Websites for new freelance writers to earn
Are you a new freelance writer just starting out and don't know where to find work?If yes, then continue reading to discover different ways you can use to start earning.
There are so many websites online where you can get paid to write, regardless of whether you are a professional or a novice writer. In this article, I will focus only on those that easier to join. I have classified them under 2 categories - biding and non - biding sites.
Non biding sites.
Text broker
This is a content mill and is a very renowned freelance website specifically for freelance writers (of different skill levels)
Becoming a member here is very simple. You sign up for free and submit an article as a sample.
Textbroker then uses the article to evaluate and decide on your level of writing.
Tip: Make sure that you do your best when writing the sample article since your earnings will depend on how your article is rated.
Textbroker has different levels, starting from level 2 through 3 to level 5. with evel 2 being the lowest and level 5 the highest.
Payment is done through pay pal and the minimum amount required for you to cash out is only $10
iwriter.
This is another content mill just like text broker but the criteria for becoming a member is different. Instead of submitting a sample of your writing, you will have to take a simple grammar quiz. So just make sure to be careful and do your best, because there is no second chance to take the test.
Just like text broker, there are also different memberships here.However, all new writers start out from the lowest level before moving up the ladder, regardless of your writing proficiency. The three main levels are;
-Standard writers
-Premium writers
-Elite writers
Payment here is also done via pay pal but the minimum amount required to withdraw is $20.
Fiverr.
Unlike the other previously mentioned sites, Fiverr does not only offer writing services but rather a variety of services. There is also no taking of a text or submission of a sample of writing or what so ever.
After signing up for free, you will need t completely your profile and create your writing gig. Any service offered on Fiverr is referred to as a gig.
the good thing about this site is that you can offer whatever you think will be of value to others, be it to businesses, families, or individual lives.
As a new member, you are allowed to create up to 7 gigs, with two gig extras and a custom gig.
Tip; Google the phrase - how to create a Fiverr gig and carefully follow the instructions provided to you, to make sure that your gig is optimized for ranking.

The key to becoming independent online.
Having the freedom to work from the comfort of your home is definitely something worth being obsessed of, given the so many advantages that online work offers. For example, the freedom to travel whenever you want, visit whoever you like, decide your own working hours, choose whatever type of work is most convenient for you, and so on.
your key considerations!
Determination, focus, and persistence are key qualities that anyone dreaming of making a living from the internet should definitely possess. This holds true for whatever discipline you are going to find yourself in, because apart from following recommendations from the gurus, there is also going to be a great deal of testing on your part.
Here is a simple guide for you to follow to become successful online
1. Decide what exactly you want to do.
2.Research the demand for it.
3. Determine your money goals
4.What is the maximum duration yo are willing to wait before you start earning?
Now, let's expatiate:
1. Deciding what to do.
This is obviously the first to think about as each and every one of us has unique skills, talents, and interests. After you've figured out all the things that yo are prepared to try out, you will also want to find out which specific area is going to be most financially rewarding.
2. Demand for your service.
Yes, this is very important because if you want to make enough money, you certainly don't want to waste time in a niche with a very small number of customers. the higher the demand for your service, the more money you are going to make, it's that simple.
3.How much do you need?
the amount of money you need is going to determine the number of hours that you need to put in regularly, in order to attain your goals.
4. How long are you prepared to wait before you actually start earning?
Are you currently tight on a budget that you need some quick bugs to make up for bills, or you are much more concerned with the long run? If you want something quick, then freelancing is going to help you but if you are prepared to invest at least a few months before you start earning, then you will probably want to start up your own business, and this will also be the most rewarding if properly done.
