Two days of leads in one. Sometimes life catches up, you know?
FWJ just finished up its most profitable month ever! After two very dismal, disheartening months I decided I need to throw myself into this blog network more, and you know what? It paid off. Just goes to show, if you slack off or take a backseat, it’ll show. Look for more good things. Now that I’m only working part time with my social media job, I’ll be spending a lot more time here! It’s a good lesson for all bloggers – don’t give up and good things will come your way.
Also, if you want to mingle with other members of this community, drop by the FWJ social network on ning. Folks are sharing and discussing. It’s a beautiful thing.

I want to thank everyone who has been sharing their success stories with me (and others) on Twitter. I’m so happy to learn of all your successes!
Good luck!
Nice and long list. Thanks.
Am I the only one who finds this odd? This is in reference top the job post “Copy Editor for Social Media Startup”.
They expect you to be available to them for 40 hours a week, yet the job specifies it is only for 20 hours a week (and may not be a steady flow).
This really isn’t really a usual/normal expectation, right? To me that is saying 20 hours of freelancer’s *time* is worth… nothing.
Congrats on having such a profitable month Deb. Thanks for the leads.
It seem like the craigslist ads are getting trickier, in the way posted ads provide links to poorly rendered sites.
Not that it happens here. However, one I found here, Ray Recruiting I think it was, was very iffy. They sent me an email in which they said all positions had been filled, and then in the next paragraph offered a job, which required reviewing a dating site and a debt management site. Has anyone here gotten this? Is this a scam? It looks like they’re getting free work in an application process.
Re the listing for Journalists and Columnists, what’s up with this:
“The offer of employment will be determined by a public voting system where the top vote receivers will be hired on”
Thanks Deb, that was such a relaxing post. Good leads, too.
pj – The Journalists/Columnists ad leads toward something that smacks of American Idol. I applied and received the instructions. Basically you write something, post it on their website, and get people to vote for your article. I passed on the “opportunity.”
@PJ – Other sites have done that. They simply boost content and I’ve never heard of anyone getting a “job” after posting.
@Emmbee – I’ve actually spoken to administrators for many of the dating sites and sent them links to ads. Every time, I’ve been told that they do not hire freelancers for their sites. With that, any dating site writing job I figure is a scam that people are using to bring in referral fees.
I’ve had a string of people demanding samples from recent Craigslist posts. One guy was looking for people with a background in mortgage banking and the other wanted legal articles. In both cases, they wanted “samples” that were 700 to 1,000 words and said there would be no pay if accepted and that they get the copyright to the sample. So that’s something to watch for.
I just responded to one of these jobs and got an immediate response!
Thanks again for your site. I haven’t visited in a while but I did get a book editing job from here several months ago!
