Hi Deb,
The Article Writer position looks fishy. I sent in an email and got an automated reply with a link that said that I need to fill out the application form. When I clicked on it, the page led me to a Lottery winning site :s And the link seems to have an affiliate code in it.
I’m interested in knowing if someone else has filled it out and what response they got?

Deb,
Thanks for the great leads! My twitter is @nlbctim
@lyzl
Thanks for these, Deb. The Article Writer ad is a scam to register and then pay to get work.
I’m @AmandaNicole on Twitter.
Yep, I just saw that Article Writer thing too. Waste of time, and now they have my email address; wonder how much spam I’ll get.
I’m kashicat on Twitter.
Thanks for the list today Deb.
I’m on Twitter @azwritergal.
Hi, I come to your site almost everyday and I have yet to reply, so I am today. Great job on running a awesome site, always good advice and job leads. So thanks.
If any one wants to follow me, my twitter name is @mvr00.
Thanks!
Thanks for these fantastic lists! This is my first comment, but I’m here every day. Guess I like to keep a low profile!
I love using twitter to network and I love that you mentioned it.
I’m @Jennifermroach, if anyone would like to follow me!
I’m on Twitter too @alladither.
Great point about Twitter – it’s what everyone’s using these days! I can be followed at @KathrynVercillo
Hi, Deb. I’m following you on twitter now. I confess that I stop by here every day and have never left a comment, but I really enjoy this space on my daily travels.
Twitter: @AnnPietrangelo
I sent an email in reply to the autoresponder to the Article Writer list firmly requesting to be removed from any lists being compiled, rented or sold. I’m not sure that will do any good, but I also reported the post to freelancejobopenings.com as “At best, misleading.”
Thanks for the great daily collection of postings. This is my first stop for gig prospecting, and I have found some great ones through your site. You do a great job of filtering out the listings that have the Through The Looking Glass definition of “job” as “something you pay us for the privilege of you getting to do.”
Heads up!
Today’s job lead #6 (“Article Writer”) is spam.
The contact info. is one John sanderson, who sends an automated reply with a link, requesting an application. The link redirects to that stupid, godforsaken “Freelance Home Writers Wanted” with the ugly green background. You’ve undoubtedly seen it.
I’m talking about these ding-dongs:
http://www.freelancehomewriters.com/landing12/?caCode=FHW%2DROI%2DNOPOP&p=1&caid=13937&cid1=0&cid2=905&cid3=0&cid4=False&sid=&stID=69&new=1&misc3=CD8690
This “site” wants you to pay for a subscription to a monthly lead service with automatic billing to your plastic, ‘natch.
Avoid as you would a social disease.
I know of no one who ever got bupkis out of that website.
regards,
Steve

Deb,
This site is very informational for those in search of freelance work. Thank you very much.
When I clicked that Article Writer one, it shut down my browser. Anyway, thanks for the great leads. I’m on twitter at @TrinamLee.
I keep reading about how great Twitter is, but I guess I don’t use it enough to know even though I’ve been on it for months! I’m @harney89
I’m Twittering at @tinasam
I recently scaled back my freelance writing and editing to focus more on my small children. But I’m looking forward to following other writers on twitter and maybe slowly getting back into my favorite thing to do
I’m jmwhitmore on twitter.
Just started browsing your posts a few weeks ago and also very new to Twitter. Extremely! @araybourn
I’m @allisonlanda on Twitter. I haven’t quite tapped into its power, but I definitely check it every other day or so, if not more often.
Has anyone heard of SliceDice Marketing? I got a job offer from them, but I can’t seem to find anything about them on the Internet. Any information would be appreciated.
Thanks for the leads! I’m on Twitter @marjoriemcatee.
I’m @JodeeR on Twitter.
Yay for the Twitter plus!
Follow me @samcab on Twitter.
I’m adding everyone!
Hi! Thanks for the leads. Find me on twitter @egfraz
I got a job offer from SliceDice Marketing, too, but decided they looked like more trouble than they were worth. I can’t find anything about them, but I don’t trust any prospective employer who is so adamant that your initial sample be previously unpublished.
@nberke Thanks!
