19+ Places to Find Freelance Writing Clients (That Aren’t Upwork or Fiverr)

I was fumbling around Twitter the other day and I found this thread about the best places to find freelance writing clients.

It inspired me to create this article which has some of those suggestions and many of my own.

Here’s the thread if you want to check it out…

If you’re trying to up your client load, you’ll want to tune in here.

I remember how it challenging it was for me to get writing clients when I first started freelance writing, for some reason. I had no problem finding clients for social media management but for writing work, it was tough.

I’ve come to favorite many of these places on the list as go-to’s whenever I’m trying to add to my client list. Here they are…

Places to find freelance writing work online

1. Problogger

This is probably the #1 place I head to when I’m looking for writing clients. It’s a job board just for writers. I’ve gotten the most writing clients and leads from this site.

You just visit Problogger and look through the writer job openings. Each job listing will have instructions for you to follow to apply.

2. Mediabistro

Mediabistro offers job listings for writers, proofreaders, graphic designers, social media managers, and more.

You can click the Copywriter Jobs category and start browsing the available jobs.

3. LinkedIn

Visit LinkedIn Jobs to find writing jobs or do networking on the platform to connect with potential clients.

4. Glassdoor

Go to Glassdoor Jobs and find writing jobs hiring. You can also review salaries, company information and insights, and more.

5. WeWorkRemotely

WeWorkRemotely is a remote job board. They have writing jobs as well as jobs for other career categories like customer service, sales, marketing, etc.

6. Remote

Remote is another remote job board. Go to the Writing category to check out the job listings.

7. Referrals

Word-of-mouth referrals were shared as a source of clients quite a bit in the Twitter thread. So, if you have past writing clients, they may refer you to their friends.

8. Slack communities

This is a new one I didn’t know about: the Slack communities joinPF and superpathco.

9. Reddit

On Reddit there’s a Hire a Writer subreddit. There’s also writersforhire and probably a few more subreddits for finding writing jobs.

10. Twitter

Perusing Twitter threads which is how I found inspiration to write this article. You can network with others online and find job listings that are shared on Twitter.

11. Cold email

Cold email pitching can be pretty effective, believe it or not. I do this often with my sponsorship clients. Find clients you want to work with and email them to ask about opportunities.

12. Starter Story

I have used Starter Story to find writing clients. One of which has earned me $5K+ so far.

I made a 50X ROI on a $100/Yr Subscription— Here’s how

I love reading entrepreneur interviews.

medium.com

Starter Story is a collection of entrepreneur interviews.

The entrepreneur shares their story of how they founded their business and one of the interview questions is about hiring opportunities. I responded to one and got hired!

13. Buy me a coffee newsletter

I haven’t checked out the newsletter myself but here’s the link if you want to review it.

It looks like this…

14. Your own website (get leads)

If you have a website or personal blog, it can be a source of leads. Just add a page sharing information how to contact you for writing work.

If you want to create your own blog, here’s my free guide which shows you how to build a money-making blog.

15. Medium

I’ve gotten hired through clients finding me on Medium.

Not for writing but, for other things.

And, I’ve been approached for writing gigs through my Medium profile. I know other writers that did snag new writing opportunities because of their Medium account.

Medium is a great place to build an online network.

It’s an awesome place to show off your writing skills and you can even monetize it through the Medium Partner Program and other ways.

Medium is a money grab — But, most writers aren’t doing it right

I get the feeling that a lot of writers here on Medium are really tightly focused on Medium’s Partner Program (MPP)…

medium.com

16. This ebook (it’s free)

This free ebook shares 74 ways to find high-paying clients.

17. Bluelearn app

The Bluelearn app was mentioned. I’ve never tried it.

18. Narrative Gigs

Narrative Gigs on Twitter shares narrative writing opportunities.

19. Facebook groups

This one is hit and miss, according to the Twitter thread. You can either find writing groups filled with writers who share opportunities or go to a group where your clients hang out.

For example, visiting a real estate agent group if your niche is real estate writing.

20. Contra

Contra was mentioned a few times. If you have a Contra account, it looks like you can have your profile displayed on their site as a client-accepting writer.

You can see an example of what it looks like here.

There you go!

Are any of your favorite places to find writing clients on the list?
