Freelance and fiction writing rarely go together in the same sentence let alone earn you any substantial income. Non-fiction writing such as copywriting can net you respectable income...if you know what you're doing. And Beauty is right -- if you're going to say you're a writer then you need to learn to research. Writers find their own material. A few tips and suggestions from fellow writers is one thing, not taking the time or effort to find these out yourself shows a lack of discipline on your part.

freelance is hard. especially in fiction, where we are all essentially freelance. very few publications have staff fiction writers. your best bet is to approach magazines etc directly. research is your friend. if you write hardcore sci-fi then there is no point in sending one of your stories to people's friend. spend some time looking around at magazines etc and work out which ones you want to see your work in. then send them a query letter and a sample of your writing. it can take a couple of months sometimes, so keep sending stories out to lots of differan publications. but remember to keep track of what you have sent and where. most mags pay by the word. unfortunately there is no single place to go for a writing job. good luck
