One of the places where I get some freelance writing work is called Demand Studios. They have a ton of writing work available if you are accepted as a writer. The pay varies from $3 to $20 per writing piece with most paying either $7.50 for 150-200 words or $15 for 400-500 words. The editors are picky. You have to do research for these articles and you have to write well. And even when you do those things, you still may get an editor that doesn’t like your work and either rejects it outright or makes you do revisions.

But if you can handle the critiques and can get efficient with your research and writing, you can make decent money. Some people work there full time and make $3000 a month or more. They are also getting ready to offer health insurance to freelancers who’ve average 30 articles a month for the last 3 months. I don’t have details about it yet, but it sounds like a good deal.

They are also hiring Copy Editors and Film Makers at the time of this blog post. But Copy Editors have to have significant professional editing experience. And I think Film Makers do too. If you want to write, you will need some writing samples and a resume. Make sure your resume highlights your writing experience, even if it was just something you did occasionally at your last day job.

There are certainly critics of Demand Studios and many of their complaints are valid. I don’t like everything about them either. But I’m glad to have them available to me for some extra money each month. No job is perfect. But this is not a terrible way to make some cash.
