A ‘Hidden’ Gem For Online Writers — Freelance Writing.Com
If you have started as a copywriter, but have never gone to Freelance Writing.com, you may just want to head over there and check it out. These guys have collected some of the finest resources on the web together in one place. Writer forums, freelance writing jobs, articles, guidelines, and more you want to bookmark this site.
I have yet to participate in the writers forums there. Honestly, it just isn’t something I have time for on top of all the other projects I have on the go, and another huge project on the horizon. I do recommend browsing through it though.
Their articles, free ebooks, white papers and other resources are filled with important information. I guarantee that if you need to know something about writing, you’ll find it or a link to it there. Spending time digging through this stuff is well worth the effort.
The freelance writing jobs section pulls open jobs from all over the web including more prominent sites like Elance as well as many of the hidden ones. This eliminates having to bounce through 20 or 30 sites at once. This is a huge bonus for anyone needing to spend less time looking for work, and more time actually making money. Keep your eye out for the gems!
I won’t argue that writing online can certainly be profitable, but you shouldn’t overlook the traditional magazine industry either. With the economy on a harsh downward style, more and more of them are replacing journalists and in-house writers with freelancers. While I don’t necessarily agree with some of this, it does open that market up to those of us without formal training. If you get the right opportunity, it could mean great things in the long term once this crazy world straightens itself out.
Just like in-print media can be a good thing, submitting to printed media without doing your homework can devastate a career in an instant. Freelance Writing.Com has an extensive list of writer’s guidelines that you will want to check out.
Freelance Writing.Com knows that writing isn’t just about work, and they addressed that with their writing contest and events sections. It is definitely worth a peek if you have some time on your hands, or would like to connect with other writers.
Head over, and have a look. Let me know what you think!
