If you’re a freelance writer and you are looking for (a) additional experience; (b) additional income; (c) an opportunity to build your portfolio, there are some websites that are available to you to help you do this!
Here are some examples:
Helium – if you’re interested in writing about a wide variety of topics and you want the opportunity to practice your writing, Helium offers you a wide range of topics that include poetry, creative writing, business, legal, family issues and the list goes on and on.
One of the nice things about Helium is that you will earn residual income off hits to your articles. Now you’re not going to get rich off these but they do add up. If you’re looking for additional income opportunities take a look at their Marketplace as well.
Associated Content is another site that basically allows you to submit articles. One of the advantages over Helium is that you basically don’t have to write on existing titles, instead you have the opportunity to write about anything that falls in their categories.
Again you’re not going to make a lot of money on these articles, but they go a long way in helping you create a portfolio for your freelance writing business.
Both of these sites will give you an opportunity to flex your writing muscles and create a portfolio. Remember, various categories invite more views so read up on the rules.
Both sites offer you the opportunity to cross-post articles as well so feel free to post them on both sites (read all the rules that apply to the content first!).
Happy freelancing!
