I have to say though, that finding work is a skill of its own. You should setup a site, start posting all over the place, etc. You want to have a lot of channels to get work through, when you're starting out you'll have to spend more time looking for work than doing work. Also, get in touch with freelance professionals in your area. You can get a lot of business through referrals and the sale is so much easier when they've been referred from someone they trust. As others have said, WordPress themes. The market is crazy right now, go find a designer and partner with them to make themes. I found the whole niche by chance, I needed a designer for another project and saw on craigslist a designer looking for someone to create a theme from his designs for a new site in exchange for a free design. I replied, did the theme and setup his new site, then we started working together. I ended up dropping the other project once I saw the demand. Saving that free design for something else now. He's one of the best designers I've worked with, show him a few designs you like from his portfolio tell him a little bit about your company/project and he comes back with a stunning design in a day or two. A few days later I've got it turned into a WP theme. You can see his portfolio here: http://highendcustomlayouts.com/portfolio http://highendcustomlayouts.com/portfolio We're working on a RoR app to take PSD files and turn them into WP themes in about 5-15 minutes. Also, find a writer, if you can offer the whole package from copy to design to hosting it makes getting the deal that much easier. We're starting to get pretty busy with work doing this so if you drop me an email I might be able to hook you up with some work in the future.
