Question How to pitch properly- any tips?

Hi. I'm new to the site and hope to make a few contacts and pick up some info along the way!. I have a question which I hope I can get some really good advice on.
I've recently started to up my game in the freelance writing stakes,( i've been doing mainly free writing for websites and magazines) and have been trying to pitch ideas to magazine editors. My only problem seems to be, that I don't get any offers of work, so I'm assuming my pitching isn't up to scratch. Does anyone have any tips on how I should approach pitching to editors, (I'm aware of the basics, I.e. get the editors name, personal email) , I just don't seem to be getting any further than me sending the email!!!. I don't think its a case of me not being able to write, I just don't think I'm selling my ideas well.

Any tips most welcome!

Beckie
