Paying subscription for jobs site worth it? - Freelance UK Forums

Hi
Just wondering if anyone knows if writethismoment.com is worth subscribing to for their job board?
If not, any suggestions?

Thanks in advance

Hi Eve

I have signed up with writethismoment as an experiment. Just to see how it goes.

It's OK. It's not that expensive really.

The positives are that all the jobs are there for you in one place so you can save time.

A downside is many of them are just collated from free sites elsewhere. Some are not specific projects just that publications are accepting submissions. A lot are US based; I don't kn ow if this gives UK writers less chance in applications for them.

Some might find it annoying to pay for this info and understandably so. Others will find it a handy resource.

Thanks for that, subscribed and it seems ok.
As you say, more a convenience than anything.
Have you got any work from it?

Hi Eve

I haven't yet, but also I haven't sent off for much yet although there have been a couple of things I have been interested in.

Although I have heard the horror stories I am also trying Elance for myself for a few months. So, I will let you know how that goes if you like!
