Finding a writing job is tough if you don’t know where to
look.
Well, good news. If you want to get paid to write, you have
more opportunities than ever. The days of the starving artist are over
thanks to:
- Blogging
- Content
marketing
- Copywriting
- Freelance
writing online
- Self-publishing
Today you can earn hundreds or even thousands of dollars a
month income from expressing your creative ideas, telling stories and sharing
your expertise through the written word.
Here’s what we’ll cover in this article:
I’ve listed 21 websites, services and platforms that
offer writing
jobs for all types of writers. Each section includes:
- An
analysis of the website
- What
kinds of jobs do they offer
- Pay
rates
- Pros
- Cons
Keep in mind some sites offer other types of writer jobs
than what I’ve included in this guide. Rates also vary widely depending on your
niche, location and time of year.
Writing is a diverse career that offers many different ways
to earn money. Let’s get started.
Where Can You Find Writing Jobs That Pay?
Praise be for the internet.
Now you can write from anywhere and get paid for your
hard work. Be it Miami, Seattle or Dublin, online
writing jobs that pay well are available without any geographic
restrictions. However, smart writers know where to look.
You could write for content mills–a site or service that
churns out cheap articles for other websites–but those don’t pay much.
Instead, set up job alerts on popular writing sites (I’ll
give you all the details below.) and stay up-to-date on the best writing gigs
available.
1. ProBlogger
ProBlogger is
one of the best job boards for bloggers. It’s a great place to find copywriting
jobs and a fantastic way to recruit freelancers.
The site includes several resources that bloggers can use to
improve their blogs and attracts some of the best writers and authors from
around the world.
The job boards attract some of the highest paying and some
most prestigious writing opportunities and editing jobs. Many top bloggers I
know advertise here looking for part-time and full-time writers.

- Editors
and proofreaders

Similar to Upwork, the rates of ProBlogger jobs are based on
the work. Determine your price ahead of time based on average time and
effort needed and make that clear to the job advertiser.
Note: This job board will help you find
prospects. It’s up to you to make sure they’re the right fit and meet your
income requirements.
Pros
- One
of the leading marketplaces for blogging jobs over the past 10 years

sign-up process or profile creation needed
- Job
advertisers required to pay at least $70, a fee that weeds out bottom
feeders

to earn full-time income right away
- Site
doesn’t screen jobs
2. Upwork

previously known as oDesk, is a one-stop solution for all kinds of writer jobs.
Known for freelance jobs, Upwork makes it easy and
cost-effective to find, hire and work with the best professionals around the
world.

card writing gigs or medical writing projects, this is a good platform to
start. I’ve used Upwork to source a video editor, podcast editor, designer,
bookkeeper and more.
Types Of Writing Jobs Offered

Pay rates on Upwork vary, as nearly all listings in the job
search are freelance. Potential workers define their payment rate (or bid) in
their proposals.
Upwork charges a small fee depending on your account
type. This starts at 20% for the first $500 billed and drops to 5% for lifetime
billing once you exceed $10,000.
Novice freelancers might find it hard to make good money at
first because of the complicated bidding system.
You’ll also need to take on some low-paying work at first
until you’ve built a reputable Upwork profile.
Fortunately, you can take expert skill tests for
freelancers. Once you pass the criteria, you can display it on your profile and
show your expertise to clients.
Pros

contracts

to build long-term relationships with clients

Simply browse for work using these categories.
Watch the Become a Writer Today video on submission tools

Once you find a job you like, send an application. Most
employers require a resume and previous work as a reference.
On that last point, no matter where you look for work as a

capture client testimonials.

these special requests.

post or $100 per article.

buying and selling. It’s also a popular place for people to find job openings
at businesses in their area. It’s a good source of freelance writing and
editing jobs.
If you’re searching for a more permanent writing opportunity
or even a part-time job, Craigslist offers a variety of permanent positions,
including staff writer, content lead and SEO specialist.
Search for writing jobs under the “Writing/Editing” category
of the job listings. Unfortunately, you’ll have to browse through each city’s
listings first.

ready-made content.
Essentially, this content marketing service connects top
writers with large companies like Uber, Walgreens and eBay.

copy editors, proofreaders, and translators.
Their platform makes it easy for companies and agencies to
find good writers and translators in any industry.
I often use Writer’s Access to hire other people who have a
skillset like copywriting or understand a particular niche.
A platform like Writers Access is good if you have expert
knowledge in specific areas like healthcare, the law, security, and so on.
To stand out on Writers Access, it’s a good idea to upload a
writing sample for your profile. You may also want to identify your niche (e.g.
healthcare, personal finance, etc.) and specialisms (e.g. copywriting).
Many editors and owners of popular B2B websites and blogs
use Writers Access to hire writers for short-term gigs e.g. Write 1,000 words

18. American Writers And Artists, Inc. (AWAI)
American
Writers and Artists, Inc., teaches nonfiction writers how to earn thousands
of dollars through copywriting (writing words that sell products or services).
This type of writing gig is quite profitable. For example, a
B2B company may hire a copywriter to produce copy for a series of landing pages.
Instead of getting paid per word, the copywriter may receive a commission based
on the number of conversions that the landing page generates.
They’re one of the more established providers of writing
training in the industry today. They also teach content marketing and
direct response. One of their courses even specializes in teaching writers how
to work at home and earn a living.
AWAI offers a “ten thousand” challenge that allows you to
build your portfolio (and earn some decent cash) before you finish the
program. I’ve taken some AWAI copywriting courses, and their materials are
first-rate.
Types Of Writing Jobs Offered
- Copywriting
- Direct
response writing
- Press
releases
- Blogging
- Banner
ads and text ads

a name for yourself and acquiring high-profile clients takes time.

20. Medium
Medium places much of its content behind a paywall for
premium readers. They allocate some of this fee toward paying writers who are
part of the partner program based on the post’s member rating.
The Medium partner program enables any member of Medium to
get paid for writing stories for members each month. I’m a member and
receive more or less than one hundred dollars each month depending on
what I wrote.
That doesn’t sound like much, but I don’t focus too much on
this platform.
I’m also in a Medium group and members in that group receive
five figures a month from writing on Medium. They usually cover topics like
entrepreneurship or personal development and work from home.
You can write about whatever you like in Medium. The trick
is finding an audience who will read it!
You don’t need to worry too much writing long-winded writing
to get paid by Medium. The platform is less about landing a writing gig and
more about attracting traffic and readers to your published articles. Because
anyone can press publish.
That said, top Medium writers publish on publications. If
you want to write for those, build a relationship with the editor on Medium, or
look for submission guidelines.
Medium copy editors and proofreaders will work with top
writers on their stories and even promote them.
Types Of Writing Jobs Offered
- Self-help
advice
- Entrepreneurship
advice
- Blogging
Pay
Here’s an update from the Medium partner program team for
June 2019:

of writers who wrote at least one story earned something.
- 7.8%
of active writers made more than $100 in a month.
- $13,577.33
was the most collected by a writer for June, and $3,913.74 was the
most received for a single story at time of writing.
Pros
- Great
for building a name for yourself

dollars)

might not get any feedback on your work if people don’t read it.
- Medium,
like any social media network, takes a few months to master.
21. LinkedIn
LinkedIn is a relatively useful social media network for
writers and editors looking for work.
Firstly, if you’re a freelance writer, you can reach out to
your connections and pitch them relevant ideas. You’ll need a LinkedIn premium
