23 Places to Find a Job
October 30th, 2008 by Sylvia
If you’re in the freelance biz, here are 23 fantastic places to find new clients. This was posted awhile back of Freelance Writing Gigs, one of my favorite places to find work. Every week they offer a list of businesses looking for writers. If you’re not signed up for their feed, you really are missing out on some great opportunities.
- Freelance Writing Jobs - They are the number one freelance writer community online..
- About Freelance Writing - Anne Wayman’s awesome resource includes leads three times a week. I’ve been talking to Anne about trading some guests posts and collaborating on some things. She’s good people and looks out for writers. Also visit her blog The Golden Pencil.
- Problogger - Darren Rowse’s blog about blogging features a job board filled with blogging gigs. I found a few great gigs here.
- Performancing - In addition to checking out our job board, check out some great articles and forum posts about blogging.
- Craigslist - Don’t laugh. Craigslist is an amazing resource. I found one of my biggest corporate clients on Craigslist. Just be sure to keep a wary eye out for scams and people who want something for nothing.
