On Mondays I usually post a list of freelance blogging jobs here. Today though I found myself somewhat disgusted by the blogging jobs I found. Based on those ads and their requirements, I wanted to offer a few tips for those considering hiring freelance writers. Here’s what you should not do in your job ads [...]
If, like me, you run one or more Wordpress blogs you want to hold off a bit before upgrading to version 2.8 (if you haven’t already).
I upgraded some of mine only to find the same repeated problem: the visual editor wouldn’t work correctly. The buttons disappeared, the text was whited out, and you couldn’t work [...]
When I setup the Query-Free Freelancer blog, I needed it to operate as a free membership site (to control access to the members-only downloads) while also operating a member newsletter.

This is in response to Kevin Muldoon’s post, Bloggers Need to be Realistic About Blogging Rates, which I found through Deb Ng’s post here.

Yikes. Can you believe there are still people out there who think “Web content writing” is nothing more than the garbage $5 and under gigs involving poor English and rehashed articles? I guess I thought we were beyond that, but I came across a post somewhere earlier today (can’t remember what it was I was [...]

Many freelancers already work in nonfiction, and some have even [...]
Today we kick off our new series exploring various types of writing freelancers may have an interest in pursuing. Evan Marshall, creator of the Marshall Plan for Novel Writing and the Marshall Plan Software and author of two mystery novel series and several nonfiction books, is our guest.
