Hi I am a freelance web developer, and I am in need of a contract to use for a project I am trying to start. Does anyone have an idea of where to get one?
You can register at freelance website like http://www.getafreelnacer.com/ and start bidding for all web designing projects posted there. Initially bid as low as possible.
I have been writing web content for outsourcing companies for a while. But the pay is low and some of what I’m asked to write (like biased reviews, bashing competition) is objectionable to me. Then I found sites where folks can post writing projects and freelance writers can put bids on them.
Can anyone here with experience in this give me advice? How does one get paid? What sort of experience is needed? Do I need to have a web site, online portfolio, blog, etc.?

There is section Content
Many people are asking for content writing there
I am very skilled in MS Office applications and many other including editing software and data research and input. I am not looking to be referred to a site on how to find this type of work. I am asking the question here.
Try looking at reverse auctions
Good luck with figuring that out! The price that people will pay for custom freelance work nowadays is so out of whack it is not even funny… All this outsourcing to foreign countries have really hurt all of us freelancers.
In my region of the country, I can charge about $50 an hour to my regular customers. I can charge up to $75 an hour for emergency work. But most people find spending more than $1.50 an hour is too much nowadays (yeah, you heard me right – a dollar fifty – what a shame, huh?).
I have more than three years of experience in editing corporate press releases, varying from quarterly reports, mergers, acquisitions, major contracts etc.. i am also actively involved in writing entertainment articles, general news articles. kindly let me know if there are some exciting opportunites wherein i can write and earn from home. Kindly give me the contacts of credible sources…
First things first, create a web site that looks clean, clear, professional and attractive. Since you’re a writer make sure your text is ABSOLUTELY flawless. People want to know more about who you are, what you do, what you’ve done, your credentials, your experience, etc and a web site is the way to go. Trust me, if you don’t have one create one or have someone create one for you. Even if you have to pay for it it will be totally worth it.
Then, go to CL (Craigslist):
http://losangeles.craigslist.org/
Well, you pick your city and you go on your left to two categories principally: "Writing/editing" in Jobs and "Writing" in Gigs. You can also, no should also go to "Creative" and "Lessons". Depending on where you live there might be other interesting web sites but CL is the most famous, most used and most trusted I believe.
You don’t just look for ads, you put your own ad on CL offering your services. Since you’re a writer write a text that will make people want to try you and not your competitors. (It is a tought market)
Since you will be working from home don’t just check your city but all big cities and see what’s available and where you would like to post.
You can also check out this web site: http://www.ifreelance.com/
Good luck and if it’s taking a little longer than you would have wanted it to at first, please don’t give up as the outcome will be great! Especially if you can get a regular big client. Sometimes, one big one is enough.
I am looking for a good freelance site to search for a software developer to build my project.
Can anyone recommend for a good freelance site!
Thanks

I am Web Designer, having 3+ years of experience. Now i am very much interest to do free lance project works, related to web design, graphic design, logo design.
Can you please help me on this, which is the i need to follow and which websites are good for freelance project’s. please help me.
Go to the site www.Getafreelancer.com there you will find a lot many projects daily but put a good bid for your project .
I currently work in marketing/PR and am planning on quitting my full-time job in a few months to go back to school and earn a second bachelor’s in civil engineering (and thus change careers). While I’m in school, I’ll need to earn some money, and I figure a good option for me would be doing freelance marketing/PR projects – flexible hours and hopefully better pay per hour than waiting tables. For those of you that currently do freelance marketing/PR, do you have any tips for finding work? I’ve browsed craigslist, but that isn’t always reliable (I don’t want those work-for-free-but-build-your-portfolio jobs). I’m in the Chicago area if it makes a difference.
Also, if I create an online portfolio of my work, does anyone know if I can I feature work I’ve done for my current employer (now or after I leave)? I don’t want to get in any copyright trouble. I’m not sure how to approach my boss with that question just yet.
elance.com or guru.com
also, you can use google adwords or yahoo’s pay-per-click tools you can advertise your business like you choose Chicago area as target zone and trigger key words like ‘marketing consultant’; ‘marketing services’.
For the portfolio, you have to check your contract! the part where it refers to intellectual property. Usually (unless they have crappy lawyer), it is written that all Int.property created during your employment belongs to the company.
You have to be a little bit smarter to represent your work as example prototypes of things that you can do rather than things that you have actually done – this is if you post it on line – you can bring portfolio in a folder for your interviews and to show your interviewer as long as you do not give it to them and you do not reveal company secrets (which is tricky but with a little bit creativity could be done)
Good Luck
R.
