    Finding Freelance Jobs

    I've been trying off an on over the past fiew months to find some freelance Word VBA and/or Access jobs, with no success.

    Most of the large forums seem overcrowded, and so many people are boasting about their "10+ years experience" that it seems almost impossible for a new guy to get his start.

    Where do you guys (and gals) suggest looking to get a start in the freelance field?

    TIA

    You'll work REAL cheap if you go there.

    Personally, I built a website, put up some coding examples, and added a "Contact Me" form. It's a good place to start.

    You should try on first in posting your sample writings thru E-journals or portfolio. In that way, clients and other people who needed your service will trust and get in touch with you right away. I've been there, it is not easy to be a starter of our own crafts, but pursue and continue till somebody will find you.
