It's looking to me like I'd be lucky to get $0.25 a word around these parts. Let's presume that I am fortunate enough to get this rate... in order to live at my desired comfort level, I have to make $1000.00 a week.

So... 4000 words. That's four big pieces a week, sixteen a month. That's cake, I can do that no problem... but where to get the work? And who'll pay?

Wow! Its pretty exciting to read about your writing endeavors. If you want to talk to my friend Will, who is a writer living in Tribeca, let me know. As far as I know he does not write articles, but you might still gain some knowledge from him.

Take your portfolio of published pieces and publishing credits and then query editors with project ideas. If they like the pitch, they'll take on your piece.

You can't just write a piece first and send it without their approval.

Once you work with the editor, if they like you, they'll throw more work your way.

Some resources that may (or may not) be helpful: http://www.yudkin.com/flfaq.htm
http://www.absolutewrite.com/freelance_writing/freelance_writing1.htm

There's more online, of course, but these two are a start.

Good luck!
