Best place to find freelance web design work quick? I need some fast cash ($100 or more in a week)?

I'm in need of some fast cash to help a friend out and I have about a week to get it. I'm needing about $100-$200 (the more the better) and since I know how to design websites, I was thinking of finding freelance web design work. The prob is, I've never been able to find good paying freelance work as too many people will do the work for free or near free just to get their portfolio filled. I need the money so I'm asking here in hopes someone knows a good place to get some paying work in freelance web design.





I have done many websites and can provide proof if needed.

The first place to go for quick turn around capitol is your own personal network. Who do you know - family and friends- who stand to benefit from a website...they don't necessarily have to have a business...(As an example, an Aunt, who is completely Internet phobic would love a website to share photos and videos of her kids with the family and friends.)





Next option, you have to market yourself. Get out there and pound the pavement...but first do the research. Check out the web for info about businesses in your area who you feel could benefit from a web presence. If you can't find them on line, pay them a visit and let them know what you can do for them. Two great places to use as a resource for these folks is local radio and local print (news papers.) They're already advertising, so they're interested in spending money to market themselves. Then, if they don't have a website, stop in and let them know how you can make their marketing plan better - with a website.





Good Luck!

Quick, huh? Alright, if i was in your position I would search out the freelance websites. Many are looking for writers, but some are looking for programers and designers. But be prepared to bid on jobs. You will be competing against other designers.





Google "freelance programmer" or "freelance designer". You can also check out http://www.data-entry-jobs.net . They have a lot of online jobs, and sometimes good designer ones come up.





Good luck.
