Problogger charges $50 from a client to post a job on their board, so you can be sure that the clients who post here will definitely hire someone. While

While UPwork clients generally post jobs and never look back, Problogger clients need high-quality writing and are looking for serious writers. I once landed a job on Problogger and was able to earn about $3,500 per month from it. The job lasted for 6 months, so make sure you apply only if you’re a serious writer who can write daily for several months.

    Hello, Harsh ji.
    The very good list you made for content writing. I am keenly desired towards writing, I applied on up work before 3 months ago but, there is no response are coming.pls, suggest me something to do get work from there.

    1. Harsh Agrawal

      @Rahul
      In that case, you should do a few things:

      1) Optimize your profile. Do some work for cheaper price so that your profile builds up with client recommendations.
      2) Also try other freelancing networks like Freelancer.com and others.

  2. Sheeroh

    Great post Harsh. Freelance writing is still an in-demand freelancing job. Probloggerjobs has some great writing gigs as well.

  3. Pankaj Mondal

    Sadly, Indians are barred from writing on Constant Content

  4. Muthukrishnan

It always shouts loudly to help the bloggers to find solutions.Very useful article for the freelance writers..I wanna give a try to the list of websites you have mentioned.. Really appreciated ur efforts for maintaining the blog in a long term and changed ur blog as one place to for all the blogging solutions…

  5. Damian

    Thanks dear, that was an educative piece of writing. I will check out some of them now.

    Great post!

    They are good start of websites. However the content mills can be devastating where screening issues delay opportunities for start up writers.

    I think other platforms like iwriters, inkedhubwriters, scripted, textbrokers etc. can make it to this list as easier targets to scoring up a few gigs that can help you grow your porfolio before scoring the tough links.

    Nonethless, this was informative.

    Keep writing!

  7. Adesola

    This is very good, I am looking forward to working with a good client.
    Although I have been trying trying to get a writing gig all these while but all to no avail.

    If anyone here can help,lets talk.

    We are consuming about 100 articles a day from different levels of writers (for SEO, guest posting, putting on our own blogs and highly researched product review articles).

    Few insights as a client –

    1. When we pay per word, there is certain lack of accountability in the content and more often would seem like the words were put together just for the sake of meeting the content word count.

    2. When we pay per article, we sometimes feel like the content could have been explained a bit better but since it was per article project it was cut short. .

    After dealing with the confusion for few months here is what we came up with –

    Pay per article, where the price depends on the range of words.

    Lets say from 750-1000 words $XX , from 1000-1500 words XX and so on.

    This way, the writer doesn’t stuff words and have room for putting only the words needed while still getting fairly paid for the effort and the quality is maintained for the sake of long term relationships and bulk work.

    1. Harsh Agrawal

      @Radhe
      That’s brilliant. This is the same model I use whenever I hire any writer.
      Thanks for adding value.

    2. Sukriti Taneja

      Good strategy. Being an experienced Content Writer, I too work with the same model. It puts more focus on the quality of words rather than the quantity. Good to know there are employers out there who think on the same lines.

    iF you want to make money by writing Online, you need to brush up on your writing skills. It’s one of the most central factors to making good money. Set aside some time every day to practice your writing and get yourself a copy of Strunk and White and study it. Reading well-written books by contemporary authors is a great way to learn the difference between good writing and bad writing.

  10. Abbati

    Hello, it was a nice write up there. But how about offering your services on your personalized portfolio website independently, I think it pays more. Like this, you will source your clients your self, may be on social media, and receive payments directly, no commission, nothing!
    These days, freelancing websites are getting saturated, and due to the level of competition therein, you only get to sell your services for low amounts, unlike when you are selling directly.

    HI,

    I have been working as a content writer for over 6 years, in between tried to get some assignments from service marketplaces, however, i did not get any. The reasons were clear, either the clients were paying less or there were many writers to accept any payment for their work. On freelance sites, morality of both is a big issue. I hope you understand what I want to say.

    Thanks for this post.
