Look for local writing jobs in your community. That's how I started. One of my first clients was a local small-town hospital. I wrote their newsletter for them. Six pages -- I earned $1,500 per issue. Did it every three months.
I wrote a history for a local chruch -- was paid $3,000.
I write business plans for start-up businesses -- good money.
Write brochure copy for local businesses or nonprofit groups.
Network within your local community. Get some business cards, hand them out. Buy small classified ads in your local paper advertising yourself as a writer for hire.
AND SO ON!
