I can’t believe it is Monday already. Hope everyone had a great weekend and is ready for another week of great European freelance writing jobs leads. As a freelance writer living in Europe one thing that I am consciously aware of is the dollar exchange rate. Most online freelancer writers get paid in US dollars, and if you are living in Europe this means less money for all your hard work. At today’s exchange rates you have to earn $146 to get €100 or $167 to earn £100. The rates don’t look like improving either. I remember a stage last year when $130 would get me €100 and now for the same amount I have to do additional work. This is why these European freelance writing jobs are great. Most of them are in pounds sterling or euros which means you won’t have to worry about currency exchange rates.

It was such a shame that there were no European freelance writing jobs to post yesterday. The good news is that they are back today, and there are some gems listed especially for freelance writers who are fluent in more than one language.
Here’s today’s jobs:
STAGE JOURNALISTE WEB H/F (LYON-FR)
There are 11 more freelance writing jobs posted in the Paris section of Craigslist but they are all written in French so I haven’t listed them. These jobs are probably perfect for any freelance writer that is also fluent in French. If you are fluent in French you might want to check these out. They are listed under writing/editing in the jobs section.

Today has been another successful day for finding some great European Freelance Writing jobs for my readers. I have a number of them for you to choose from today and only one or two of these are from Craigslist. Good luck to everyone who applies for these jobs and remember, when applying for any freelance writing jobs be sure that you word your e-mail as you would if you were applying on paper. I have seen a number of forum posts on this topic and many people assume that just because they are applying by email they don’t have to be formal.
When applying for a freelance writing job via email do yourself a favor and don’t write something like: [click to continue…]

Due to popular demand, I am delighted to bring back the European Freelance Writing Jobs. I have spent the past hour or two looking for some great jobs to post here and I am thrilled to have found a good number of jobs which will hopefully continue as the week goes on. I will be looking for new websites that list European freelance writing jobs too so if you know of any please mention them in the comments section.
It can be very difficult to find European freelance writing jobs and one of the main websites that lists them is EUFreelancer. Don’t be fooled though, they may list the jobs in Euros but this is just an extension of the website GetAFreelancer and even though the jobs may be listed in Euro you won’t get any high paying jobs here. I am telling you this because many new freelancers who use these websites think that these are the rates that they should be charging and this is wrong. You need to charge what your writing skills are worth. If you are charging $5 for a 500 word article then you are clearly stating that this is what you value your work at. Give yourself and your writing talents some credit and bid accordingly especially if you are going to use bidding websites. Better still do some research and look for the high paying jobs. They are out there is you really want to find them.

As a freelancer writer you work to your own schedule and I was fortunate enough to be able to take most of the summer off this year. My reason for this was of course to spend the time with my children and I have to admit that it was great. Many freelance writers quit their day jobs in order to be stay at home parents and this is great but sometimes what happens is that our freelance work can take over and we forget why we wanted to stay at home in the first place. This summer has been a real eye opener for me and it made realise that I had lost sight of my initial goals.
For the past week I have been re-evaluating my blog and website and their reason for existance. When I created the Ghostwriting Uncovered website back in 2007 it was to help others. I wanted this website to be a source of information for people wishing to take up freelance writing as a career. The Hidden Writer is an extension of this website and looking through the last year of posts I realised that I had lost sight of what was originally planned for this blog too. I seem to have been following the crowd which is something that I am rather disappointed in.
