How To Become a Freelance Writer
Content Writing Sites
One of the easiest places for a beginning writer to get started is on one of the various content writing platforms that is available. Some of the most popular sites include Textbroker, Writer Access, Scripted and GetaCopywriter. All of these sites have an application process and the timeline can vary. In some instances, you can be approved and begin writing the very same day. Others will take a week or even longer before you receive notice of whether you were approved.
To make these sites work for you, take your time with the application. Submit your best work even if it means writing a new article for the application. Once you are approved, create a complete profile. Many of these sites allow clients to request a specific writer, often at higher rates than what you earn otherwise. Make sure your profile is informative and include a photo.
Learn the details about whatever site you sign up for. Understand the rules about submissions and revisions and find out if the site rates you as a writer and what it means. Discover options for working directly with a client or if a client can request you. This information can help you be more successful and even work your way up to a higher pay rate.
