You can go for a free website of your own and upload your articles and refer them to potential employers. It can also serve as your portfolio.
There are many websites that hire the services of freelancers. Subjects available on these sites range from films and television to gardening, relationships, pet care etc.
Websites like Suite 101.com are more selective. They have an application process in place to screen applicants seeking writing assignments. Some websites like eHow.com entertain even greenhorns providing them with an outlet.
Some of the following websites are good to begin with.
Suite 101.com: It has over 1,000 freelancers contracted to write a minimum of 10 stories every 90 days. You have to submit an application which takes two minutes to complete and two writing samples for review. If approved, you can write 400 to 600-word articles on hundreds of subjects. You are paid ad click revenue generated by the ads displayed alongside your articles.
eHow.com: This site is designed to give you step-by-step directions on how to do about everything. Here there is no application process or any fee. You can write as frequently as you wish and you can submit published material as well. You are paid on the basis of per ad click.
Constant-content.com: Unlike Suite 101 and eHow this site does not pay you from ad revenue. It offers your articles to customers who visit the site seeking content for their websites, books, brochures, and businesses. Here you can even accept content requests from the site customers.
These are a few of the many sites open to anyone seeking to start a mini-writing career.
