Good morning! Actually, it’s Sunday evening as I write this, but that doesn’t matter when it comes to posting the Monday morning leads post. Yesterday, I created a Twitter account for Freelance Writing Jobs and I’m also thinking of creating a Ning as another way for the members of our community to interact. I owe a lot of my career to social networking and interacting online. How do you feel about social networking as a way to build community and network with other writers. Is it working for you?

Keep in mind that with Craigslist the default is for “no pay”. This isn’t necessarily the case. Don’t assume a job doesn’t pay, it may mean the client didn’t write in an amount – and therefor the ad defaulted to “no pay”.
God luck to you!

Using Linked In and Facebook hasn’t necessarily helped my writing career – yet! It is definitely an avenue to create buzz about my services and my writing in general and to build/maintain contacts.
I’m curious to hear what networking tools other writers use to build their career.
Thanks again for the great service Deb!
A note for the Ghost Writer for Ongoing Jobs – you have to be a member to apply for the job.
Thanks for the list.
I use my blog to promote my work. I use Facebook and MySpace to keep in touch with friends.
So far I’ve done just fine without needing to use social networking sites to promote my work. I’m sure it could help if I put the effort into it, but not only am I lazy in that regards, but I’m doing just fine as-is, and I don’t see the need to spend extra time per day worrying about little things like making Twitter notes to update people or using Stumble Upon or things like that. That’s what my blog is for.
Hey Deb, thanks for the list!
Just a note, all three of the Austin location jobs are the same one. They just posted in different venues.
Have a great Monday all!
Nice list again, thanks!
I try to use social networking strategies on a limited basis. Blogging has worked out great for me over the past 5-6 years and is an excellent partner with my writing goals and projects. While I have found value in Twitter and the many bookmarking sites, sometimes I wonder if the time it takes to remain active on them pays off more than it would to use that time to better my blogs or send off another couple of queries. Plus, for me anyway, there is a huge chance of becoming distracted when doing all that twittering about, and pretty soon I wonder where the last hour went.
I also recently signed up for a twitter for my blog. Within 48 hours I had a comment and was being followed by an author who’s book I had reviewed on the blog. It was a total affirmation for the decision to sign up for twitter. Even if I wasn’t meeting people and really enjoying a new level of on-line community I would probably have given twitter a full six months on that one interaction alone!
I recently got three different jobs through a contact on StumbleUpon. We were sending each other pages, discovered that we were both writers . . . I interviewed her for my blog and the next thing I knew, she had a job for me and a couple of friends who needed a writer, as well! Social networking is definitely a good way to go.
Aside from all the great leads I have to say that I love the variety of coffee pictures.
Coffee makes my day. Thanks for all the leads. Have a great week!
Thanks for the great list!
I think FWJ joining Twitter is a great idea. I didn’t know these leads were posted until I saw it on my Twitter feed (since you can only see the last two posts per category on the FWJ home page). Thanks again!!!
Twitter’s been amazing for my site, Self-Publishing Review. On a consistent day-to-day basis, it brings in the most traffic, and I’ve networked with some writers that’s leading to bigger and better things. Also got an L.A. Times blog mention based on something listed on Twitter.

I’m usually pretty Twitter savvy, but I can’t seem to find Freelance Writing Gigs on Twitter? Is it under something else? ERRRR. I want to add but am having difficulty.

The CEO of a major company contacted me through Linked In and asked for a proposal for new work. He had been reading my posts on Linked In and Twitter for several months and liked what he saw. Don’t give up on social media. I don’t have the work yet, but the proposal is in his hands, and I would never have met this person or known about the work had it not been for social media.
