How can I find freelance writing jobs?


How can I find freelance writing jobs?
I've done a search and all these websites come up but I don't know which of them are real or not. Does anyone know some specific websites where I can find freelance writing jobs?

Freelance marketplace websites like Elance and Guru give you the opportunity to bid for jobs placed by clients. You first have to register with the site and establish an online profile including your resume and some writing clips. Craigslist has a "gigs" section that lists freelance jobs.

There are many types of freelance writing jobs available online. A lot of these are just scams, but there are some that genuinely pay for written content. Generally, freelance writing jobs can be broken down into the following: (1) Bidding sites like Elance, Odesk, LimeExchange and Freelancer where you place bid on posted projects. Prices for writing jobs vary, some are as low as $0.25/100 words while some pay a handsome $200/100 words. You have to build your credentials and portfolio on these sites to be able to get the more rewarding jobs. (2) Residual content submission sites like Triond and Helium that pay writers part of the ad revenues generate by their written content. You get just pennies here, like $1-$5 per 1,000 page views, but if you have good SEO sense and can write 10 articles (*gasp*) a day you can make good money here
