    Menaka...I did try freelancer after seeing your post, but i find it too overwhelming...Too many projects and too many bids for a project. I still haven't figured out the entire thing yet...Saw some reviews of Elance work form home jobs on mouthshut, there are negative reviews too...Unable to decide if it will work for me.

    What is copyscape by the way? I am just trying to find out more...thanks

    hi radhee mam and anandhi,
    I really have started getting regular work so my days have become very busy!
    I am happy to see that so many of you are getting help from the information I provide, this is what makes me visit IL again and again.
    actually Radhe mam, content writing, and article writing basically is for websites and blogs of other people. so people would want to make sure that you so not copy it from other websites, hence they use a software to filter your work, and that is copyscape. you can copy and paste your work in copyscape, and in a few seconds you get the result of how many words are taken from other websites etc.
    am planning to give a how to start freelance writing in my blog, am just waiting for my works to get completed.

    Anandhi,
    please go to Freelancer.com | Online Jobs | Freelance Employment | Outsourcing Services | Programmers | Web Design | Freelancers or Elance | Outsource to freelance professionals, experts, and consultants - Get work done on Elance or Outsource to Freelancers, IT Companies, Programmers, Web Designers from India, Russia, USA, and more
    you get a lot of freelance works there.
    all the best ladies, we would win anything, the starting spark is what we are waiting for.

    Hi Radhee,

    Here're my thoughts

    1.As you have IT experience, you can try out technical writing.

    2.Build a profile, make a portfolio of your sample writing works (IT or general like blogs etc.,) and Upload them in the sites like freelancer,LimeExchange,Elance work from home jobs, etc.,

    3.getafreelancer.com is for beginers/freshers. Yes, there are lots of projects quoting v low price and LOTS of people bid for them (for as low as 1$).

    Well, regarding the mouthshut reviews on Elance work from home jobs. I haven't read the reviews. But just got a point to share

    3.Elance,Freelancer,LimeExhacnge,Odesk are platforms where the job seekers and job providers meet and post/find work. There are many good employers who pay your right and promptly.There are crooks who take your work and pay you nothing. So, some would have found great opportunities via these sites and some would have faced bitter experiences.

    4.So, please don't just go by those opinions. Try FREE registeration, make your profile and portfolio. You will find a good employer :)

    5.Once you get work from an employer, ensure that they pay your weekly or go for secure payment options ( like escrow as menakaa explained in the same thread)

    6.Copyscape: It is a tool that checks if your articles are original (No cut/copy, paste from other sites/ resources). All employers will ask for 100% original articles and every article you submit to them will have to pass 'Copyscape' before they get published online.

    Hope this helps.
