Freelance Writing Jobs: Your Ultimate “Get the Gigs” Guide

Freelance Writing Jobs: Your Ultimate “Get the Gigs” Guide

Wondering where all the GOOD freelance writing jobs hide out?

You’re not the only one.

Lots of freelance writers, especially beginners, go to Google and type in freelance writing jobs when they want to find work. 

I’m guessing you’ve tried that yourself at least once.

So you already know there’s a ton of websites that put up freelance writing job ads, or run bidding wars in which writers compete to win gigs. But there’s too much to look at — you could spend hours scanning these opportunities and still be no closer to getting hired. 

And when you check out blogs and podcasts for help, you quickly realise that they all recycle the same few tips… some of which are likely to work for the majority of people who use them properly, and some of which are MAJOR long shots that rarely work for anybody.

Problem is, you can’t tell which is which.

What you need is a way to narrow down your freelance writing job search and *only* do the things that are worth your time.

This guide shows you where to find good freelance writing jobs, how to get hired, and how to make yourself even more hireable (so you can win more work with more fantastic clients for more money).

You’ll probably find tips in here that are familiar to you, but you’ll also find ideas beyond the usual boilerplate advice — and sane expectations to balance the overoptimistic bullshit you might read elsewhere.

62 Political Blogs Hiring Writers: Get Paid to Write about Politics and Social Justice

62 Political Blogs Hiring Writers: Get Paid to Write about Politics and Social Justice

Think nobody’s looking for freelance politics writers?

Think again. Black Lives Matter, vaccine mandates, climate change, and fair wages are still making headlines. If it affects their readers, blogs and magazines want to publish it.

Social justice, politics, and the people fighting for or facing hardship because of public policies aren’t going away. If you love writing about these emotion-triggering topics, get ready to start pitching.

You may run out of time or energy…but you won’t run out of publications to pitch.

Get Paid $50 to $2000 to Write for Style & Design Blogs and Magazines

Get Paid $50 to $2000 to Write for Style & Design Blogs and Magazines

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?

88 Science and Tech Blogs & Publications That Hire Freelance Writers

88 Science and Tech Blogs & Publications That Hire Freelance Writers

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).

Food Writer Jobs Hard to Find? 123 Food & Drink Sites That Pay Freelance Bloggers

Food Writer Jobs Hard to Find? 123 Food & Drink Sites That Pay Freelance Bloggers

Are you surprised we found 120 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!
