Any advice about on-line freelance writing?

Question

What sites are legit, profitable,hassle-free, and offer good support? example: elance.com

Do these sites usually require you to pay them money to join?

Any advice about free-lance writing?

Answer 1

There are many legitimate sites out there, and they all offer a basic free membership. The drawback is that basic members are often not eligible for the features, support and opportunities that make these resources worth your time.

My advice would be to try a free membership at the sites I'm listing below and compare them over the next three months. Then choose one or two you are having the most success with and upgrade to a paid membership.

www.elance.com

www.oDesk.com

www.freelancewriting.com

www.freelance-writers.net

www.freelancewritinggigs.com

Also, think about investing in a couple of Writer's Market books. These books taught me everything I needed to know (publishing contacts, submission guidelines, etc.) to get work from major publications and publishing houses.

It is a site that offers you to write anything on your favourite topic and publish for the world top see.  Joining is completely Free. Not only that, It also allows you to  earn Money through - Google Adsense, e-bay and Amazon.  I am making $50-60 Per Day. This is truly Great and Addictive. I Love this Site.
