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.gardenstew.com is an active forum with active members and may be someone has some experience working as a freelance web designer. May be "The Village Square" 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.

Although the real estate market is down, I know a lot of realtors have web pages that are created/updated by independent web-designers. If you are into photography it could also be helpful but not necessary. Networking through friends, networking groups, Chamber of Commerce, Facebook, etc. might be helpful for knowledgeable info.
