How to get work?
New to this, infact new to the design industry.I am self taught in packages like photoshop flash illustrator and after effects.I have been making stuff as an enthusiast for a long time but have never got any serious work.Am at the point where I want to use the skills I've learnt commercialy but don't know how to go about getting clients.Am actualy building a site but my folio will contain only personal stuff, I really need to get some proper work there

Without industry experience the leads and the confidence in your abilities will hamper you. Have you thought about getting a permie job in this field for a few years to give you the knowledge and confidence a freelancer needs?
You are doing the right things to land a permie job, your enthusiasm and desire to do the work will land you a job. A few bits for friends and family will get you a job and then taking on freelance work while in employment will get you to the stage where freelancing in your chosen field becomes a lot easier.
