Specialize
Writers hate being pigeonholed in terms of subject matter, and good ones can produce quality copy on many topics. But, particularly in a tough economy, specialized knowledge or experience may give you an edge in selling yourself to an editor or other content buyer. Are you an avid gardener? A teacher? A veteran? A parent? Yes, even certain life experiences may lend you an advantage in breaking in to certain markets.
