52 Free Tools and Resources to Superfuel Your Freelance Blogging

52 Free Tools and Resources to Superfuel Your Freelance Blogging

You know most people think we’re idiots, right?

I mean, why would we go through all the trouble of starting our own business when we could just get a job?

We could do as we’re told, quit working at 5pm, and watch TV for the rest of the night. Why make it hard for ourselves?

To be honest, they’re right.

It is a stupid thing to do.

Starting your own business requires a ton of hard work. It takes time and dedication to learn all the skills you need to get off the ground.

You have to know how to write. You have to know how to market. You have to know how to sell.

And we don’t have the luxury to stop thinking about our work when the clock hits 5pm. Once you choose this lifestyle, it creeps into your mind and you find yourself thinking about it all the time.

But once it starts working, man does it feel good. Seeing that hard-earned cash roll in makes it all worth it.

But again, it takes time. Lots of time.

To help you speed up the process, I’ve put together a list of tools and resources for you to use to supercharge your freelance blogging. It ranges from tools to get ideas quicker to resources that will give you a kick in the butt.

All of them are free or have a free plan.

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).

But… sometimes freebies aren’t awesome. Sometimes free stuff is just junk that sucks your time, clutters up your memory, and ends up in the recycle bin.

This list is not about that kind of free stuff.

This list is solid. I checked out every single thing myself, and if it sucked, it got cut.

So here are the survivors, the worthy, the genuinely useful… 52 totally free resources for freelance blogging success.

If they cost anything, it’s your email address or maybe a tweet – no money involved. You’re welcome. 😉

Food Writer Jobs Hard to Find? 118 Food & Drink Sites That Pay Freelance Bloggers

Food Writer Jobs Hard to Find? 118 Food & Drink Sites That Pay Freelance Bloggers

Are you surprised we found 118 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!
