Shitty websites.... i am by no means a Pro, BUT !!! i can improve what some people already have....i am a freelancer , but work for someone else here in the UK, they advertised for freelancers, i applied i got the job, i since found out that it is run by 1 individual, with the design style of blind lemon. He uses freelnacers to do his work for him, he gets the clients interested and then finds someone to fo the job, most of his workers are hobbyists, as professionals would demand more money that he is willing to pay, but once i start a job for him, i have him where i want him and then demand more money, as i have started already he has no choice but give it to me or the work gets put on hold and he ends up wasting time.....sneeky, but gets the job done. The clients i do work for have thier sites hosted by him, he pays me 20% of whatever he gets paid, most sites i do i get £120 for, shit money but quick turnover and if client happy, everyones happy. But !!! most of the time he gives me the clients details and contact number to chas eup work specs ( bad move ) as i end up building a good work relationship with them and 9 times out ot 10 they come to me directly for advice and work, by-passing the BOSS ( i hope he is not a member here ), so i get more work that way, very crafty, but he doesn't deserve to get the majority of money for the work i have done as he only gets the clients, i work my ass off. After i have a few regular clients of my own that trust me, they will pass on the word, and i get more business direct to me, then i can start thinking of setting up my own reseller company and host the sites myself ( not too far off i hope ). My methods are not the greatest, but it works for me, i am still learning all the time and if i get stuck i ask questions here, or in our case WAKKOS you help me out. If i get work that i cant handle i pass it on to someone else that i trsut can do it, and then work as the middle man. I htink most freelancers get thier work through word of mouth as that is the best form of advertising other than paying BIG bucks and having an advertising campaign that may or may not work. So, in my case this method suits me, my BOSS is NOT my friend, he is my BOSS, therefore i do not feel guilty when HIS clients end up on my doorstep, and pay me directly. Well i wish you luck my friend, hope that all your efforts do not go unnoticed, and i am sure you will make a success in whatever direction you choose to take.
