An Expert Guide On How To Get Part-Time Remote Writing Jobs


Whether you are a stay-at-home mom, a student, a retired person, or anyone else looking for part-time remote writing opportunities, you may find the following guide useful in order to develop your career.

  • Finding clients from around the world on freelance websites
  • In order to develop a career as a writer, you first need to find clients to write for. Thankfully, the Internet has made it easy to find clients from all around the world, particularly through the use of freelance websites. Essentially, these websites act as a huge marketplace where clients and writers can come together with a range of writing opportunities.

  • Finding clients privately through the Internet
  • Of course, not all writers will necessarily choose to use freelance websites in order to find clients. In fact, some of the jobs that you will find on these websites do not necessarily pay a great deal of money and, therefore, many writers will prefer to try and source clients privately. In order to do this, you may wish to research various companies or individuals, so as to see whether they have any possible writing requirements that you could help with.

  • Communicating with your clients
  • In order to maximize your chances of getting work, it can be a good idea to maintain good communication with any clients. In fact, as well as communicating with them successfully in the build up to being awarded jobs, you should also communicate as often as necessary during the actual writing process. Furthermore, once the job is complete, if you stay in touch with a client then you might find that they are able to offer you repeat work.

  • Writing good-quality proposals
  • In order to maximize your chances of winning work, you should write good-quality proposals for any jobs that you are applying to. A good-quality proposal should indicate that you understand the requirements of the work, and should also outline how you intend to meet these requirements. For example, it can be a good idea to highlight any specific instructions that the client may have included within a job description. This helps to demonstrate that you have read and understood a job description, and will be able to get the work done to a high standard.

Alternatively, if there is no job description, particularly when applied work privately, then you should demonstrate that you understand the business or industry that the client is involved with, and that you will be able to help them.
