It is a new, easy and
fun way for you to make money. It only takes a few steps to sign up for a
website like freelancer.com, elance.com, odesk.com, dmoz.com or donnaza.com and
create a writer profile. Just setup profile, make portfolio, set up payment
methods, and starts bidding. Within few weeks of setting up your genuine
profile you will be getting response from employers.
The major drawback is
the uncertainty of work and thus income, and lack of company benefits such as a
pension, health insurance, paid holidays and bonuses. Many freelancers,
especially in journalism, regard themselves as having greater income security
through the diversity of outlets everybody can join. There are no limitations.
The principle of Teams is very simple: the better your quality and efficiency,
the more tasks become available for you.
Every freelance
writing job needs its own cover letter, targeted clips and maybe even an
individually arranged (for example, for an editing job, put your editorial work
at the top, for a fiction job, put your published stories at the top, and for a
corporate job, put your past corporate experiences at the top.
Even before clicking
on all these juicy job leads, is to prepare for the competition. Take a look at
these ways to beef up your writers resume, clips and website, and ways to get
these things if you don't already have them. Next, go to work on all those job listings.
In addition, check out other ways to get started and break into the writing
field by networking, volunteering, using contractor sites, and meeting needs in
your local market.
