Hello!
I'm new here. I've been browsing tons of forums for an idea of what to do. I was laid off from my job about 3 month ago. I've been looking for a job since then, but did not even get a single interview. I worked as a web designer for a publishing company for the last 5 years. Looks like www.greenenergyinvestors.com is an active forum with active members and may be someone has some experience working as a freelance web designer. May be "GEI-Net: Dashboards Conf.Call Investing People" category is not the most appropriate for this question, but I want to try anyways to get some opinions before I go ahead with my life. I'm wondering if it is possible in the current economy to find work for a freelance web designer and make enough to pay for rent and groceries. I was able to find a small project on craigslist and I developed a website for a company. It was a small project and took me only a week to complete. I got paid $800 for 1 week of work which is not bad. Please people give me some ideas. I have 2 kids and my wife is out of work as well. Thank you in advance.

Hello and welcome.
If you do not object, I'll move this thread into the main area, as some people only look in there, and IMO you are more likely to get more responses.
Please say if that's OK with you.

HOW GOOD ARE YOU at Commercialising a website?

Maybe others have a better suggestion, but I will give you mine:

Look at: http://www.Goldstock.co.uk



I will give you the same opportunity, that I recently offered to someone else in your position.

Help me to commercialise the website, and/or sell it, and I will give you half the revenues.

GOLDSTOCK .co.uk is well positioned

Do a web search, and you will find:

1/
On a "goldstock" search, it shows up as: Number 2 !

2/
On "gold stock", it show up as: No. 6!

Also, I have others, Like Elliottwave that are already keen to advertise on the site.


Alot more can be done, such as adding mining company adverts?
Links to interviews, etc.
