In the Content Creation section: http://forums.digitalpoint.com/forumdisplay.php?f=102 Or if you want real money, set up your own website advertising your services.
You bid at hireafreelancer.com or some site like that forget name at the moment People place jobs and u can bid for getting that job
Do a search in the Copywriting forum for more information on this. There are several threads that discuss setting up a website, figuring out how much to charge, and marketing your services to clients. Good luck.
frankly their is nothing in DP when it comes to quality writing.. no real good writer and no real good jobs
Actually there are. You just aren't looking for the right people. If you pay 1 cent per word do you expect to receive..
I have been a blogger for 2 years and I don't pay...I look for work and when I tell people that I will charge $0.02 per word then they run away they are satisfied with writers who write content for 1 cent per word...even though that content is fit for MFA sites only!!
I've actually made some pretty decent money right here on DP (consistently almost $500-800 a month on articles alone). But thats because I was able to deliver top notch content and do it quickly. Its all about quality and speed.
A website advertising your services would be a good start. What other types of writing do you do? Using your forum signature to point to that website would help also. Most importantly, do you have some samples of your writing for people to look at? Those are 3 ways to make yourself stand out. I hope that helps.
I disagree completely with this statement, nofullstop There are quite a number of quality writers but you will rarely see them at the Content Creation board. There are good jobs available on that board but rather few so you have to keep trying to find a decent offer there. As to the price of your work, perhaps you are targeting the wrong market? I have received two jobs here this week alone where I am being paid that or higher. The .02/word job is below my normal rate but it is a long term project that will end up being several hundred dollars or more. The other job is at a higher rate. If you want to learn more about how to command higher rates and find buyers that are willing to pay higher for quality writing, spend some time reading the posts in the Copywriting forum. Visit some of the websites/blogs of the better writers you find there, particularly JHMattern (Jen). Above all, if writing is your passion then keep writing and don't give up. The market is out there. Good luck, Tina G
well, I have been blogging for last 2 years even though my full time university schedule used to screw me up. This was just because I LOVE to write I have started to freelance some days back itself and lets see how this goes. Will love to get some help from you people. I want to earn $500 monthly any how ?!?!
I actually used to write for $0.002 per word. I had a website up and everything. My goal was to get $200 in a month to be able to start up my blog. It was rather easy to achieve. What I did was hire some quality writers to write for less then the amount the customers paid me. Then after about two weeks I sold the website on Sitepoint, and surprisingly I got the BIN bid in less then 10 minutes. Now I just got to get around to starting that blog..
you mean you hired quality writers and payed them less then $0.002 ?? by the way what was the BIN? How many articles you had in it and what was its traffic?
Yeh, it can be done, but I requires work. What I had them do is make them write me something before I hire them. That way I got a free article done for my customers and a new writer. It was a fairly new website, mostly just promoted on DP. The bin was $80, if you want you can still check out the website. The new owner hasn't changed much. www.swiftwriters.com
Not sure, this was my first time selling something on Sitepoint. If you want you can look at other blog auctions, and see their outcomes.
If you are an good experienced writer I would suggest looking beyond just what is available on these forums, it tends to be fairly low paying. Try contacting individual sites or looking for people in need of writing in your local community.
