Betty R asked C. Hope Clark:

What are ways to know that some of these sites are sincere? I am interested in freelance writing part time. What is the best way to get started in this field?

C. Hope Clark Start local, pitching stories to markets like regional magazines, newspapers, and even blogs relative to your state or area. Once you gain a few credits, them work out from there. Don't limit yourself to online sites. Go with magazines, too, and pitch their websites. There are usually two different editors with magazines - online and print. Pitch timely material to the blog and more evergreen material to the print version.
