Creative Writing

By Mark Drest

 Good freelance writing opportunites can definitely be found on the internet, including lucrative ones, but why does it often seem like all that are "out there" are ads in search of articles for a ridiculously low fee? If you do not want to turn into a "penniless writer", then you will want to learn to dig up good freelance writing opportunities - and here is how you can do that!


1. Do a quick background search on the company or site listing the ad. Try to discover if the website has a long or short online presence, if they can provide contact information, and how popular they are with other writers. If it is 100% legitimate, you will find that those posting the ads are always very open about giving this information.

2. Be selective! Look for freelance writing opportunities where the client specifies that he/she could be contacted directly by telephone if the job is won - often bids are fairly vague, and a voice-to-voice conversation with the one hiring you regarding what's going to be required is very helpful.
