Looking for paid writing jobs online?

I am 20 years old and looking for paid writing jobs where I can write and send in my work. I am working on my BA English currently with background in Theological studies. My specialty is in creative writing including short stories, poetry, and longer fiction but I am fully capable of many other types of nonfiction, constructive reviews, and editing.
Looking for paid writing jobs online?
I hate to say it, but perhaps you need to start practicing saying, "Do you want fries with that?"





The paying market for creative writing online is almost zip.





The paying market for nonfiction is poor. Articles that I earned $125 for 20 years ago would probably bring $5 online today. In fact, a business group to which I belong expects to pay about $5 for a researched 500-word article, fully optimized for search engines. Globalization puts you in competition with people all over the world for whom $5 is real money.





You can try the usual freelance websites:

A quicker route is probably to go through your college placement center, and push your profs for leads. While I was in college, I did a lot of press releases for PhD candidates who were spinning off books from their dissertations.





Try putting ads on Craigs list, posting notices on grocery store bulletin boards, and such.





Religious publishing houses might have some freelance work, but my experience is that most want people on site for editing work. Religious publishers don't seem to have much faith in employees they can't see!





The real work of writing is marketing. If you aren't willing to do that, you will make more money under the golden arches than writing.





Good luck,





Linda

Reply:You will be hard pressed to find online markets that pay for creative writing. You can google "freelance writer" or "freelance editor," and depending on your experience, (which isn't much, comparatively speaking), connect with people who are looking for editorial services.





I'm a freelance writer/editor with nearly 20 years experience and I can tell you it's a jungle out there. People don't want quality; they want cheap. You will never get any kind of response from most of the work you bid on. It's frustrating.





Check Craig's List in your area for many good examples of what I'm talking about.
Reply:Prudent people, under-18 or not, all over the world, avoid tempting and irresistible money making offers on Yahoo and elsewhere on the Internet. More than 99.9% of such offers are nothing more fraudulent crimes and scams against consumers who are often unpaid; pay extortionate bank charges for bounced cheques/checks; earn/endure criminal convictions/record, and earn custodial sentences. It is just a little legal disclaimer from tyneham to help protect online consumers all over the world. This tyneham alert is in compliance with Yahoo community guidelines and terms of service. It may be tested by vested financial interests in UK courts with full publishing and broadcasting news reports. This ethical honest tyneham alert may not be the best answer for planted questions, but in fact it has been voted/chosen as the “best answer” by prudent and law-abiding askers, voters.

Reply:There's a website called http://genuinejobs.com/ for people who are looking for online jobs. I've seen some Ads on there for writing jobs.





I have personally never used to website to find a job but I learned of the website in a magazine for the disabled that had a list of websites that were supposedly good for online jobs. ( hopefully that makes sense)





Good luck
