I am currently on GAF and I am disgusted by the amount people expect us to work for while at the same time expecting amazing writing. It's been a struggle for me to find some honest clients who want to pay me what I am worth. Maybe these other sites will allow me to find more clients and I will be able to work full time.

Some are pickier than others, and some just put articles online without reviewing them at all. This can be good and bad (bad when it allows articles with lots of mistakes to be published, in my opinion, but also bad when they are so picky they catch errors 99% of people wouldn't see as an error, such as some obscure comma rule). Don't give up, just try other sites, if you are turned off by one of them. Each article site has different standards and a different approval process.

I wanna suggest mymuto.com as a site that people should check out for writing gigs and every other type of gig actually. I've personally completed around then projects on the site in the past couple of months, and all of them have went smooth. Bidding is simple, and your profile is highly customizeable. One cool feature that I've recently looked into is that you can create or join a "team" on the site. The team itself can bid on gigs which is like a consulting company without any legal hassle. Oh yeah, the best part is that all bidding, winning, AND posting is FREE. Other sites I've tried always have a bunch of fees so this was refreshing. I recommend checking it out http://www.mymuto.com Monika, I love reading your blog!

The aim is of course to provide a comprehensive resource for new freelance writers to help them get established in business. I look forward to seeing you around and if you ever get stuck, let me know. I'm happy to help where I can. @ Joni: Always at your service. :) I’m glad you love what you see as this site is a manual love of labor between myself and a couple of staff writers as well as some guest bloggers I’ve had in the past.

I'm so happy I accidently happened upon it. I was actually looking for freelancers' websites as examples on which to fashion my own. Instead, I found a wealth of info on where to find some potential writing gigs. After 20 years in the corporate world, with plenty of writing experience included, I am looking for a way to gain some writing credibility quickly. Your website recommendations and those of your readers sound like a great start. Thanks and keep up the great work! Joni Monica,

Thank you so much for all the great feedback you've given me. You know, you are right, I am so busy I often damn my blog to hell and back (no kidding) but then comes along a comment like yours and the world is set right again in my head. I really appreciate what you said. Knowing I helped yet another person makes my day - any day. :) @ Lorraine: Wow! Thank you so much for all the great feedback you’ve given me.
