If you want to get paid writing, but can't find a good content writing job, check out these top five websites that help you find writing jobs quickly. Make money online by doing what you love and do best - writing. With these five ways to find content writing jobs, you'll be doing just that - maybe even within less than a week!

If you love to write, then you should look for a content writing job so you can make money doing what you love. Finding a content writing job can be a difficult process, though, as many writers like yourself are looking for ways to make money writing online. But by looking for jobs in the right places, you have an edge on the competition because you're not wasting time looking for jobs where they don't exist. I'll show you five places you can find a great writing position that will earn you supplemental, part-time or full-time income.

1. oDesk.com

Odesk caters to freelance writers all over the world who want to make money writing online. It doesn't matter whether you're from the United States, the UK, India, Pakistan or Ethiopia. As long as you can write fluently in English, Spanish, French or other popular languages and can pass a simple preparatory test, you can become an online content provider - for free.

To get a job on oDesk, all you have to do is bid on job offers. Of course, there is quite a bit of competition, but as long as you're willing to take the lower-paying jobs as a newbie, you can work your way up to higher offers in the future.

2. Elance.com

Similar to oDesk, eLance.com also allows writers worldwide. And like oDesk, eLance is also a jobs-bidding website. After passing a few preliminary tests (which are a breeze, by the way) you can bid on content writing jobs that look appealing to you. In some cases, you can upload samples of your work for potential clients to see. Make sure you fill out your work experience as much as possible. This way, in case you don't have any work experience on eLance, clients won't pass you up for someone with a five star rating.

3. Craigslist.com

You might not think Craigslist would be the first to offer you a content writing job. But as it turns out, I've found some great writing jobs here. I found one client who pays 10 cents per word (or $50 to $100 per article) and another one who gave me $3000 worth of work in less than one month. And since you can complete a writing job virtually anywhere in the world, your opportunities here are almost limitless!

4. Freelancer.com

Freelancer is another job bidding website that provides thousands of content writing jobs each month. So even if you have a lot of competition, you have enough writing jobs to go around, so the competition doesn't look so tough after all. Content writing job options include article writing and rewriting. If those aren't your thing, there's also blog writing, book writing, copy editing, grant writing, ghost writing, medical articles, research and technical writing job offers. And if you don't find something today, look again tomorrow - they're always getting new jobs.

5. Bright Hub

Bright Hub is one of my favorite article writing websites. It's easy to get accepted right into their writing program - no bidding and no résumé required. Bright Hub pays their writers $10 for each article, plus revenue share payments for each view their articles receive. Pretty sweet, isn't it! I make a lot of money here each month, and I help my friends get work here, too. You can choose to write for just about any channel - animals, medicine, child care, travel, video games, technology, mental health, fitness - you name it. The editors are very friendly, and I get to choose what I write about and when I write it.
