WF, so it's a great place to start.

Good luck.

(PS. sorry, I don't require any just at the moment!)

Hi,

You can see the requirements in some of the freelancing sites like elance.com, rentacoder.com apart from warrior forums. I think you can make money online just by writing articles...

Oops...I posted as someone else did, and they answered my question!

Hi

In that case, I agree it wouldn't suit you.

However, if you offered a bundle, like Tim says, it gives you the chance to show some samples and get some testimonials.

The first place I always look for article writers is in the WSO section or the section with warriors for hire and I generally pay around $5-$6 an article as I have seen what they do and they have come highly recommended.

Otherwise, have you done a google search?

Hope that helps.

Yes, I've done a google search, but nearly everything that I can find requires you to bid, submit a portfolio, and so on.

I'm not comfortable with giving samples and such because people will use you for free content and that's wrong. It's happened before, and what's really sad is that I see it happen to other people all too often.

As far as showing a portfolio, I'd have to get permission from previous clients before showcasing my work. I don't do articles for one person and then reuse them later. All of my clients receive exclusive rights to the articles they get from me, so it would be their decision to allow me to include anything.

And on top of that, with the bidding sites and such, it takes a few days to secure a project, which is not good, IMO. What I'm searching for is a way to find work now.

Do you have a list of existing clients that you've done work for in the past?

I would remind them that I can still write for them and even ask for referrals. Give them a slight discount on further writing services if they send referrals your way.

Start with what you have. It's always easier to use what client base you already have than getting new customers.

Are you just wanting to write articles or are you open to paid blogging as well? If so, you may be able to find some work here - Jobs for Bloggers - ProBlogger Job Board

I don't agree with that statement at all.

Warrior Special Offers are offers for this forum only that you don't offer to anyone else, even if just for a limited time.

And I think that by being as rigid as you are that you're missing a very valuable opportunity by NOT posting a WSO. I have been able to make several profitable relationships with some of the top Warriors on this board with my writing services and these relationships have also extended into other opportunities as well.

A WSO can be the springboard to a lot more than just writing articles or just writing for someone else. I think that you're being a bit close-minded about it. Be open minded. Give it a try, see how it works for you. If you don't like it, don't do it again. Try building relationships.

Want an example of an article writing WSO gone REALLY good? Just ask Brian McElroy. That's basically how he started and now he's got everyone and their brother emailing their lists about Overnight Product Creation.

Not to burst your bubble, but so will some Warriors here. Some interpret a WSO to be your best work for dirt cheap. On the other hand, some will buy you WSO to see how good you are and seriously consider you for higher paying writing projects.

If you decide to do a WSO, make the guidelines clear up front. You can still charge your regular rate for an article, but you'll need to add benefits to that regular rate (more articles, article submission to 10 article directories, etc.). Set your WSO guidelines and stick to them. Be clear what the word count will be for the price and stick to that.

Hope this helps!

What other forums are there that I can find people who need articles written? Any suggestions are appreciated.

Good advice here. Generally what I've found in searching (haven't actually used a service, as I like to write) is that you can have articles written for @ five bucks. It might be hard to sell your services--especially without samples--for more. Your quality might be much better, but without samples, your potential customers won't know that. Don't be afraid to be generous, for particularly online, it is one of the keys to credibility.
Good luck.

Another thing, if someone could please explain WHY I would or should post my article writing service as a WSO, it would be appreciated. My understanding of WSOs is that they are supposed to be EXCLUSIVE offers for Warriors. My article writing services don't vary from one person to the next, so that seems inappropriate. Does anyone else agree with that statement? >>

As an article writer who currently has a WSO running, I can tell you that it's just a matter of offering a better deal than usual. I have regular rates that I charge per article, and then special WSO rates. It's no different from any other product or service --you are offering a better than usual price.

BTW, do you have any video creation WSOs going on right now? I remember your last special, but if you have another, I'd like to check it out!

some place called... Warrior Forum...

I've actually been trying to get in over at DP, and they are having technical errors. Any other good forums that anyone can suggest?

Besides DP, there's SitePoint. However, I find DP is more active than SP in terms of selling services.

But again, WF is still the best among all :-)

Post a WSO, digitpoint forum, e-lance. People who are interested in your services will usually be on the lookout there. Just make sure you provide samples of your work.

Every niche forum owner will be looking for people to write for them. The first time I wrote online was for a niche forum, where the owners contacted me to ask if I would be interested in a project. That was before I had a writing business online, before anyone asks

1) Forums like W, DP and BHW, sitepoint, webmastertalk
2) Offer services on sites like elance.com getafreelancer.com etc..there are MANY sites where services can be offered.
3) ads on CL or Kijiji

# 1) ALONE should give you plenty and plenty of work, however, note that as a writer and submitter you need to establish rep and a name first.

Try scriptlance.com you can get work there quite easy, but not sure about your prices as i have a writer that does a 1000 article for $4 for me and he quite good, so good luck hope you get your asking price

Go to ifreelance.com get access to 1000's of buyers in
need of your professional services. You will have to bid
for the work, but if your work is good and you can
deliver on time you will get plenty of work out of there.

PS: Also try offerring your service on ebay.com

Next time she offers it, I would suggest that you sign up for Bev Clement's class. I am in it and it is very good. PM her and I am sure she will let you know when the next one is.
