A good writer never runs out of ideas, I feel that writer's block is just a way to say that the writer is lazy. You should find ways to develop new ideas for your articles, there are lot of resources online to numerous to list here that will always keep a writer churning out articles. You will have to research these ways but, one I will suggest is article directories. Find several good ones that have a variety of topics especially the topics you write about and this should help you to get headlines or titles for your articles. Good day! P.S. Beware of clients that ask for "free writing samples"

Oh, wow. Please tell me you're not writing a new sample article for every individual bid? There are many, many people who will scam you out there. They will get you to write samples for them, saying that they need to know how well you can perform the job, then they'll just up and disappear or turn you down. Every person writing a sample is providing one article. If they're getting even $3 for one article, they're making a killing off of everyone writing a great sample. I had 4 default samples on hand when I used to bid on writing jobs before I had full-time clients. I would write about a topic I wanted, in the style I wanted, and I would make sure it was some of my best work. If they couldn't glean that I was a decent writer from the work I would provide, tough luck. I think you should work up a few samples and use them as default samples. Pick a topic you know a lot about and write something compelling. When you're applying to a newspaper or a magazine, you show them some of your best work via your bylines. You don't go and write an article for their paper to prove that you're good enough to write for their paper. That's more akin to an internship than it is freelancing.
