With thousands of so-called “job opportunities” on the internet its very hard to tell fact from fiction and to distinguish between real opportunities and mere scams. Finding a reliable, legit and worthwhile job opportunity online is not easy. While there are many people earning full time incomes working part time, its all about finding something that works for you and sticking to it.

Freelance writing is probably one of the best ways to earn money online. Its quick, its easy and you don’t need any special skills or qualifications. There is currently a huge demand for online writers – especially for English speaking writers who can write well. Many companies are exploiting this fact by employing writers for cut throat prices and then selling the services on to employers who pay top dollar. Many of them pay you $2 per 400 word article while they earn anything from $8 to $12 an article. In my opinion this is a scam although its not illegal.

The real secret to making money writing online is to find the work. If you can find high paying clients, build a relationship with them and get return projects from them you can earn a really good living from just 3 or 4 clients. I currently have 5 clients that I do writing work for on a continuous basis and I earn more than most people do working a full time job.

The real writing jobs scam reports are bogus in my opinion. They don’t offer you direct employment. All they do is to act as a middleman to put you in touch with real employers that will pay you directly. While there is an upfront fee the fact that you will earn 100% more working directly for employers means its so worth it. I covered the entire fee just from my first job. Don’t let those “haters” but you off. You can make a great living working as a freelance writer. All you need to do is to find the right jobs and Real Writing Jobs can help you do that. Even if it doesn’t work out for you, just take them up on their refund policy!

There are quite literally thousands of people who employ writers on a daily basis to write anything from novels to transcripts to screenplays and even write emails for them.

By doing online writing jobs you can have complete flexibility in terms of your work hours. The vast majority of your work will be with online publications and much of it will be from international clients. All webmasters have a constant need for fresh content for their websites and as a freelance writer you will work with website owners and webmasters to create this content. You can also work on eBooks, reports and even writing scripts for online video and audio.

All part time work for writers is not online though. A growing number of “real” companies are turning to freelance writers to fulfill the needs that would otherwise be met by a permanent staff member. The flexibility and the advantages of not having to employ someone permanently means that it makes a lot of sense financially and these companies often pay quite well. Building relationships with these types of employers means that you can have a number of employers that use you periodically and after a few months you can have a strong employer base that can provide you with a lot of work for a long time.

Much the savings that companies have of net employing someone full time gets passed on to you as the writer. Some part time writing jobs pay as much as $100 for a 500 word article. If you have any specialized knowledge you can earn even more and writing only a few of these articles a week can quickly add up to a great income that can top even a good full time salary.
