Magazine Freelance Writing: How To Find The Job Of Your Dream


If you have always wanted to write for a magazine one of the ways that you can find the job of your dream is to search for magazine freelance writing positions. It is important to note that searching for the ideal freelance writing job with one particular company may take some time. You might not find the perfect company for weeks or four months. But if you are careful and diligent, you can certainly find an ideal company to meet your dream with a bit of patients. The ideal company might not appear as soon as you start your search. But if you continue to look through recent job postings for a mere 5 to 10 minutes per day you will soon find that the availability of jobs and the potential for top-notch freelance positions will grow. If you do find a job that you think is ideal, you can place a bid on that job. When you place a bid it important to note that you will not necessarily win the job. You will have to prove to the magazine why you were the most appropriate person for the job. This is a very cutthroat process, one which requires a great deal of confidence and perseverance. But if you are able to put forth that confidence and willing to put forth that perseverance you will find that the ideal job will very soon manifest.

As you are applying for different freelance magazine jobs you should continually update your skill set. It is important for you to regularly update your knowledge of common practice, the goings on of the magazine for which you want to write, and any changes to the industry. The more you know the better suited you will be to win over the job of your dreams. It is also important that you have a comprehensive portfolio so that the moment the perfect magazine job manifests, you can show them exactly why you are the best writer for the job.

Once you nail your dream job you can reap many benefits including the following:

  • - You do not have to worry about booking appointments for to six weeks in advance so that you can get a time that fits with your lunch break and forgo your chance to eat that afternoon. Instead you can simply change your work schedule around.
  • - Another advantage is that you get to learn many things with each new job. Every job you take will afford you the opportunity to learn more about a topic or a company that you were perhaps unfamiliar with before.
