I joined a writing team. I had the good fortune of finding a writing team to join. If you want to try to join one, google "writing team" or "join writing team" to see what you come up with. It helps increase income big time because you don't need to bid for jobs.
I place bids. I use Vworker.com but there are tons of other sites like elance.com and odesk.com. There's an art to bidding and unfortunately, I haven't quite cracked it - though I have won some bids here and there. Just keep bidding - you'll get gigs eventually!
Content writing sites. I have tried both Textbroker and The Content Authority and I like TCA the best. Textbroker is a little frustrating to navigate. I like this method better than having clients though. I just set a goal to write a certain number of articles and pretend it is a project for a client.
Basically those three things are what I have been focusing on. I can already tell, however, that doing this kind of writing is going to get old. I need residual income so that I don't have to rely on the work I do for clients.
