Just received some $$$ from Freelance Writing!

Online, I mostly write for Triond. I have stopped for awhile in order to complete this assignment. I hope to resume but going to try another site, possibly AC. I also repost my articles on Hubpages. I also blog at Today.com. They have not paid me yet, but I hope that will be soon as well. Great to know that you have some connections. They are important. I got this job from a friend too. He could not do it himself and asked his boss whether I could help. He agreed and I got the contract. This time I'm being paid on a per assignment basis. I don't know what the future holds. This is my first freelance job afterall. Thank you for your response!

HI Gracie, Yup! I blog too. At Today.com, you can earn $1 per blog post, at least for the first month when they will review your blog. Try that one! As for online freelance writing work, I would suggest Elance. Try search for a job there and bid for it. If you are chosen, then you can start your job immediately. The money will be given to you when you ahve completed your job. Very secure! Try it.

according to one of my friends that post on today.com they do not pay people that sign up the one dollar a day anymore. he posted this today so i hope it is of use to you. I've never used it but I'm sure that you can still make some money if you spend time gettin people to visit your blog.

Yah! Thank you, Sydney. I'm putting in more effort into online writing now.

About 30 hubs now. I've been so busy with other things projects that my writing time there has been limited, but I will write more hubs as soon as I can squeeze the time LOL. Being that my time is limited, when I do write I just try my best to write quality content and I optimize it with good keywords. Good Content + Good Keywords can translate into Great Earnings!

I must really learn from you. I probably have about 20 or so hubs, but not earnings as much. Can you show me some of your hubs so I could learn something from there? I'm really lousy at writing keyword articles. I'm trying to learn how to do that. Help me, please!

Hi multimastery, You are doing very well at Hubpages. How do you do that? How many hubs do you have there? I will take a look at your hubs. I have a lot to learn from the master.

Thank you! I never thought I would go into writing either, but the opportunity came by and I had to give it a shot, even though I know I was busy with my daughter. But if I did not take it up, I don't think I will earn the money I earned. Congrats on making payment! I did too after not making it the previous month. We'll be getting it pretty soon. Yippee!

Hi Opal, It's about time you get started. You write very well, I think you can make it. Try writing about things you know first and post them up, then you can venture into those writing on demand types. All the best! I hope I meet the deadline too. That's $150 extra, and I hope I get it.

You're doing well, Jena! You get review requests every now and then? Do you post them at your blog? How do you come to get them? Hope 2009 would be a wonderful year for you to earn more money online!

Thanks for the info. I think I tried to apply but was rejected. Maybe my blog was new then. Should try now, but too busy at this moment. Talk to you again Jena!

I know you are due this month right? I wish you a smooth delivery. I'm sure there are avenues both of us have not explored and we could share the information. Keep in touch! Have not heard of digital studios though. Are you referring to Demand Studios instead?

HI Kaka, Helium is a good start. I don't write for Helium that much, but if you slowly build up your writing there, you may earn quite a bit of money from the site. If you browse topics on Helium here or read the FAQ there, you will probably understand how it works. Have not been there for a long time... With practice, I'm sure you will be able to write well. All the best!

I know. It's tough, isn't it, to have a baby in tow and still try to write. I can only find the time to write when she sleeps in the afternoon or at night. But sometimes I'm just too exhausted. I'm sure you will get back on track pretty soon.

Good luck..

Hi Donna, I never thought of writing as a career, but this may be the start to it. Sometimes we just need to write to see if it's our forte. I started writing for websites like Triond and AC since last year and loved it. myLot is hard work and it's definitely not residual income. If you write for Triond or AC, you post your article once and you get paid everytime people view it, even if they view it the next month or the next year. However, this writing assignment came at a good time. Even with writing online, I do not earn very much. I few pennies at mylot and a few pennies at my writing sites. All in all, I may be receiving $10-20 per month or slightly more if I work really really hard and write some reviews as well. But freelance writing, you can earn much more from the same time you spent online here at mylot and other writing sites. So give it a go! You will never know what opportunities might come by your way. All the best, Donna! BTW, I'm earning S$800 (US$545) for 12,000 word piece and S$150 (US$100) extra if I complete them by this Thursday. I'd better get going. Cheers!

Congrats! That is pretty good money. And this is your first writing assignment! That is awesome. Good luck on the deatline.

Thank you! It's great to hear other stay at home moms and dads looking for freelance writing jobs online and offline, to stay close to their children. I have never tried writing a dissertation before. Need to put in a lot of effort, especially with quoting references and thinking of own theories and stuff. Gone are the days when I wrote such a piece in uni. But if I'm forced to make money that way, I guess I can still do it. BUt now, I'm just looking for other possible opportunities open to me. At the same time, trying to write a book with a couple of writers, and trying to start a website. I wonder how it is all going to fit in, but trying... All the best to the both of us!

Thank you, Janet! I'm writing lesson plans for GP paper. Not pretty exciting and glamorous as your dance column though. But the important thing is I'm quite familiar with the requirements being an ex-school teacher. It is actually drafts for online website to teach GP. Important thing is it pays!

Hey, whatever pays the bills, lol. I have done a few odd ones for some dance magazines but, again, it has been a long while. Here is a link to one that I wrote a few years back... http://danceruniverse.com/stories/issues/200406/boys-and-ballet/

Thank you insulin! Don't give up! There are legit sites that pay freelance writers. One of them is Elance. Have you tried bidding for a job there? The one I received payment for is actually an offline writing assignment. I got it through a friend, so kind of him to recommend me. He knew that I was staying home looking after my daughter and could do with a little bit of cash. So grateful to him! I will definitley try online jobs too soon. If I come across any good sites, will inform you. All the best!

Thanks...:-0 I will look forward with that..:-0 I am still searching and yeah I will never give up on this..:-0 God bless and have a nice day..;-0

Welcome to myLot! What would you like to know about myLot? I would love to guide you if you can tell me what guidance you need.

Hello, As i have described about myself ,in that concern how can i get writing jobs or assignments or others?

I don't see why you can't take projects online. There are legitimate sites that will help protect both writers and their buyers. I have not tried freelance writing online, but I have tried getting some writer to write for me through this site called Elance. I will be looking out for opportunities there as well, if I ran out of offline assignments. All the best!

Hi Derek! At this moment, my blog is on hold until I finish this writing project, or I;m not going to get paid for the rest of it. I'm also writing some reviews, blogs and articles. But like I said, all on hold, until I can clear this one big thing off my mind. Got to go and finish it up now! Thank you for dropping by my discussion!

I find that it's quite competitive too. I know this company also subcontracts to people in India. They may pay them less than me, I guess. I hope I get more assignments after this too. Good luck in your negotiation!

Hi iakul, I saw you in another discussion and I have not heard from you in a very long time, I thought. I thought I have missed some of your discussions. Where'd you go? Thanks for dropping my blog. It has not been updated in a long time, have been busy with this assignment and I just heard from them that my work had typo and grammar errors, very disheartening indeed. Wonder if I would get anymore assignments after this. Miss you

Thanks dreamweaverjan, I'm quite excited and looking for more paychecks in the future. At this moment, I just have to concentrate on the assignment at hand. Wish me luck that I get to complete it on time.

Thanks warrior, Glad it's working out. I hope to get more jobs from them too in the future to supplement me, now that I'm not working full-time. Thank you for responding!
