Everyone has heard about freelance writing, but have you heard about freelance blogging? There seems to be a very fine line between the two, but please don’t get them confused. Whereas in freelance writing you are assigned content to write about, freelance blogging is a bit more flexible. When it comes to freelance blogging, you speak from your own point of view about your expertise, yourself, your opinions, etc. Freelance blogging allows the writer to show off his or her expertise on a topic. What’s the key way of remembering the difference between freelance writing and freelance blogging? In the words of Ploymint’s own Assistant Editor-in-Chief Amanda Mester, “all blogging is writing, but not all writing is not blogging.” Here are ten freelance blogging sites that can help you score new gigs.

ProBlogger
It says it all in the name, doesn’t it? Here companies can post freelance blogging openings they may have. Whether you’re an expert in language, health, fundraising or more, there’s bound to be a freelance blogging opportunity for you! Both one-time blogging positions as well as ongoing blogging positions are posted here.

Freelance Writing
This platform hosts both blogging opportunities and writing opportunities. Companies post what types of writers they are looking for, and people can apply to the positions. Well-known organizations such as Booking.com, as well as up and coming blogs such as LIVE WORK TRAIN post openings here.

Be a Freelance Blogger
What better place to look for freelance blogging gigs than from an entire blog dedicated to how to become a freelance blogger? Those in need of freelance bloggers choose to post openings to this community forum as they know anyone on this website is serious in becoming a freelance blogger; I mean why else would you be on a blog about freelance blogger if not to sharpen your skill set?

Blogging Pro
Not to be confused with ProBlogger, Blogging Pro does the job searching so you don’t have to. Simply type keywords into the search engine, or filter by category based on your area of expertise. All applicable blogging opportunities available to you in that field will then be shown. Easy peasy!

Freelancer
Freelancer is your source for all writing jobs, including freelance blogging. On their page entirely dedicated to blog jobs, it states, “Are you a blogger? You could be earning money working on these jobs!” Enticing, right?

Blogger Jobs.Biz
BloggerJobs.Biz allows you to find freelance, full-time, part-time, internship, remote, and temporary writing positions. Both blogging positions and writing positions are found on this website.

Paid to Blog Jobs
Unfortunately, unlike the rest of these sites, this website requires you to become a member (yes, with fees) to use its resources, however that’s how you know it’s legit. Here the team goes through blog openings for you and shares only the highest quality freelance blogging opportunities. You gotta spend money to make money, right?

Craigslist
Yes, I cringe at that name too, but it’s true; people post freelance blogging opportunities on here as well. Of course be careful, and yes, a 1,000-word blog post that says it pays $1,000 is too good to be true, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t legitimate freelance blogging opportunities on here as well. Professional freelance

Google
Yup, life’s motto, just Google it. Now how can we utilize Google to find freelance blogging opportunities? For example, if your expertise is fashion simply Google “fashion freelance blogging opportunities” and see what pops up. Play around with the keywords, and you may find more than you thought.

Job Posting Websites Such as Indeed and Simply Hired
That’s right, not only are these websites great for looking at full-time positions, but companies are also posting their blogging opportunities there as well. It’s a one-stop shop!

If you are planning on entering into the world of freelance blogging rather than simply freelance writing, these places are a great start. I additionally highly recommended starting your own blog, with a focus, so you can have your own platform to show off your expertise and use to network with other blogs. Additionally, people may be so impressed by your personal blog that they’ll contact you directly about guest blogging for them. The Internet is very powerful – you never know what can happen!
