Freelance Writing Jobs Work From Home
Hi folks! Jorden here, and I'm back with another round-up of amazing freelance writing jobs from home, many of which are great for beginners! Mariana, the author of the post, did a great job including LOADS of different niches. Plus, the list only includes gigs that pay $100+! So no matter what you want to write about, you should be able to find at least a couple awesome sites to pitch by the time you're done reading this guest blog post. 🙂 Over to you, Mariana!
As a beginner freelance writer, you might think that $20 is good pay.
Someone paying you to do what you already love doing?
Sounds like the dream, and you'll take whatever you can get!
Most of us have accepted that $20 per blog post rate so happily you would think that the editors were doing us a favor.
…Except they're definitely not.
People pay you to write, not because they want to support the arts, but because they need your content.
You are providing them a service and fulfilling a gap in their professional needs.
Once you realize this, you can see that $20 (or $30, $40, $50) is not good pay for work that is often research and time intensive.
If you are consistently delivering great work and making editor's lives easier while driving traffic to their websites, you deserve much more.
And this blog post will prove how doable it is to make $100 your minimum and constantly strive for more, even as a beginner freelance writer with no experience.
Keep reading for a list of 150 freelance writing jobs from home that will actually help you pay the bills while fulfilling you creatively!
