Writing: Find Working from Home Jobs

by angela.booth on February 26, 2009


Are you looking for working from home jobs which involve writing? There are many of these jobs available, let’s look at some effective ways to find them.

1. Find Jobs Using Your Social Network

Finding writing jobs using your social network is perhaps the easiest way. There are many of these networks. Choose MySpace, FaceBook, Twitter, or LinkedIn — they all work. Which you choose depends on your own inclinations.

The big benefit of these networks is that they help you to get in touch with friends and acquaintances. Since the best way of getting a writing job is to get one via a recommendation, these networks work well.

2. Find Jobs Using a Blog

Blogging will get you more writing jobs than you can handle. Although a blog usually won’t get you instant writing work (unless you combine it with social networking), once you do start getting work from your blog, this flow of writing work is ongoing — people will contact you day after day. Once your blog has been online for a year, expect to get at least ten enquiries a day for your writing services.

3. Advertise for Jobs

Advertise for writing jobs using either free classified sites like Craigslist, or by paying for advertising. Either way it’s a fast way to find working from home jobs.

4. Collect Testimonials

The more testimonials you have, the more writing jobs you will get. The reason is simple: your buyers want to know that others have been satisfied with the service you provide.

Contact clients you’ve worked with in the past, and asked for a testimonial. Most people will be happy to give you a testimonial, especially if you give them a link back to their website.

5. Follow up With Clients to Get More Writing Jobs

Your clients can be the best source of writing jobs for you. Ask clients for referrals to colleagues who may be interested in your services. Although this is a very simple process, most writers don’t do it. Referrals are effective because people trust referrals.

Use these tips to find working from home jobs; they work for other writers and they can work for you.
