Ok, I’ve moved and have lived with no central heating for a week. Woodstoves are fun, but tend to take up all your time if you’re not used to them. I’m still living out of boxes and my house smells like smoke. So I’m posting a quick cop-out with the newest online writing jobs from ProBlogger. (more…)

As I mentioned a few posts ago (Basics of Freelance Bidding Sites), I have joined Elance and thought it was time to post what I’ve noticed about the service. They are changing their fees and bidding structure next month, so things may be different in the near future but I’m pretty sure some of the issues I’ve had will still be issues. (more…)

Until recently, I’ve spend most of my job-hunting time looking at various job boards and hoping for the best. I’ve now thought about giving the bidding-type sites a try. There are many of them, but using the larger ones will offer you more job choices. (more…)

Craigslist is becoming THE place to look online for just about anything. It’s more than just a job board, as you can find things for sale, apartments for rent, personals and way more. It’s a classified ad type site, covering everything you can imagine, including freelance writing jobs.

Now, Craigslist is actually a number of sites, each for a major city or region. It’s not just one site that you can browse through. There are about 20 major US cities, and 8 major Canadian cites, with a total of more than 450 location-specific sites. That can make it awkward for searching, as you basically have to check each city. (more…)

I used to browse through Sunoasis periodically and they do still offer a good collection of job postings, some freelance, some online as well as some jobs that are in-house writing positions.  I thought I’d share the site, but it’s not the best place for job-hunting. The site has poor navigation and many of the jobs are picked from other job boards (like Craigslist). Even so, there can be gems amongst it all and worth a bit of time when you are looking for gigs.

One of the sites that I regular check for work opportunities is the job board at Problogger. The jobs are specifically for blogging, which is fast becoming the new style of online writing. Most of the jobs listed here are from the b5media group, but the board does offer new job openings every couple of days. I think that it will become busier as more companies decide that blogs are the way to gain regular readers.
