Hulu is now doing summer movies wherein they post awesome stuff you’d normally have to pay to see. For my TV fans out there–and you know who you are–fire up the computer and grab a tub of popcorn. Maybe run a video out cable to the TV if you’re unfortunate enough to have a teensy laptop. How’s everyone enduring the heat?

The Freelance Writing Jobs

1. Technical writers – if you don’t know much about science or chemistry, you’d best skip this one. It’s heavy on the science and light on the fluff content. You’d be compensated well for your specific knowledge, but be sure you have some. This freelance writing job pays $250 per article.
2. Investigative reporter – a father’s rights advocacy group is looking for a reporter who can work on a contract basis. You need to be comfy with confidentiality. Your work will be plastered throughout the web. This freelance writing job pays $250 per article per assignment.
3. Medical script writer – in addition to writing good scripts, you need to have an impressive medical background. If that sounds like you, then you’d be ideal for this job. I get the impression that the medical part’s more important than the experience writing scripts part, but that’s something I’ll leave up to you. This freelance writing job pays $1,000 per script.
4. Business writer – you wouldn’t be doing a business plan, but you would be writing about business. Is that something you’d be fine with? Hit this gig up in a hurry. This freelance writing job pays $.10 per word.
5. Market: Sinn & Skinn – this is technically a market, although it is not one we have yet listed here on AFW. Sinn & Skinn is an adult community dedicated to providing sexual and provocative content. You would not be writing erotica but rather discussing aspects of sex, sexuality, and dating. The ideal submission is 750 – 1,500 words. This freelance market pays $100 – $250 per submission.

Freelance Job Writing Tip of the Week

Maybe you’re not a collaborator, but I’ve become one. I know I’ve done enough barking in the job tips on reaching out to people but I can’t stress it enough. Since having reached out to other writers, my work has grown by leaps and bounds. Not only have I found more work, but I’ve gotten better. I relaunched my website because it was woefully inadequate compared to others’ (well, and it still ain’t great, but I blame that on other factors now), and I met a ton of great people in the process. If you don’t have at least one or two regular partners in crime, get them. They are vital for your business.

Worst Freelance Writing Job of the Week

Ok, finding writers has been harder than I thought, so I’m reposting. If you have problems with doing research or doing academic essays, then please don’t apply.

We’re looking for Professional Freelance Writers. However, we are a new company, and cannot afford to pay outragsous salaries, and we don’t have the money some have to dish out. We can afford to pay $300 per article or project. Writers must be business professionals are knowledgable of business process, and the business world. We need specialist in accounting, business, economics, marketing and management. If you have the experience, or the skills needed, then please apply. If not then please don’t! Base pay is not negotiable. It’s $300 per article and nothing more!

The pay ain’t bad, so why am I posting this job? Well, it’s quite simple. Read all the attitude. Would you date someone who posted a dating profile that was this snotty and rude? I think not. Then why would you waste your time working for someone who talks to you like a jerk? If you’re looking to be paid an outragsous salary (namely, one you can live on) then you might want to look elsewhere. And with good reason.
