For people who like freelancing, how do you get your projects?
You you just do it by networking / word of mouth?

Something better than craigslist?

I like too advertise in places appropriate to my type of work.
So naturally I shake my genitals on street corners.

word of mouth is the best advertisement

it sounds rather elitist... but our clients do most of our advertising. 90% of our new work comes from referrals.

@doesnotexist - with the calls, I am mainly calling to get them to a seminar for local businesses. So for about every 15 calls, i'll get one person to a seminar.
- that's a very very high rate for cold calling...bjladams
- I call people in my local area and I know that they are on profile.
breadlegz - and the seminars are free
breadlegz - i've read that the best of the best in cold calls is 5% response- looks like you've made it! 6.6%. it's all beyond me, i so i can't really saybjladams
- my ability, so i can't really have an opinionbjladams
- if the seminars free then them coming to one isn't a turnover...how many from those end up giving you cash?doesnotexist
