Coincidentally I am on the administrative team (SEO Director) for a content creation site. The best way in which to promote your content is going to be your own blog or a website, but failing that, there are a wide range of wiki sites out there that will permit you to write for them and will credit your work to you. It's a good place to showcase what you can do. If you build it they will come is absolute crap, so once you do create a site with your content on it, promote it. Social media is going to be remarkably helpful. Build your brand and your name. Get yourself out there in the spotlight for your original and well written content that is factual and informational. Having done so you will begin to get a client list. Don't sell yourself short even starting out. Our site pays .0129 or about a cent and a third per word for the lowest paying items, upwards to 8-10 cents for sales copy. We are by invitation only but many sites that pay relatively well are not so. Your work, you must consider, will make a great deal for your customers if you do it well and diligently. Don't gouge them, but certainly charge what you or your experience is worth. By that I mean, I have 12 years in content and about 8 in SEO. Prior to that I was a nurse. Those things mean that I am frequently hired to do technical or medical writing. Any good education or experience that you bring to the table makes you more valuable to your customers. Write what you're good at. Get samples out on social media and other places and promote your skills. People will hire you. Solid content writers and good sales copy are hard to come by. Believe me

That's are good advise. Thank you very much for sharing with us.
