I think the best way to get started as a writer is to develop a portfolio of professional work. You can start by doing jobs for free or on sites like hire writers. I wrote an article about how to use the site to get content created and how to use it to make money. Check out the article hopefully it will be useful. [Make Money as a Writer on Hire Writers Marketplace](http://learninternetgrow.com/content-creation-hire-writers/) Also there are articles about getting started as a freelancer on the same domain. They were written by a freelancer so it is sage advice. To learn about creating a [professional content portfolio](http://learninternetgrow.com/building-freelance-writing-portfolio-scratch/) check out the link. After you create your portfolio with a professional looking website featuring links to your work, you can develop relationships with editors and pitch them ideas. Although I fully support the idea of entering contests and submitting work to magazines, it might be more difficult to get paid this way.
