Find the freelance writing jobs you've been looking for


You'd be amazed at how many freelance writing jobs are out there.
If you are a writer, there are many , many jobs out there for you. And if you are not a writer,

I highly recommend that you think about becoming one!


There are so many opportunities out there (and thus many opportunities for a good income) that I would suggest you check out your local community college as they have many classes that can get you
started.


Many of these freelance assignments do not require someone who has a degree although that is always preferred as is experience in the writing field.

However, there are always ways around that.


(One way around this is to offer to write a few articles for an online magazine, publication, blog, etc for free just to be able to put that article in your writer's "portfolio", or to get your foot in the door)


Then you can honestly say that you are experienced as a freelance writer and you can even point potential employers to your published article for reference! Easy as pie.

Many people think that writing as a career will lead you down only 2 avenues:

Writing books

and

Writing as a journalist (for newspapers or magazines)


The truth is that there are so
many freelance writing jobs out there for the taking.


Here are some examples of what I mean:


Writing ads

Writing blogs

(for people who don't have time to write their own blog posts)

Book reviews

Brochures

ebooks

E-newsletters for individuals or companies

Greeting cards

How-to-writing

Menus

Professional speeches

Public relations

Proposal writing

Resumes

Sports writing

Technical writing

Writing for the government

Telemarketing scripts


I have just scratched the surface. This is just the tip of the iceberg guys. Everything you read (newspapers, magazines, ads, blogs, training manuals, etc) has an author and this field is ripe with possibilities!



A great book that I would recommend if you are just starting out in freelance writing is Bob Bly's:

Getting Started as a Freelance Writer
