what is the best site for freelance writing?

Go with Triond, and then Bukisa. I say that because you can write things on triond, and then reuse what you have written on bukisa, which is allowed. That is what I do. Check out my profile for tips on the site. Also, triond is probably the easiest one to start out on , then bukisa.

Everybody who responds to this discussion is going to give you a different answer. There's no *best*. It depends on what kind of writing you want to do, how much you expect to be paid, what your skill level is, and whether the site will pay you if you don't live in the US. There's already lots of advice here on Mylot. All you have to do is search for the site names. But the only way you're really going to find the best for you is by going to the sites, reading their FAQs and guidelines and looking around to see what kind of writing is featured or highly rated.

I agree with Cantana but have a little more to add. Have a brand as well as flexibility to write general consumer articles. Are you really informative,funny or combination of both? In other words, do you have a voice or are you just telling facts? I say this because so many people are getting on the boat for someone whose been at it since 2006, it has forced me to be creative in my content,marketing, etc. Some people knock ghostwriting (uncredited) for content companies like Content Authority and TextBroker but I think of it this way, it's 10 or 25 U.S. dollars you might not have had 5 minutes before. Best in your endeavors!
