Telecommuting

I blogged recently about Demand Studios writing work drying up- however I’m here to say today that things are improving.  If you’ve written for them before and were discouraged by the lack of variety in articles they had available, go back and visit them.  As promised, things have gotten a little better.  You’ll find fewer of the robot and car articles sprinkled throughout the categories and find more articles on a wider variety of subjects.

One way to know what websites you’re writing for is to visit “My Account” and page down to the bottom.  There is a subtitle, “Sites You Have Been Approved to Write For.”  Hopefully, you have at least four or five sites listed in this area.  If not, perhaps you need to cast your net a little wider and pick more categories in the “Topics You Are Qualified to Write About.”  As always, if you are unsure about anything on DemandStudios, check out the forum and post any questions you have.

Another tip I came across in the forums on the DemandStudios site- if you can’t find articles you like, check the site an hour or two after midnight- that is when the articles appear that people didn’t finish on time and are re-posted as available.  While I realize that many people don’t want to stay up this late, there are still those diehard writers that are still up in the wee hours of the morning.

Hope this helps some of you out there scrambling for jobs!  I’ll have a second post today with the recent telecommuting postings - so check back!
