You should consider a few important things when writing an article. One of the main ones is the choice of topic. Selecting a topic you are happy to write about is a step into the right direction.
Aside from the fact that it will be easier for you to write about something you enjoy, your passion for the topic will shine through your writing.
Most editors can recognize and appreciate enthusiastic writing.
You will know much about your topic, thus saving a lot of time in research.
Writing will become a source of satisfaction and pleasure for you.
If you are worried about limiting your possibilities if you only write about what you know, feel free to explore similar interests and work your way out from there. As an example, if you are knowledgeable about chemistry, you can probably also write about general health with little effort on your end. And since your audience will widen, so will your markets. Several magazines offer a section for health. Health topics can be widened to include such topics as sporting injuries and how to treat them, or nutrition. In addition, you can write about the different ways nutrition applies to different age groups. Do you see how easily you can branch out? In just a short period of time, you will be able to pitch articles to different magazines and newspapers, and your enthusiasm will seep through the words you write.
Most freelancers have no trouble writing about their favorite topics. You can submit to magazines specializing in that topic, but what happens if you are asked to write about a topic you hate, or know little about? If you can research and write, then all you have to do is to put your skills to work for yourself. If not, you can always refuse the assignment. If, for example, you are asked to write about finance and investments and you are not even familiar with the terms used, then unless you are a quick learner and love research, your reputation might suffer.
Writing virtually is even riskier, because you don't have the benefit of an editor. You need to make sure not only that you report accurate facts, but also that you have something juicy to deliver. A plain article that doesn't offer anything new will only hurt your reputation in the writing world.
For example, everyone is pretty much aware that dogs need a healthy diet and exercise to remain healthy. But does everyone know that his drooping ears need to be inspected carefully for ticks or disease? And, would they know how to detect a certain illness common in a particular breed from certain signs? Have they heard about that old remedy that will save them a bomb at the vet? This kind of information is the type of meat you are expected to deliver in your articles.
