Written by Janet Ilacqua


How many times have you checked out a job board to that either it no longer exists or that there is one or two jobs listed. Out ofrepparttar hundreds of job boards onrepparttar 128787 Web today, how do you find those containing projects that you are interested in and qualified for. I have recently surveyed over 300 freelance web sites and these arerepparttar 128788 best boards for freelance writers. The benchmark that I used for judgingrepparttar 128789 board wasrepparttar 128790 number of legitimate projects (as opposed to “business opportunities” ) and requests for submission being posted every month. I have only included ones posting 30 projects or more a month The very best I picked Guru This huge all-inclusive board connects independent professionals (a.k.a. "gurus") with contract projects. If you are new to independent consulting, check outrepparttar 128791 Run Your Biz section, which includes a “Getting Started” column, where you can leave a question to be answered by experts. Lots of other useful information (e.g. tax and finance, legal, etc.) for contractors. Find a contracting job ("gig") searching by field (creative/media, finance and legal, etc.), keyword, and geography.. Recently, it acquired IT Moonlighter , another with lots of freelance jobs. Whatever, Guru is probablyrepparttar 128792 largest freelance marketplace onrepparttar 128793 Web. Over 3,300 projects posted last month. What makes Guru.com stand out from isrepparttar 128794 number and variety of projects listed andrepparttar 128795 easiness of accessingrepparttar 128796 job. Unlikerepparttar 128797 others, Guru sends daily email alerts of writing gigs that match your profile. Number of writing projects posted every month: 207 Type of projects: Everything and anything, many articles, ghostwriting, editing, copyright, some onsite, some technical. Hasrepparttar 128798 best all around listing of freelance writing gigs. Other good freelance writing sites AllFreelanceWork. Its sister site AllFreelance is my number one site for articles about freelancing and freelance resources. Number of writing projects posted every month: 10 Type of projects: Technical and business writing

Contracted Work A freelance site that has grown in great leaps and bounds. You can do a search and find a great number of projects. There is a monthly fee in order to search for projects, but it might be worth checking out. I personally found that I was not finding enough leads forrepparttar 128799 type of writing I do to be worthrepparttar 128800 fee. Number of writing projects posted every month: 50-74 Type of projects: Openings tends more to web content, copywriting, and sales and marketing Elance. I was actively involved in bidding on this site for a year. However, I did not get my money’s worth. It is geared towards business and technical writing. Number of writing projects posted every month: 130+ Type of projects: little bit of everything: articles, ghostwriting, e-books, web content, technical. Lots of editing and proofreading jobs too

Freelance Work ExchangeNon-Auction freelance site. The Freelance Work Exchange has listings for writers, designers, consultants, programmers. Yes ... it does cost to join; however, there is $3.00 7-day trial memberships so you can test it to see if it will get you work! Highly recommended. Freelance Work Exchange is a solid, reliable freelance site, but in order to search jobs it will cost you a monthly fee. Number of writing projects posted every month: 30-40 Type of projects: little bit of everything: calls for articles, ghostwriting, e-books, web content, technical. Geared more towards general writing markets, as opposed to corporate-style stuff.
