9 Resources for Writing and Other Jobs Work from Home.

 

Before embarking on freelance writing or work from home, here are some things to consider:

What Type of Writing?

First, you need to decide what kind of work you want.

If you are a blogger, there are many blogging and ghost travelling posts. 

(blogging without crediting your name).

However, you may feel ready to get out of that box and into a brand ambassador, writing product descriptions or copywriting. You will have experience in every field you enter, so put it on your resume if you have any. If you have to the know-how of close contacts in these areas, consider offering your services on a limited or low cost once or twice, to get your feet wet. I don’t advise making this habit, but willing companies and brands are always beneficial.

How much to pay for writing?

Paying for writing varies. Some gigs pay for the word, and they offer some fees.

Because competition is stiff, and newbies may believe they can’t write for more than a few dollars.

Another thing you have to consider is that some sites pay revenue instead of word count, you get some advertising. 

Other sites offer reader votes or quantity bonuses, even though regular pay is low or does not come.

While making a few dollars for a job might be great now, you seem to have done a lot of work with almost nothing in return down the road.

It works for me for a short time, but if you don’t get comfortable starting with that low pay, you’ll post a guest post on a topic you’re passionate about and familiar with. You will focus on writing something you care about that will inspire you to write well and build your reputation. 

You cannot guarantee that the amount of income you receive will be worth the time and effort, and you may write a lower quality piece.

Where to Publish Your Samples?

Don’t have a website or your blog is too personal; you will need a portfolio of writing pieces online.

Most job advertisements ask for writing examples – allowing you to get a good gig without a lot of experience. You can easily create a website by following these instructions.

Where Can You Find Freelance Writing Jobs?

Remember to apply for any job on these boards the same way you would apply for any other job: write an effective cover letter that targets the prospective client, upload a professional resume, and submit custom writing samples.

1. Problogger Job Board

Brought to you by the trusted folks at ProBlogger, this blogging work is primarily listed, and that is why it is the first source I get. Many of the ads here are quite comprehensive and tell you precisely what you need with experienced and sensible parameters. They break jobs out of blog web posts vs job offers from companies. The leading site also offers plenty of blogging advice.

2. Freelance Writing Gigs

It is categorized by section, “Content Writing Topics,” “Blogging Posts,” and so on, allowing you to write a post that is not strictly blogging but in translation content or educational materials.

You can also subscribe and have mail delivered to your inbox. The blog also offers great advice for landing posts.

They also have occasional freelance work and remote jobs, though many of these are full-time gigs in all media areas. A convenient place to search for jobs by location. This site offers the latest media news, and many paid training options.

4. Journalism Jobs

Like Media Bistro, this site allows you to search by post types (blogger, writer). Don’t be afraid of the name of the site; local blog posts are available here. It also offers lots of advice and training in the field, as well as journalistic news.

5. Your Craigslist Language

Be very careful with this one, but you can find local and remote work on this site.

ProBlogger and Freelance Writing Gigs often help with the best ads from this site; however, that doesn’t mean you can’t find work nearby through Craigslist. Here is a problem that some of these links can be spam. If he looks at an ad or is simply screaming, “work from home!” You can be sure that it is spam.

6. Morning Coffee Newsletter

FreelanceCriting.com and is a substantial source for freelance blogging work. The weekly email contains a brief report, so you have to click on the links that relate to you. One of my most valuable resources to find work from home, so I recommend you sign up for it.

 

7. Blogging Posts

These are also separated by hire type: blogger, copyright, editor. Only open/recent positions are listed. Also, there is blogging advice.

8.LinkedIn Posts

Due to its nature as a professional site, LinkedIn is a great place to search for work from home, detail your work experience, gather finishes, and connect with the companies and areas you want to work with. Besides, you choose what you are looking for from contacts and how you want to achieve them with you.

While not my most fantastic resource for finding work, I have supported some interesting projects through my contacts.

9. Register with Creative Placement Firms Creative Circle

This option works best for you if you can do a short-notice, live TV job near a big city, and are looking for written work that employs more like full-time – that is, working for days full or weeks at a time and will most likely be on the spot for clients. I recently signed The Creative Group and Creative Circle.

Where to Find Else to write?

I found some of my best work writing for friends and family for full pay, so no stone is left unturned.

Look for local companies that want to be a part of targeted magazines and take pitches in your niche. Personal events and meetings made out my list of places where I went on writing contracts. And where to find work from home.

You will find these sources when you started introducing your first freelance writing job and building your skills.

Other ways to find and keep writing clients include:

1. Have a blog

Blogging provides great editing, writing, and proofreading experience. Position your blog in the niche you want to write from lifestyle if you’re going to work with brands, techie if you want to do science or technical writing, style if you want to work, and so on. You can do this like work from home.

2. Contact in person, strategically

If you are attending events to find brands and companies to work with, it is not enough to release your business card and media equipment at all of them.

Review who is attending the event and choose your top 5 or 6 to contact. Contact the brand before going to the event. Think of creative ways you can work with them ahead of time and why they should hire them above anyone else. What will you do for them that no one else can do as well?
