I have come across many companies that are requesting the writer to provide content for them with no compensation, and submit. I seem to be a matter of fact, a lot of these kinds of jobs available. For all the hard work, research, time, (and assuming you have one) your web site, effort, and they provide a link back to your publisher traffic credits, free then I promise. Of course, I am, but they have to offer, to name a few of the things that you do not pay but there is one thing they have to offer.
If you are looking for exposure to give some credibility to their writing profession free advertising, traffic, and, now, for some, they are I think this is okay. However, many thank you too, they would welcome the extra income they earn for writing in today's economy.
The Lord for magazines, jobs that are posted here, salary is not a bad thing at all. Most, most of the work I will accept new writers with experience or no. Simply because that and respect, can be used as a platform and a springboard for you that you can write and grow as a writer, to challenge the skills of your writing, use of these opportunities, when new things happen at the beginning in this area, which is highly regarded as a writer is very beneficial. Your passion is something that you want to do, in some cases, this can earn a living is a freelance writer.
Tip: If you are not familiar with a company or their work, you might want to consider reading a few of their issues. I would suggest maybe one or two, to get a feel of what they want from you as a contributor(writer) before you submit your material. You can do this either online or you could also opt to purchase an issue or two. For the most part, you should be able to access their material online. This will help to ensure that your article, feature, story, etc. will be accepted.
