Is Anyone Interested In Getting Into (Online) Freelance Writing?

That's just your fear talking - that's not really you. But I do understand where you're coming from - more than you know. You CAN do it. take care...

Ok. I hear you. take care now :-)

haha! Thanks browneyed! Yeah, u're right, it's fear! =X Maybe I'll hang around in mylot for a few months first while doing more researching about it before actually trying it heeh. ;)

Hi sdas86 I mostly use the Digital Point forums and have written about it in more detail on my blog. Feel free to read more about it there. take care...

Hi, Thanks. I will visit your blog to have a look. :)

I have thought of it but since im just in my teens, i need to learn a bit more until i can know and write better. In the future, the're no doubt that i will venture in the freelancing world. :)

Good on you! Hopefully, in another 6 months, you would have made enough to pay even more of your bills (and treat yourself, too). take care...

Hi gabesmom! I use a site called Digital Point forums. I've written a post about it on my blog (link's in my profile). After reading it, if you're interested in finding out more, do let me know. take care...

Thanks again, I'll surely check it out. I wish you continued success with the program.

Thanks, gabesmom! That's really nice of you! I wish you the same. take care now...

Hi jewelenterprises! It sucks that you can't go back and edit posts on myLot 'cos on hindsight I should have added a couple more things to my initial post. Ah well... I get most of my gigs off the Digital Point forums - have you heard of them before? I use their Content Creation section. They're doing maintenance work on their site at the moment, so it's not up, but here's the link to the section I use: http://forums.digitalpoint.com/forumdisplay.php?102. I'd say 70% of what's there is $0.01/word gigs (which I totally avoid). However, I've gotten some great gigs off there that pay better - much better. Which sites do you use? take care...

someone i know is using associated content and helium they seem to like it any of you have more sites? btw i love the name of your blog! lol made me laugh when I seen it, if you have any info you would like to share please send me a message!! my blog is in my profile if you want to check it out

Actually, that's one site I hadn't heard of. The other ones that I use are craigslist, elance and ideamarketers (you can register as a ghostwriter) And I love your blog name.... tee hee, if I got paid for that I'd be a millionaire. They could distill it and use it as rocketfuel LOL.

vicneedscoffee If you enjoy writing, then you're half the way there! For me, I got into (online) freelance writing rather reluctantly. I'm an artist and a poet. I run the odd workshop or two a month. I just didn't think (online) freelance writing was for me, but that's the way it's worked out. I've gotten some great gigs that make me feel that maybe I can actually add this to my repetoire - maybe I'm meant to be doing this alongside other stuff. So in the short to medium term, that's what I plan to do! Pass by my blog when you get the time (and if you want to) - I wrote a review of DP there. I think DP's going thru maintenance at the mo' 'cos their site's down, but when it't back up, have a browse through. take care...

Thank you, I will.

Hi snowy22315 Thanks for adding to the discussion. I don't think money can necessarily be made on all of them; however, everyone's experience is different and you probably do have some people who make money on just about every writing site they hit (lucky them!). I didn't have much luck on sites like Helium or GetaFreelancer - however, Digital Point is where I found my fit (so I definitely agree with on the comfort front). I think I'm getting too comfortable though and should perhaps look at one or two other sites where I can secure gigs. take care...

Hi Allie_xoxo! School of Journalism? Good on ya! I'd be happy to help. Take a look at my blog first - there's a review I wrote on there about DP. There are SO MANY forums on DP so my review was from a freelance-writing perspective. take care and welcome to the online money-making world!
