How To Find Freelance Writing Jobs Using Craigslist

by David_Drake

Craiglist is a massive portal for online classifieds and forums
varying from job opportunities, housing, goods, services, and
local activities plus just about everything else. While the site
is active in 450 cities around the globe, it attracts over 9
billion hits per month.

If you are in to freelance writing, Craiglist will be your
perfect starting point. To begin with, login to craigslist.org �
The first method to get about finding a job is by performing a
search. For this you will need to select a country and/or a city
that you would like to take the job from; e.g. London. Then you
can browse through the �jobs� category to find freelance writing
jobs that suit you.

Once you spot interesting opportunities, you can follow its
hyperlink to read through details of the job. On any given job
posting, there will be a posting ID and a phone number, email
address or other contact information. If you are interested in
trying out the opportunity, simply go ahead and contact the
relevant party.

Here�s another approach to performing a search. When you go to
the city level (in some cases country level as well) you�ll see a
search box on to your left hand side. Simply enter keywords such
as �writing� or �editing� and select �jobs� from the dropdown to
begin your search. You will see search results matching your
keywords presented in chronological order. As you may already
assume, finding a job this way can consume a lot of time as there
will be thousands of listings. So one option you�ve got is to
narrow down the search by selecting or deselecting parameters
below the search field, which will produce more accurate
results.

If not, your best deal is to post your own advertisement. To do
this, simply navigate up to a city of your choice and use �post
to classifieds� link. Select the link �Service Offered� and then,
follow the link �writing/editing/translations�. Depending on the
city or country you have chosen you, might be asked to select a
specific geographical area; however your next step is to come up
with a creative advertisement. Once you submit the advertisement,
you will have to accept Craigslist terms of conditions. If you
agree, you will be notified via email on how to publish your
entry. Simply follow the guidelines and your advertisement will
be published at the website for the coming 7 days, free of
charge. However, make sure not to post too many ads as you may
risk being suspended from the website. So if you are posting
multiple advertisements, make sure to make them each unique and
possibly use different email addresses too.

However, the most effective way of finding writing jobs on
Craigslist is by subscribing for RSS feeds on writing jobs from
each city. You will find the RSS feature at the bottom right
corner of the website. So, with the help of a RSS feed
aggregator, which you can find on Yahoo or Google for free, you
can find the latest job listings delivered straight to you.
