As a freelance writer, you probably spend hours scanning free job boards looking for telecommuting writing jobs-- in other words, freelance writing jobs you can do from home. With numerous websites listing non-paying gigs amongst their paying job postings, it can take an hour or more each day to wade through the mess. Not to mention, just because a job is listed as a freelance job doesn't necessarily mean you can do the work from home. Many job posters are looking for freelance writers who will come to their place of business and do the writing work on-site. For those of us freelance writers who telecommute, this only complicates our job search. My daily freelance writing job search on free job boards consists of the following: I pull up Indeed.com and enter in several groups of search terms, such as "freelance writer" and "writer" "telecommute"-- there are at least a dozen keyword groups I search after these, but you get the idea. As seems to be the trend in the freelance writing world, most job posters never reply back. Let's face it-- the process of searching for telecommuting writing jobs on free job boards can be infuriating. What are the alternatives to searching for telecommuting writing jobs on free job boards? Pay a membership fee to sites like GoFreelance.com or JustMarkets.com. Or, go with the job bidding sites like Elance.com or Writerlance.com. But, what about people who can't afford the fees? Chances are, if you're just starting out, your budget won't allow you the cost of such luxuries. Although membership sites may be considered legitimate business deductions for tax purposes (depending on where you live), the bottom line is that the money will come out of your pocket initially, even if you do deduct the cost on your taxes later. Of course, there are the traditional methods for finding telecommuting writing jobs, like creating a website to advertise your freelance writing services, and visiting job sites that allow you to post your freelance writing resume free. Still, for the bulk of freelance writers, most jobs still come from taking the time to search for telecommuting writing jobs online. Unfortunately, there is no path to finding telecommuting writing jobs that won't take some time or money. By getting into a regular job-search routine and using bookmarks and job feeds to your advantage, you can speed up the process and make things a little less frustrating for yourself. http://richmondblogbeast.com
