I discovered that they all require either clips, samples or a note from God. So I turned to the $2 dollar gigs for something much more valuable, experience. In a weeks time, I have accumulated a folder full of clips and samples submissions. I saved all my critiques and feedback like study notes for a test. Now, I'm ready to take on the bigger fish. I have also worked my way up the payscale. High Pay vs. Experience

Any job? I'll even take the penny a word gig at this point. My goal is to build a portfolio so that I can eventually command a higher rate. Where can I find a writing job? Any job?

Internet searching seems to bring to the front a lot of spam-ads; those that want you to pay to get paid. Where are the best places to search for those freelance/project based paid gigs?

I decided to try my hand at writing as well. God knows I wrote, and read, enough when I went for Political Science major. How I ever had the energy, or desire to do that I don't know, but....this gig has definitely been interesting. I have done some of the low ball gigs, not really knowing really where to start. I thought that if I did some of these. Get the ball rolling, that I could work up from there. Through looking at all the posts, for those of you who have obviously done this for a while, where are good places to look online (presuming you don't mind me asking)? I found Helium, which I thought looked interesting. You have the marketplace, where you can submit an article, and the bidder takes the best one...but of course this means you may not be paid for your efforts! They also have a section where you can just write and post your articles. You maintain your copyright over the articles, editors look at them, and if interested they get in contact with you...this seems tedious too, but at least it gets your work out their for everyone to see. Suggestion for the Newbie? Yours Truly, Shani Hi Everyone,

The best way is to line up private regulars because at least the pay goes up more than cheap web content companies.

I'm just starting out as a freelance writer and would love to know where to find those high paying jobs. I keep ending up with those 500 word keyword articles that pay $3.00. Yep call me a sucker. Its written on my forehead in bright red letters! Any advice, directions, etc. would be a great help. Awesome post.
