How Can I Find Write for Us Opportunities For My Niche?
Tips and Tricks for finding freelance writing clients
When I first started freelance writing, one of the issues I struggled with the most was exactly HOW to find freelance writing clients.
Sure, I quickly discovered content mills like Upwork (was ODesk then), Guru, and Freelancer. But those jobs were extremely low paying and it was difficult to compete with freelance writers from third world countries who were willing to work for low pay.
When I did take work on Upwork, I worked my tail off for very little money until I was fortunate enough to find clients willing to pay a bit more for quality content.
Many other freelancers suggested I check content mills such as Textbroker, popular job boards like Problogger and Mediabistro, or third party freelance sites like Guru, Fiverr, and Freelancer. And there were some good jobs on those sites but finding the good paying ones that fit my skill set was time consuming.
I found I had to sort through oodles and oodles of job postings that didn’t suit my skills or participate in a race to the bottom bid process to get clients.
It just wasn’t working very well. I was relieved to find that there was indeed a better way to find writing clients.
