I need an advice

Hello!
I’m new here. I’ve been browsing tons of forums for an idea of what to do. I was laid off from my job about 3 month ago. I’ve been looking for a job since then, but did not even get a single interview. I worked as a web designer for a publishing company for the last 5 years. Looks like
www.askaboutvalidation.com
is an active forum with active members and may be someone has some experience working as a freelance web designer. May be “GVP - GOOD VALIDATION PRACTICE” category is not the most appropriate for this question, but I want to try anyways to get some opinions before I go ahead with my life. I’m wondering if it is possible in the current economy to find work for a freelance web designer and make enough to pay for rent and groceries. I was able to find a small project on craigslist and I developed a website for a company. It was a small project and took me only a week to complete. I got paid $800 for 1 week of work which is not bad. Please people give me some ideas. I have 2 kids and my wife is out of work as well. Thank you in advance.

Guess you just have to open up more of yr contacts in this freelance and they be aware of yr service. Any free website of yours? Try even other foreign markets as I guess there is still opportunity in there. Best luck.
