It was/is the plain truth. Still, thank you both for the appreciation.

And yes, it was very kind of Ayda to say that.

I also think is was very nice of Ayda to come here and let everyone know how helpful your (Jodee) including the Turkish jobs are helpful.

Rock on JODEE! (of course Deb too..hehe)

Don’t listen to the complainers. You guys do a fantastic job, and you don’t owe anybody anything. We’re super lucky to have you here.

@ Vivian: I will keep on posting the Canadian stuff when I find it, and not just because I happen to be a proud Canuck myself! If the lead pays above the minimum standard that FWJ has, I’ll post it.

Please keep publishing Canadian gigs. I’m a Toronto-based freelancer, and I’ve secured a very important Canadian contact as a result of your job list. I’ve sent your weblink to a good number of my Canadian friends (some of whom work in various countries around the world), by the way. Thanks for all your hard work!

You guys make this all worthwhile and no matter what I do, not everyone is going to be a fan. More than likely, there will always be more ads from the US than anywhere else, simply because that is a bigger market, but that doesn’t mean that the readers who happen to live somewhere else are any less important to us.

I really like going on my Internet treasure hunt for leads on weekdays to see what I can find and sharing it with all of you. If nothing else, it shows that there *are* opportunities out there for writers.

The occasional nastygram isn’t going to frighten me away or make me change the way I do things.

It is possible this is a response to a job from earlier in the week, but it came in so soon after applying to that one I mentionecd, it seemed odd. The email comes from a Hotmail address- Kielan.Yarrow@hotmail.com

Thank you so much for posting so many wonderful leads. I love that you post leads in many different genres and for people in many places. Even though that means that some days there are no leads that fit my experience and wants, it also means on other days there is a high percentage of matches on the list.

It also means that others like me who are looking for work have just as great a chance of finding it here as I do. I would never begrudge another an opportunity to find work.

Thank you so much for putting in so much time and effort into providing leads for your ever-growing base of readers – who represent a wide variety of skills, experience, writing niches, and locations.

You and Deb are amazing and I just appreciate you both more than words can say. Without you, your hard work, and this site, this disabled single mom (ME) would not be able to pay the bills each month. This site is the largest source of my work leads, and the top source of the work I have obtained, to date.

With all of my heart, THANK YOU!

Deb and Jodee are providing this service for free. There are many other sites that charge for what these ladies do freely. It’s enough to make you not want to do it or to moderate the comments.

“Nor is it that earth-shattering a problem to make this much of a fuss over.”

This site is a jumping off place to develop job leads, generate job ideas, get job epiphanies. To expect anything more is akin to demanding to be hand fed.

I had a neat job offer from a lead on this site, but sadly the pay was way too low. But I made lemonade: I realized that if that particular company head wanted a blog — then his competitors would too! I got busy and started talking to his competitors and from that action everything blossomed.

Jodee’s gig pick from Colorado was just the inspiration I needed to get a load of new job ideas.

And not just lemonade either, but I made a friend too! One of the gal’s on here is an experienced, well paid blogger and she and I struck up an email conversation where she taught me so much about the world of blogging. (Hi Amy!)

Thank you Jodee for starting the ball rolling!!

I just wanted to throw in that I’m a Canadian full-time freelance writer who really appreciates that you include Canadian gigs in your lists.

Plese don’t stop!

Thank you for all your hard work. It’s appreciated up here north of the border as well.
