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.

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.

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.

They have now decided to embrace change and revamp the website and are opening the doors for bloggers and freelance writers to realize the full lifetime value of their own content. On Contractcars.com, you own your content (you’re free to publish and unpublish, as you please), in contrast to most other popular revenue-generating publishing platforms. This will be achieved by keeping the posts branded by the author and the author we don’t take the recognition away and yet pay them for their effort and contribution.
There are more than 152 million blogs published on the internet, in a year, most of which goes unnoticed. Contractcars.com have enjoyed the top position as the search results on top search engines like Google, Bing and Yahoo attracting the crowd that loves and appreciates the beauty (and at times ‘beast’) on wheels; commonly knows as ‘cars’. The high standards we maintain (we rigorously weed out spam and inappropriate content) means your writing will be in good company.
Earnings: Authors earn cold hard cash directly, even before their blogs are published. You will go through a test so that we are sure that you meet the standards of our other bloggers. Once selected, all you have to do is to email your work and we transfer the cash to your account. Simple?
Your remuneration will increase if your blogs are constantly loved and attracts more page visits. After-all, why should someone surrender the lifetime value of their content at the outset?
So send us a sample work to us with your name and contact details and start earning.

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?

This is a well written article. I am just starting my freelance writing career and I have no idea where I should start. I am looking forward to writing and getting paid to do just that – write. I have always loved to write and that is one of the things that I do best. If someone can please advise me on where to go from here. Many thanks.
