QualityText is a content agency that delivers all sorts of content.

Here is a list of some of the best
revenue sharing websites. As you would have already imagined they DO NOT
pay a fixed amount or upfront for your content. Instead, they share
their ad revenue with you. In other words, you can submit as many
articles as you want and if they are approved then they will publish it
on their websites and will monetize it with ads. So, when they make
money from your contributed content, you get a cut of it.
Note: While these websites are not so
good for the long term it’s a good place to start and get some articles
published in your name (without any investment) so that you can show
your work to potential clients.

Freelance Marketplaces are platforms
that connects buyers and sellers of services. And if you check any of
the following freelance sites then you can see that “Writing” is one of
the top skills in demand. Why? Because content is the King on the
internet and there’s an immense demand for great content and writers.
The only problem is… all these
marketplaces are crowded with hundreds of thousands of freelancers and
agencies. And that’s the reason why experienced writers won’t recommend
it. But I would say if you have got the basic writing skills then it’s
still a great place to kick-start your freelance writing journey.

47. Digital Point
Digital Point is one of the most popular
webmaster forums on the web. They have an Article Marketplace where the
members are able to sell their written content. So, if you have already
written a few articles then you can post its details there as a new
thread and any of the members may buy it. Don’t expect premium rates but
if it’s a fair deal then it’s easy to sell things there. They also have
a Content Creation Marketplace where the members can request content or
offer their writing services.
ProBlogger Job Board is a marketplace by
Darren Rowse where anyone can post a job (mostly related to blogging
& online marketing) for 30 days, for $50. So, if you are looking for
premium writing gigs then you can go there and apply (it’s free to
apply!). But what you should keep in your mind is that they are looking
for high quality writers only. It’s not a place for beginners! If your
pitching is not right or is just another pitch then it’s less likely
that you get a response. Why? Because Darren once shared an email on
Facebook that says one of his Job Board advertiser got 200 quality
applicants in just 8 days. So, when you pitch you have to give a reason
to the advertiser to hire you and not someone else.
BloggingPro Job Board is an alternative to ProBlogger Job Board. Because you never know who is going to hire you.

freelance job sites. And it won’t take much time to connect with
someone as it’s just like reaching out on Facebook.
LinkedIn Jobs is a job search engine and

Before You Apply: 20 Freelance Writing Tip
1. You simply don’t need a college degree to become a successful writer but if you have one then it’s going to be great.
2.If you are a beginner then your
biggest challenge will be to find your first real client. That is,
someone who is willing to pay what you desire.
3.Don’t be that person who is ready to
write about anything. Focus only on topics related to your industry
because niche bloggers and writers are always in great demand. If you
are curious and passionate about your “niche” then there is every
possibility that you will become an expert writer in all topics related
to your niche and you can charge a premium for all your work.
4.Ask yourself what you are passionate about, and focus only on that topics.
5.It’s highly recommended that you start
a blog that focuses on topics that you are passionate about. Tip: Write
Today; Monetize Tomorrow!
6.A blog will make you a better writer,
thinker, and will immediately act as your portfolio. And it’s the first
step to your own personal brand.
7.When your blogs traffic picks up you
will have to network with more people than you do on Twitter, Facebook,
or any other social media channel. Be ready.
8.If you are unable to start a blog,
then the least you could do prepare an online resume. Check out over 51
publishing platforms where you can showcase your awesomeness.
9.You don’t need to make your presence
felt on each and every social network out there, but be active on few
social media channels, especially LinkedIn, Twitter, and About.me. Tip:
Write a professional social media bio. Now!
10.Share content on your social media channels that’s related to your industry.
11.Be fair when it comes to pricing. Make sure that your services are not cheap or expensive.
12.Deliver on time. Because that’s one
quality expected from all freelancers. If there is any kind of delay
then communicate with the client and keep them in the loop. And do
overdeliver whenever it’s possible.
13.Do not apply to each and every
freelance writing gigs that you come across. Apply only if you feel that
it’s relevant and is something that you are perfectly fit for.
14.If you are pitching a big brand then
it’s a good idea to make a deal at first. For instance, you can connect
with one of their editors in a genuine way and eventually send your
pitch. But make sure that your pitch is short and simple. And follow-up
if you didn’t hear back.
15.Your client will value you much more than anyone else if you solved their problems or showed them how you stand out.
16.When you receive great feedbacks or testimonials, showcase it on your profile.
17.Make sure you’ve published few
content before applying to high-paying jobs. Because there’s 99.9%
chance that your client will ask for your writing portfolio and will ask
its links. It doesn’t matter where it’s published but it must be your
original, best work.
18.If you are a beginner and do not have
a great track record then be prepared to face a lot of rejections. In
fact, your potential clients may not even respond if you do not give
them a reason to hire you.
If you do not have previous experience or a portfolio then your focus should be to build it up. So, be willing to take few low paid (or even unpaid) writing gigs.
If you do not have previous experience or a portfolio then your focus should be to build it up. So, be willing to take few low paid (or even unpaid) writing gigs.
19.It’s much, much, much better to become an expert writer in a single topic than a mediocre writer in all topics.
20Practice, practise, and practise. Never stop learning. Ever!
Conclusion
There are many other sites that would
help you make money online through writing. So treat this blog post as a
starting point to your freelance writing journey and do not make it
your ultimate destination for writing gigs. If you have any question
