How To Search For Freelance Writing Work on Google

Introduction

Freelance writers that are looking for work can go to a variety of places to do so. The best place to begin your search is by using Google which is the most popular search engine offered today. Get busy and put your computer to use and give them a visit.

Step 1

When searching for freelance writing jobs on www.google.com you will first need to go to the website for Google and make sure you are on the homepage.

Now that you are on the homepage, you will want to decide exactly what type of keywords you want to use. Keywords are the words and/or phrases you will be typing into the search area that you want Google to search for.  Remember, you are going to work Google to your advantage.

Step 2

You may want to try keywords such as:

Freelance writing

Writing jobs

Jobs where you write from home

Freelance jobs

Work from home jobs

Freelance writer

Paid writing jobs

Looking for writers

Writer wanted/needed

Blog for us

Journalist needed/wanted

Freelance writing gigs

Write for us

Getting creative with your keywords will help you get many results, so you will have to do some footwork because you will most likely get many results with each keyword you enter.

Step 3

When searching for work on Google, you can narrow your results down by putting more of a focus on the type of writing you want to do.

Try things like:

Technical writer needed

Health writer needed

Marketing blogger needed

Medical writer needed

Legal writer needed

Travel writer needed

Real estate writer needed

That will help narrow down your search results so you can get results that are more suitable for the type of writing you are qualified to do or want to do. There are many different types of work you can find on Google.

Step 4

Once Google finds your results, you will need to sift through them. Google search results are going to show and most likely you will several pages to sift through. Each website found will be hyperlinked so you can click on it and visit it directly. Once you arrive at the website, kind of go over the content and see if you find a place where you can apply as a writer or author. Check their terms and conditions as well as their writers’ guidelines. Most of them will have their own set of guidelines applicable to their writers.

Now that you know the basics of searching Google for work, you can research each of the results as you have time, or just choose certain ones that seem to suit you based on the short description shown when you get your initial results.

Step 5

Don’t get discouraged with all of the information you find and although it may seem like a ton of information to process you will find by using the correct keywords and phrases it will enable you to get the results you need and want. Using the proper keywords will be essential in order to narrow down your results. Including a certain type of writing you want to focus on will also help.

For example: if you have your heart set on medical writing and nothing else, then that is what you need to search for. There is no sense in sifting through multiple general writing jobs that may lead you nowhere if they don’t have a need for writers on that particular subject material.

Tips

Use the appropriate keywords and phrases.

Finding work on Google isn't hard, it's just time consuming.
