As many of you know I took a break from my writing over the past year to raise my youngest child. He has now turned 2 and I am happy to say that I can now begin writing again.
This week I began my search for work and I am happy to say that Elance even though they have made some huge changes are still coming out on top. I placed a bid for two jobs and have already been approved one and at the rates I choose.
I also looked through some of the postings on Get A Freelancer but I have to say I hate this website. The bids are just ridulous and so are the offers. There are projects posted where the clients are looking for people to write 500 word articles for $1 each. What is it coming to when you are asked to work for nothing. I have decided to avoid this website in future although I still receive emails daily about new projects. The amount of projects that are being posted on this website is amazing and there is so much work, it’s just a pity that the bids are so low. If writers refused to accept anything less than $2 per 100 words it would make things so much easier and the quality of jobs would be so much better too.
I am on the lookout for a couple of other websites to check out too so if anyone has some good tips please do share them.
For now though, I am voting Elance as my number 1.
What freelance writing jobs website is your number 1?
Until next time,
Amanda
