Writing and Editing Jobs

Picture
Edit topics of your choice in areas where you have an interest and expertise. You can receive payment twice a week if you take on enough work.

Online essay writers can sell their original work starting at $10 for a short essay, and up to than $100 for comprehensive work. Online sites like writemypaper.com are looking for good writers.

Another option is freelance writing for magazines, trade publications, newsletters or local newspapers. If you've developed a specialty or have a particular interest in a single topic -- film, fashion, food, travel -- many Web sites and small publications work only with freelancers and regularly look for writers to do reviews on products or new releases, ranging in topic from electronics to beauty.
​
Contact the editors of the publications you'd like to work for. (Their names and contact information can typically be found on the masthead or Web site.) Ask for their writers guidelines and be ready to submit samples of your work. (This is also where links to your work from the two sites listed above can come in handy.) Compensation varies based on your experience. Novices might have to accept free products or press passes for their work. Experienced writers can expect to make anywhere from fifty cents to $2 per word. For multiple articles, you might settle on a flat rate.

Apply for freelance work on sites such as Editfast.com which hires professional writers for a range of projects including resume writing and document proofing and also hires experienced editors, writers and proofreaders. They allow you to work from home on a freelance basis.
