Choose a project – Scan the projects advertised by your potential clients. In the beginning your pay will not be great as you have to gain some experience before going after the high paying projects. For now choose projects with subjects that you have some knowledge and experience with.
Bid On Projects – Most projects listed online require you to submit a bid. You should bid on several projects you are interested in and soon your bids will be accepted by a client. After you get better known for your article writing you will set your own price for your writing.
Research – Do plenty of research on your subject and absorb more information than you actually require to complete the assignment you have successfully bid on.
