Hello mobhomeir i was with the same idea of you, get some writing jobs on freelance, and i have exactly the same question as you, but also a new one, since english is not my mother language.. dont you think the first thing is to write in perfect english? i have seen you are from philipina.. wont u think that would be a disadvantage?

Hello mbguantay good day. ip5217 is right. It doesn't make any difference of where you from. What matters most is how you deliver your article. This would include primarily with your grammar, spelling and some other basic thing. One of my friends advise me to practice writing and check it correctly. Sooner we would get what we wanted to be... Thanks my friend for responding... Mobhomeir here...(am a man not a Filina which is a woman)

I'm sorry but I have to disagree. It doesn't follow that if you're in a country whose first language is not English, then you cannot write good articles. There is a big difference between writing and speaking. There are a lot of good writers in Asia, too- not just Philippines. There are a lot of Asian writers who earn residual income.

Hi both for answering, wanted to know your opinion because i thought that, could be interesting to write articles but what happens with english? i know for experience, even though having a good grammar, some things, expresions are different and one cannot make a literal translation because it would be wrong. Anyway, just trying to see what happens. And mobhomeir, i know u are a man, i just said i saw you coming (or living) in Philippina (the country). Thanks!!!

hello daddy! i sign up in that site but like you i don't have any idea on the works they are giving! hehe and don't have any idea as well on how to do it or even start one. maybe its not for me. i think for starters like us, the best that we can do is to work temporarily with our friend's and learn from them...or how they do that. and then who knows, we can also be one of them...like them who's earning big amount monthly...

Yes eloime that was also an advised from one of friends. Keep on practice writing first because as what she said those people there (at Freelancer) who are ahead of us has already high credibility and reputations in writing. There's no way we could compete them instantly. We have to build first our own name and reputation before we can reach what they are right now. Anyway, there's nothing we could not achieve as long as we are just determine to have it. If they know how to do it, why can't we. Thanks for responding... Mobhomeir here...

Personally, I don't think the writing opportunities are worth it on Freelancer.com. The pay, in my view, is too low.

I tried the site some time ago. I was looking for writing opportunities, but I managed to get a proofreading one. The pay wasn't bad at all. Once I did that one project, I quickly moved on as I didn't like the look of what people wanted to pay for writing projects. You could try forums.digitalpoint.com. You can get all kinds of opportunities there. The pay's not fantastic, but I feel it's better and sometimes you can get really good opps that pay really well. You can also try searching through the following: - FreelanceWritingGigs.com - BloggerJobs.biz - jobs.Problogger.com Good luck.
