Thanks for the feedback guys. I will look at the threads posted

If you can do both quality and speedy delivery, you'll surely be your clients' preferred provider. That's what we have been doing since 2005 and it has been working for us.

I run ads on Gumtree and Craigslist sometimes.
I also run ads in Twitter and Facebook.
I get clients through this forum and others I belong to.
If you want a report that will give you a ton of sites where you can find work, check out my WSO in my signature too.

It takes time to build up a regular client base. Always ask for testimonials and referrals. I have gotten a lot of work from referrals because I deliver the best quality every time.

Write your own articles and post in some of the better sites with links back to your own writing site so you can build more backlinks.

Create a profile in LinkedIn and Apsense.

I hope that is enough to keep you going for a little while, along with the ideas others have suggested.

One simple method I have used to grab clients is through Craigslist. You can find clients in just about any state and most of the time they will pay more because they don't know what type of online pricing people charge for writing services.

Classifieds sites are great to find your writing clients. What is more most of the sites are free, so it won't cost you any penny.

Also there are some sites like iWriter (owner is a WF member) which is great way to start your writing career. Although initially these sites will pay you less, but once you prove your quality , you will get high amount. Quality is the 'All' which you need to take care.

Personally I would suggest working with your PLR more than working with clients. PLR is one of those things where your income snowballs as you get more packs released. I highly suggest setting up your own site to sell your PLR and building a list.

You can also offer rewriting of your PLR to your list as well as custom article writing if you are ever in need of some extra cash.

Thanks for all the great ideas guy.

So far, I have decided to:

1) Getting customer testimonials by offering free reviews (Warriors For Hire Thread)
2) Joined Textbroker.co.uk to get work, pay isn't great but gives me a chance to practice my writing and earn some money at the same time.
3) Still reviewing Constant Content which looks promising, plus it caters towards the higher spectrum of article writing.

I have put my PLR efforts on hold till I build up some capital. Unfortunately my PLR WSOs are showing a negative ROI at this point of time. It's something that I will look at again when possible.

Finally, I have just come across article syndication which appeals to me as a writer. I would love to write on stuff that I enjoy. However its something that I am very unfamiliar with, so I am still doing my research.

Just to update everyone on my progress, and to give potential writers some motivation:

I gotten several clients and assignments so far. Not enough for me to do it full-time but its a nice side income. The great thing is that my writing has improved with every piece of work I do.

In my spare time, I also do some freelance work on textbroker. I am a Level 4 writer, waiting to be reviewed and *hopefully* be bumped up to Level 5. Truth be told, the work is less demanding as you can choose the topics you wish to work on. There were quite a few assignments on internet marketing / SEO that I absolutely nailed. The money is decent but not fantastic.

I have also offered review articles to several Warriors that I am familiar with to build up my reputation.

All this work has given me the capital and motivation to work on my IM projects (involving paid traffic). I have earned more money this month than through the internet than the whole of the past year (through IM of course) by staying the course, and not jumping from idea to idea.

Hope this motivates everyone
