High Paying Freelance Writing Jobs

Although the ultimate key to the success of a freelance writer is their skill, there are also many tiny key elements to be considered.

Digital Portfolios - Create at least one digital portfolio for yourself as a writer. Some great sites for digital portfolio creation are:

www.foliospaces.com

www.weebly.com

Foliospaces does provide a bit more of a barebones approach, but for all intents and purposes, is a great format for a flat digital portfolio. An example of a Foliospaces Portfolio is here.

Weebly offers a lot more options in customization, but beware, these portfolios may only be best for writers who 'specialize' if there is an appropriately relevant template for it. Otherwise, the portfolio looks more frilly than forward-thinking.

If you consider yourself a professional writer, you must have plenty of knowledge about how to socially network yourself as a writer, as well as your content to the benefit of yourself, and those you work for.

So if you do not know your social influence score, or the importance of scheduled Tweets, you may need a good beginners lesson in social networking.

There are a few things that clients consider when looking for a good freelance writer. Most have enough experience to know that they will get what they pay for. So with changing algorithms requiring the utmost of care be given to any website's content, the value of well formatted, high writing quality content is worth quite a bit to some employers.

In the last year alone, I have found the opportunity to assist an Australian English Academic student create their college final paper, in about 4 hours, for a rewarding payout of $400 dollars.

I've had a famous Las Vegas casino commission me for an 800 word article at the rate of $1225 dollars.

I've written for a company that paid me one single month's wages at the rate of $4792.92 Circa Feb 2011.

The truth is, these are not the jobs you are ever going to find on Odesk, Elance or other Freelance work sites. The reason being is that honestly, the quality of the work there, and the rate of plagiarism, is appalling. So smart clients, and those wiling to pay for what they get, are not going to be found there.

Although I regret that I cannot just show them publicly, I do hope offer a money back promise that says if you can not land one single blog/article job at the rate of 25 USD or more within 1 month using this eBook, you can have your money right back!

I also go out of my way to dedicate my time to budding freelancers who may need additional coaching in the areas of writing, publishing, portfolios, social media marketing, and other vital elements of a freelance writers career. Simply email me at jrlsolutionsbiz@gmail.com anytime!
