Garethp Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 I just started up my business (Well, I started it up a few months ago for tax purposes, but I just got the website up) and I was wondering where people would recomend I advertise. I was thinking of advertising myself in the freelance section, but that won't get me much business I think, so I came here to ask you people Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philip Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 You'd actually be surprised on how many hits qualified people get in the freelancing section. I know of one that got a full time job from it, and a few that have gotten a lot of smaller jobs (but they were recurring clients) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garethp Posted October 18, 2009 Author Share Posted October 18, 2009 That's cool. I just posted there. But where else should I post, because I don't really know any other places that even talk about PHP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philip Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 I typically aim for local businesses whenever the market allows so (when you dont have 50 other web devs going after the same client.) You could always do the developer auction sites - I've heard some good things about http://www.getafreelancer.com/, but never used them myself. I'm kinda curious what others suggest too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coreye Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 For a fee you can advertise your services on SitePoint. Other freelance sites similar to http://www.getafreelancer.com are: http://www.odesk.com http://www.php-freelancers.com http://www.project4hire.com http://www.ifreelance.com Just a heads up... your portfolio looks broken.

Garethp Posted October 18, 2009 Author Share Posted October 18, 2009 Thanks. I fixed the include issue about 10 minutes ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcombs_31 Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 I get deterred once I see what people bid on most jobs. I can't work for the wages that some others seem to be happy with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
