Legitimate Freelance Writing Jobs Website?

Two things today dear readers: (i) a website where freelancers can make money (maybe); and (ii) I’m kinda pissed at you guys. Let’s get to number ii first.

Why I’m Kinda Pissed at You Guys!

And I say the following with the utmost love, of course.

In the last issue of Inkwell Editorial’s freelance writing newsletter, I talked about how I was suspending publication for a while because I needed to focus more on my new fast-growing SEO writing company. And, just when I do that, how do you respond? By writing in imploring me not to stop publishing it b/c it’s been such a great help, so inspiring, yadda, yadda, yadda.

Usually, you guys aren't so vocal. So I guess a lot of you really are reading the newsletter. What’s a girl to do!

Get the Inside Scoop on Constant-Content.com: How Much Can You Really Make?

I was going to suspend publication until the spring, but I have three great interviewees lined up so come January, the newsletter will be out again. January’s issue will give us the inside scoop on Constant-Content.com.

I interview freelancer Lisa Sanderson. She’s been using Constant-Content.com for a few years now. I like firsthand information, so I’m curious to see what she has to say about the site. I’ve been wondering about it for a while because I receive a lot of content requests from them – and they seem to pay a bit more than the article mill rates you find on a lot of freelance writing job sites.

Lisa's info should help you to make a decision as to whether or not the site would work for you.

Legitimate Freelance Writing Jobs Website?

I ran across ClicknWork.com in some web surfing and was wondering if anybody had any experience with it. It seems legit. They have work-from-home jobs for all kinds of professionals, including writers. For writers, the site says that you can make $5-$40 hour and that “writers work across many sectors …. and assignments come regularly.”

Learn more about ClicknWork freelance writing jobs. AND, don’t forget, if you have experience with this site, let me know (info *at* InkwellEditorial.com). I’d like to feature you in an interview in an upcoming issue of the newsletter.

Why Freelance Writing Jobs Are Plentiful Right Now

As I mentioned in last Thursday's post, today I was supposed to talk about how I negotiated with clients on three different occasions last week (the rate/fee question), and managed to come away doing ok. But alas, I've been slammed this week. I mean SLAMMED!

Last week it seemed that all of my troublesome clients came out of the woodwork, as I talked about here. This week, it's raining new clients AND old clients with multiple new projects. I'm literally swamped. My work days have started at 6am and ran right through until midnight or 1am the past two days, and it's gonna be that way this entire week.

I say all this to say that I'm going back to a series of quick tips this week, and will pick up with my usual in-depth posting style next week, as I only have 15 -30 minutes to devote to blogging the next few days.

So, four things I want to tell you today.

1. FREELANCE WRITING JOB LEADS FROM ASSOCIATED CONTENT

Last week, I made a quick $45 with Associated Content (AC) for two articles. How? Well, they've been posting a lot of pretty good paying "Calls for Content" lately. I did one article on How to Write a Small Business Plan for $25 (about 45 minutes to write), and another on What All-in-One Printers Can Do For Small Business Owners for $20 (maybe 20 minutes to write).

What are Calls for Content? It's basically a request they send out for certain topics they want you to write about. The pay ranges from $0 (just performance payments) on up to $25, which is the most I've ever seen one for. I perk up when I see $20 and $25, because usually they only have to be 250 to 400 words, and because I'm an SEO writer, I can churn these out like lightning (especially if they have to do with business).

I have claimed four more to write that are due on Thursday, and none are more than 400 words. Each pays $20 and I'd be surprised if it took me more than an hour and a half to do all of them. So, if you're not familiar with AC or haven't given them a look in a while, cruise on over. It could be worth your while.

Following are a few available ones as of this posting.

Your Pregnancy and the Dentsit ($20): This content may or may not be published on DentalPlans.com. If published on that site, it will appear with your byline and a link to your AC profile page, but it will not be eligible for performance payments.Importance of proper nutrition, effects on unborn child, loss of calcium, radiation, medications and options for treating a tooth ache when pregnant. Word Count: 250 to 350 words. Keywords: pregnancy dentist, pregnancy dental x-rays, pregnancy dental careAlso read the Dental Plans Writer Guidelines.

Caring for Someone with Parkinson's Disease ($25): This content may be published on Disaboom.com. If your content is published, it will appear with your byline (or your AC pen name if you've provided a professional one) but it will not be eligible for performance payments. Your Assignment: Interview the following AC CP who has Parkinson's disease. She has agreed to be interviewed for this article. Contact her via her profile page. The writer guidelines below will explain more about the assignment.

How to Hold an Estate Sale ($25): This content may be published on a new IAC Web site (TBA). If published, it will appear with your AC pen name (as long as it is professional). It is not eligible for performance payments. Word Count: 750 to 1,000. Keyphrases: estate sale (5% density and used in first paragraph); local estate sales. Notes from IAC editors: Cover the basics on what to sell, how to price and how to advertise. Assume that there are no legal issues preventing the estate sale, but make mention of what happens if the money from the sale will be assigned to a trust. (NOTE: This is kind of a long one; they usually only request 250-500 words). But, hey, if you have the time and the interest . . . )

NOTE: You must be an AC Content Producer (CP) to write these. Don't worry, it's free to sign up, and you can do it and start writing immediately.

View all AC Calls for Content here. Learn more about Calls for Content here.

2. BLOGGING JOB JOB LEAD FROM THE RHYTHIM OF WRITE

This job lead comes from Deborah Dera of therhythmofwrite.com. She left a comment on my blog last Thursday, so I clicked over to her blog, and lo and behold, she had a great writeup on a paid blogging gig site I'd never heard of. So, check out this post on her blog about PayU2Blog.com. You may be able to pick up some nice pocket change like Deborah has.

Thanks Deborah for the tip!

3. Tomorrow I'll pass along a ton of leads from Constant-Content (CC). If my experience this week and the emails I'm getting from CC are any indication, clients are coming out of the woodworks these days. There's so much frelance writing work out there right now it's insane -- especially for SEO writers! My inbox and phone have been blown up with client request for proposals and outright signing on the dotted line.

I'll share a quick tip from an interesting conversation I had with an SEO internet marketing firm exec tomorrow. And finally. . .

4. This blog is in a contest, and we came through the first round a winner! John Hewitt of Poewar.com, in honor of March Madness, put together a very unique contest entitled March Writing Blog Madness! The purpose: "A field of 32 blogs about writing will gather to compete to see who is the best." Read more about it here. And read how we fared in the first round of the contest here.

It's a great way to discover new freelance writing blogs, and to get in-depth information on which ones you may want to consider becoming regular readers of.

I have two more hours to put in before getting some shut-eye and getting up and doing it all again. Until tomorrow.

Yuwanda Black, Publisher

3 Reasons to Write for Low-Paying Online Sites

I contribute to AssociatedContent.com (AC) and eHow on a pretty regular basis; I’ve posted a couple of articles to Helium.

Regular readers of my blog and newsletter may wonder why I contribute to low-paying online sites like this when I earn more from my SEO and other freelance writing gigs. Well, there are three reasons. One was sitting in my inbox when I logged on this morning. It's what prompted this post. Read the rest here.

FYI, the latest edition of Inkwell Editorial's newsletter was published yesterday. What's inside? An interview with Author, Copywriter and Consultant Shel Horowitz.

Shel shares tips on how to market you freelance writing services on a shoe-string budget (he's written five books grassroots marketing); how he created multiple streams of income (writing, speaking, consulting) and more.

10 Telecommuting Jobs (Careers that let you work from home)

I ran across an article on CareerBuilder entitled 10 Jobs That Let You Work From Home (see link below) that inspired to day's post.

How Getting Engaged Led to a Telecommuting Career after 23 Years

I was talking to a girlfriend of mine who lives in New York City yesterday. We first met at the legal publishing firm where we she still works in 1987. She's getting married next year and will be moving to South Carolina.

As she's been with the company for something like 22 or 23 years, I asked her, "What are you going to do for work when you get married and move down south (all us good girls eventually come back to the south!)."

She said, "Oh, I've already talked to my supervisor about working from home/telecommuting."

I said, "They're gonna let you do that?"

She said, "You remember K who used to work here? Well, she got engaged last year and her fiance's job moved him to Texas. She went with him and she's telecommuting."

I know three more women from the company (two who got married) and one who just wanted to, who telecommute as well. So, it probably going to work out for her. One lives in DC, one in New Jersey and another in New York City.

Freelancing, Outsourcing & Telecommuting are on the Rise

To give some background, this company has always outsourced work. In fact, it's how my company, Inkwell Editorial, began. You can read the entire story in the ebook, In Business: From Startup to Success! My girlfriend told me that in recent years, they have made cuts and are outsourcing a lot more work to India (outsourcing used to be done locally and on a small scale).

As a matter of fact, another one of my close girlfriends who worked at the same company was downsized last year out of her middle management job after 15 years due to these cuts.

This is a large legal publisher who was bought several years ago by an even larger publishing conglomerate. My point in telling you all of this is that companies are more willing than ever to offer telecommuting options. And, they are relying on outsource options evermore as well.

Hence, if you see a company that offers telecommuting options, that's a good one to apply to as a freelancer. For more info on telecommuting careers, see the aforementioned article on CareerBuilder.com, 10 Jobs That Let You Work From Home.

Two New Moneymaking Freelance Writing Ebooks

FYI, I'm about 25% finished with the newest ebook from Inkwell Editorial entitled How to Find Unpublished Freelance Writing Jobs. I manage to stay pretty busy as a freelance writer. Part of that is due to the fact that I seek out assignments in unfamiliar ways. This ebook will address how to go about doing that so that your pipeline is practically always full.

I will be releasing two new ebooks within the next couple of weeks; the aforementioned one, and I'm putting the finishing touches on How to Start a Popular, Profitable Freelance Writing Blog, the ebook I discussed in the latest issue of Inkwell Editorial's newsletter. Want a copy? Subscribe to read the most recent issue, and all previous issues.

Today's Freelance Writing Jobs / SEO Writing Jobs
Note about job listings:
I list positions that offer immediate work – and future work. Keeping your pipeline full requires taking a long-range approach and thinking out of the box (eg, sending in your credentials to FT postings). That's why explanations are given w/some listings.

Technical Writer

Copywriter

Copywiter Needed For Print Ads & Marketing

Web Content Writer with Emphasis on SEO

Internet Content Editor (it's good to have your resume on file with firms like this; trust me, they keep them around and call in a pinch!)

Why Freelance Writers May Be the Poorest Internet Entrepreneurs (Part II of II)

Today’s post is a continuation of yesterday’s post. Without further ado, other reasons freelance writers may be the poorest internet entrepreneurs are:

3. Nobody wants to pay for content: I’ve written on this so many times, I just don’t want to go over it again.

However, I will point out that as outlets like social bookmarking sites and free article directories abound -- many just don't feel the need to pay for original content. And why should they?

They can link to an article, or as long as they put in the resource box, outright publish an article on their website, blog, or in their newsletter.

***************************************
4. Publishing is "easy": Easy is in quotation marks because as anyone who's ever started a publication of any kind knows, it's not. Yes, to start is easy. To make money from it is a whole other ball of wax. Why?

Because that means treating is as a business and marketing, marketing, marketing it to the hilt. I daresay that many freelance writers are introverts when it comes to the work. We don't really care for bugging people to buy an e-book, place an ad, sign up for a seminar. Who likes to be told no, no, no? No one.


BUT, to make a living from our words, that's what we have to endure, which brings me to my next point, marketing.

5. Marketing is not easy for most freelance writers: Many freelance writers drop the ball when it comes to marketing.

That’s why there are so many abandoned websites and blogs, why there are so many suspended newsletters and why many freelancers never finish and/or start that e-book, e-course, etc.

Give Freelance Writing Poverty the Boot!

How? By taking the following steps:

Make marketing a habit: To do this, with each venture – create a marketing plan. It doesn’t have to be elaborate, but it does have to be specific.

Eg, I will contact 25 new prospects a day inviting them to join my newsletter.

I will write and submit 1 article to five different article directories a day.

I will update my blog daily.

Whatever your plan is, write it down, look at it daily and get it done.

Think long range: Eg, pre-market. What I mean is, if you know you want to publish an e-book, start marketing it 4, 5, 6 months or more in advance.

This does two things: (a) it forces you to stick to a schedule to get the book done; and (b) it gets you in the habit of marketing before the product is even ready.

Once the product is finished, you’ll be even more motivated to market because that means money in your pocket right away.

Focus on building a brand, not making a one-time sale: For example, I’m known for writing about the “business of creative freelancing.” All of my e-books and e-courses focus on this.

I write e-books about it, I blog about it, I conduct e-courses and seminars on it and I publish a newsletter on it. I’m consistent – I’m all about the business of creative freelancing.

When prospects think of me, they don’t think of me as one-hit wonder. They know they can count on me again and again to deliver on one subject – the business of creative freelancing.

In short, target a niche and become the best in that niche. You want top of mind for something – not bottom of the drawer for everything. While I’m not saying you can’t be successful as an all-around writer, my sincere belief is that niche writing makes freelancing so much easier.

Don’t believe me? Read Nancy Hendrickson’s article entitled, Why Niche, Why Now? Nancy’s been a freelancer since 1987 and in this 2002 article she lists income of 35K from niche writing income.

Remember, marketing is a herculean task. It is behind-the-scenes, “unpaid” work that takes a while to garner a payoff. Many freelancers don’t stick with it long enough to get this payoff. Make sure you do!

Monday’s Post: I’m really excited about this topic, which is Publishing E-books for A Living: How to Ensure an Income for Life. Some great inside info will be provided. Stay tuned!

5 Things You Must Look for in a Freelance Writing Mentor (Part II of III)

This is a continuation of yesterday's post, 5 Things You Must Look for in a Freelance Writing Mentor. In this post, we discussed two things you should look for, ie, tech-savviness and variety of projects.

Following are two more. The fifth thing will be discussed in the final post tomorrow. Without further ado:

***************************************
3. Specifics, Specifics, Specifics: As in, a specific answer to a specific question. Why?

The web is rife with general information, but if you've taken the time to ferret out a mentor, 9 times out of 10, you're serious about your career and want specific, tangible information you can act on.

So, find a mentor who will honor this. Now, that means some work on your part. What do I mean?

Many ask questions that can easily be researched on the net. Don't waste your mentor's time asking broad questions and/or questions that you can easily find the answer to yourself.

Remember, successful freelance writers tend to be fairly busy. In fact, anyone in a position to mention has achieved some level of success, which means they are probably pretty busy.

For an example of some great questions you might ask your mentor, read the article, FAQs: Starting A Freelance Editorial/Creative Business.

4. Give it to you straight: This piggybacks on the above-mentioned point, but I wanted to separate it out so that it's meaning is not lost.

You want a mentor who will give it to you straight. As in, "No, that's not going to work because blah, blah and blah." Or, one who will say, "I have no experience with that, but I'll find out. In the meantime, why don't you try X."

You don't want someone who feels like they have to know everything to be effective. If they don't know, you want them to own up to it. The writer was very specific in her questions, which allowed me to be very detailed in my answers.

Many mentors feel like they have to know everything - and, the truth is, freelance writing is such a vast field that it's impossible for him/her to do this.

Just as important as knowing the answer offhand, is being willing to find out the answer. And, this is what you're looking for - someone who will attempt to find out.

Successful freelancers usually have a vast network they can call upon - this is, in part, what makes them great mentor material.

Remember, mentoring is a two-way street.

You are not the wide-eyed student just waiting for your mentor to drop pearls of wisdom in your lap. To make sure that the mentoring relationship is beneficial, you must have a game plan of your own to steer it that way.

Like an interviewer in a presidential election, this means being prepared with the right questions.

In the last post tomorrow, I will reveal the number one thing you should look for in a freelance writing mentor - and why.

Tomorrow: Part III of this post will reveal the number one thing you want to look for in a mentor - and why.
