You\u2019ll make better use of your time searching for writers in places like:<\/p>\n<h2>Websites for Writers<\/h2>\n<p>Unless you\u2019re a writer yourself, you probably don\u2019t go anywhere near these sites. After all, what use would you have for blog posts like \u201c<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/bloggers-counter-writers-block\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">How to Smash Writer\u2019s Block to Bits<\/a>\u201d or \u201c<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/bloggers-time-saving-tips\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">How to Schedule Your Writing Time?<\/a>\u201c<\/p>\n<p>But if you don\u2019t at least take a look at the bylines behind the aforementioned posts, you\u2019ll be missing out on some mad writing skills.

Unlike most, these comment sections tend to be well-moderated, so there\u2019s little to none of the usual vitriol you find in those places.<\/p>\n<p>Also, <strong>the writers have links back to their own websites<\/strong> \u2013 either through their username or an in-comment link formatted as \u201c(username) recently posted (blog post title) \u2013 so it won\u2019t be difficult to check their stuff out and drop them a line.<\/p>\n<h2>Blogs in Your Niche<\/h2>\n<p>Okay, maybe wading through post after post about \u201chow to write when you don\u2019t feel like writing\u201d isn\u2019t in your wheelhouse. Maybe you want someone who talks less about writing and more about\u2026 a non-writing related thing that you want to write about. Does that make sense?<\/p>\n<p>In that case, <strong>Google \u201c(your niche) + blog\u201d, and see if you can find any good leads from there<\/strong>. If you\u2019re already following a blog in your niche (which you should do, by the way!), you may already have a writer who stands out to you in some way. Feel free to let them know that you have work available for them because chances are they\u2019ll be happy about the offer!<\/p>\n<h2>Referrals<\/h2>\n<p>Then again, maybe the writer you want isn\u2019t available. That can be quite a letdown, not to mention a testament to that writer\u2019s skill (why else would she or he be in demand?). What you can do is <strong>ask that writer if she or he knows someone else she or he can send your way<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>By the way, <strong>it\u2019s a good sign if a writer can \u2013 or will \u2013 refer someone to you<\/strong>. It means (1) the writer does everything she or he can to help clients, even indirectly; (2) the writer makes the time and effort to connect with others, which is a basic but valuable marketing skill; and (3) you made a good enough impression as a client to warrant referrals to people that the writer likes and trusts.<\/p>\n<h2>Social Media<\/h2>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/tag\/linkedin\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">LinkedIn<\/a> isn\u2019t the only place to find writers (although it\u2019s certainly one of the best places).
