Be a Freelance Blogger

Looking to cash in on your love of beautiful places?

You really can make some moolah writing about fashion, beauty, interior design, gardens, and even architecture and building design.

Seriously, maybe it’s time to become a freelance design writer.

Anyone who’s tried to redo their kitchen or create a new, original look from scratch has learned it the hard way. Not everyone has a talent for decorating spaces or people.

If you’ve got this gift, stop pretending it’s no big deal.

But wait a minute…what kinds of credentials do you need to write about style, design, or architecture? They’re not just going to pay you because you can color coordinate like the wind, are they?

Got a background in tech or science?

Not everyone has a talent for translating these more technical topics into plain English. So we recommend you take full advantage of your ability to understand dull, dry tech and science topics.

And making them fun to read is a completely different skill set the average scientific or IT-oriented professional rarely has.

So these science and tech publications are in need of writers who can intrigue their readers (instead of putting them to sleep or confusing them).

Are you surprised we found 121 websites, blogs, and online magazines that want your food and drinks articles?

Honestly, we knew this list wouldn’t be short — but we didn’t expect to find over 100 sites either. Nice!

So what will you find on this list exactly?

Websites and online magazines that specialize in food or drink topics? Yes, absolutely. And websites that say yes to articles on those topics regularly, even if food and drink are not the main theme of the site. (Everybody eats and drinks. We’re pretty sure you could pitch almost any site a food or drink topic and get a yes, if you know their audience well enough to target your pitch to their interests.)

And every one of these sites is known to pay freelance writers at least $50 per article. Most of them pay a lot more — some as much as $3,000!

Business freelance writing... Are you excited as hell or trying to sneak out of the room because it gives you hives?

Envisioning dull and dry data for big business publications that read like the phone book? Or wondering how you’re going to get hired to write for these publishing institutions that have been around for, like, 200 years?

Ok, let’s talk business. If you’re a freelance blogger then you’re already in business. Maybe not the Fortune 500, but you’ve got business experience. And writing for business blogs and publications can be good for your business in more ways than one.

For starters, you get paid. Plus, it helps you find more and better clients.

Because guess who reads these types of blogs, websites and magazines? Yep. Other businesses. Even the kinds that need freelance writers who normally don’t write about business.

Have you got a talent for finance and writing?

Even better if you already have experience in a money-related career. There are tons of opportunities open right now for you to write (and get paid) at personal finance and money blogs and websites.

It’s no secret that personal finance sites can make good money with affiliate commissions or selling their own software and technology.

And lifestyle blogs and magazines are always on the lookout for solid personal finance advice for their readers (and they need freelance writers who know how to write money articles people want to read).

These sites have no problem paying for high quality personal finance articles to attract readers looking for advice. As you scroll down this page, you’ll see sites that pay anything from $50 to $1,200 per post.
