As a writer, you can be sure of one thing - that decent paying freelance writing opportunities are hard to find. Even when you're able to write an article in 5-10 minutes, you won't get wealthy on $1.00 per article. How are you going to really make a decent income with paid freelance writing opportunities? What you are about to find are 6 things that every freelancer should know if he or she wants to "make it big".

1. Write well. If you have a strong portfolio, you will be much more likely to attract the attention of "employers" when you apply for higher paid freelance writing opportunities.
2. Market yourself. It is WELL WORTH the effort or money spent to create an attractive website highlighting your best work. You are selling a service - and the more attractive and professional the service is, the better!
3. Don't fall for job offers from websites that are not legit. Do your homework. You will not be happy to discover that a particular website for whom you worked all week has suddenly disappeared, won't respond to your emails, or simply does not pay you.
4. Remember that time is money. Surfing the internet for good freelance writing opportunities, for research, or for those "high paying" hidden gems, can be the biggest waste of your time!
5. There are many different kinds of writing jobs. Often writers only think about articles, novels and non-fiction as writing that pays, but there are MANY other writing jobs advertised online. Food-writing, short-stories, copy-writing, technical writing... just to name a few.
6. Write what you know. The BEST jobs for you to bid on or accept are on topics about which you already know a lot of information.

Freelance writing opportunities are excellent for the part-time worker or for full-time writers. This career can be both lucrative and exciting, but only IF you can find the highly paid freelance writing gigs. And unfortunately, this is tough to do!

Whether you are looking for good freelance writing opportunities for a full time career for you or simply a way to bring in some extra, much-needed cash, learning about how the to find the high-paying gigs will be well worth the time spent.
