Your best bet is to build from your previous experience working for magazines and journals by submitting to ones that pay. In addition to the big, general interest publications, there are a lot of niche publications, some of which have healthy budgets. If you're a good researcher, you might be able to make yourself a quasi-expert in a niche area, or at least become well informed enough to write cogently about it. Fiction is a tougher market, but if you can write genre fiction (science fiction, mysteries, romance, etcetera) you'll be able to find publications that pay for good freelance stories. You should also get a copy of **Writer's Market** --you'll find legitimate freelance writing opportunities listed there (as well as magazines, publishers and contests).
