The link for the last listing is not working.
Thanks, Jodee, there are several good ones in there for me!
@ Sara: Sorry about that…it’s working now.
@ Genesis: You are most welcome.
The “”creative writer” posting has been deleted.
Thanks Jodee.
I have a question – is anyone a member of ASJA or the CNW? Or any other professional writer’s networking organization? Have they been useful in leading you to clients?
Good morning, Jodee, and thank you for the extensive lists this week. I wanted to let you know that I tried that last link and it isn’t working for me.
I am new to frelancing and am finding a lot of $1 and $2 400 word plus jobs. Do people really expect to get good writing for a dollar? My questionis this: how can I increase my eanrings and chances of getting new jobs? I have quite a few clips but most are from the same project. Should I write some random articles and use them as part of my portfolio? Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Thanx, Daniel
@ Paula: I’ve checked that one again and it should be OK now. I apologize for the inconvenience.
I applied to the Creative Writer(Atlanta Design Firm) posting yesterday through craigslist, and I received an email today with a list of their ‘real’ projects asking for sample ideas on one or all of them. The ad looked legitimate, provided details, compensation etc…but now I’m not so sure. Any thoughts? Did anyone else try?
Do you think that the company behind the Fortune 500 ad has a client?
@ Rupa is it just sample ideas, or do they want you to write an actual sample on their topics? I always look at the work/compensation v. the time needed to draft a sample. If it’s too involved for too little pay it’s not worth putting much work into, imo. If it’s just pitching a couple of ideas, sounds like it doesn’t involve too much time or effort. If it were me, and I wanted the job, I’d do it.
