My Top 10 Online Freelance Writing Job Sources

I've been working as a full-time freelance writer for over two years now, and the first half year was pretty rocky financially because I didn't know where to even begin looking for freelance writing jobs. While other freelancers suggested that I pay a freelance website to find jobs for me, I knew there had to be freelance writing jobs posted online somewhere, I just had to find them. One of the first that I found was Associated Content, which is still one of my favorite places to write for. The freedom of being able to write what I want, when I want, and get paid for it is very nice indeed. However, as much as I love AC, what I make writing for them is not enough to cover all my expenses so I've had to expand my horizons so to speak.

Recently a fellow writer here on AC asked me where she could find other freelance writing jobs listed online. And a light went off in my head, I thought, "Hmmm...I'll bet there are other writers here who would be interested in knowing where the choice freelance writing job listings are." Hence the birth of this article.

Here are the top ten places I look when I'm looking for extra freelance writing work. Now keep in mind there is going to be competition for these slots, but the more often you apply the more likely you will be to get some extra assignments. Whatever you do continue to write for AC because this can then become your freelance writer's portfolio. I've actually received freelance assignments because of the fact that I write for AC.
