Hey guys, I've fallen into a few extra minutes here and there that I am wanting to dedicate to some freelance article writing. No, this is not a pitch, I am needing some information. No doubt some of you have at least attempted at finding freelance article writers in the past - what I was wondering was the best freelancer sites out there that I could potentially bid on projects. I know there's Elance.com, but what else is there? Anything else? I'm not looking to get rich, just looking for some productive time that I can make a couple bucks here and there. Thanks!
I use sciptlance a bit for hireing programmers and doing freelance SEO. Haven't had any bad experiences. There's quite a few freelance sites out there, though at the moment I can only think of Getafreelancer. If I were you I would create a small site about yourself showcasing some of your previous work along with some testimonials. This will gain you credibliity which is really what a webmaster is looking for when they hire freelancers. Then I would sign up to all the top freelance sites and subscribe to new article jobs via email. If you have a credible site set up and your a pretty good writer you will be able to get above averae rates, especially if you use all the sites, as you'll be able to pick and choose the best jobs. Article writers on average get paid pretty low rates, but it would be fairly easy to establish yourself above the pack and make a descent amount. You can also post in the Buy/Sell/Trade section of DP, and other webmaster forums.
As a freelancer, i use scriptlance, and Getafreelancer. this is good to use these website bro. But before moving to exchnage the final product, have a proper contract ready with your client. Becasue if a buyer dosent pay These website will not do anything "Just bannning your buyer's id at their website". So in this case dont seek any help from them.
