The first step is to get a guest posting gig on a friendly blog. Use that to create a portfolio, which you use to find a client gig, which you use to show your special knowledge when going after a niche magazine. I've followed this route for more than a decade as a professional writer. Please, please do not list "websites that you can deluge with e-mail asking for a writing job." About 99 percent of your work will come from clients you discovered during the above steps, not from a list seen by thousands of other people - and likely to become just a slush file for a publisher.

The thing is they dont pay enough to keep me going. Thanks for the tips. Can you possibly recommend websites?
