Just go into (say) elance and get your feet wet. There are lots of postings to go through and the directions on how to contact and bid on postings is very straight forward on the site.
Best of luck to you. If you are a good writer (particularly in the area of marketing) . . . you can do quite well (financially that is)
Try article writing area first ~ short and focused pieces that can be written quickly. There is competition most surely. Just jump in and give it a go.
I hate those bid sites personally. There are hundreds of people on each site willing to work for pennies. It’s a frustrating venture. I prefer sites like Brighthub and DemandStudios who pay upfront per article.
I make around $1,200 a month writing 20 articles a week. That averages out to be a 20 hour work week. If you were more dedicated you could pull more.
Magazines are where the real money is. Go to freelancewriting.com for a list of magazines that accept submissions from freelancers.

I am also a new freelance writer. I tried the whole Elance thing, and quickly learned that it is only for people who are already distinguished writers who can pay to have all their information verified.
A great place to get paid while getting your name out is:
