It is important that you match your writing skills and interests with the right opportunities if you want to get the project. Take time to research opportunities thoroughly - it will be good preparation for when you will have to research the topics you will be writing about.
Prepare for the freelance search. Get a resume and portfolio together. Highlight skills and projects as opposed to job titles. You'll need to show prospective clients that you have specific knowledge of a particular thing.
Although writers do network themselves and share leads, the best place to find work is to be prepared and be aggressive. The more jobs you look at, the choosier you can be. You may need to take small, less exciting and lower paying assignments at first, but the more you make a name for yourself as a reliable writer and easy person to work with, the more likely it is that soon clients will be seeking you.
