Preston LeeFreelance writing jobs for beginners are easier to find right now than ever before.
It used to be that if you were looking for freelance writing jobs for beginners you had to hunt through thousands of classified ads, write cold-pitch letters to magazine and newspaper editors, and probably even do some free work to prove your value.
Not anymore.
If you’re a beginner freelance writer looking for clients to make money writing, there have never been more opportunities or great places to find freelance writing gigs than there are now.
Another perk? Most freelance writing jobs for beginners are remote writing jobs allowing you to literally freelance from anywhere in the world. Part time, full time, you get to decide. Gotta love it.
Here are the best sites that post freelance writing jobs for beginners every day.
1. SolidGigs
First on the list of sites that post freelance writing jobs for beginners is SolidGigs. Whether you’re into blogging, copywriting, or social media, you’ll find great writing jobs with SolidGigs.

3. Contena
If you’re looking for a site with freelance writing jobs for beginners plus jobs you can use later on in your freelancing career, then Contena is another site you should look more into.
Contena not only posts great beginner jobs for freelance writers to make money, but also posts some major opportunities too. At the time of posting, the most recent job listing was a $7,000/mo freelance writing job. Incredible!
4. Problogger Job Board
Next on the list is a personal favorite of mine. Why? Because some of my earliest freelance writing jobs I found through this job board.
It doesn’t just feature freelance writing jobs for beginners, so you’ll have to sort through all the listings, but the Problogger Job Board is one of the best—especially if you’re interested in writing for online publications and blogs.
5. Fiverr
I know lots of freelancers who got their start on Fiverr. While sites like Fiverr may not be the best long-term strategy for your freelance career, it’s a great place to find freelance writing jobs for beginners who are new to the game.
It’ll take some time, practice, and promoting yourself to get your first freelance writing clients as a beginner, but since Fiverr is one of the biggest freelance marketplaces in the world, your hard work can really pay off. Learn more about Fiverr here.
6. All Freelance Writing
Next up on our list of sites that post freelance writing jobs for beginners is a brand simply called All Freelance Writing.
AFW offers all kinds of resources for beginning freelance writers, and also posts daily freelance writing jobs which you can then pursue to build your freelance writing portfolio.
7. Publoft
Publoft is the perfect solution for writers who don’t want to deal with the headache of finding clients, managing clients, sending freelancer invoices, and everything else that comes along with running a freelance business.
Publoft finds the clients for you and then works as a “middle man” to broker the deal between client and freelance writer.
Plus, their site promises help for beginning freelance writers too explaining if you “need a little nurturing to be client-ready, we’ll always give you a shot at writing and provide you with helpful feedback to improve your work.’
Honestly, for a freelance writing beginner, that’s pretty awesome. Learn more about Publoft here.
8. Freedom with Writing
The next site we know about that offers freelance writing jobs for beginners is a bit…how do we say it… outdated-looking.
But don’t let the old-school design throw you off: FWW posts some really great freelance writing jobs for beginners and experts alike.
While the next one on our list may not actually be a “website” that offers daily freelance writing jobs for beginners, it’s still definitely worth mentioning.
The Morning Coffee Newsletter is among the best sent-to-you email lists of freelance writing jobs that we’re aware of. They’ve been sending the newsletter since 1998, so it’s safe to say they know a thing or two about freelance writers.
10. Freelance Writing Jobs
This next site definitely doesn’t win any awards for creativity when it comes to their name, but it’s straightforward. With Freelance Writing Jobs you know exactly what you’re getting.
FWJ posts a new writing job list nearly every day with freelance writing jobs for beginners and more. Definitely worth checking out.
11. We Work Remotely
If you’re particularly interested in freelance writing jobs for beginners because you want to build a career that doesn’t tether you to one particular location, then We Work Remotely is a good option for you!
They’ve got a robust section of freelance copywriting jobs as well as freelance jobs in all sorts of other categories.
12. Working Nomads
Whether you just want to work in your pajamas from your couch or have an itch to travel the world while you work as a freelance writer, Working Nomads is a great option to add to your list of sites posting freelance writing jobs.
Their “writing” section primarily features freelance writing jobs for beginners or experts in marketing and copywriting.
13. Journalism Jobs
If you’re focused on trying to break into reporting and investigative writing, you may be able to use Journalism Jobs to find some freelance writing jobs for beginners in journalism.
Their site offers a unique angle in a specific niche within freelance writing—one that can offer excitement and fun to your daily writing work. How can you deny a boost in your freelancing life?
14. Upwork
Of course, no list sharing sites that post daily freelance writing jobs for beginners would be complete without mentioning one of the largest (maybe the largest?) freelance marketplace in the world: Upwork.
Upwork brings freelancers and clients together regardless of their skill level or particular needs and every day new clients are posting freelance writing jobs you can bid on and apply for.
I happen to personally know lots of freelancers who started their freelance careers by finding beginner jobs on sites like Upwork. Maybe that’s a good path for you too?
15. Vollna
Vollna is a freelance job site that’s built to be unique. By setting up a job filter specified to your needs, Vollna’s job listings sort through all the top freelance job sites and compile them into one. Created by a fellow freelancer, you get all the latest freelancing jobs posted on freelance platforms such as UpWork, Freelancer, Peopleperhour, etc straight to your inbox or your mobile phone.
