How to get a full-time freelance web developer/programmer job ?
Hi, I’ve been doing freelance writing for quite awhile but I’m actually interested in becoming a web designer or a software developer.
Being a self-taught programmer, it is hard for me to get regular jobs. Another problem is that I do not have a portfolio. I developed my own guitar tutorial website which required Javascript, PHP, MySQL etc skills and made a J2me app that only sold 7 copies in 2 months.
My current skill set is VB, C++, Perl, Java/J2me, HTML, CSS, Javascript, PHP and MySQL .
I don’t know what to do, should I finish making a portfolio website(again, there is not much to show) or keep bidding like crazy in the freelance job sites ? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks. 
Hello,
you have great skills so you will have no problems getting a freelance job. I am sure you can be very successful just remember that beginning are often difficult and slow. I would suggest you visit internet marketing forums (Digitalpoint forums and Warrior Forum) and offer your services there. Also visit freelance sites such as getafreelancer where you can also offer your services and contact people who are looking for services like the ones you can offer.
