Online Writing Jobs: Freelance Job Boards

Listings on freelance job boards are often temporary or project-based, but you may find longer term gigs as well. A large number of jobs on these boards have switched to remote if they weren't already. Use filters to narrow your search results.

Freelance job boards are a known target for scammers. Do your homework and stay safe. Don't click suspicious links or give out your personal info.

Online Writing Jobs: Remote Job Boards

These websites focus entirely on remote work, and they're being updated frequently with work-from-anywhere positions. This list is getting bigger each year, which is very encouraging for the remote freelance community.

Online Writing Jobs: Freelance Job Market Sites

Whether you love 'em or you hate 'em, these websites are some of the hottest spots to find freelance work. And they show no sign of slowing down. The clients on market sites can get buried in proposals. Always keep communication personalized and focused on their business when you're reaching out about a project.

WebsiteDescriptionLink
CloudPeepsCreate and fully fill out a profile in order to view job listings. Clients vet submitted proposals to choose a freelancer to complete the task.CloudPeeps
FiverrOnce an absolute race-to-the-bottom, Fiverr is showing a bit more promise with the ability to create higher value packages to offer your services. fiverr.com
FreelancerCreate a profile to browse and bid on freelance jobs. This site charges up-front fees. Get perks and reduced/postponed fees by becoming a "Preferred Freelancer".freelancer.com
GoLanceCreate a profile to apply for jobs from a pool of opportunities matched to your skills. Receive weekly payment for hourly gigs or per-milestone payments (similar to Upwork).golance.com
UpworkCreate a specialized profile to show off your skills, build relationships with clients (short and long-term). This site takes a cut of your earnings. Get perks/reduced fees by becoming a "Top Rated Freelancer". upwork.com
WriteologySign up, fill out a profile and bid for projects. When awarded a project, complete it to earn your "salary".writeology.com

Online Writing Jobs: Freelance Writing Agency-Style Sites

Most of these sites act as “agencies”, approving your profile, then sourcing work for you while taking a cut. Some of them are content mills (let's call a spade a spade). I'm adding them here with the following warning: Writers have mixed reviews on these sites. You may not have as much control over the kind of work you get (or how often) and it will not be the same experience as freelancing independently. Do your homework.

WebsiteDescriptionLink
EBylineA journalism-focused site that connects writers with brands who need content.ebyline.com
ClearVoiceAn agency-style site that allows freelancers to build a personal brand, develop their resume, set their own rates and more.clearvoice.com
ContenaPerhaps one of the more controversial sites, you pay a membership fee to browse curated job listings vetted by "scouts". I found this review worrying but, as always, I'll let you do the research and decide.contenta.co
ContentlyA content marketing agency that leverages freelance talent to power brands' content campaigns.contently.com
CopyPressAn full-service marketing and content agency with integrated software and project management system (for clients). It's not made clear how writers apply to be screened. copypress.com
Crowd ContentA content agency website that vets writers to on as staff.crowdcontent.com
Freelance My WayCreate a free profile. Search and apply for jobs without restriction. No monthly fees or bid restrictions.freelancemyway.com
Jam Jar WritingRegister as a freelance writer for free and decide where, when, how often, and for how much you deliver work.jamjarwriting.com
nDashAn agency-style site that promises "higher rates, legitimate brands, and six-figure earning potential."ndash.com
Online Writing JobsApply to be a writer and "make up to $50 writing about topics that interest you". (Note from MC: Beware, this is a very low rate for content writing.)Online Writing Jobs
PayDeskCreate a freelance journalist profile and market yourself to broadcasters and companies around the world. Take on a range of projects and build your portfolio.paydesk.co
People Per HourApply to be a freelancer and create "specialized offers" to pitch services to thousands of businesses. They encourage you to offer "your best work at your best price" and manually match you with projects. peopleperhour.com
QuillAn e-commerce business focused copy and content agency. Promises freelancers growth opportunities, flexibility and resources.quillcontent.com
SkyWordA content marketing agency that enlists "elite" freelancers (including writers) to collaborate with clients.skyword.com
TextBrokerThis site offers approved writers access to thousands of writing assignments, claiming that newbies and experiences writers alike can find ideal opportunities.textbroker.com
Writer BayApply to be a writer and find work that fits your expertise and experience level. They boast flexible working conditions and post top-earning writers' profits on the homepage.writerbay.com
Writers.WorkCreate a profile and receive curated job listings in your dashboard, based on what opportunities you're deemed a good match for.writers.work

One final tip! Just get searching. Simply Googling “Freelance Writing Jobs” turned up a massive pool of opportunities. Linkedin currently boasts 200K+ freelance writing jobs with over 6k posted in the past 24 hours (at the time of writing this blog post).

On Upwork, a search for new copywriting jobs totals 1,995, while content writing hits 14,918 and brings in 1,970 results (this number is likely to skyrocket). There are many more categories to investigate. And we know 100% of Upwork clients are not premium quality, but you can absolutely find excellent work relationships there.

The point? The work is out there. Don’t give up.

Businesses still have writing needs that are cyclical and popping up all the time. More companies than ever have shifted their operations online. There’s no shortage of work to be had if you remain optimistic and advocate for yourself out there.

*

This is a big list of sites, and I hope it has succeeded in perking you up a bit, reigniting that freelance optimism. But don’t put all of your eggs in one basket. Even if you do use the sites above, continue to market yourself independently and seek out clients on your own terms.

Here are some ways you can start marketing yourself, stat:

    Okay. I want to give you the most gigantic hug. Writing this obviously took a long time. And a total selfless act if you ask me. This is the most helpful article I think I’ve ever come across.
    From the deepest space in my heart, THANK YOU. Thank you, thank you.
    I can’t wait to dig in and try out these places for work.
    As a budding copywriter, I’ve felt so lost in the world of the internet. It can be scary. Mostly because it requires so much self discipline. Which many days – especially in the beginning – can feel empty and pointless.
    It makes me feel so much freaking better to hear the quasi million opportunities that are there for the taking.
    And I have to agree, one would think the coronavirus totally catapulted the world of freelance writing into a dimension of total promising abundance.
    So, I suppose, let’s dig in.

I completely sympathize with the feelings you describe. When you’re starting out it’s almost like too much information and not enough direction.

    Let me start by saying that you rock! Your time and effort is appreciated. I like the way you breakdown the job resources and describe each one.
    I’m trying to launch my freelance business. Though I’ve been writing my entire life and have maintained my WordPress blog as well as my Social Media accounts since 2010/2011, I’d like to earn some income from my writing.
    Thank you for your time and I hope you don’t mind me sharing this with my followers at my WordPress blog.

A few questions to ask yourself as we transition into a new month:

☕️ How are you feeling about your goals so far this year? If you're feeling behind or overwhelmed, remember that while we're nearing the end of 2022, it's not over yet!

☕️ On a scale of 1-10, how strongly do you feel that you'll hit your goals this year? What needs to happen in order for you to hit those goals?

☕️ Write down 1 thing you'll take action on for each remaining month of 2022 to finish the year strong.

☕️ Write down 1 thing you'll do each week to ensure you stay on track. This might mean: booking a weekly discovery call, writing a niche-specific blog post, reaching out to past clients, etc.

☕️ It's not all about hustling! How can you take better care of yourself through the end of 2022 so you FEEL good and can show up as your best self in your freelancing career?

Wishing you a productive, healthy November!

Are we getting desperate? ⚠️ There's a hint o Are we getting desperate? ⚠️

There's a hint of panic in the freelance community re: decreased workloads, low-paying clients, inflation... These fears are valid, but is this energy we can rise up and ✨prosper✨ in?

I won't say it's impossible to build a career out of desperation. That "oh sh*t" moment can lead to extraordinary results. But if you stay in desperate energy, you'll operate from there (which clients see as a red flag).

Like it or not, being an energy match for a client is a big deal. They want focused problem-solvers who can get results. When your stress seeps into your interactions, you could be scaring those high-quality gigs away.

It goes like this...
📌 Freelancer: *Panics about money*
📌 Client: *Senses desperation, doesn't hire them*
📌 Freelancer: *Confirms fears, continues to panic*
(The cycle perpetuates!)

A subtle mindset shift can help:

☕️ Be aware of inner dialogue and how it leads to self-sabotage. Are you sending sob stories with pitches? Alluding to needing money immediately in ANY way? Cutting corners to get paid faster?

☕️ Flip the script. Yesterday's failure doesn't mean today will be the same. Society's panic doesn't mean you need to spiral. This is a new day full of new opportunities, new clients, and new ways to collaborate. 

☕️ A recession means clients are more eager than EVER for ways to reach their own customers... and that's your specialty! This is your time.

☕️ Give yourself a break. If nothing's been going your way, remember: nothing is permanent. Take a day off and ease up on yourself. You can't pour from an empty glass.

Chin up, writers. You won't only "get through this", you'll thrive! ✨

Why become a freelance writer in 2022? 🤔 ☀️ Why become a freelance writer in 2022? 🤔
☀️ YOU DECIDE THE SCHEDULE. Rather avoid the "Sunday scaries" by taking Mondays off? No prob! Wanna schedule client calls on Wednesdays only? Do it. Prefer to get your work done before 11am? Why not? Craving midday naps? Go for it! 

☀️ YOU DECIDE WHO YOUR CLIENTS ARE. Learning who you work well with is a process—and it usually comes with a few blips along the way—but it's one of the most liberating aspects of freelancing. You have the power to turn down anyone who doesn't fit your ideal (or close to ideal) client avatar.

☀️ YOU DECIDE YOUR RATES. How much are your services worth? You make that decision based on your niche, value, and income goals. That means you decide how much money you're making this week/month/year. That also means you get to tweak your rates until they're working for you.

☀️ YOU DECIDE YOUR RULES. Your policies will shape the way you work. You get to create/change them as your career evolves. Examples? Don't text with clients or accept unplanned calls. Don't do endless revisions. Don't do rush jobs without a rush fee... etc. Your choice.

☀️ YOU DECIDE YOUR LOCATION. I decided to freelance because being in an office was killing my creativity, productivity and nervous system. The freedom to work from a home office or anywhere in the world means I can deliver work I'm proud of and build a career that works FOR my life, not against it.

Can you think of any other reasons being a freelance writer is awesome? Let's hear them! 👇👇

What keeps you going when freelancing gets tough? What keeps you going when freelancing gets tough? 🪫

So many of us are struggling right now because of the economy's steep fluctuation and clients cutting back on budgets (on top of summer being a dry season for many). 

But we both know you're NOT just going to throw in the towel when faced with a challenge, right? 🤔 You're a problem solver, after all. That's one of the reasons you're such an awesome freelancer. ✌️

The truth is, in any economic situation, regardless of the season or circumstances, there are ALWAYS ways to thrive. 

There are clients who need writers. There are opportunities to uncover. The sheer number of businesses and organizations who need recurring marketing copy and content on a weekly basis is wild (with new ones popping up all the time). Just one example. There's 💵 to be made! 

So while you seek those opportunities out, grow your network, and polish your optimism, here's one more thing you can do to battle the "woe is me" energy that's bringing down your vibe:

✨✨ Remember WHY you started freelancing in the first place!

Remember why it's so important to you. Remember why you're made for this. Remember previous challenges you've overcome because you weren't about to give up on your ultimate goal. 

✈️ For some that's location freedom. 
📋 For some it's schedule freedom. 
💰 For some it's uncapped income. 
💓 For some it's "I'm the boss" energy.
