Having decided that I was spending too much time on Guru and Elance for too little return, I started looking around for other sources of job leads. And I didn’t have to look too far to find one.
Deborah Ng’s Freelance Writing Jobs blog lists jobs from a number of jobs sites, including Craigslist. What’s good about this list is that Deborah tries to weed out the scams before she publishes, so for the most part, these are genuine writing opportunities. The list is updated four or five times a week, Monday to Friday. Where it’s available, each job has a location and rate of pay next to it. There are also markets looking for freelance writers. Deborah sometimes includes other jobs related to writing, such as design and web design jobs.
There are other sites that include lists from jobs boards, but in my opinion this site does the best job of weeding out the cr*p, which is good news for freelance writers. I’ve already had a couple of jobs through the site. Hope it works for you too.
