New to Content Writing. Suggestions Welcome!

[jesberman]

Hi there!  I’m a freelance editor who’s looking to break into the online content writing business.  I recently managed to set up my own business site, along with a facebook page, and I’m trying to figure out what my next steps should be.  So far most of my experience has been in academic editing and tutoring, along with some work writing articles for non-profit organizations, but I’m also very interested in doing work for private companies.  I’d really appreciate any tips or hints anyone can provide.

Thanks!
