Advice please?

Hi.

I have a HND in Graphic Design.
It's been almost two years since I finished the course and I haven't done a thing with it!
I really want to do some freelance work and I realise now, I need to get out there...but what's the best way to get started?
I'm so stuck...it's a little depressing.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thankyou, Laura.

Hi Laurasaurus

Welcome to freelance forum.

I noticed that you have a blogspot page but would definitly reccommend getting your own website up and get it well tagged and as high up in such engines as possible. I'm not a web guru but found that having lots of external links to your website helps.

I wrote an article about how I started as a freelancer in Design Week which I put on my website which has a few tips. This isn't shameless piece of self promotion it's just a few people have said it was helpful and thought you might like it.

Most of all keep yourself motivated and avoid getting depressed!
