I just posted 5 Ways to Search for Freelance Writing Jobs on Twitter. The inspiration for this post came from a discussion on the Freelance Writing Jobs social network as to whether or not freelance writers should be involved in the social networks. While some folks think social networking is a lot of noise and distraction, the truth is it’s an amazing networking tool. It’s also a terrific way to fiut who is hiring and where the jobs are.
Found this gem on Craigslist. Did you write it? Thanks for allowing me to start my day with a smile!

Whoopsy!
Not too sure on that “Full staff needed for newspaper” listing … hmmmm.
Thank you for the full list of leads…. Every day they are a wonderful help. My two favorite writing jobs I’ve found through this site. Thanks again!
Thanks for the leads. I have been busy with other things and it is always nice to see a long list of leads when I have time to come back to this site.
Now, last time I posted, I’m afraid I touched off a controversy with the $1/blog post thing. Sorry. But I wanted to raise this point. How do others feel about seeing posts asking for a writer/editor to rewrite articles that have previously appeared in the poster’s magazine? Is that kicking off a whole dustup regarding copyright? If I were the original author, I’d 1) want to be sure that my work was not being reworked, 2) hope the publication would contact me first to see if I would like to rewrite it, and 3) wonder what else that publication may have done without permission.
Of course, there is no mention of copyright issues in the ad. Maybe it’s not even relevant in this case. But as someone who has seen her work reposted without compensation, I would want to ask about that before taking this job.
I’m just sayin’ …..
Thanks again.
I just wanted to pop in and thank you for compiling this list. It makes me feel productive without having to scour craigslist all day long.
@Donna: But, wouldn’t the magazine own the copyright?
This might be a dumb question, but I’m trying to find the freelancewritinggig postings from April 20, 2009. Do they go away after a few days? I checked April ‘archives’ section (to the right) and didn’t see it there.
Thanks everyone.
Mary it’s not a dumb question – At the top of this blog click on “writing gigs” and it should take to all of the leads posts
Has anyone else noticed that the people posting the “educational writers needed” post are all over the net? I see them with the same ad in more than a half dozen major cities . . . I have applied four different times and never once have I gotten any kind of response. I have been in the educational writing business for 20 plus years and am extremely experienced so I am surprised that I never receive any kind of reply. Has anyone else responded to this ad and heard something back? I’d love to know more. Thanks.
@ Tamra – I think it’s definitely a scam designed to get email addresses. That exact ad has been appearing for at least 5 or 6 months. I too have applied a couple of times (and I have experience writing questions for those exact tests) and haven’t heard anything back.
