Writing for Money

How many of you write for money? I don't mean here. I mean through some sort of writing service for clients. I have a lot of resources that I could share as far as job boards and other job opportunities for freelance writers. Currently, I have enough to keep me busy but I wouldn't mind sharing opportunities to help others who need it. However, unless I am missing it, I do not see a way to add a link here? I can add the URL but it will not link. So, if there is some trick I am overlooking, please let me know! I wish the best of luck to everyone with their freelance writing journey!

I dont know Janet. I often add a link in my discussions just by typing it in. I am not sure what the problem would be, maybe i am missing something. Strange it will not link up.. I know in your profile you can put a link to a website.

@jahunt Okay I just had a flash..I just tried it myself..I think if you put the link...and then make your post, and then refresh the page a few times, you may see it has linked. I have had to do that before Janet.

@TiarasOceanView Cool! Great. I wasn't sure why it didn't work. I was think that I probably did something wrong which is highly likely! LOL!

I dont believe you can post a referral link if that is what you are aiming to do. But if theres no referral bonus you can just type out the URL or start a discussion about your favorite site. I recently started one and Im surprised at how sort of quick it is to earn!

Oh no, it is not a referral link. It is nothing that I am personally involved in, just writing resources I wanted to share with others. I may just write a post on a few sites I know about without the URLs. Thanks!

I've never tried writing for clients. I prefer writing here or for my blog so that I don't lose rights to what I've written.

That is a good point. Some places allow you to retain the rights to your content and some do not.

I would love to. I do write for Hub Pages. A fellow Twitter friend mentioned Upboard. But I haven't checked it out yet.

Hi Kristen! There are lots of job boards for freelance writers online. I was going to share some here but I can't figure out a way to link the pages.

@jahunt Janet, you can add an image and post the link there. You can add the link here in this comment box. I've done it in the past. Thanks for the links!

I have less of a clue than you do, lol. Maybe you have to embed it?

You can add a link - but not if it's a referral link. Just type link in your discussion I don't know if you can post more than one link or not. Just list the name and let them figure it out! It used to be no either link or photo but not both, but I think they changed that.

I've had a lot published in print magazines and newspapers but lately it's been tough going. I've been thinking about looking for the opportunities like you mention here.

I like writing on movies, music, arts , sports but I haven't written anything seriously or paid writing like that. It would be great if you can share with me anything that add could more to my portfolio. If you want , you can message me too.
