Each week The Freelance Blog gets two or three requests for design work. They come sometimes from contacts, but more often than not they come from random people. Sometimes they even come from web-famous people or well-known companies. What is interesting about this though is that The Freelance Blog no longer freelance, advertise for work or even have a portfolio.
Actually it can be pretty hard to contact them, though they did finally put up a little website for myself two weeks ago.
Although these days they turn away all this work, for some years they did in fact work as a freelance designer and happily always had more work than they could do – despite being inclined to overwork.
So how do you get web design jobs? Or any other type of job? Here are some things that have worked for them.
