Requirements
Making money as a freelance writer is hard, especially when you’re just starting out. Once you’ve established a solid reputation and made a few industry contacts, landing writing gigs will get easier, but in the beginning, you’ll have to put yourself out there and actively pitch to clients and publications.
Pitching is easier said than done. Sometimes, it’s hard to even figure out who’s in the market for your work.
There are plenty of lists of publications that accept articles from freelancers, but these aren’t always up to date. Sometimes, you’ll find that the websites on them have closed their doors to new applicants—and with the recent craze for AI-generated content, it’s anyone’s guess whether the sites that remain will be interested in paying you a fair rate.
To make things easier, we’ve sorted through what’s out there and put together this list of sites that will pay you to write articles (current as of November 2023). To use it, just scan for the type of content you’re most interested in and see if any of the publications appeal to you.
01. Business, finance, and e-commerce
02. parenting, 03. tech and web development, 04. travel and food, 05. lifestyle and entertainment, 06. history and culture, 07. news and current affairs, 08. fiction, poetry and creative writing, 09. children’s magazines, 10. book reviews and summaries, 11. writing and copywriting, 12. science and environment, 13. outdoor interests, 14. women's magazines and feminist publications, 15. employability and coaching, 16. miscellaneous, 17. freelance writing platforms.
If you don’t have any luck submitting to any of the publications listed above—or if none of them interest you—then don’t give up. You can also find freelance writing work on online job boards.
For almost every industry or interest you can imagine, you’ll be able to find at least a few clients who want skilled writers to produce articles about it.
You can look into:
General-purpose freelancing websites
These websites are some of the largest online job boards. They offer gigs in other niches, not just writing (for instance, you can also use them to find proofreading and editing jobs).
- PeoplePerHour
Content writing platforms
There are also several websites that are specifically dedicated to writing jobs:
- Constant Content
- ContentWriters
- ContentGather
- Crowd Content
The downside of these websites is that they’ll generally take a commission from you. In other words, when you land work, they’ll take a cut of your profits.
This means that many experienced writers prefer to avoid them and land work elsewhere. However, in the beginning, they provide a relatively simple and convenient way of landing paid article-writing gigs.
