Hi everyone,

 

Im fairly new to freelancing and was just looking to get some tips from fellow freelancers on how to go about looking for work?

 

What tips do you have? Where have you found the best places are to look for work?

 

Any advice anyone can give is greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks

Talk to people! It's the best way

When you first start out friends and family are the best avenue I believe. Then from there you have work to place in a portfolio. Then I would say target local small business. You should then have a fairly nice portfolio - then you can concentrate on google and optimising SEO for your SERP in your area.

Google local agencies and do some door knocking! We use loads of local freelancers - demonstrate your experience and your portfolio and you'll get some work for sure. Selling your services to agencies is a much easier sell than going direct to customers. If you're good then you'll always be busy - the best freelancers always are!
