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.3wheelerworldforums.com is an active forum with active members and may be someone has some experience working as a freelance web designer. May be "Buyers / Seller Feed Back Forum" 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.

You will need to get your name out there to let potential customers know you are available to take on projects. Post an ad on CraigsList, newspaper, make your own site, etc.

Your correct feedback forum is NOT the proper forum for this posting. I moved the thread to the proper forum ( this time ).

IDK if 3WW is the right place for any of it?

I feel bad, I'm in a bind myself but I wonder if the person joined just because we have allot of traffic and were subject to this type of stuff.

I do hope things get better for you though......
