Where will I get design projects?

How can I get freelance web design and development projects?

• Im from India and looking for long term freelance web based projects like website redesign, flash design, web based applications, ecom website development projects

• Answer:

  I'd put together the best web site I possibly could, link it to other sites with really useful resources, then e-mail those sites to let them know you've linked to them. Often, they will give you a link back as a courtesy. That way, you can get some notice without needing to warp your content to pull in the search engines. As a part of your site, let people know you are available to do web sites on a freelance basis. The only web designer I ever considered hiring (I was once a printer; can't stand having anyone else design anything for me, and graphic design is graphic design, so it was only considered) got my attention that way. Sure, it didn't lead to work in my case, but those who know me would tell you even getting me to think about it was an achievement.
