We all have our favorite job boards to troll, and I’m guessing that more than a few of you are well acquainted with bidding sites like Elance. Sometimes, though, these sites don’t give you crap. I remember going through a two-month period back when I was about 5 months into freelancing full time when I couldn’t find much of anything as far as freelancing work. I actually resorted to some really crummy low-paying jobs and had a yard sale just to pay bills. Yuck.
Since then, I’m happy to say that I have enough long-term clients to keep me busy (sometimes …read more

I’ve been congratulated by a number of people on landing this gig – writing for the freelance category here at Bizzia. And it is a great gig – but landing it wasn’t a fluke or lucky or even about being the best person for the job. I’m not saying that you can’t get great freelance jobs those ways, but if you’re a writer, the best way to get hired for awesome long-term contract positions is to do an awesome job at the writing gigs you have today.
Let me tell you the story of how I got this position. Don’t worry …read more

Without a doubt, the biggest interest freelance writers have is how to get a gig. Experienced writers are almost always looking for the next writing job while, obviously perhaps, new writers are longing for their first. Writing experience does matter; I’d be fooling you if I said anything else. It’s way easier for me to get a gig than the first time I went for one.

There are 56 new writing and editing jobs today.
Seems like almost every job search I do surfaces writing jobs that “must be done tonight” or some other extremely short time period. I don’t post those. I’m a fast writer, but “tonight” or “by Friday” indicates poor planning to me and they are not the kinds of jobs I want to get involved with. It takes some time to choose a writer, make sure the writer understands the assignment; besides, the writer needs some time to do a good job.

Wow – I found only 36 new freelance writing jobs today – a real dip from Monday.
But the other thing I noticed is that several are actually repostings from earlier – which, I think, means at least some employers are having trouble finding the right writer.

I just posted 47 New Writing and Editing Jobs.
That brings our total number of writing, editing and translation jobs to 146 for the week. I wish I knew if that represents 5% or 10% or 25% of the total number of freelance writing jobs available jobs around the world… I’m sure it’s a fairly small percentage, but I truly have no clue or any way to figure it out.
But there is work out there for freelance writers – lots of it.
