How to get your work shown for free on the Internet

By Lori Tate

When starting out as a freelance writer, you probably want lots of exposure for your writing, but how do you do it? You might consider working for free, and offering your services to web sites you admire. Just click on the Contact Us link or the Write for Us link, and e-mail a short note explaining your experience, and including links to online clips. If you don't have online clips, paste a short article in the body of the e-mail. This process only takes a few minutes, and you never know what might result.

Finding Freelance Writing Jobs for Freelancers Just Starting Out

Other options for displaying your work for free are the following web sites:

http://www.stories.com -- Free registration includes your own online portfolio and e-mail service, and a chance to bond with other writers. You can add several types of work to your portfolio, including static items (articles or stories), book reviews, and journal entries (which can be public or private). When you create an item, you rate it (G, PG, PG-13, R, or NC-17). Then people can view your item on the web site, and rate it on a system of five stars (five being the best). The site also has writing classifieds, which include listings for contests, events, conferences and jobs. A Frequently Asked Questions feature can help you with any problems. However, if you don't get your question answered, Stories.com representatives usually respond to questions within three days. Stories.com doesn't pay for work contributed to its site, but also doesn't retain any rights to the work.

http://www.ezine.com -- This web site is an electronic magazine that publishes articles on connecting businesses to the Internet, and using Microsoft Windows NT in a routed networking environment. The information on the web site doesn't indicate whether pay is available for accepted articles. However, needless to say, extensive experience in the above fields is needed to have an article accepted for publication.

http://www.sagebase.com -- Click on the Be a Sage icon on this web site, and follow the application instructions. When accepted, you can submit articles to the web site, which focuses on many topics, including family, health, pets, and money. Articles are sorted according to category, and which sage or writer wrote them. Web site instructions indicate that writers will earn 50 percent of any revenue the web site generates through banners or articles on the page the writers article is placed. However, be cautious. I wrote 13 articles for http://www.sagebase.com in the years 2000 and 2001. All of the articles are still displayed on the site, but I haven't received any money, and I have contacted the SageBase editor several times.

http://wwwallfreelance.work.com -- Send an application to the editors of this web site, explaining your experience, and what kind of articles you would like to write. Be sure to include links to online clips. The web site allows you to submit several articles a month with your own, personal biography at the end. Your articles will be posted on other sites too. Check out the site for more information.

CAUTION: Be sure you research the web site you want to write for before you submit that first article. Make sure you understand the submission policies. Ask when your article will be posted on the web site, and then follow up to make sure its there. Being pro-active may save you much heartache. If you exercise caution and are not concerned about pay, you can find several free opportunities to display your writing on the Internet. The more online links you can show to a potential employer, the more impact you may make. Having online links also allows more people to see your writing, and gives you more practice at your craft.
