I like everything While I’m not a blogger, I still like reading the tips for blogging, because it expands my view on the freelancing world. Reader mail is always a good read and I’ve learned a lot from your cover letter clinic.

Keep up the great work!

I can’t believe the reader mail was voted as the thing that visitors liked least. Please don’t get rid of it! It’s my favorite part, except for the jobs of course.

I’m not voting, because I like everything about the site, especially lately, thanks to the broader scope of articles and advice. You’re doing a great job!

Hi Deb. I added my vote saying my favorite is the job listings, but I wanted to be able to cast a vote for several of them. I come first for the job listings, but I also enjoy the writing and blogging tips and ideas for finding work. I even liked the cover letter clinic–I think it really helped me make my cover letter better. And the reader mail is helpful too. Many times, the reader’s question is something I’ve wondered or needed help with also.
Thanks for a great site all around!

I love the writing jobs listing… I’ve picked up a number of jobs thanks to your hard work in finding ads to post. The thing I like least wasn’t one of the options, though, so I didn’t vote on it. Pretty much the only thing that I don’t like about Freelance Writing Jobs is the fact that I’ve seen a few occasions (including in one of the Reader Mail responses) where it’s been at least hinted at that in order to be a successful freelance writer you have to be able to blog. I’ve done some blogging, but I generally don’t find it enjoyable and I worked as a freelance writer for 3 years before I even took up my first blogging job. I understand that part of the focus of this site now is on blogging, but I think that the importance of blogging as a writing medium has been skewed a bit from time to time.

I really liked the cover letter clinics, it’s great to see what kind of info others are providing and look at my own pitches with new eyes.

Deb – I’m in a sweet, salaried tech writing gig, but I just turned 40 and had the “is this what I’ll be doing when I’m 50″ freakout moment. That’s when I found and subscribed to your site. Your variety of articles combined with the postings is helping me develop a more solid idea of what a freelance life might be like. That’s something I can’t get on plain job-listing sites. Thanks for the work you put in here!

I’m glad I’m not alone in not being such a big fan of the traffic building stuff…the rest is so great, but for some reason that doesn’t jibe with me. To each their own, right?

However, no writing blog should have the same typo twice in one post!

Like everyone else seemed to say, it was difficult to choose one thing about the blog I like best. I think it’s all really valuable info, and the fact that it’s a fantastic resource for job leads PLUS chock full of advice from experienced freelancers is what makes it a must-bookmark blog. Thanks!
