ProBlogger Freelance Writing Jobs Scraper

Scrapes all active freelance writing job listings from the ProBlogger Job Board — the canonical curated source for paid blogging, copywriting, editing, and ghostwriting gigs.

What it returns

For each active job listing:

Field Description
job_title Job title
company Employer or individual posting the job
job_type Contract, Freelance, Full-time, or Part-time
category Job category (Blog / Article Writing, Editing / Proofreading, etc.)
location_remote Location or remote status
posted_date Date the job was posted
description Full job description (HTML)
pay_rate Pay rate when disclosed by the employer
apply_url Direct apply URL when available
listing_url URL of the job detail page on ProBlogger
tags Job type and category slugs derived from listing metadata

Usage

  1. Set Max Items to limit how many job listings are returned. Leave empty to return all active listings.
  2. Run the actor — it will scrape the listing page and fetch each job detail page for the full description.

Notes

  • ProBlogger is the most established curated freelance-writing job board, pre-filtered to paid blogging, copywriting, editing, and ghostwriting gigs. It differentiates from generic job aggregators (Upwork, Freelancer) by requiring employers to post writing-specific roles.
  • The board typically shows a few dozen active listings at any time, with high turnover. Running this actor on a schedule is well-suited for writing-job-alert feeds and rate aggregation.
  • No authentication required. All listed jobs are publicly accessible.
  • The apply_url field is populated only for jobs with an external application link. Many ProBlogger listings direct candidates to apply via the description itself (email, Google Form, etc.).
