[thelist] freelance resources?

[carole guevin]

hi malcom,

:Does anyone have any advice, resources and/or suggestions on how to solicit
:business for web design/development projects.

you can find some good advice, articles and resources here -
http://netdiver.net/brainshare/freelance.php - to start you with.

:I have been playing w/ the idea of creating a cd-rom based mailer
:(developed
:in flash?) to solicit business. Any idea how effective something like this
:might be?

direct marketing is efficient - if you have a large and targeted list of
potential clients... but word of mouth or referrals work best.  why not
contact some agencies you know and offer them your services?  having an
updated website that displays your capacities and recent (or most proud of)
projects is important too.
