So what do you need? Knowledge of good writing skills and a strong desire to suceed is a perfect place to start. Without these you are setting yourself up for some serious disapointments. You also need to be able to accept rejections. They are going to happen and that is ok.
There are many places you can look for topics. Yourself would be one of them. Look at your life, your childrens life, your neighbors life. What are your favorite hobbies? Your favorite foods, clothes, etc. What can you pull from their experiences?
Article writing has many benefits. No one tells you what you have to write, you get to choose. It is also very flexible. If you need to write between three and five am, no one will know or care. You can write your articles at the local coffee shop or at the kitchen table. It is all about what works best for you.

Phone set to voicemail, email turned off, computer, printer, pencil, paper, dictionary, and thesaurus all together to minimize distractions and maximize your writing time.
The good thing about writing articles as apposed to writing books is the turnaround time for payment is much quicker. It could take you months or years to hear back from a publishing company but only a few weeks for an article.
