Monster List of Markets: 135 Places to Find Freelance Writing Jobs

Are you looking for freelance writing jobs? Here’s a hint. Content mills, bid sites, and job boards might seem like an easy place to go to find freelance writing jobs, but they’re usually a waste of time. Too much competition, flaky clients, low rates. That’s usually what you’ll find there. And it doesn’t have to be that way. You’re better off looking for freelance writing jobs by pitching magazines and websites that pay writers.

There's a wildly popular conspiracy theory that Facebook listens to your private phone calls, and no matter what the tech giant says people just aren't convinced it's not true (FB)

There's a widely held belief that Facebook uses smartphones to listen in on users, and then serve those users advertisements based on their speech. Facebook has repeatedly denied doing as much. Despite those denials from Facebook, and evidence from experts to the contrary, the belief is widely held and seemingly unshakable. Visit Business Insider's homepage for more stories. There you were, talking to Gina about a potential trip this fall to Buenos Aires. "Maybe I'll go to Buenos Aires this fall!" you said. "Or maybe Lisbon! Who knows!" Hours later, idly scrolling through Facebook and — what's that? An ad for vacationing in Lisbon? How could it have known? It's perhaps too familiar of a story at this point . A cliché. "Facebook is listening to my conversations!" you tell Gina. "I know it." And she's sympathetic. Maybe she even has her own story about something very similar happening to her. The belief that Face...
