Constant Content

Constant Content is a content creation service that connects businesses that need content with freelance writers who produce great content. A space for writers to find new writing opportunities, build relationships with clients, and build their career as a freelancer. There are a couple of hurdles to getting accepted onto this website. There’s a quiz and you need to submit a short writing sample of your writing to get accepted.

The articles you submit are prewritten content. So you pick a topic to write on and then Constant Content markets that copy article is reviewed for publication on the platform. Then large and small or medium-sized businesses will have a chance to buy your content. Writers can also write custom content for individual businesses or clients through the platform.

Once submitted your article/content is vetted by editors who work with you to create the best content. Some content will be rejected and at that point, you can rewrite your writing to then get it accepted into the marketplace.

Word Candy

Be sure to click the link in the title to get to the correct place otherwise you’ll be taken to a game website.

Founded by Tom Ewer. Word Candy is a WordPress only freelance blogging company. They currently have openings for WordPress bloggers who can create quality and useful content on demand. They have a large and growing customer base because most of the internet does run on Word Press. They send you work and you get to decide whether you want to commit to that or any individual project. Simple and easy setup for new writers.

Great Content

Founded in 2011 and now serving over a thousand clients per year they offer the new writer a number of different roles they could fill. All current openings or in Norway and for Norwegian speakers and writers. Those positions are remote and of course, if you know Norwegian fluently this could be your place.

Verblio

Online freelance copywriting content creation marketplace that features no platform fee to join. If you want to do agency work or for small businesses, this may be the place to start your freelance career. Verblio is based in Denver Colorado but of course, remote work is encouraged and supported by this platform.

This is for those with advanced degrees especially. Only 4% who apply get accepted to write for Verblio. 26% have a master’s degree, but a large number of their writers have been with them for over three years. That means the company culture and workplace are very stable.

The Writer Finder

Freelance writing group for blog writers and SEO perfectionists. They bill themselves as one of the top SEO agencies and part of their selling point to new writers is you will learn a lot about SEO through working with them. The projects are not just $50.00 blog posts. They claim to pay better than that for good writing — which is a plus. Many of my potential clients think a blog post should be just $50 bucks.

WriterBay

Offering ‘competitive salary’ and twice monthly payments this is WriterBay. Pass a grammar test and upload a resume/cover letter and a writing sample and you are on your way to being a paid writer on WriterBay. They also offer a referral program for recruiting new and additional writers into their system.

Writer Access

This looks an awful lot like Fiverr or Upwork in my opinion. I have not used this particular site yet. I am already on several content sites currently anyways. There is a chatbot that can help you with basic questions and that can get you started.

When you apply to produce a particular piece of content your application is hand-vetted to ensure that you are capable of producing a high quality written assignment for the customer/client. This keeps newer writers from climbing the wrong tree for content creation.

Well, I hope you have enjoyed this list. Good luck finding the right place for your writing skills in the future.

Cheers
