Due to the fact I want to pursue freelance work along side my wish to work at a studio I need to discover the right way to get said freelance work. There are a couple of ways I can do this, one being keeping an eye on certain freelance websites, some of which I have become a member of to get alerts of when appropriate work becomes available. this includes:
Peopleperhour
This is quite a simple website where you can select a brief that is most appropriate, the only issue I have with this website is that a lot of the briefs are a little too brief, I know they are meant to be succinct, but some are very short along the lines of "i need a logo animating" with very little follow up information.
Freelancer
This is a paid service. You enter in your skills and it shows you various jobs corresponding to your skill range. the process of applying is that you place a bid and the poster of the job then contacts the their favourite bidder to then discuss moving forward.
As well as being on these lists that notify me of work available, I also need to be pro active and search myself by using another way of finding freelance work. This will mainly involve checking LinkedIn for appropriate work and also a website called Indeed.
My only gripe with this method is that it seems so unsure, if there are no jobs then there are no jobs! and even if there are I might not be selected to do it. This is my main reasoning for wanting to work in a studio to have peace of mind in a secure job.
