I don’t do this too often, but every now and then I offer up a list of places to search for freelance writing jobs. Today, I’m expanding that to include freelance blogging jobs. I hope that now that you know where I look, you won’t abandon us here!
Behold:
21 places to find freelance writing jobs and freelance blogging jobs.
- Freelance Writing Jobs – We are the number one freelance writer community online. How cool is that?
- About Freelance Writing - Anne Wayman’s awesome resource includes leads three times a week. I’ve been talking to Anne about trading some guests posts and collaborating on some things. She’s good people and looks out for writers. Also visit her blog The Golden Pencil.
- Problogger - Darren Rowse’s blog about blogging features a job board filled with blogging gigs. I found a few great gigs here.
- Performancing – In addition to checking out our job board, check out some great articles and forum posts about blogging.
- Craigslist - Don’t laugh. Craigslist is an amazing resource. I found one of my biggest corporate clients on Craigslist. Just be sure to keep a wary eye out for scams and people who want something for nothing.
- Indeed - Try this job search engine to narrow down your search. Better yet, use the Indeed search box in the sidebar to the right.
- Freelance Writing – Though this is a haven for extremely low paying jobs, you might find a gem or two.
- Blogger Jobs - A blog listing blogging jobs and bloggers looking for jobs.
- Poe War – A daily stop for freelance writing and blogging jobs and advice.
- BlogHer -I found my gig with Oxygen Media here. Occasionally you’ll find some very cool stuff.
- Gawker – A very cool list of “New Media” opportunities. Many of these jobs pay very well.
- Media Bistro - If the big magazines and newspapers are hiring freelancers, you’ll find it here.
- WAHM - Lists several telecommuting jobs, including freelance writing and blogging jobs, a few times a week.
- Freelance Switch – Jobs for all sorts of freelancers including writers, bloggers and web stuff.
- Telecommuting-Writing Jobs – One of the regulars, Amy Derby, has created a resource for telecommuters including freelance writing jobs.
- Sunoasis Jobs -A regularly updated job lis. I haven’t had any luck here, but you might!
- Absolute Write – Occasionally lists jobs in their forum.
- Journalism Jobs – Plenty of freelance writing jobs.
- Writer Find – Sometimes has decent jobs.
- Freelance Blogging Jobs – A great list of blogging gigs.
- Freelancing for Blogs – This is a new one for me, but I’ll be checking it out more often.
I hope you’ll still come back!!

Hello Everyone,
I just found this website and I love it. Thank you all for such helpful information and especially to Jodee for all her hard work. Hats off to you all.
I would like to start writing my own blog and I was wondering where you think the best places are to post a blog. I’m new to this and would love a little guidance. Thanks so much, Rebecca

Thanks so much for the freelance writing sites. I’ve bookmarked several of them to visit.
Very good post. It was very informative and well written. You should do another one like this, there are so many other places you can find freelance writing & blogging jobs, but you put together a good list with some of the most worthwhile places to find your next gig. Thanks for sharing.
This list is a great help. I am just beginning my freelance life and need all the help I can get. Thank you.
Hi there. I admire you for doing such a great job on this blog. This list for finding freelance writing jobs is great. I just posted a blog 100s of sites to find freelance writing projects and of course I listed FreelanceWritingGigs.com
Thank you.

Thank you for posting this list. Too many times, jobs pay in “fun” or with promises of future employment.
So thanks for providing something more concrete (and profitable)! =)
I added many of the sites to my RSS feed so I can see everything at a glance.
Awesome work.
Hey,
Thanks for the great list, as a newbie to the Blogging world it’s a useful resource.
You weren’t kidding about some of the sites listing some really cheap pay, one of the sites I looked at had a company looking for a 35 to 40 hours per WEEK for $300 per MONTH! ha ha I might be unemployed and a newbie, but I’ll pass on $2/hour. haha
Have a great day!

ProBlogger is a really good place still.. Any plans on making an updated post to remove those sites that are no longer active, and replace them with all of the new sites?
