Post Helping you find freelance work
Recently I put together an article listing different places to look for freelance work. I did this because it is one of the most common questions we get here from people starting out working on their own. The list was just part of a bigger project that I was working on. I hope it is helpful.

The new project is now finished and I'd like to introduce the new Graphic Design Contract Work aggregation page. Now, instead of scouring dozens of job sites looking to see what is available, you can go to one page and see what is new from over 50 job sites.

Find out more about the new project here:
http://www.allgraphicdesign.com/graphic ... g-in-them/

or go right to the page and try it out yourself here:
http://www.allgraphicdesign.com/freelan ... esignjobs/

I've been working on this secret project for awhile, and I hope it is a big help.

Bunch of views and no feedback.
Guess it's not as useful as I hoped. :(

The developing that went into this is incredible!! Great job!

I think having one place to go find jobs is great. I can't locate a search feature though. If I want illustration jobs only, how do I find it?

"Here is the original:/Go here to see the original:/Read the original:" Needs to be bigger/larger otherwise I really don't know where to click. (And keep this phrase consistent on all posts, I found 3 variants alone, and honestly I think I'd reword the phrase to: "Click here for full Job Specifications: or something like that.)

Also, the click through for getafreelancer.com/ takes you to the main page of that portal not to the specific job itself. I assume it's not possible to do that?

I can see that this would be a VERY useful tool for those who bid on projects!!

Thanks for the feedback.

There is a search box in the top right corner, forgot to label it - I'll fix that.
Also, if you scroll down a bit there's a long list of tags that will limit the jobs that come up (illustration is one of them).

The links should go right to the jobs, I tweaked Getafreelancer, should work better now.

Thanks

Why does the title of the page run together? (top and bottom line)

You must be at a lower screen res than me. It is all one line on our browsers.

This has been so helpful. I have taken your advice and seen some great results. Putting your business card in library books was genius! I appreciate all the effort you took in compiling all this information. Kudos!
