Freelance Writing

When I heard this words FREELANCE writing before, it makes me feel so hard to believe I can do it. Writer? oh no!!! that's too hard.. hahaha.. But since I am not employed for almost 4 years now, I have no choice but to try anything (legal hehehe) in order to make money. Sometimes, it makes me mad because I have a degree but it is just so hard to find job now in this tough economy. Earning online is very popular now a days so I tried my luck joining these people who find their way to earn in the comfort of their homes.

What I did? I searched on the web of ways to earn online. The good thing is that people shared their reviews on certain sites they were engaged in, they give their positive and negative insights. My principle is, I will not join a site unless I know that it is 100 percent legit. I want to see the proof if they really are paying. It is not a smart idea to spend time thinking, researching of what to write and then it's not worth the time you put in. I have a long list of sites to check until I found several legit ones.

There was a site which caught my interest. I am so curious to know how this site will help me find something to spend my precious time. When I go to the site, there was a list of all work from home jobs that anybody can apply if they think they are qualified. As I see it, there's no way I can qualify from all those jobs posted, that's what I thought. Well, since I have been writing to different websites, I might try freelance writing job. Would I qualify for this? I asked myself.
Well, there's no harm in trying. When I click the freelance writing job, I was directed to a site familiar to me because I keep on hearing this from other writers but I did not pay attention to this. The first thing I do was to read the FAQ. I was bored again but I tried to control my boredom because I am serious of making money. I really need it. Well, I find it interesting but I still not convince to sign up. I search in Google the reviews about the site. Wow!! lots of positive things I learned from the site. I finally joined and glad I was accepted and now I am writing to some clients.

Working in this site is enjoyable and challenging too. Your are paid according to the ratings you will receive from the editors and from the clients. The good thing is they will accept writers though you are not a native English speaker. I was confident to join because of that. haha!! What I like is that, your pay is deposited right away to your pay pal account as soon as the client accept your writing assignment. Cool stuff!! I like to see my earnings grow every time I submit my assignment. The interesting part is that writing assignment is not limited. You can write as many assignments as you can do everyday. They will not give you specific assignment, you can select in different categories you are interested in. That's cool.

What inspired me in this site is that, its' easy to reach pay out. You can request payment when you reach $10 which is very easy to get and they will pay twice a month .Wow!!! You can reach it in few hours of working. Isn't that interesting? But if you are a US resident, you have to submit your W9 for tax info. Very common in legit sites hahaha. I can recommend this site to those who enjoyed writing and love to earn just at the comfort of their home.

But this site is challenging. You are reminded of improving your grammar, punctuation, capitalization, etc. It simply means, improve your writing to avoid rejection and also it will help to raise your rating to get higher pay. When your rate is high, you pay goes with it.
Good luck and see you there.
