Have any of you gotten freelance article writing jobs for online content?

Or have any of you gotten freelance jobs just using online sources? If so, share the process.

Have any of you used Demand Studios, etc. just to start out?

1. I did--editing, actually

I edited a novel for a very sweet man (terrible book, though--self published). I bid on the job. I think I got it through GenuineJobs.com, but I'm not positive--I've got a long list of sites I used to visit regularly before getting the semi-regular gig I have now.

I also used to get a fair amount of interest on other bids I placed. Some weird stuff out there--it takes a lot of time to sift through the "spam-writing" jobs and find the good stuff, but when you do find a good one, it's like digging up a gold nugget.

I've actually gotten more jobs through my Web site--people approaching me cold--but those were people looking for local writers.

2. Yes!

Sorry I didn't see this thread earlier. I write for Demand Studios. I highly recommend them. They pay twice a week, are very prompt and are a professional company. There are writers there who make a living doing it.

I applied at Demand Studios through their website and was hired. I had to set up a Paypal account to get paid. You get to choose from writing jobs on a variety of topics. They have writing guidelines based on the type of article you write.

It's really great.
