If you do not want to turn into a "penniless writer", then you will want to learn to dig up good freelance writing opportunities - and here is how you can do that!

First, be a GOOD writer. Perhaps that is self-explanatory, but it is not something that can be ignored. Use proper grammar at all times, and be sure to do your editing. Poorly written work does not sell. If you don't know the difference between "theirs" and "there's", or or how to avoid run-on sentences, then you will need to learn how to do so.

Second, consider that good writing has a specific structure. You should see, in each piece of your work, a beginning, a middle, and an end. You need to guide your reader through what you have to tell them. Introduce your topic with a gripping intro, pass along what they need to know about your topic, and then wrap it up with style.
