10 Places to Find Paid Freelance Writing Jobs
Even if it’s only on a part-time basis, taking on a few freelance writing or paid blogging gigs comes with major benefits including:
- Getting a better job: Nowadays, many companies search online profiles before making a new hire. Those who have a strong online influence are usually more preferred. Freelance writing can help establish this online influence.
- Growing your network: The more you put yourself out there as a writer, the more visible you are to readers. You will be able to engage in more conversations – whether it’s through email or comments.
- Improving your skills: Your writing only gets better with each article or blog post. Also, you learn something new every time you write, whether it’s through research, a new writing tactic, or any kind of epiphany. Writing makes great mental practice.
- Establishing yourself as an expert: As you share more of your expertise, you will develop an expert reputation. Your own website may change from “just another blog” to a valuable resource to your readers.
- Earning money doing what you love: Nothing compares to earning money and enjoying what you do! Need I say more?
With that said, you have to know where to look for these freelance writer/blogger jobs. Here’s a list of 10 job boards that may help you find what you’re looking for. As with anything else, use these sites at your own discretion and explore the site before deciding whether it’s a good fit for you.
6. Elance
7. Media Bistro
8. Simply Hired
9. Flexjobs.com
10. Indeed
Many freelance writing and blogging jobs pay per post and require some sort of consistent schedule. Compensation varies on how involved each post is, as well as your own experience as a writer.
I recommend fixing up your resume and re-evaluating your online presence: Do you have an online portfolio that lists your bylined work? Is your portfolio easy to read, easy on the eyes? Are you active on Twitter and LinkedIn?
If you have happened to use any of the above websites, leave a comment below. I would love to know about your experience with any of these websites. I’ve landed many freelance gigs off Indeed.com, and I recently signed up for Flexjobs.com.

I recently read an article discussing the importance of hiring a knowledgeable catastrophic injury lawyer to handle complex cases. The author emphasized how their expertise can make a significant difference in securing fair compensation for victims. As someone who has witnessed the impact of a catastrophic injury on a family member, I wholeheartedly agree with the author’s perspective. It’s crucial to have a dedicated legal professional on your side, ensuring your rights and interests are protected throughout the legal process.
I recently discovered your insightful blog post on tongue piercings and their potential risks, and I found it particularly helpful, especially when it comes to avoiding an infected tongue piercing. As someone who has experienced the discomfort and pain of an infected tongue piercing, I can’t stress enough the significance of adhering to proper aftercare procedures and promptly seeking medical attention if any signs of infection arise. If only I had come across your informative content earlier, it would have saved me from the agonizing experience of dealing with an infected tongue piercing. Thank you for your efforts in raising awareness about the potential hazards associated with piercings and offering valuable advice on how to minimize these risks through appropriate care and attention. Keep up the excellent work!
