I have been doing a lot of self-promotion the past two weeks trying to land some gigs and get some more writing done. I love the idea of being a full time freelancer with my writing, web design, and other projects.
The newest website I am working on is going to highlight all of my skills and be on a subject I love - animals! More specifically animal totems - it gives me an opportunity to show off some art, web design, and writing all in one place :)
In the meantime, to make some more money I've been filling out profiles/portfolios on sites like Elance and some others. I will compile a list of freelance sources to post to find writing gigs at some point here in the near future. I'd like to hear from anyone though who knows of a good freelance job website where you can get decent paying gigs. Elance has a lot of competition and a lot of the jobs are going to people overseas who are willing to write for a dollar an article. I believe I am worth more than that and I refuse to take on those super-low paying jobs.
One cool website I did find though is www.donanza.com - I like the design it's really clean and sharp. When you sign up (free) you can get job postings sent to you. Their job postings cover most of the freelance sites and the listings they have sent me have all been relevant. It's a good way to search "all at once" rather than going from site to site.
More later.... Happy writing!
