Here are some tips to get you started as a freelancer:
1. You can register FREE at popular freelance websites are Guru.com and eLance.com. Register at as many sites as possible to increase your chances of getting jobs. You might be able to work at more than one project at a time.
2. Submit your resume at each site. Create a professional current resume that accurately describes your skills and experience.
3. Browse the jobs available and bid on them. If you offer the most convincing bid, then you’ll get the job. When you provide a satisfactory, on time service, you’ll build credibility and will get other jobs.
4. Post your services on Craigslist.com. This is a free online service that lists classified advertits. Go to the services section and post your services under the appropriate category.
Once you get a few satisfied clients, request a referral letter from them.
