Tip for finding freelance writing jobs using Google and Craigslist
As a freelance writer, your income is derived from your ability to find paying work. You can absolutely use the resources available on our job postings page, but that really doesn’t cover a lot of ground.
Something I’ve found that works out well when searching for writing gigs is to use Google & Craigslist, and this method seems to show some relevant results. While you will have to filter out some of the older postings as well as the postings that are location specific; it is more than possible that you find your ‘writing goldmine’ by using this method.
Trying to be helpful. . . but they won’t have it
I very recently posted a listing in my local craigslist giving a link to a location where there are free job postings for writers. This was a completely free resource – and it would not only be beneficial to the freelance writer looking for solid writing work, it would also benefit the stay at home mom or dad, grandma or grandpa and give them a place to make a few extra bucks for sharing their writing talent.
