So I got on here and found a bunch of freelance writing sites. I started looking and found a few. And I've sold a few things on Associated Content. I know I write ok but I have to say that after getting paid more than I thought I would for two articles, I have to be better than I give myself credit for. I don't say this to be cocky but it's a breakthrough for me because I won't be thinking that I can't do a job anymore because I have bad writing skills.

One of the articles I did the pay was between $20-30. I got paid $25. I was thrilled and shocked. The other was one that said would pay $1-2. yes that's low but at the time I had no other writing offers coming back so I took it. When I was given the assignment I was told it would be $4.50. After I wrote the first draft, the lady sent it back to me to be revised and said she would pay good for the article. I finished it and got paid $7. Now that's nowhere near $25 but it's much better than $1-2. So obviously I write pretty well. She even gave me two more assignments to do instead of one.

So my advice is write for someone and know you probably are better than you think. And if they pay you more than the minimum (when there's a range) or higher than they orginally say, you have to be a pretty decent writing.

Have faith in yourself and your skills.
