There are a few writing companies that I found that are looking for freelance writers to submit and contribute your content for their readers. Most of these jobs do not require you to have any previous writing experience. For those companies that do require you to have some experience, make sure that you can meet or qualify for the job based on the company’s guidelines for writers. Each company is different and has different requirements.
If you feel that you are an expert on raising children or the Internet, for example, than you could write articles and contribute blog posts to companies that need content on this particular topic or other topics that you feel comfortable writing about. As with any job or assignment, it is important that you read all the guidelines before you apply or submit your content. You want to be sure that you can commit the time or work the hours specified by each individual company and that you will be compensated accordingly for the amount of time that you spend on your writing. This will also include researching for your material, if this applies to your particular assignment.
If you have applied to a company and have not heard back within a couple of weeks, you could send them an email to inquire about the position you applied for and where they are in the application process, unless they specify online that they do not want you to contact them or if they explain that this process will take a few weeks but you will get a response. If that is the case, and you still don’t hear a response in the time allowed, feel free to proceed with your inquiry.
