 Hello all,
 
 I will be graduating in December, and many of my friends graduated in June.
 
 With the tough job market out there, many of my friends are looking for alternative ways to make money besides your traditional 9 to 5 job.
 
 Are there any tips anyone can give me, as to how they, or anyone they know successfully found freelance work.
 
 Thanks for any help you can provide.

 Hi GravyTrain,
 
 You can take a look at elance.com or Google "freelance".
 
 As to how - create a nice profile with a portfolio on freelance sites. Show your stuff aka why someone would hire you. Experience helps quite a bit.

 The best place to look for freelance jobs is Elance.com - check it out sometime - there are lots of jobs in writing, web design, and other categories...

 Just so you know, it rather not easy as submitting a bid and getting a job on those freelance websites, you have to be real good.
