These days article writing for others pays so little you're better off starting your own website like cjthefish said. Look for an affiliate product you can write at least 20 articles on and even if you use a free website you should make more money from your writing over time.
You're not going to make good money here.
I love this site, but this ISN'T the place to sell article writing services if you're serious about a career in writing. Every single time I check the marketplace here I die a little bit on the inside.
If you're good then you need to start pitching. Start grinding. Make a stellar portfolio. Stand out from the pack by having skills other than content writing. I'm going to level with you here:
you don't need to be a great writer to make a good living writing.
You just need to be able to format things, hit deadlines, and offer a little bit more than the people around you.
For a beginner Upwork is relatively easy to get into. I think there's been some trouble there recently for new writers due to market saturation. I'd avoid Freelancer. The only job I got from there was from some backwards ass SEO agency that was taking four days at a time to get back to me, paying 25% of my usual rate and wanted me to commit some serious keyword jamming which would have ended up hurting their client.
I was banned from UpWork awhile back but I was making better than a full time minimum wage job there within a month of starting working about twenty hours a week. It's a viable way to go if you can get accepted.
Otherwise, ProBlogger has a decent job board and agencies advertise their on occasion. I've gotten into two in a couple of months with minimal effort and it pays decently in between my usual projects.
If anyone tells you writers aren't getting paid then they're full of crap or engaging in the bidding war which dominates marketing websites. If you're serious about it then there's
a lot of money to be made in high-end content.
