Any advice for someone trying to get into Freelance writing?

I do freelance writing for Associated Content, suite101 and Helium. AC pays once and you get $3 - $50 for a 400-800 word article. suite101 pays over time based on page visits to your articles. The pay is much less but it is residual so in time you can build up a steady income. Helium is similar to suite101, a residual income. Check out these sites and most importantly, write every day. Write about a wide variety of subjects to practice your skills and to discover what you enjoy writing about the most. Best of luck.

I use Constant Content to write for, because Associated Content offers such low amounts for the work you'd be putting into the articles. At least at Constant Content, you get to price the articles yourself, so you know that you are being paid fairly. Though because of this, it takes longer for the articles to find a buyer, but if you are in it for the long run, it can be much more profitable. Especially considering people get super excited when Associated Content offers them $20 for there article, when I've been paid $150 for an article more than once from Constant Content. Anyway, if you want to check it out, here's the link: http://www.constant-content.com/?aref=2932 If you have any questions, just let me know. By the way, constant content is also open to international members, while associated content is only open to the US.

Associated Content is the best for quick cash, they pay and pay quickly compared to other sites.

the only suggestion I can give you is write what YOU like and not what people want to read... good luck!

I write for Shvoong : www.shvoong.com/aff-CC0B A great site for earning residual income - just publish as many articles as you can and then you might like to post their links in related forums (even in myLot...). The best thing - they have an affiliate program. Good luck!

There are a lot of resources for freelance writers out there, but a good place to get started is this website: http://www.freelancewriting.com/

If you really think you are good at writing, and you want to get work, you can sign up for free at: http://www.getafreelancer.com/affiliates/badpenny There are several article writing positions open each day, and it is pretty easy work. You have to bid for each project, but I won 2 separate contracts my first day, and had money in my PayPal account for one, and my bank account for another in a couple of days. To get practice, all you have to do is keep being active on Mylot, and other similar sites, and just remember all those writing rules you learned in grammar school.

I am also planning to get into writing, which is one of the best way to earn good money here at the internet. I know of one site which is not listed here. Please give me a pm so that I could give the link to you. I have added you as a friend, please accept it. Thanks a lot, my friend.
