writing jobs for beginners

“Why did this work out so well? It wasn’t worth Alan’s time for that price, but it was worth my time, because I wanted the experience. I needed clients to gain experience and get better. I got my clients with his endorsement and supervision.” — Dan Lok

So how do you start such an arrangement?

It’s not easy, and there’s no direct path. But your best bet is to buy one of their courses or products. As mentioned earlier, when you become their student, they become invested in your success.

9. Reverse-Engineer Writing Samples From Job Ads

Ultimately, most clients don’t care about your experience or credentials. They just want a freelance writer who can complete their assignment and get results.

Your job is to convince them YOU are that freelance writer.

And the best way to convince them you can do the assignment is… to do the assignment.

Most job ads ask for relevant writing samples. When applying to these ads, most freelancers provide similar writing samples.

In other words, they provide articles they wrote for another client that sort of match what the ad is looking for, but not really. Unless they’ve written for an identical client before, their writing samples will be a bit off.

You can immediately differentiate yourself from other applicants and increase your odds of getting hired by creating a writing sample tailor-made for each client.

Start by finding job ads on job sites like Upwork.

Don’t just look for any old job. Get specific with your search criteria to find ideal jobs — jobs that are in your niche, about subjects that interest you, and offer to pay premium prices.

When you come across an ideal job description, study it from top to bottom. Make note of everything the client is looking for in a writer and the assignment.

Reverse-engineer writing samples from job ads

Then brainstorm ideas for articles that perfectly match what the client wants. If necessary, research tactics and techniques for creating such content.

For example, in the screenshot above, the client is seeking someone who can “write about boring, dry, technical topics.” You could Google, “how to write about boring topics”, then apply what you find to your sample article.

Select your strongest idea and write it. Try to pick a short, simple idea that won’t take too much time to write. Otherwise, the client may hire someone else before you finish.

Finally, apply to the job and submit your tailor-made content as a writing sample. You can either publish the article on a free site like Medium or submit it with your application as a Microsoft Word or Google Doc.

The best part of this strategy?

Even if the client doesn’t hire you, you’ll still walk away with a strong writing sample to add to your portfolio. And if you repeat this process, you’ll quickly build a portfolio of writing samples that are super-relevant to your ideal clients.

10. Pitch Every Service You’ve Used in the Last Year

If you’re a beginner freelance writer, one of the best places to find writing gigs is with the companies/products you already use.

They make great potential clients because:

In fact, you should include these points in your pitch.

Start by making a list of every product/service you’ve used in the last year. This can include gyms, hair salons, landscapers, etc.

Visit their websites and perform a content audit:

Are there problems with their web copy you could offer to improve?

Do they have a regularly-updated blog? Could you contribute to it in an impactful way? Could you help them target certain keywords with their content?

Basically, you’re trying to match the services you offer with the content they need.

While you may be able to convince these companies to start a blog , the best targets are companies that understand the importance of content marketing and invest in it accordingly.

Once you’ve identified your targets and how you can help them, send an email to someone on their marketing team offering your services.

Your pitch should mention you’ve used their product/service and love it, as well as the fact you’re a member of their target market and will be able to effectively influence their audience.

Offer to work for a price you think they can afford, based on your research. You may not get paid top-dollar initially, but the real goal is to establish a working relationship, get steady work, and contribute to your portfolio.

By sending out 30 such emails, Julie Wilson was able to generate over $1,000 in her first month employing this strategy.

11. Write Tutorials for Products You’ve Used

However, this technique differs because it involves writing articles on spec — creating articles for free before you pitch them.

Make a list of products you’ve used that fall into your freelance writing niche. For example, if you want to become a SaaS writer, make a list of software you use or have used in the past.

Visit the websites of these companies to determine if they’re good prospects. Look for companies with well-established, regularly-updated blogs.

Check to see if they have submission guidelines, which will give you information on the type of content they’re looking for and let you know if they hire freelance writers and/or accept guest posts.

Then write a tutorial (that includes a thorough product description) on how to use their product to achieve a desired result. If possible, create a case study describing the results you achieved with the product and how you did so.

Contact someone in the company via email or LinkedIn. Tell them you’re about to publish the article on Medium (or some other blog) and were wondering if:

Even if they don’t buy the article, you’ll add another writing sample to your portfolio while establishing a relationship with a potential client who may keep you in mind for future work.

12. Find and Fix Weak/Old Content

By now, we’ve established the benefit of demonstrating your value to potential clients in advance.

Another way to demonstrate value is by improving their weak, flawed, or outdated content.

You’d be surprised by how many influential, well-established organizations have flawed web content.

Often, these organizations are so preoccupied with creating new content they overlook small errors or forget to update their content to meet new developments.

By identifying weak spots and fixing them for free, you can establish a relationship with a potential client that gets your foot in the door.

Of course, you shouldn’t just visit hundreds of random websites hoping to find bad copy or content. Think of how time-consuming and unbearably boring that would be.

Instead, make a list of 10 to 20 blogs, companies, or influencers you’d most like to write for.

Visit their websites, analyze their content, and make note of areas you can improve.

Look for older content that could use an update. For example, a headline like “How to be a freelance writer in 2016” is a great candidate for modernization.

(On the other hand, something like “Google Authorship: The Complete Handbook for Getting Respect, Readers, and Rankings” wouldn’t work because its main topic, “Google authorship”, is no longer relevant.)

Dan Lok used a similar tactic to get work from guerrilla marketing guru Jay Conrad Levinson. Dan rewrote Jay’s entire sales pitch on spec and sent it to him. Not only did Jay use the updated sales copy and pay Dan for his spec work, but the new copy tripled Jay’s conversions!

Maybe you’re not a copywriting expert like Dan. But if you find a website with weak or unremarkable sales copy, you could try researching the subject and giving it a shot. At the very least, this makes for good practice.

Once you’ve identified and updated your content, send an email to your target explaining what you did.

Tell them you came across their website or blog article, noticed some flaws, and thought you could help them out by improving it.

While they may offer to pay you for your work like Jay did, I don’t recommend trying to sell it to them.

The true power of this tactic is you’re establishing a relationship by being helpful and demonstrating value upfront. And it works best when done for free.

Trying to sell them your work can come off as opportunistic, arrogant, and reduce the chances they’ll bite.

But if you help them for free and they like your work, they may decide to pay you (like Jay did) and/or keep you in mind for future assignments.

13. Dominate Quora

Quora is a social media platform where users can post questions and get answers from other users.

Whether or not you get clients from Quora, it’s an insanely useful marketing platform for writers that allows you to:

Networking on Quora can be an effective, albeit indirect, method for getting freelance writing jobs online.

The essence of a Quora marketing strategy is this:

Find questions that are relevant to your niche; provide helpful, in-depth answers that demonstrate your writing skill; and advertise your writing services in your profile.

Start by creating a stellar Quora profile .

Treat your Quora profile like your freelance business website. You should include your position as a freelance writer, a high-quality profile picture, a description of the benefits of your services, and links to your writing samples and website.

In the “Credentials & Highlights” section, list all of the credentials and experiences that reinforce your position as an authority in your niche.

In the “Knows About” section, be sure to include topics related to your writing niche as well as your role as a freelance writer (SEO, content marketing, blogging, and so on).

Next, find and follow trending topics related to your writing niche as well as the type of content you create (articles, content marketing, email copy, web copy, etc.).

When your profile is all set up and ready to go, start searching for questions relevant to your writing niche. “Relevant questions” include questions that are of interest to potential clients and/or their audience.

You can find relevant questions either by clicking on a Topic and scanning for them, or by typing relevant keywords into the search bar.

When you come across a relevant question, bookmark it in the “Answer Later” section for easy access.

Finally, write phenomenal answers to your saved questions .

Your answers should be helpful. They should answer all parts of the question in the best way possible. And you should include links to additional resources if and when necessary.

Your answers should tell stories. Stories are not only a great way to engage readers and increase views, they also help readers learn and retain information better.

Your answers should incorporate visuals. Visuals break up your text and make your answers more visually appealing and easier to read.

Be sure to link to your writing samples when possible. In fact, whenever you publish a new article, you should spend some time finding and answering Quora questions related to it as a way to drive traffic.

Regularly answer questions to build your Quora audience and views. You’ll increase your position as an authority in your niche, increase your value to clients by building an audience, and potentially get freelance work from employers who come across your answers.

14. Offer Referral Deals

If they like your work, most clients will happily refer you to others.

But some clients may be reticent to refer you to others because they want to keep you to themselves.

Other clients simply require a bit of motivation.

A simple way to provide this motivation is to sweeten the pot with a referral deal.

Tell clients that for every referral they send your way that turns into a job, you’ll create one free piece of content for them.

Even though you’ll waste some work hours on free work, you’ll more than make up for it with the steady stream of new clients you get.

Short. Sweet. And simple.

Just remember:

It’s important you honor your word.

If a client finds out they referred you to someone, you got the job, and you reneged on your end of the deal, your relationship with the client will end and your reputation as a writer will be tarnished.

15. Monitor Companies That are Hiring for Content Marketing Roles

When you see an ad for a content marketing role, a “job opportunity flag” should be raised in your head.

A new content marketing hire is a sign a company is either investing more in content marketing or changing its content marketing strategy.

It can also simply mean they’re filling a vacant position.

Either way, a new hire still signifies a change in strategy. And it’s likely they’ll need more content and more help creating that content.

Rather than waiting for the company to post an ad for freelance writers (like those other lazy freelancers), take the initiative and demonstrate value upfront.

Reach out to the company (or even their new hire) and offer your help executing their new strategy.

First, use LinkedIn to monitor job ads seeking content producers and marketers.

With LinkedIn, you can use filters to narrow your search by job role, job type, and industry.

You’ll want to filter out any companies that aren’t in your writing niche using the “Industry” filter. If you write for software companies, limit your search to software companies.

It’s also best to limit your search to top-level content marketing roles. Top-level hires are the best indication a company is investing in a new content marketing strategy and increasing content production.

To filter for top-level roles, use keywords like “Content Marketing Strategist”, “Content Marketing Manager”, “Content Marketing Specialist”, “Head of Content Marketing”, etc. You can also use LinkedIn’s “Experience” and “Title” filters to narrow your search to top-level positions.

The best part about using LinkedIn for this strategy is you can set a job alert and have new job ads emailed to you. No need to waste time running new job searches over and over again in order to find job openings. Just set it and forget it.

Next, read the job ads to get a sense of the opportunity potential.

If the job ad indicates the company will be producing lots of new content, you know they’ll be a good source of potential work. Often the ad will say something like, “we’re looking to ramp up our content marketing efforts.”

Keep an eye out for any information on the new direction of their content strategy. If the ad says they’re looking to use written content to build authority in their niche, then make note of it. You’ll use it later in your pitch.

Once you’ve identified a few good prospects, it’s time to start crafting your pitch.

A great pitch should include:

1. An introduction that aligns you with their goals.

You might say something like, “I understand you’re looking to build authority with your blog and I think I can help.” This shows you’ve read their ad and understand what they want to achieve.

2. An article written on spec that you’ll let them publish for free.

This demonstrates your value and writing abilities upfront. It’s also a great way to start a positive relationship by giving them something of value for free.

3. A list of 5 to 10 article ideas you think they’ll like.

This demonstrates your ability to regularly produce great content ideas and will be a valuable asset to their new strategy.

Finally, send them your pitch.

It’s best to send your idea to the newbie hire once they’ve filled the role — the new hire will be most receptive because they’re new to the company, eager to make a good impression, and stand to benefit most from bringing a talented freelancer on board.

While this tactic takes a bit of effort, the potential for steady, long-term work makes it worthwhile.

16. Use an Ad Fishing Strategy

Ad Fishing is a technique that involves using Facebook or LinkedIn ads to target warm leads.

For simplicity, we’ll describe how to employ this strategy on Facebook, but the process for LinkedIn is identical.

To perform this strategy, you’ll need:

First, you’ll need a case study that demonstrates the value of your freelance writing.

Your case study should describe a positive result you helped a client achieve and the process you used for doing so. The positive result could be as simple as helping them boost monthly web traffic with a blog post.

Make sure your case study has a killer, benefit-oriented headline. For example:

“How I Got 10k New Monthly Visitors for a Client With One Blog Post”

The case study should also include a CTA (call to action) at the end inviting readers to contact you if they want similar results.

Next, create a “Bait Article” — an article your target clients will want to read.

For example, if you want to work with health care companies, you could create an article titled “7 Ways Health Care Companies Can Generate More Web Traffic”.

Promote the article wherever your target clients hang out. Post it in relevant Facebook Groups. Link to it in answers to relevant Quora questions. Or, simply promote it to your targets using Facebook Ads.

Finally, create a Retargeting Ad sharing your case study with anyone who reads the “Bait Article”.

The essence of this strategy is to use the “Bait Article” to find and qualify warm leads — people in your target market who want the results you can help them achieve.

Then you hook those warm leads with a case study that clearly demonstrates how you can help them achieve the desired result.

Because the ad only targets a small number of qualified leads, ad spend will be low and ROI (return on investment) will be high.

Chapter Three: 15 Writing Job Boards That are Packed with Writing Opportunities

Next up, let’s look at some popular (and some under-the-radar) job boards used by freelance writers all over the world.

If you’re new to freelancing, job boards will likely be your easiest entry point. You’ll be able to find writing jobs of all shapes and sizes.

Once you have some writing samples under your belt and you begin getting good referrals from clients, more opportunities will become available to you.

Let’s start with my favorite one:

1. Smart Blogger Jobs Board

We’ll start with our own Smart Blogger Jobs Board .

With top-notch jobs that have been vetted by a member of the company’s editorial team…

A slick searcher and filter option that helps you find the perfect job…

And a deep catalog of free training material that’ll help you land that perfect job…

The Smart Blogger Jobs Board is the one-stop shop for writers, bloggers, content marketers, copywriters, and more looking for part-time, full-time, and freelance jobs.

Call me biased, but I think it’s pretty great.

2. LinkedIn Jobs

If you’re a professional, there’s a good chance you already have a LinkedIn profile (even if, like me, you tend to forget about it for months at a time).

Its job board, as you would expect from a site that specializes in professional networking, is huge.

Well, at the time of this writing, there are over 35,000 job postings for “copywriter” alone:

Thankfully, LinkedIn offers lots of filters. Search by date, the job’s industry, the job type (full-time jobs, part-time writing jobs, etc.), experience level, and more.

If you’re already on LinkedIn, it’s a good place to start.

Depending on who you talk to, Upwork (formerly Elance-oDesk) is either awful or amazing. And the funny thing is, the reasons for its awfulness and amazingness are one and the same: low rates.

Employers love Upwork because you can typically find qualified applicants who live in areas with lower cost of living. As a result, they can get great work at reduced costs.

Those who hate Upwork do so because they’re competing with the aforementioned applicants who can comfortably live on less money.

So what does this mean for freelance writers?

Unless you’re content with low-paying freelance writing rates (because you need the practice, you want to build up your portfolio, you need all the work you can get, etc.), you’re better off with one of the other job boards mentioned.

4. ProBlogger

As its name would suggest, the ProBlogger Job Board is a popular one among bloggers in search of freelance writing work and blogger jobs.

With a $70 starting price for posting a job, you tend to find smaller companies on ProBlogger. There are exceptions, of course.

One neat feature offered by ProBlogger is a Candidate Database employers can search to find writers. It’s free for writers to join, and you can use it as an online resume and sales page. Here’s an example from Smart Blogger student Mark Tong:

5. BloggingPro

BloggingPro requires clients to publish job ads that pay a minimum of $15 an hour (or have at least 500 words).

Job categories are blogging, content writing jobs, copywriting , and journalism. And types of work include contract, freelance, full-time, part-time, internship, and temporary.

As job boards not named LinkedIn or Indeed go, it’s pretty detailed.

6. FlexJobs

FlexJobs specializes in all types of online jobs and remote work, including remote jobs for writers. It isn’t free, but you get a lot for your money.

For starters, you’re safe from scams — each job posting is vetted by an actual human. You also don’t have to hunt for work from home jobs that’ll allow you to write in your pajamas — all online writing job ads (from blog posts to white papers to press releases to academic writing) are for remote positions. It’s kind of their thing.

Plans start at $14.95 per month. There’s a 30-day money-back guarantee, which means you can try it out, see if there are any promising writing jobs, and cancel if you don’t like what you see.

7. Freelance Writers Den

Founded by Carol Tice, the Freelance Writers Den is a paid membership site with a long track record.

Unlike most job boards, you also get bonuses. There are over 300 hours of training material, pitch examples, templates, and monthly live events.

Membership is $25 per month with no contract. You can cancel anytime and not pay the next month’s dues. There’s also a 7-day money-back guarantee when you first join.

8. Who Pays Writers?

According to its website, Who Pays Writers? is “an anonymous, crowd-sourced list of which publications pay freelance writers — and how much.”

Translation: Once you’re ready to write for a high-profile publication that’ll look amazing on your portfolio, Who Pays Writers? will be a helpful resource you can use to discover which publications accept applications (and how much they tend to pay per word).

It’s definitely one you should bookmark.

9. FreelanceWriting.com

Curating the best freelance and remote writing jobs that Indeed, Craigslist, BloggingPro, and others have to offer (as well as their own, exclusive writing opportunities); freelancewriting.com is a one-step resource for freelancers.

Sample job ads from freelancewriting.com

Not all job listings are for remote writing jobs, but you can filter the ads to fit your needs. Categories include blogging and marketing jobs (WordPress, SEO, content manager, content strategist for startups, etc.), writing (freelance copywriter, staff writer, short stories, article writer, non-fiction writer, creative writer, grant writer, medical writer , healthcare report writer, real estate writer, personal finance writer, creative content writer, script writer for podcasts , etc.), proofreading (writer/editor, copy editor, content editor, proofreader, etc.), journalism, non-profit gigs, copywriting jobs , social media (marketing manager, social media manager, etc.), and technical writing (technical writer, proposal writer, cover letters, service writer, or even freelance resume writer, etc.).

If you’d like to keep your list of remote job boards short, freelancewriting.com is a good one to keep on it.

10. Freelance Writing Jobs

Freelance Writing Jobs curates blogging jobs from Craigslist, Indeed, Journalism Jobs, MediaBistro, and others.

Every week day, Monday through Friday, they publish a short list of hand-picked job ads. So, if you prefer quality content over quantity, it’s worth a bookmark.

11. Be a Freelance Blogger

Owned and operated by a Smart Blogger student, Sophie Lizard’s job board keeps things pretty simple: if you want to publish a job ad on Be a Freelance Blogger , it has to pay at least $0.10 per word or $50 per post.

If you’re just starting out, it’s definitely worth looking into.

12. Behance Creative Jobs

Though it’s primarily known for its portfolio features, Adobe’s Behance has a job board for creatives of all shapes and sizes.

Job listings for everything from advertising to public relations to freelance writing can be found, making it a solid resource for all kinds of freelancers.

13. Constant Content

Constant Content is a freelance writing platform that facilitates connections between brands and writers. You register for an account, complete a quiz, provide a short writing sample, and — once you’ve been accepted — start applying for writing jobs.

The brands they work with include Uber, Zulily, The Home Depot, Walgreens, Hayneedle, CVS, and eBay; and they claim their top writers earn up to $90,000 per year.

14. Journalism Jobs

If you want to target magazines and newspapers, Journalism Jobs is a great resource. With close to 3 million page views each month, it’s the largest resource for news writers and journalism jobs on the web.

So, if publications are your focus, it should be on your short list.

Copify is a different kind of freelance writing job board. First, you apply for membership. Once you’re in, you can take writing jobs when and if it suits you.

Its aim is to provide you “hassle-free” freelance writing opportunities. So, there are no contracts or commitments, and no need to submit bids or proposals. If you value simplicity, Copify could be a good fit.

Chapter Four: Common Freelance Writing Questions (& Answers)

Still have questions? Don’t worry. It’s perfectly normal.

We’ll wrap things up with a quick FAQ.

Here are the common questions we receive from freelance writers. (If you have a question not discussed here, be sure to leave a comment below!)

You should also check out our Freelance Writing Hub . From elevating your writing skills to getting paid to write, it’s a go-to resource for everything you need to know about freelancing.

Now on to the Q&A…

What is freelance content writing?

Freelance writers are self-employed contractors who are hired by clients to create content for them. The type of content ranges from production descriptions to email copy to full-fledged eBooks — and everything in between.

What do you do as a freelance writer?

Well, hopefully, you write. A lot. 🙂

But you also:

And speaking of looking for work:

How do freelance writers find work?

How freelance writers land gigs tend to vary based on their experience writing. When you have a good body of work, you’ll get many of your blog writer jobs through referrals and repeat customers. As a result, if you’re an experienced writer, you typically make more money.

So, when you first start writing, you’ll need to be proactive. The job boards we discussed earlier will likely be where you have the most success initially. And don’t forget about the outside-the-box, under-the-radar strategies we discussed. You can find success with those too.

How much do freelance writers make?

When you’re just starting out, you’ll likely be in the $0.10 to $0.15 per word range. But, as you grow, you can command $500, $1,000, and more per article.

Once you have a body of work and you can prove you get results for clients, your pay increases.

How do freelance writers get paid?

Every client will have their own methods for paying writers, but typically you’ll submit an invoice via a service like PayPal, Stripe, or TransferWise.

Make sure you understand the payment terms before you begin work. If you’re unsure, ask the client.

How much do you charge for a 500 word article? How much should I charge for a 1000 word article?

Using the $0.10 to $0.15 per word range we just discussed, as a new freelance writer you can expect to earn between $50 and $75 for a 500-word article.

For a 1,000-word article, a new freelancer could expect to earn between $100 and $150.

But again, as time goes on, your rate should be higher.

How much does a freelance writer make per hour?

It depends.

Most clients will pay freelance writers by word count or individual project. For such clients, your hourly rate will depend on how fast you work.

But there is some data available to give you a broad (probably too broad) idea:

Takes these numbers with a grain of salt, though.

How do you start freelance writing? How do I become a freelance writer with no experience?

Freelance writing experience or no, if you’re willing to accept lower-than-ideal pay rates on job boards, blog content mills, or freelance marketplaces (think Fiverr and Textbroker), you can get started right away. Find freelance job postings, apply to them, and get to work.

But big picture, the answer depends on which group do you belong to:

If you’re in the former group, focus on building a good writing portfolio. If you have your own website, publish articles on there. Medium is a good option too (and it’s free).

If you’re the latter, you really should focus on improving your writing skills. You can probably find work as you are, sure, but a portfolio filled with crappy articles won’t help you find good clients.

Our writing articles here at Smart Blogger can help you. So can the excellent writing content at Enchanting Marketing, Copyblogger, and others. And if you need formal training, the free class I mentioned earlier is well worth your time.

Can you be a freelance writer without a Bachelor’s degree (or even High School Diploma)?

Absolutely. I have a Master’s in Computer Science that I paid way too much money to acquire. Know how many times I’ve been asked by a potential client if I had a degree? Zero. Know how many times the word “degree” popped up when Jon was interviewing me for Smart Blogger? Zilch.

If you can do the work, you can do the work. A degree in creative writing, or lack of one, won’t matter.

Are “guest posts” the same thing as freelance writing jobs?

Semantics aside, yes.

With a guest post, you’re writing content for a website you don’t own, you’re credited as the author, and you get an author byline (or, at least you do with good guest post opportunities). With a freelance writing job, you’re writing content for a website you don’t own, you’re credited as the author (unless it’s a ghostwriter assignment), and you get an author byline (unless, again, you’re ghostwriting).

The only difference is compensation.

All freelance writing jobs will pay you money. With guest blogging, some blogs and websites pay writers to write guest posts for them; with others, you don’t receive monetary compensation, but you get perks like having your work seen by new audiences and beefing up your writing portfolio.

Do guest bloggers get paid?

Some do. As mentioned above, some websites pay writers to write guest posts for them.

To find out if a guest blogging opportunity is a paying one, you need to check their website. Look for a page named “editorial guidelines”, “guest posting guidelines”, “write for us”, or something similar.

Then (and this is important) you need to thoroughly read said guidelines.

If it’s a paying freelance writing gig, or even if it’s just an unpaid freelance writing opportunity for a popular website, you want to get your relationship with the target website off to a good start. And nothing will get your relationship off to a bad start quite like failing to read their guidelines.

Many websites, especially large ones that receive lots of inquiries, will use their editorial guidelines to eliminate sub-par candidates.

For example, here are a few of the guidelines Smart Blogger used to have in our since-retired “Write for Us” page:

And, trust me, there was a lot more where that came from. Each paragraph, each sentence, was carefully designed to filter potential candidates.

Most blogs and websites won’t have such detailed guidelines. But they will have some guidelines (and if one doesn’t, it isn’t one you want to do business with).

Read the guidelines, follow them, and you’ll do fine.

What are the highest paying freelance writing jobs? What niche should I pursue if I want to make lots of money as a writer?

The list of profitable writing niches can change for a variety of reasons (just look at what the coronavirus did to the “travel” industry in 2020), but here’s an evergreen tip for finding high-paying gigs:

Follow the money.

If you see lots of job ads for freelance writing jobs in a particular niche, chances are the niche is profitable.

True, smart, and sophisticated businesses will continue to hire freelance writers and produce content during a recession (it pays off for them long-term), but unsophisticated clients will stop — unless they’re still making money.

This is a simple but effective hack for finding profitable niches.

Is freelance writing legit?

I’ll resist the urge to make an M.C. Hammer joke. Instead, I’ll simply say:

Yes, freelance writing is legit.

Thanks, man. Appreciate that. Hopefully, this post can help a lot of people. Thank you for sharing it with your friends!

Great article! Many interesting tips 🙂

Hey Marcin,

Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it. 🙂

Hi Kevin, Thanks for the solid tips.

I particularly liked the Twitter tip. I will try it.

Please check your inbox and help me put my freelancing house in order 🙂 I’ve reached out twice, maybe my emails were nabbed by crazy spam spiders.

Enjoy your day.

Off to share!

Hey Qhubekani,

You’re welcome, my friend! Thank you for the kind words (and the share).

So you’ve emailed me? Let me check. Sorry about that. I’ll go find them today and get back with you soon.

Thanks again for reading and sharing, Qhubekani!

Snake’s’ hips maybe haha.

Awesome post, Kevin! Wish this came earlier when I was just starting out. Bookmarked the agency directory.

Quick question: As one of the big players in the industry, I’m interested in your your opinion on the right time for a beginner or an intermediate writer to transition from content mills like Upwork to cold pitching or scavenging for direct clients in Job boards like Pro blogger?

Do you also happen to know of writers (newbies can look up to) who have made it huge without stepping foot into content mills or the ones receiving the briefcases full of cash while pitching?

Last, regarding asking for testimonials, sites like Upwork allow clients to leave one after their contract with the writers has ended. So, is it worth for beginners to utilize such sites while building their portfolio working with direct clients or should they stick with only one through the dip.

Btw, received your mail, when should we also expect any nugget of wisdom from Be A Better Blogger?

See you on Twitter!

Best, Antony

Hey Antony,

Thank you! I’m really glad you enjoyed it.

“As one of the big players in the industry” — gosh, I don’t know about that, Antony. I appreciate the compliment, though. 🙂

To answer your question: In my opinion, you should transition ASAP. The rates for content mills are really, really low. Too low. If you’ve got the skills (even if you still have room for improvement… if you can write a decent article right here, right now), I wouldn’t hesitate to visit ProBlogger’s job boards (as well as the other job boards I listed) and compete for higher-paying jobs.

As for writers that newbies can look up to: That’s the funny thing. Most writers, when they’ve made it big, tend not to admit they ever participated in content mills when they were starting out. My guess is many avoided them, but many didn’t. They had to go where the work was, you know?

Henneke, who I mentioned in the post, is a great writer to look up to. I’ve had very good experiences working with Ali Luke (who you’ve probably seen on ProBlogger). She’s another good one. Mel Wicks and Colin Newcomer, two frequent Smart Blogger writers, are others. So is Sarah Peterson, who has written for Smart Blogger and worked for Sumo, and who commands big bucks as a freelance writer. Elna Cain is another one I’ve had the pleasure to work with.

Honestly, there are too many to list, Antony. Haha. But hopefully, that gives you a starting point! 🙂

For your last question: Upwork reviews left by clients will likely only help you land more jobs on Upwork. You could, in theory, mention your high Upwork score to non-Upwork clients, but that could backfire. Because everyone knows the writing rates on Upwork are low, your using Upwork as “proof” could cause prospective clients to undervalue you.

My take: the good assignments you had on Upwork should definitely be used in your writing portfolio. Just don’t mention you got the work via Upwork. You had a writing assignment, you did a great job on it, and that’s all that matters.

Hope all that helps, Antony. Thanks again for the kind words.

You’re welcome, Kevin. Thanks for the wonderful feedback too! It’s of great help to others who are planning to start or are part of the freelance writing journey.

Yeah, true Henneke is amazing. I’ve interacted with her. I’ve been enjoying her series of emails from Enchanting marketing too. I’ve heard of Sarah and Mel. Actually Sarah was outranking Jon.

The last time I checked Jon was ranking number one for “power words” but I’m shocked to see him at position 4. You should shove his [email protected] as one of his sidekicks to reclaim the position he deserves.

I’ll make an effort to greet all of them in the course of next week and probably pass your words or greeting maybe haha.

Knock on wood, but as of this writing we’re back at #1 for “power words”, Antony! 🙂

“Talent is cheaper than table salt. What separates the talented individual from the successful one is a lot of hard work.”

That quote alone made this post worth reading.

I love that a lot of the advice, especially at the beginning, has value for anyone looking to increase their sphere of influence.

I want to make connecting with influencers one of my top blogging priorities in 2020. Which reminds me, I think I forgot to reply to your last email!

Excellent post Mr Editor, hope the fame and fortune isn’t going to your head (although I wouldn’t blame you if it did 😉

Have a Merry Christmas Kevin!

Thanks for the kind words! Yeah, I love that quote too.

How are you doing with your “connecting with influencers” goal?

Thanks for these tips. For a begineer like me, This will definitely help me. Thank you again.

You’re welcome, Abhishek!

Hey Kevin J. Duncan , Great post. Thanks for being so generous. I am a beginner in freelancing and i have no idea about it. Yout blog has helped me alot in knowing about these things. Keep up the good work.

Hey, Harry! So glad you enjoyed it.

Thanks Kevin for the tips on how freelancers can earn good income from writing jobs. I have picked out two points. 1. Have a kick ass writing portfolio 🙂 2. Follow social media leads this I am working on starting now. Do you usually offer mentorship?

You’re welcome, Silvia! Not doing any mentoring or coaching at the moment. Though, I do interact with our students. 🙂

The information you provided about freelancing jobs site is insane. It helps a lot to student like me. Thanks man keep it up.

Awesome. You’re very welcome, Sagar!

I’ve just started to write as a freelancer and these tips would definitely help me find the best jobs. Thanks

Glad to hear it, Bikash! Be sure to come back and let me know how it’s going for you so far.

Hi Kevin, This right here is rock-solid advice.

It took moments of reflection to read it all and l can confidently say that the Twitter tip stole the show. It’s something l will be working on soon and l hope l can hit a home run with it.

Without further ado, let me head off to Twitter and spread this gospel.

So glad you enjoyed the post and got so much value out of it. Really appreciate the kind words (and tweet)!

The best way to search for a freelance writing job is by joining a freelancer marketplace such as odesk, freelancer, etc. But if a person do not have required skills then he can never become success as an freelancer.

Your tips are surely going to help people who want to be successful freelancer.

Thanks, Gaurav. I certainly hope the post helps people. 🙂

Hey, let’s say that i have writting skills. where i can start my business?

Hey, Saida. If you’ve got the writing skills, start working on two things: writing good pitches to prospective clients, and building a good portfolio. We’re working on a new Smart Blogger post as we speak that can help you with the former. For the latter, this post should help: https://smartblogger.com/writing-portfolio/

Glad to hear it, Alamin!

Hi, This is good to see you beginner friendly tips and having right post article to see you here. Thanks a lot for sharing with us.

I’m happy you enjoyed it, Adrina!

I’ve been hiring writers for over 10 years. Each site or niche is different and it astounds me how much some writers expect to receive per word. I’m willing to pay for good writing but writers, especially new ones need to be reasonable about their rates. If they get in with a good corporate gig I can see them making the rate they want. Anyone freelancing that is looking for work needs to keep their expectations humble. You can always ask for an increase after you develop the relationship. Great resources on this page.

Hey Richard,

Appreciate your perspective (and happy to know you enjoyed the post)! Very true that each niche (and client) is different.

Thank you for sharing this important information with us because freelance jobs are much better than full-time jobs. You can earn more money as a freelancer. So once again thank you for sharing this important information with us.

Glad you found it helpful, Vivek!

Thanks for all that valuable information!! I just want to say your article is very helpful, that’s very clear.

Happy to hear you enjoyed it, Anil!

Thanks for taking initiative and providing this information which will be beneficial for freelancers. Freelancing in these days is going to help many.

I certainly hope the post helps freelancers. Glad you enjoyed it, Shubham!

Thanks for the detailed article on finding freelance writing jobs. These days it is very difficult to freelance. As there is lot of competition. I feel Facebook is overcrowded and also ineffective. I never know the features offered by ProBlogger until this article. I will check that for sure.

Thanks & Regards Aria Mathew

You’re welcome, Aria. I’m glad you found the post helpful!

How did ProBlogger’s job board work for you?

I didn’t know it so many freelance websites to sign up with. I am only familiar with upwork and blogger. Thanks I will definitely look into some of these on your list.

You’re welcome, Marcus!

Hey Kevin, This a great article. In this post You have covered all the sides of this topic. This proved that Freelancing is not a simple process unless there is a full commitment to the work. It is the right place to learn much about freelancing and to correct the flaws. Thanks for sharing!

Appreciate the kind words, Jones. Glad you enjoyed it!

Hi Kevin, How are you doing? Your article caught my attention when it landed in my inbox, but I decided to save it for later. I like that you highlighted creating a portfolio and honing one’s writing skills at the top. A collection shows potential clients what a freelance writer can bring to the table. And when you improve your writing skills, you set yourself up for more writing work and recognition by top marketers. For example, when I started freelancing in 2017, I landed my first client month after that. So I thought I was in my A-game. So, I thought it would be ideal for getting published on top blogs like SEMrush. I wrote and submitted a few articles, but they were rejected. It was when I received their remarks that I realized my writing wasn’t good enough. So, I took the time to improved my skills. Fast-forward 2019/2020, SEMrushhs published my articles with the editor, Melissa emailing me to submit more content for publishing. Creating a portfolio, as stated earlier, is perfect, but it is wise to leverage some underused channels like LinkedIn for portfolio creation as well. For instance, LinkedIn is a top B2B2 lead generation platform, but many writers are not taking advantage of this goldmine for content writing jobs. I used the LinkedIn “Experience section” to create a mini portfolio, my page views increased dramatically, and I landed more high-paying jobs. Iikethearticle you put out, and I have already scheduled it for posting across channels. Thanks for sharing!

Glad you enjoyed it (and appreciate your support)!

It’s fun to read about your journey so far. SEMrush is a great site, so congrats for getting published by them. That’s certainly excellent portfolio material!

Agree with you that many writers aren’t taking advantage of LinkedIn. We have a post on the topic in work, so hopefully we do something about that soon. 🙂

Thanks again for the kind comment, Moss. Have a good one.

Thank you so much for sharing such an insightful article. I do believe in these times of widespread pandemic, it is important to keep going and not sulk. Freelance work is something which will surely earn you some pocket money and at the same time help you revise your skills and knowledge. It will help you go through your area of expertise again and again which helps you improvise every time.

Thank you, Deepankshu. Glad you enjoyed it!

(And, yes, totally agree. You’ve got to keep going. Keep moving forward.)

I am really overwhelmed with this article. I would like to thank for the efforts you have made in writing this post. Thanks for sharing. Great websites!! 🙂

Hey, Richa. I’m glad you were overwhelmed in a GOOD way! Thanks for commenting. 🙂

Very very complete, thank you very much for this! The resources are really awesome, very useful for me to start freelancing writing. I really love this one, and shared it to my social media. Thank you and keep posting awesome articles!

Hey, Menulis. You’re very welcome. Glad you enjoyed it!

I’ve bookmarked this as a daily job search reference. This post is meaty, yet each directive is separate. Nothing bugs me more than having to fish back through content to piece the instructions together.

The number “33” in the headline got my attention. It’s such an unusual headline number I thought “Mmm, Kevin must be serious about this number of suggestions, I must read this”

I’m familiar with a few of these tactics. By using this as a reference, there’s no doubt I’ll execute my search better.

Tactics like poaching from other writers, Quora searches and many others, weren’t even on my list … so thanks!

I read this just in time for my May marketing push so about to get started on my spreadsheet to chart my progress.

You’re the best!

Good to see you here in the comments section! Thanks for stopping by. 🙂

I’m glad you found the layout and sections of the post to be clear and easy to navigate. That was one of the trickiest parts about putting this post together, so I’m glad it worked.

How’d your May marketing push go?

Thanks, Kevin for all the tips. I was finding it difficult to find a freelancing job as a content writer. This article actually helped me. I followed all your sets and finally got a job which I applied at Job Vacancy Result Thanks!!!!!!

That’s awesome, Vedang. I’m glad the article helped you!

Pretty awesome article. i am already working as a freelancer but definitely this article going to help me even further more. Thank You.

Glad to hear it, Muhammad. Good luck!

The Quora part got me. I am active in quora as reader because the answers are always relevant and easy to read. The community are also very supportive there. After reading your article I just realize that Quora can be used as platform to promote our writing skill. That is amazing.

Hey, Utomo. Glad you found the Quora part to be enlightening! Best of luck leveraging the platform going forward. 🙂

Just landed here from Google and believe me, I’m stoked. So many options to choose from. Great article Kevin.

Hey, Gaurav. Glad you found the article! Did you have a favorite tip or suggestion?

The people I found in LinkedIn have always been literate and have done a good job. Also, when you want to hire a freelancer, search the forums and you will see his work and style. If you like him, he’s your man.

Thanks for the tips, Panagiotis. Appreciate you taking the time to leave a comment!

I am looking for writers those who can come to my office and write. Its hard to find them

Hey, Yogesh. Yeah, finding local writers can be difficult. Is hiring writers who will work remotely not an option for your business?

Hi, i started blogging, i found article writing is difficult task, because it’s need to have good knowledge in English and also need to research on the topic so i decided to outsource articles for my blog

Yes, article marketing can be challenging. But in order for it to be fun and worthwhile, it has to be a labor of love to you. Do it when you don’t feel like doing it and start off with writing one or two articles per week. Then, focus on updating your blog or website with lots and lots of content. If you can manage to write 1500 words a day for 5 to 6 days a week for 2 to 3 years in addition to publishing two articles a week with links in the body of the article pointing back to your blog website, you should be good to go. 🙂

Thanks for sharing your insights, DNN. 🙂

Hey, Rishad. Makes sense. Lots of entrepreneurs outsource their writing. If it isn’t something you’re good at, or — as DNN mentioned — it’s not a labor of love, hiring talented freelance writers is a good call (if you can afford it). 🙂

Damn ! This article is really helpful thanks a lot for sharing.

Glad you enjoyed it, James!

Thank you for this super helpful post Kevin. Lots of unknown tips and insights which help us not waste time. Kudos to the great Smart Blogger team, one and all.

You’re welcome, Jeanette. Thank you for the kind words!

As a content writer, I’m always hunting for jobs. You see the thing with content writers and web developers are that our job is only one-time. There’s nothing recurrent, therefore, I ask you to please suggest some platforms for content writing jobs other than twitter and linekdin. Thanks

The hunting for jobs is a constant struggle for many writers. Look into tips 7, 10, 11, 12, 13, and 15 in the “16 Hacks for Finding Under-the-Radar Writing Opportunities” section. They should give you quite a bit to work with.

Also, look into the other 12 job boards we mentioned (besides LinkedIn). I’ve personally heard some good things from writers about ProBlogger’s job board, so that could be a good place to start.

The money is everyone online quietly waiting to be tapped into. You just have to be willing to keep going regardless of the awesome challenges life presents. If you really want to make freelancing and the side hustle work for you, you must be willing to do the transformation business work, out of inspiration or desperation.

Great advice. What often separates the success stories from the cautionary tales is the willingness to “keep going” through the challenges, trials, and tribulations.

Appreciate you stopping by and commenting!

Good article, worth spending time…. though a bit lengthy

Glad you enjoyed it. Yep, it’s quite lengthy. Most of my posts are, I’m afraid. 🙂

When did the blogging rules change that required blog posts to be so long that a Table of Contents was required?

And, current year is not a good idea for a Captcha. In Thailand, where I live, it is year 2563.

Hey Lawrence,

I wish we didn’t have to use Captcha at all. Never been a fan of it, regardless of implementation.

Definitely the most comprehensive resource on the internet on this topic. Fantastic read and tremendously helpful.

I’m glad you enjoyed it, Umer! “Most comprehensive resource” is what I was going for. 🙂

I am so glad I came across this article today … really helpful

Glad you found it helpful, Kshitija.

This is a well-written post. One site I would recommend apart from twitter, Quora, and Fb would be Fiverr. I feel the biggest challenge writers face are from the article spinning sites

Hey, Vinod. Glad you enjoyed the post!

I was just finding a way to start a new fresh content & suddenly got this article on google. It really helped me.

Hey Kishan,

I’m glad Google led you here. Happy to hear the post helped you!

Was a great article. Freelance writing is not simple as it seems, you have to show commitment. Anyways, good job.

Yes, you definitely need to commit to freelance writing if you hope to make a career out of it. It’s certainly worth it. 🙂

Thanks for the list! I’d love to see a more in-depth course on this. Finding freelance writing jobs is the hardest thing…

I have just started to write. Even trying for some freelance writing jobs. But was a bit confused about the new things, but I think this will help me a lot to proceed further.

Writing is the king this days because contents the king, however, most writers find difficulties to do freelancing work because they are not aware of the proper platform. Thanks for this article, I love to write and I will try definitely for freelancing.

I was wondering how could i spend time in this pandemic. i came across this article, it gave me lot of strength.

Thanks a lot for this wonderful article

Thanks for this information KEVIN.

Previously, we had bad experience with freelance writer. Therefore now we have our own professional content writer team, serving exceptionally great services to all our In-House clients. We believe that fresh & good content also help us to rank better on Google SERP.

It’s a wonderful post for a starter like me. I have started a blog just a month over and I am very much confused about how I can take this further as my career, but thanks Kevin you have resolved lots of my confusion. But still, I am worried about one thing is that I am not a seasoned writer. I used to be a programmer and I just started writing. Before starting to write, the one thing that comes in my mind is that what I will write and how I will write. Can you give any guidance on how to resolve that fear?

Hi Kevin, Absolutely amazing article. I really appreciate that you put on a great effort to bring out such outstanding content. As a freelance writer I find all these tips very helpful for finding more clients for me. My favorite tip was “Twitter’s advanced search engine”. It worked like magic for me.

Hello Kevin,

It’s a valuable post especially in these days of COVID-19 when everybody is looking to work from home and looking for freelance work. Thanks for your contribution.

Regards, Ovais Mirza

This is another amazing article from you Kevin. It’s good to know that you have done a thorough and deep level of brainstorming blog topic on freelancing content writing tasks.

Very useful tips for freelancers. I love this post and your work. Now a days content is the king.

some of the best talented writers have a bad habit of missing deadline and it is very bad habit that we cant ignore

you are 100% right about the freelancing jobs and great tips like quora and having knowledge on SEO is a must

I have been writing for quite some time and now I am quite better but to get a job is the hardest part. 🙁

Very informative post, really liked this post… Thanks for sharing.

Hey Kevin I have been reading your blogs for quite some time and every single one gives a lot of information as compared to others. Thank u so much for that 🙂

This has been super helpful. I’m going to implement it and hope to see good results. I don’t suppose you have an article on finding topics that you can point me to? One of my fears right now isn’t pitching, it’s how do I come up with a topic that’s as good or even better than what’s already on their site?

Hey Kevin. There are a lot of people interested in doing freelance jobs compared to previous years. With the pandemic going on, some people are choosing to work from home.

I like the testimonial and Quora tip. I think it’s simple yet effective way to promote yourself. Thanks!

Wow! What an in-depth post you have created Kevin. Freelance writing has evolved with time and is still one of the best freelance gigs out there. This post is super helpful for beginners as well as seasoned writers, I only wish I had seen such a post when I first got started as a writer. I like the fact that you have made emphasis on the legal side of freelancers as I have been duped by many people in the past by not paying or paying only a part of the agreed upon fees after completion of the project. I’m sure this is something freelancers would be struggling with even now. Thanks for sharing such a detailed guide, I will be sharing this with anyone who asks me advice on how to get started as a freelance writer.

8 Easy Remote Writing Jobs (For the Total Beginner)

It’s now 2022, and the whole making money on the internet thing is no longer as novel as it was a decade ago.

Millions of people are doing it, and so you may finally be at the point where you’re saying: “If so many other people are have created successful online businesses, then maybe I really can do it myself.”

I’m going to tell it to you straight: you can.

But with dozens of different types of businesses you can choose from, you should be deliberate in how you get started if you’re new to the whole online business world.

My best advice? Try your hand at freelance writing.

There are a lot of reasons as to why you should start freelance writing, but the basics are:

But where do you start exactly?

8 Remote Writing Jobs (Even a Total Beginner Can Do)

Prefer to watch? Here’s the video version of this post:

Well, that’s what we’re going to cover in this post. I’m going to share with you 8 remote writing jobs that you can do from home (or on the road) and are perfect for the beginning freelance writer.

1) Email Outreach: An underrated remote writing job

We included email outreach as our first remote writing jobs, because I think it’s one of the most under-the-radar opportunities out there right now.

As bloggers and businesses are continuing to double down on content marketing for their businesses, they’re also more actively working on their search engine optimization.

One of the ways they’re doing this is by sending out emails by the hundreds to other website owners asking for guest posts and links. If you don’t know, links are the currency of the internet. The more links that point back to you, the better your site will do in search rankings.

The problem? Most people are horrible at this type of outreach. They automate it and make it impersonal, leading to poor results.

If you can hone your skills at writing personalized emails to real people, and build up those relationships on behalf of a blog owner? There is true value there and it’s something a lot of people will pay for.

The best way to get started? Ironically enough: cold email outreach.

Resources to Check out:

2) Transcription Writing: An excellent place for beginners to start

There’s nothing overly sexy about transcribing content.

Essentially you listen to someone talk in a video, podcast, audio-note – and then you type out what you hear. There are automated services out there for this, but a lot of people prefer the extra accuracy of a human doing it.

There’s also a big opportunity in translation work if you can speak two languages, or if you’re considering freelance writing as a non-native English speaker.

Resources to Check Out:

3) Proofreading Jobs: Just Don’t Be a Jerk About It

With millions of blog posts being published on a daily basis, that means there are millions of grammatical and spelling errors, also being published on a daily basis.

Guaranteed, there will be at least one on this post.

Are you someone with great attention to detail? Then you may be an excellent proofreader or editor.

Some businesses swear by having a proofreader check their services, while others will prefer not to spend money on it and do it themselves.

But this is one remote writing job that can be very lucrative if you find the right client.

Just one word of advice…

If you do cold outreach to bloggers offering proofreading services, don’t be a jerk. Choosing one of their blog posts and marking it up with red ink to show “how bad” their published work is? That’s a great way to get your email deleted and not get the job.

4) Blog Content Writing: Where most new freelancer’s start

Ah the blog content writing generalist, the ultimate entry point for people who truly want to look at freelance writing as a career.

With over 4 million blog posts being published each day there’s an incredible need for content out there to keep up with the competition.

As such there are so many opportunities for new freelance writers right now.

All of the experts will say “you have to niche down!” – which honestly, isn’t bad advice.

But here’s the good news: if you don’t have a niche? You can still be a successful remote freelance writer!

But regardless of whether or not you become a freelance writing generalist, or if you already have a niche in mind, this is a fantastic place for beginners to start. It can be a lucrative longterm career, or the ultimate bridge business.

Check out these resources:

5) Product Descriptions: Short, Sweet, Kinda Tedious

You know when you’re on Amazon, or any other online store and you read about a product?

Someone has to write all of those product descriptions.

Sure big box retailers have teams of people to do that. But with the millions of independent e-commerce and Amazon stores out there, there are tons of entrepreneurs out there that need people to write their product descriptions.

When I was first starting out online, I worked for a company selling industrial key boxes. They had hundreds of different SKUs. Guess who got to write the descriptions for them? Meeeee, baby. Meeeeee. (Props if you know the Jack Black reference there).

While not the most fun work, it can be a great foot in the door for new remote writers who are looking to make a little money, without having to be the driving creative force behind things.

Search on Google – This seems stupid and obvious. But rather than link to a bunch of individual sites, the best starting point for finding product description work? Simply google: “Product Description Jobs.”

6) SEO Articles: A Dying Breed, But Still Opportunities

When I first started looking for remote writing jobs, there were a ton of people hiring “SEO writers.”

Now, this did not mean they were hiring SEO professionals to make their blog posts more SEO friendly.

Rather there was a specific SEO strategy called “article marketing.”

Essentially this means you write hundreds of low-quality articles and then publish them on one of a number of “article farms.”

Generally, these posts were never meant to be read by anyone. But each one had a backlink to a client’s page that they wanted to rank.

Remember how we said links are the currency of the internet?

Well despite the fact on their own, any one of these links weren’t worth much. When you did them by the hundreds? Or thousands? That could have an effect.

This industry is nowhere close to what it was 10 years ago, but there’s still people out there doing variations on this today.

The pay isn’t huge, but if you’re looking for a low-stress way to build some confidence as a freelance writer, then SEO writing jobs could be perfect for you.

7) Random Writing Jobs on Fiverr: Yes, this is a thing.

It’s not much of a secret that Fiverr is home to a lot of pretty random jobs.

If you’re looking for, let’s say, an African Tribesperson to dance around and sing your grandma happy birthday? You’ll find someone who will do that for you on Fiverr.

Or how about the singer who did vocals for some of the tracks in 2001: A Space Odyssey? That you need for your own 2001 homage video and song? You’ll find them on Fiverr too. (This is a true story.)

But despite all of the irreverent, and often hilarious Fiverr jobs out there, this also means there’s a lot of opportunity for more…useful jobs as well.

Where would you find someone to write a Craigslist ad to help you sell your car? Or perhaps an eBay listing for those old speakers that have been collecting dust in your closet?

Fiverr can be a great place for that. So by doing a little research and getting creative with what you offer on your Fiverr profile, you could have a (very) niche writing business that actually pays the bills.

How to Start Selling on Fiverr – Everything you need to get setup and start selling your services on the site.

8) Copywriting: Are you persuasive? This might be for you.

Copywriting is kind of the creme de la creme of remote writing jobs.

You might be thinking “I thought this was a post for easy writing jobs?”

Well it depends on who you are. If you have a background in sales or marketing, copywriting may come very naturally to you – and actually, be the best starting point for a remote writing job.

But if you’re just starting out, and not feeling quite as confident in your writing or persuasive abilities? Then one of the other options listed above may be a better starting point.

That said, Copywriting can be an incredibly lucrative skill to master – whether you freelance it or not. So I’d recommend spending a little time studying.

Other Resources for Remote Writing Jobs

These eight remote writing jobs are just the tip of the iceberg. There is so much potential out there for freelance writers, and if you’re willing to put in a little bit of time? It can pay off in a big way.

Here are a handful of other useful resources that will be beneficial as you’re growing your career as a remote freelance writer:

14 Sites with Beginner Freelance Writing Jobs

1. SolidGigs

3. problogger job board, 4. clearvoice, 6. flexjobs, 7. freedom with writing, 8. morning coffee newsletter, 9. freelance writing jobs, 10. we work remotely, 11. working nomads, 12. journalism jobs, 14. all freelance writing, tips for finding more writing jobs, good luck on your writing job search.

Freelance writing jobs for beginners are easier to find right now than ever before. It used to be that if you were looking for entry-level freelance writing jobs you had to hunt through thousands of classified ads, write cold-pitch letters to magazine and newspaper editors, and probably even do some free work to prove your value.

Not anymore.

If you’re a beginning freelance writer looking for potential clients to make money writing , or trying to elevate your freelance writing career, there have never been more opportunities or great places to find freelance writing jobs online than there are now.

Work from home, part-time, or full-time, we’re positive that this list of job boards will help you find more writing jobs in no time.

These 10 Sites Pay Beginner Freelance Writers GOOD MONEY

Know what kind of job board you’re dealing with

There’s a big difference between SolidGigs, FlexJobs, and Upwork. We think it’s a solid idea to diversify your search, however you should know how each job board works.

SolidGigs , for example, is a service that sends jobs to you, so you don’t have to do the searching. They compile the list of all the top sites already. FlexJobs is a job board that you have to sign up for, and apply to job listings on their site. These are jobs vetted by FlexJobs, and used by companies looking to hire. Upwork is a freelance marketplace, where thousands of other fellow freelancers join and make a profile, then attempt to land jobs with sending proposals.

So, what kind of job board do you want to try? Or would you rather use one that does it for you?

Be consistent

The key to finding more freelance work is truly to be consistent — you have to put in the work and time to find and apply to job writing opporunities.

As the famous quote from Wayne Gretzky goes, “You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.”

So apply, apply, apply — the more you apply, the more practice you get at improving on your cover letters and the more opportunity you have to getting more writing jobs.

Remain professional, yet personable

When you’re reaching out, regardless of what job site you’re searching on, you should aim to sprinkle some of your personality into your pitches.

If you’re plain, and boring, more than likely they’ll just pass on to the next.

But if you give some personality, but remain professional, you show the employer a small snippet into who you are.

Just keep writing

Even if you’re out of work, and on the hunt, you should still be writing.

Create a fictional client for yourself, and write articles as if it was a real paid job opportunity. In the end, you will have gained experience and a potential portfolio piece.

You’ve got to be constantly improving your writing skills one way or another, so never stop writing.

Look, we get it — job hunting sucks! But with this list of the best writing job sites, and even an affordable service that will do the work for you, we have no doubt you’ll be able to get work sooner than later.

That’s all we’ve got for you today, but we’ll be sure to keep an eye out and add any new sites offering regular freelance writing jobs for beginners. If we’ve missed anything, please be sure to let us know!

Becoming a freelance writer is a great way to earn a living while doing something you love - writing! But what exactly is freelance writing, and how does it work?

Freelance writing is a type of work where you get paid to write articles, blog posts, and other types of content on a per-project basis. You can work as a freelance writer for businesses in various industries and write for multiple clients.

In either case, you'll need to be able to produce high-quality content that meets the needs of each client.

One of the great things about freelance writing is that you can often choose your own hours and work from home. However, this means that you'll need to be disciplined and organized to meet deadlines and keep your clients happy.

If you're thinking about becoming a freelance writer, the best way to get started is by finding some well-paying clients and building up a strong portfolio of work. Once you have some experience under your belt, you'll be well on your way to earning a living as a freelance writer!

For many people, the appeal of freelance writing jobs is the ability to work from home. This can be a great way to save on commuting costs and office rental fees and provide a more comfortable and relaxed working environment.

In addition, freelance writing jobs often offer the flexibility to choose your own hours, which can be perfect for parents or people with other commitments. However, the biggest benefit of freelance writing jobs is the potential to earn a good income.

With the right skills and a bit of hard work, it is possible to make a great living from freelance writing. So if you're looking for an interesting and rewarding career, then freelance writing could be perfect for you.

For anyone considering a career in freelance writing, the question of how much money you can make is undoubtedly top of mind. After all, as a freelancer, you're not privy to the same salary and benefits packages that traditional employees receive.

So what's the bottom line? How much do freelance writers really make?

The answer, unfortunately, is that it depends. Several factors can affect your earnings as a freelancer, such as the type of writing you do, your experience level, and the size and location of your client base.

Depending on the client and the pay structure, you might be paid per word, per hour, or by project.

This can be a great way to save on commuting costs and office rental fees and provide a more comfortable and relaxed working environment.

In general, freelance writers can expect to earn anywhere from $14 to $70 per hour. However, top-earning, highly specialized, and experienced freelance writers can make much more than this. Of course, your earnings will depend on your skills and experience and the type of writing you do.

For example, copywriters tend to earn around 20% more than content writers, and those who specialize in niche topics or highly technical fields tend to command higher rates than generalists.

While beginner freelancers typically earn less per project than those with more experience; they can make up for it in volume by taking on more projects overall.

So if you're thinking about becoming a freelance writer, rest assured that there's good money to be made. Just remember that your earning potential will depend on several factors specific to your situation and it's likely you'll be starting at the lower end!

With a little research and some hard work, you can find success and plenty of paying clients in this rewarding field.

To be a successful freelance writer, you'll need:

With the right skills and hard work, you can make a great living as a freelance writer. So if you're looking for an interesting and rewarding career, then freelance writing could be perfect for you.
