look at the "writing gigs" on craigslist?

I did yesterday. Found one, emailed them about it. They liked me, assigned me the job. Wrote a 1-page bio for them that afternoon, and got pay-pal'ed $50 this morning.

All in all a good $-per-page ratio, if you ask me.

Seriously? First - Congratulations! Second - I had no idea there was such a catagory at Craig's list.

But again, Congrats :)

I check it daily; and darn near everyone has been a scam. "Writers Wanted"...my butt. They just want people to fill in their stupid surveys, etc. I've had reasonably good luck finding some photography gigs, but the writing ones have all been scams so far.

Congrats on finding a good one! :)

Yeah, I've been watching it since the 1st... this was the first one who replied and wasn't a scam, lol.

But, it doesn't hurt to keep an eye out. You never know WHERE the next job will come from!

Woot! Great job. I've had a few leads on Craigslist that weren't scams, either. Some people really don't know where else to look for writers (and also what to pay, so usually you get to set your own price!).

Good job, Deek. I should check out the list this weekend. I could always use the extra money. :D
