Beware Creepy Craigslist Writer Opportunities

When I was just starting out as a freelance writer, I found and tried out many gigs via Craigslist and other websites. Some of them were great. I wrote for magazines, nonprofit groups, medical websites, general blogs, parenting sites, children’s gaming review companies, and research organizations. I even ended up with some work in a book. But I also applied to some pretty seedy places that ended up being not-so-great.
