The Florida Writer      

Take time to check out the combined amount of freelance writing job resources listed below.

Keep in mind that it does take time to filter through all the information and one could easily become overloaded with writing information. Which isn't always a bad thing. Actually, if your new or unemployed it's a huge moral booster.

Freelance Opportunities Job Sites:

Elance is a great market place for professionals of all walks of life. Whether you are a writer or a designer, you can get some decent work trough Elance. Membership accounts range from FREE to $39.95/month for large businesses.

Elance charges a service fee of between 6.75 % - 8.75 % for paid jobs.

Guru is designed to service freelancers of all kinds and has a very active bulletin board.

Guru offers FREE as well as paid memberships and they range from $29.95 to $99.95 per quarter. Once you get paid for a job well done, Guru takes between 5 % - 10 % commission.

ScriptLance is probably the most known website for freelancers all around the world. It is also the most notorious since most freelancers find work there first. Many freelancers sell themselves really cheap there just to get some work and this is damaging the whole industry.

ScriptLance is FREE for all and they take a 5 % commission on work paid to you.

oZLance is a freelance website focused to bring more connections to Australian and New Zealand professionals and connecting business owners with freelancers. The site is still very young but is also open to worldwide registration.

You can sign up for FREE and pay a small fee to get accredited if you want to for better exposure. There isn’t much traffic yet and you won’t find too many writing gigs, but having said this, there are the occasional bargains.

Freelance Writing is one of those sites to get lost in easily. They have a huge range of information and links leading to other related websites. Whenever I visit the site I find myself still browsing an hour later. So be warned!

Journalism Jobs is simply put a job website for many professionals around the world. Some are in house based and others allow you to work remote.

The best way to see whether there are suitable offers for your experience is to do a keyword search.

Get A Freelancer is similar to ScriptLance and again it is probably more so a good site for beginners in freelance writing since the money is mostly very bad. There is nothing wrong with writing for $5 an article when you first start out, but once you gain credibility and experience this is simply ridiculous.

Suite 101 is an article/freelance site that invites freelance writers into their network. They claim to get 6 millions of views every month and will pay you a share of their income. What is great about Suite 101 is the fact that they have such a broad article gallery where you will find something to write about in your chosen field.

iFreelance is one of the best freelance websites because of the sheer amount of good paying jobs available. Membership levels vary between $ 3.91 - $ 6.58/month but that is all you pay. iFreelance doesn’t charge you a commission fee of your earnings. So fire away by applying for your dream jobs.

Helium is a freelance writers platform that lets you indulge into your craft. Possible income happens from being very active on the site and writing a lot. Articles are voted by the active community and you can also compete for paid freelancing gigs. I have several articles posted on the site myself.

Helium has a huge active reader and writer base and you can write about any topic you like.

CraigsList has been a secret money maker for many entrepreneurs on the Internet for months. It is a huge job and advertising network that spans across the globe and is free to use.

You can also advertise your services for free but you need to be careful not to scam the system. If you do, your ads will be gone in no time.

Pro Blogger Job Board is updating all kind of online jobs every week. You will find blogging jobs, writing, design and more. But you have to be quick in snapping up the good ones as his site is heavily trafficked. So check back often.

Triond allows writers to submit articles under many topics. Registration is free and once your article is in their database they will submit it to their network of websites as well as affiliated sites. Those articles who make it and get published will earn a 50 % share of the revenue generated by their content the previous month. Ultimately this could lead to a nice residual income over time since the articles are there indefinitely.

BizReef is a new online marketplace that offers free advertising for business professionals, it basically connects providers with buyers. What this means for freelance writers is that they can post their online portfolio free of charge in order to attract some jobs.

There are also job offers that one can bid on. Personally I don’t know much about the company since I only found out about them the other day. Since it is free, it might be worth checking out. Update: BizReef has now a new policy in which freelancers have to actually bid a minimum of $2 for the first bid without guarantees of receiving the job. With every bid, the actual price rises.

Blogger Jobs is a job website mainly aimed at bloggers. Unfortunately the site isn’t updated that regularly so you will need to stay put to snatch a good job.

Freelance Writing Gigs is a popular blog that updates freelance writing jobs from around the net every week. The blog has a huge following, so to snatch your desired job you need to be very quick!

Online Writing Jobs is a job data bank that is geared toward freelance writers. You can choose between high paying and low paying freelance writing jobs.

Sun Oasis also provides a regular update on freelance writing jobs. Some are similar as on Pro Blogger and others similar sites that display ads, but then there are also individual ads which you will find with a bit of digging.
