There are many different opportunities here on the sites listed below, many freelancing jobs that are available range from writing, translation, data entry, blogging, web design…etc. On some of these sights after you sign up you will first place bids on the jobs you are qualified and interested in. You will then wait to see if you get selected for the job you put in for or if another freelancer was selected. Some writers do really well and others not so much, it really depends on what you want to do with your freelancing career and the skill set you have to offer. The more you do it the easier it becomes, practice makes perfect. These three sites are very popular among many freelancers and are highly recommended by lots of successful people that freelance on the side.

www.iwriter.com
For Iwriter you will have to make an account by signing up on their homepage. It is a very easy process and FREE! Once you have made an account you are given a rating that normally will start with a one star. That will limit your job opportunities at first but as you advance by taking on the smaller jobs you will soon be promoted to the more higher paying jobs that are offered.
www.blogmutt.com
Blogmutt is a site you get paid to take on blogging assignments from different clients. It is very easy you just have to sign-up and take a grammar test and sometimes a small writing test. Different sites have their own requirements because they are trying to see if this is the writing niche for you.
www.scripted.com
Scripted is a lot harder to get into but pays really well! First you have to sign-up and take a grammar quiz. If you pass the quiz you are automatically taken to a screen where you can choose between three topics to write a small blog post about. MAKE SURE YOU READ THE DIRECTIONS! that is key to being successful on this site. Once you have completed the first blog assignment then you will have to do a small descriptive writing assignment on an item of their choice. If you manage to get through all those hoops you will hear back from them by email letting you know that you have been accepted as a qualified writer for Scripted!!!
www.writersaccess.com
Writeraccess is another great website that pays really well if you become accepted to be a writer for them. You can choose from four different categories which include: Writing, Editing, Translation, and Content Strategy. Choose the job that fits your freelancing style and they will email you back if you fit their needs in that area of expertise.
www.writerbay.com
Writersbay is very similar to Writeraccess. You have to apply but it is more for general freelancing so you don’t have to really choose a niche. They will also email you if you match what they are looking for in a writer.
www.articledocument.com
Article Document is a wonderful website if you want to get some sample articles and experience behind you. You start off with creating an account with them and writing three articles of your choice (they have a list you can choose from and it is very extensive). Once you are done with the articles you are rated. If you are rated an “8” or above as a total from your three unpaid articles then you are able to take on paid assignments. You also get royalties for all articles you write for them including the three you wrote prior to the paid assignments.
www.fiverr.com
Fiverr is a more relaxed writing environment and is very popular among a lot of people who need a freelancer because the pricing is extremely reasonable for clients. The base charge that you start your services at is $5. You can have add-on bonuses for extra money but the base usually starts at the five dollar mark. All you have to do is sign-up on their homepage and get started. It is a good way to get you and your services out in the lime-light in the world of freelance writing.
www.freelancewriting.com
This is one of my favorite websites. It offers a lot of freelancing positions by promoting them from other sites that are looking for writers, editors, and other popular niches of the world of freelancing. There are jobs for web design, editing, proofreading, writing, etc. You can go there for extra information about applying for gigs and contests as well.
Last year was full of adventures just like this year is starting to blossom. We brought in the New Year with our newest addition to our growing family, Jewel Florence Bennett, who was born January 15th. Having five kids has definitely taught me that patience is a definite necessity to keeping a cool on the craziest of moments. Personally it is such a joy as a mother to see all my kids be so attentive and active with each other.
