writing, on the other hand, will require a
different approach. If you are trying to sell
an article without a prior commission, you
will need to research your target publication
or market.
It's important to ensure that the article
you write would 'fit' with the style, type
and subject matter of the publication's other
pieces. The article will need to be something
that the editor would want to publish, possibly
related to some current hot topic or significant
anniversary coming up.If you have received
a commission for work, this should specify
the subject matter, the length and some indication
of the required style for the publication
that has commissioned the work. An excellent
resource, well worth perusing regularly, is
online-writing-jobs.com which has a comprehensive
list of job postings that you can look through.Freelance
Contract Sites A booming type of site is the
direct contact/contract site. These sites
started out as a means of sourcing cost-effective
software coding but now carry all types of
work including content writing for websites
and editing or proofreading contracts. Some
of the most popular ones just now are: Getafreelancer.com,
Rentacoder.com, Guru.com and Elance.com.
You will notice that there is stiff competition
on these sites especially from Asia and the
Indian subcontinent where the prices quoted
can be much lower than those of equivalent
specialists in North America or Western Europe.
They are well worth watching though, as new
projects are posted every day and the demand
for native English speaking writers is very
high.About the AuthorPaul Docherty has over
