Congrats! If you don't mind me asking, how do you come about your projects? Are you doing any self-marketing, or are you getting by with word-of-mouth?

  It started with a really non-serious posting of a profile to djangogigs.com which I posted well before I was really ready to go "pro"... which was almost forgotten about. But out of nowhere, an email came, an interview went well, and I got a 6 month gig that payed enough for me to quit my job. Since then, I've learned a ton, and kept the ball rolling, mostly through contacts from my previous career who heard I was doing web stuff now. Also, the original 6 month contract refuses to end...(not my fault!) I have yet to make a resume or a website... I really should. I feel very lucky.

    What type of clients are you looking for? Are you looking for more 6-month contracts with agencies, or one-time projects helping entrepreneurs build beta versions of their ideas? I ask because we're working on matchist.com (launching at the end of the summer) to help freelancers like yourself find quality work.

    Having good connections and strong relationships can be much more valuable than having a great website or resume.
