Now that I've been a freelancer for over a year, I would shy away from direct mailing and door hangers. That was something I have tested, sort of, and didn't really work out. The other things are vital, as well as networking, twitter, and facebook. The more you get to know people and attend community events, the better your chances are of meeting people who know people that need your services. @Tiemen

No one is perfect and sometimes we just have to go out on a whim and try something. If it works then it works, if not then we can at least say we tried. I will be looking forward to your upcoming articles! Thank you so much! It is a lot of good information, and you have a point you live and you learn.

I wrote this way back in the day when I first started freelancing. I followed a lot of peoples advice, followed my heart, and did things my way to get the job done. I have to say that it has worked out for me thus far. Just keep pushing yourself to do more and do better. Great things will happen. I do have to say, that the door knob hangers were not the best idea. However, you live and you learn. The rest of the advice on this article is good stuff though :-) Thanks for the kind words. I hope you find later blog posts just as helpful. I have a bunch planned to come out soon. By the way, the logo you did for Fresh Studio's is nice! Lila, I’m glad you found this article helpful!
