Where to find article writing jobs?

Article writing has been part of my daily routine. Apart from my full time work as an IT professional, I am doing the writing task during my free time. Usually, I am spending 1-2 hours a day writing specific topic. I started my article writing experience when I found a job posting of an Indian looking for article writer (actually an aspiring writer). During that time I am eager to find for any part time job over the internet. I tried my luck, I emailed him stating that I am willing to write given the fact that I had no experience as an article writer in the past.

For me to pass and join in the team, I made and submitted 2 test articles and luckily I made it. Particularly, I made a 500-word article depending on the given topic. With this effort, I am only receiving 1$ for every article made which is I think not worth for the effort spent.  I managed to create articles for him and due to this, my english skills have been increased dramatically.

The best thing I admire about the Indian which I can consider as my mentor, he made it to a point to let me know my mistake in my submitted article. He keenly checked my writing and sent the article back with his correction.

Its been a year and a half that I am doing article writing and while  I am doing this, I discovered so many things. One of these is the list of some websites where to find writing and editing jobs. If you are an experienced writer or a beginner, you can find below on the link of websites article writing and editing jobs with the right price.

2. Craiglists

The above names of websites have been proven and really works for me. Through that, I got a very good deal that really satisfies the spent effort on each article. But of course, it is expected from you since clients are paying you for the right price, they must also received and deserved the right article for the price they paid.

The very one thing I learned while doing the article writing, quality must always comes first before quantity. Do not compromise the quality of article over the quantity. Do not accept bulk of orders if you cannot deliver it on time.

There are several people I knew, this type of job really works for them. Some even make it full time, this happened especially if they have already a regular clients that needs bulk of articles for a specific topic. One thing for sure, this was attained because the delivered article is in utmost quality that makes the client  stay.

Always go for the quality first, work just comes in if the deliverable satisfy the requirements of clients.
