  1. Pitch To Bloggers: Contact bloggers in your niche and tell them what you admire about their site and offer them your services. Be sure to include links to samples of your work.

Actually there are a lot of such jobs, and people with good writing skills can find a job very quickly. I know writers from the services always have orders, recently I ordered a personal statement for dental school, and I saw that their writers have great experience in writing, so I can draw a conclusion that they have enough work, and if your skills are really good, it would be nice to apply to such a job.
