FlexJobs for Freelancers

As a freelance writer, finding steady work can be tough. Ask any freelance writer, copywriter, freelance editor, or website content writer who works from home. On the bright side, there are more and more writing opportunities emerging each year. It seems that most reading sources are being converted to the Internet. One job posting board or website where you'll find freelance work is FlexJobs.com.

Let's take a closer look at FlexJobs. This website provides leads on countless freelance jobs in more than 50 different categories. Great! Flex Jobs allows you access to dozens of telecommuting jobs. Awesome! This website posts new jobs every day. Wonderful! But, there is a catch. It's not free!

How much are you going to have to pay to get access to these freelance writing jobs and telecommuting gigs? Well, prices start at $14.95 per month. Now, think about that for a second. That's about $180 a year for a membership to a job board. If you're looking for work, you probably don't have $15 to fork out each month. Right?

While I appreciate the concept of FlexJobs.com, I have no interest in paying a monthly fee to see what jobs are available. Since when do we have to pay to get a job? There are major job boards and websites like Careerbuilder.com and Monster.com that charge nothing. Not to mention a number of other freelance writing job websites that can assist you.

Feel free to browse through the Flex Jobs website, but keep in mind that you can't apply for any of the available work until you pay the fee. While this may be okay with some people, I'd rather get paid to work. I have no intention of paying for work. Check out these free job postings
