The Best Freelance Job Boards for Writers..

<h1>The Best Freelance Job Boards for Writers..</h1>Author: <a title="ddwd" href="http://www.articlesbase.com/authors/ddwd/228888.htm">ddwd</a> I have recently surveyed over 300 freelance web sites and these are the best boards for freelance writers. The benchmark that I used for judging the board was the number of legitimate projects (as opposed to “business opportunities”) and requests for submission being posted every month. I have only included ones posting 30 projects or more a month The very best I picked Guru This huge all-inclusive board connects independent professionals (a.k.a. "gurus") with contract projects. If you are new to independent consulting, check out the Run Your Biz section, which includes a “Getting Started” column, where you can leave a question to be answered by experts. Lots of other useful information (e.g. tax and finance, legal, etc.) for contractors. Find a contracting job ("gig") searching by field (creative/media, finance and legal, etc.), keyword, and geography.. Recently, it acquired IT Moonlighter, another with lots of freelance jobs. Whatever, Guru is probably the largest freelance marketplace on the Web. Over 3,300 projects posted last month.

You can do a search and find a great number of projects. There is a monthly fee in order to search for projects, but it might be worth checking out. I personally found that I was not finding enough leads for the type of writing I do to be worth the fee. Number of writing projects posted every month: 50-74 Type of projects: Openings tends more to web content, copywriting, and sales and marketing Enlace.

There is a lot of competition out there, so do not waste your time with projects that you are not qualified for or do not interest you.

In addition, remember that, in order to be a successful freelance writer, you should not be using the boards as your only way of finding projects. You should also be out there networking with other writer, setting up your own website, and researching writing opportunities in your own community.
