The first on the list, where most freelancers should go is Odesk.com. Odesk is a website that is not only for freelance writers but it sure is the best way to start. Here you can sign up for free, then you can take some tests to make yourself known with high scores. After that, you can start to bid on works. The good thing about Odesk is that there are basically a lot of clients that is ok to work with newbie writers. Sure you will be paid less but it is the perfect stepping stone. Once you already got the hang of it you can then try writing your own blog posts then get paid.

Writing your own blog posts and getting paid seems to be a dream job. Now if you want to try this after getting some exposure on freelance writing for clients then you can immediately start doing so by making a blog in Blogger.com. Blogger.com is one of the biggest blog networks that is free and offers revenue potential for writers. If you are asking how then it is simple: it is by ads. Advertisements can be put on your blog using Google AdSense (once you have a dozen couple of posts that’s generates decent traffic). Then you will get a share based on the ads revenue, if it’s a cost per sale then you get a share if a viewer clicks on the ads then buy the product. There are also other actions such as cost per click and the others.
