I would suggest starting out as a freelancer on Odesk or Elance. If you do not have a portfolio or any relevant experience, you may want to try Fiverr.
You will not be paid much, but you will get some experience under your belt. As you establish the value that you have to offer, most people are willing to pay extra for special projects. You may also want to consider blogging.
It is a great way to showcase your writing skills and get organic publicity. You can also offer to write guest posts for other popular blogs like Huffington Post and Business Insider. Kimanzi Constable has been very successful at building a business and a career by writing guest posts for major blogs.
On his website, he offers detailed instructions on submitting guest posts. If you have a special niche (i.e. articles, narratives, blogs), identify your target audience.
Find out where your audience hangs (i.e. LinkedIn, Facebook, Meetup, etc) out and begin spending time with them. Find out what problem they would pay someone to solve. Craft your freelancing business to meet this need.
