11 Sites to Find Freelance Writing Jobs Right Now
Does not include Upwork.
So, I’ve written before about finding clients through social media like Instagram and how to directly email potential clients/companies.
Those are the two main ways I have historically marketed myself.
However, I also access job boards and find new clients that way, and I want to highlight certain sites that I have found are good for applying to freelance roles.
Now, I am not going to mention Upwork or Fiverr or other content mill-type sites in this post. If you’ve been with me for a while, you already know why but in case you’re new here: I do not use or like these sites. Especially Upwork and their ilk. I feel it is a race to the bottom and the pay rates are too low and perpetuate a vicious cycle of valuing quantity over quality.
I am also not going to list LinkedIn, Indeed, Careerbuilder, etc. While they ARE online job sites that sometimes list freelance roles, I personally have found that they are not great for freelance job searching. There also tends to be a lot of competition here, making it less likely to get a response to your application.
All of the below job sites are FREE. There are also some that are more of a fee-based or subscription-based model, such as SolidGigs and FlexJobs.
