- 1). Network among business owners. Offer your services as a web content provider, social media account manager, graphic designer or other professional service related to website design and maintenance. Join a small business owners group in your area, and market you services to other members. Contact local professional service associations, and ask if you might speak at one of their meetings or events to offer your services. Target professional organizations that could use your particular skills. Be sure to bring business cards with you, and be ready to provide websites with examples of your work for reference.
- 2). Join an online freelance website such as ODesk, which is a site where freelance professionals find work from businesses that need their services. Many positions on ODesk are related to websites. Individual employers list jobs on ODesk, and a portion of the fee companies pay to contractors goes to ODesk. Other related freelancing sites include Guru, Programmingbids, and Virtual Worker. Be sure to thoroughly investigate any potential client to rule out the possibility of being scammed.
- 3). Network on websites geared to work-at-home professionals, like Work at Home Moms and Worldwide Work at Home. Join the message boards and forums where individuals who work from home talk about the particular field that you specialize in and about potential job leads. Post responses to other members of these sites and offer your professional guidance. Build a reputation as a helpful at-home website professional and others might be willing to reciprocate your efforts by providing insights they have learned in the field.
