Writing Gigs and Jobs
I’ve noticed these days there are more and more sites opening up as networks for blogs. The deal usually is that if you are accepted you post on your niche blog and the more page views you make the more money you’ll make. These sites always existed but now are becoming more prevalent.
I have been writing for one network site for a couple of years so they are more established and I do see a very small but growing income every month. I also suspect that the amount I make would be higher if I would write more often. I do tend to slack on this site. The point is to know writing and site trends and get in early when possible. Although there are always writing jobs, they are not always the same type of writing that is your specialty. Keep your eyes peeled for new trends and you may end up with what fits you best.
I was scanning ads this morning and came across one that said “Writer needed, will be payed great”. You probably want to skip ads titled this way. If they can’t spell a simple word like paid, then maybe you should do more checking before you sign any contracts or send any work to them. At the same time, don’t completely dismiss them as stupid. They may be foreign and are not that good with English. Personally I would think they would set up and use a spellchecker, but that’s just me.
