Changes to Freelance Writing Jobs

This item was filed under [ General ]

A few changes were made to the sister freelance writing jobs blog to All Freelance Writing yesterday. A few other changes were made in the past. Here’s a summary to help you navigate the job listings moving forward:

  • The homepage of the jobs blog is the job board. I’m not sure if it will do this for everyone, but for me it shows regional jobs in my area first. You can also search the board for specific types of jobs in any area.
  • You can access the actual job listing posts from any of three links – the “job listings” link in the site’s navigation on top, the “freelance writing jobs” link in the paragraph above the job board, and the “freelance writing jobs” link in the sidebar under “freelance writing job posts.”
  • You can also by-pass the site altogether by using the email subscription form in the sidebar. This will have the job listings sent to you (in full) via email shortly after they’re posted on the site.
  • I’ve implemented an icon-based system for the job posts in response to reader feedback. The icons next to a job post (such as in the most recent post) will tell you if it’s a Web-based gig, blogging gig, or print gig as well as if it’s a link to a bidding site or a site where you need either a free or paid membership to apply. We also have an icon for high-paying gigs to be featured, but that’s something that we’ll probably use scarcely (as most advertised gigs we come across wouldn’t fit that label).
  • I’ve been saying “we” a bit here. That’s because a friend and colleague has offered to help out with the site for a while. If you were following this blog back when it was a part of the Six Figure Challenge (when it was a multi-author blog), you may remember her: Denise Shively. So a big welcome and thank you to Denise! Between both of us we’re hoping to make sure you get new job listings each day Monday – Friday, and I’m going to soon start offering to post individual jobs as well. In addition, I’ll be working on building up our writer’s market database, which has been slim so far over at Writers-Guidelines.com.
  • I’ve removed all sub-categories for posts. All posts have always been found under the main “freelance writing jobs” category. Being that we now have icons to tell you which type of job each is, it was redundant to have each post saved to multiple categories doing exactly the same thing.
  • The site’s theme (template) has been changed to match this one (with some obvious exceptions in the nav bar – you can always link back here to the main blog by clicking the “main blog” link there, and you can always visit that site from here through the “freelance writing jobs” link in this nav bar).

I hope the changes prove to be positive ones – they needed to be done. In the meantime, here’s the key that you’ll find on all job posts moving forward:
