Freelance Graphic Design Jobs

Blog Your Way To Success

Starting a blog is a good way to get freelance graphic design jobs. People in need of design work can view your portfolio and

rates before contacting you. The blog presells them. All you have to do is close the deal.

The blog does your marketing for you so that you can concentrate on the work you love. Your online portfolio presells your service.

If your rates are posted on the site, you know that anyone contacting you is willing to pay your asking price. This eliminates that uncomfortable rate negotiation conversation.

Ideally, you want a website with a blog. The website hosts your online portfolio, your "about me" page, your rate schedule and your "contact me" page. The blog helps you to network with other graphic designers. Prospective clients will find you through both.

*Avoid putting your email address on the internet unless you want lots of spam. Let people use the form on the "contact me" page to get in touch with you. Also, this way, you get their email address. You will need to list your phone number for people who would rather call than write.

The website will draw free search engine traffic if it ranks well and is properly optimized. You rank a website mainly by building backlinks to it. List your site in design directories. It is worth paying for these listings. The links will boost your search engine rankings and people will find you through the listings.

If you don't know SEO, work with someone who does in setting up the site. It will make a big difference in your results.


Get busy designers to pass their overflow to you.

Build relationships with other bloggers. Participate in online design forums. Do link exchanges with other graphic designers.

During slow times, email designers you’ve built a relationship with and let them know you're currently looking for freelance jobs. Ask if they would send assignments they don't have time to do your way.

If your portfolio is impressive, they should feel comfortable recommending you. (This can work offline as well, with designers you know locally.)

Also, don't limit your forum participation to design forums, post comments on business forums where your prospective clients hang out.

The extra links won't hurt and, in time, you may pick up a few freelance graphic design jobs.
