Finding Clients for Your Freelance Writing

Finding clients for your freelance writing may be easier than you think! There are many job posting boards on the Internet where you can search for freelance writing jobs. Many of these sites require that you bid on jobs and some clients want to interview you before they hire you.

Some job posting sites are listed in my sidebar. Getafreelancer.com is a decent site for beginning freelancers if you can show some examples of your work. Articles you write for Associated Content, Helium articles, and your blog can serve as samples of your writing. You can sometimes send samples of your writing to the potential client.

When you use job posting sites to find freelance writing work, don't sell yourself short. Don't accept jobs that pay less than you'd make publishing your content elsewhere. You can usually make at least $3 off an article on Associated Content and also earn performance pay. So, why would you produce an article for someone for only $1? If you don't think the money is worth the work, don't accept the job.

You'll also want to keep in mind that these sites usually charge a set fee or a percentage of what you earn. Be sure to bid an ammount that takes this into consideration.
