Best Ways to Find Freelance Writing Jobs for Moms at Home

This post may contain affiliate links. Read full disclosure.

by RAKI WRIGHT

Writing is a vital skill for the modern world, as someone who can write professionally has many job options to choose from. For example, you can become a copywriter or help students order coursework or essays from a writing service.

More and more moms who decide to stay at home with young children opt for freelance writing jobs. Freelance jobs provide moms with an opportunity to earn money and combine work with motherhood. To make both processes effective, there must be a wise work-life balance. Most moms admit that keeping the balance is the hardest thing. However, today we would speak about the stage where you are only looking for freelance writing job opportunities.

Traditional job boards

One of the best ways to find freelance writing jobs if you are a mom at home is by looking for opportunities at unique boards online. Among the most effective job boards are Monster, LinkedIn Jobs, Indeed, and others. However, these boards suit mostly full-time job offers; many successful cases prove there is an ability to find a freelance job. By registering and adding your CV to a chosen job board online, make sure to add the remark that you are looking for a freelance writing job opportunity.

Freelance job boards

This option is also worth considering; however, the level of competitiveness on freelance job boards is high. Among the pros of opting for freelance boards are a wide choice of orders and the ability to work for your name and portfolio. If you are in the initial stage of your career as a freelance writer, you could get your first orders and valuable contacts. Among the recommended freelance job boards are BloggingPro and FreelanceWriting.

Facebook groups

There are many job opportunities within specialized Facebook groups. Technically such groups work as online freelance job boards. To find such groups on Facebook, you can use the search option by entering particular keywords. An example of an influential Facebook group is Freelance Writers Community (Hiring + Projects.) To apply for a job in a Facebook group, you need to join a chosen group first. Some groups require providing a short bio and your goals of joining a group. After joining, you would require following the group instructions. To apply for a particular writing job, read the post patiently and follow the requirements.

Joining a team of a well-known freelancer

Joining a team of more recognized freelance writers could become an excellent opportunity for a mom at home. You would not require promoting yourself by investing money in advertising, working on your portfolio, etc. Instead, you could focus on work delegated to you by the supervisor and regularly get guaranteed stable income. To find a team of freelancers, you can look at job boards or ask your friends.

Word of mouth and recommendations

By using your network, you would succeed faster. Many moms who are looking for jobs underestimate this method. Your former classmates, friends, and family could become a great source for contacts. You might not see many opportunities that exist around your circle. Each person who is actively networking is in contact with at least five hundred people. By catching up with people you know, you can ask them for recommendations or references.

Web advertising

Suppose you have some experience in freelance writing and want to develop yourself outside of other freelancers, building a name. In that case, you need to think about opportunities for paid advertising on the Internet. You need to make a landing page and fill it out with brief information about yourself. Moreover, you can create a page in social networks to promote yourself as a freelance writer. These activities are free but not as effective as paid advertising. You can calculate how much you should pay for the target and make a simple brief business plan.

Conclusion

Being a working mom at home is not easy. If you need to get a job to earn money remotely while dealing with motherhood, you would require learning how to keep a work-life balance. Speaking about the ways to find a freelance writing job for a mom at home, you need to consider the most effective options first. Among these options are traditional online job boards, freelance job boards, and Facebook groups. Also, word of mouth is a perfect way to find a good job among people you know or close to your circle. If you want to build a career as a freelancer, you can think over the options of creating a landing page and getting paid advertising.
