The good writing jobs are becoming more and more difficult to find. It seems like there are so many content mills out there that pay next to nothing for your valuable time. Some prime examples are Elance, Demand Studios, oDesk, Examiner, and CrowdSource. These websites/writing companies will drain you of your time, and eventually your soul. All the while, they make a fortune off of your hard work.
Unfortunately Craigslist is another prime example of BAD writing job opportunities. If you take the time to browse through the writing job and writing gig posts, you will find a deluge of sad and insulting writing jobs and freelance gigs. Many of these will offer you rates like $5 for a 500-word article or 1 cent per word. This is absolutely absurd, and you can be sure the people offering these jobs would never work for these pitiful rates. This is less than minimum wage.
Okay, on the bright side, there are some good places to find legitimate writing jobs and freelance work. Here are the 12 best writing job websites I have discovered over the years. I hope they help you find some great opportunities.
1) Morning Coffee
2) BloggingPro Job Board
3) Journalism Jobs
4) MediaBistro
5) ProBlogger Latest Jobs
6) Freelance Job Openings
7) Freelance Writing
8) Indeed
9) The Write Jobs
10) Jobster
11) Simply Hired
12) CareerBuilder
You will notice that there are no fees involved with these writing job websites. The truth is no one wants to pay money to find a job!
