Have You Tried Freelance Writing?

i want to try being a freelance writer as writing is one of my passion but i dont know where can i go coz i only want online. like submit article, report or etc online and they will pay me for that. can you share me the site too so maybe i try and lets see if i can make it. hope you will share how im very much interested. hehe

There are a lot of sites online that offer jobs, but I have only been writing for Helium and Associated Content. That way, I write when I want to, not to any set schedule. I think it works best for me. Next I want to explore Constant Content, as I have heard a lot of good things about them. Eventually I would be happy to move into more challenging work, but I don't like the feeling of deadlines breathing down my neck. It works great for some people, but I like more flexibility. Also I like choosing the subject matter. What do you usually write about...or are you working to assignments?

I currently do freelance writing as a source of income and have for the past three years now. I make decent money when I work. I set my own hours and work only when I want to. I write for Associated Content, Demand Studios, and ehow.com. They are decent paying sites. I like writing and love how I can work only when I want to. Especially since sometimes I have trouble concentrating and can't write. I'm sure if I put more effort into it, I would make a lot more. :)

I write and submit articles on a few sites, but as for freelancing, I can't say that I have gained enough confidence in myself to go that route quite yet. I am a pretty good writer, but I think I need to do a bit more practicing before I go into freelincing.

I am not sure I would want to work hourly as a writer but then again it would probably still be better than some wage an hour job I had no interest in. I suppose it would depend on the number of hours and what the rate was. I wouldn't do it full time because that isn't freelancing and doesn't give the same flexibility. Is middlemen a website?

I only started freelance writing a week or so ago, and I've already made over $10.00. I got a job through GAF and although the pay doesn't seem all that impressive, I kinda enjoy honing my writing skills so I'm happy to be doing it for extra cash on the side. I wouldn't work hourly either, because I'm doing freelancing BECAUSE I get to manage my time (I'm a full-time student). I love it...although when I have to churn 8+ penny articles on the same topic, it gets a little tedious towards the end. But it's easy money (for me at least) and I think it's a much better way to procrastinate than just surfing the web. :)

i did, several years ago and was writing non fiction. i had this gig where i was paid about $10- for a 500 word piece. now, most sites only give you a couple of dollars for 500 words. its just not worth it anymore.

I'm trying to do some freelance writing. I couldn't get my resume to upload in the right format for Odesk. I really wanted to do it. What's with this middlemen you speak of? Please, by all means fill me in. I gotta do something quick.

I submit articles to Helium for exclusive rights and earn both upfront and passive income. At least I get to retain the rights to the articles, and can repost in other writing sites. I prefer this form of freelance writing, since I can write whenever I want, and do not have to worry about payment. Helium and AC are legitimate writing sites. I understand the payment method and can decide on how much I want to make in a month.

The freelance writing work I do varies and each type has its positives and negatives. Article writing sites I can work for when I have the time and I can earn from past articles and with freelance sites I am tied to a schedule and to deadlines but they pay better. You just need to choose which best suits you and the time you have available and you aren't tied to any particular site,you only need to bid on freelance projects when you know you have the time to complete them.

To me that's also hating to get a 8-hour work,I'd like to do what you are doing now.And I joined freelance before and there is different kinds of jobbut I even could not find a suitable job.By the way,what kind of jobs do you do on freelance?Thanks.

i'm a newbie freelance writer. i am only 2 weeks old. so far, the workload is okay. one of my employers requires only about 5 300-word articles a day. the other sends me assignments every 2 days (3-5 250-word articles). that's why i'm thinking of applying to more freelance writing jobs.
