1. Upwork
Upwork was created through the merger of two major websites in the freelance industry, Elance and Odesk. It is arguably the most popular freelance website today as it is constantly mentioned by freelancers and is often referred to when looking for writing work. One drawback of the website is their high service rate taking anywhere from 5-20 percent of your payment depending on how long you’ve been working with a client. However, it is still one of the best sources for looking for writing work which makes it reach the top of the 7 best freelance websites for writers.
