Sorry to say but it is very hard to make money from free-lance writing unless you are an established writer. Try looking for the reference work “Writer’s Market” in print or online for ideas.
You’re going to need to submit and submit and submit, just like everyone else. (And it’s killing me – please, “Will you recommend to me…”.)
I am not sure that I would hire you as a writer with the way that you posed this question.
It depends on what kind of writing you want to do. For fiction, you could start by submitting writing to short story contests or literary magazines. For nonfiction, it depends on your interests. Buzzfeed and thoughtcatalog churn out a shitload of short-form articles written by young adults. If you have a facebook, you can “like” these pages and the algorithm will start suggesting similar articles. That will give you a good idea of the writing style and subject matter. (Mostly short articles on the trials and tribulations of 20-something life.)
You might also want to join a writing group or creative writing class. The feedback will help, and the other members or the instructor might have ideas about how to get published. Published writing should be clear, stylish, and efficient.
Lastly, some people self-publish in the kindle marketplace. My… ~background~ is in fandom, and there’s a lot of discussion going around that people can make money selling short-form stories. The most successful genres are romance and erotica; apparently people sell small, chapter-length stories for 99 cents to three dollars. Obviously that’s not for everyone, and you’re responsible for editing, marketing, cover design etc. yourself.
What language will you use in your story? English or Indian? Do you want to public it right in India or somewhere else? And which format do you want it to be in? Ebook or hard-cover book?
English should be the language. I would like it to be published for the whole world. Both E-Book and Hard-cover.
You can write on “Blurb” and self publish.
