1. This is considered spam.

2. You'll never get work that way even if it wasn't. You have not bothered to discuss what kind of work you do and what you can do for someone else that they should be compelled to spend money on your services. Your post is all about how you, who none of us knows from Adam or Eve because you couldn't be bothered to share a link to your portfolio, need work. Yeah, well, so do a lot of people. Good luck with that, because your need for work is not a potential customer's problem.

Harsh, but there it is, from someone with 20+ years in publishing who is a freelancer on the editorial side. You need to learn how to market your work. Start by Googling "how to market freelance."

Thank you for your words,
i understand what you mean...but i can see that you don't understand me?
1. Basically, this is not a spam. We live in free word, so i can ask other people what they think about something or what they need, f.e. graphic designer

2. I can get a work and you are wrong. I only ask, if someone will be interested about that what i write he will write me back priv message. You can see, that i do not put my websites link or any information, so it is not a spam. If someone want to see my portfolio, of course i will show him

Who are you? Do you think you are a God or a master Yoda? Why you write things like that. If you don't like it..do not read it. Freelancer is a free person work for people he/she wants to work for, check it in Google by the way, writing about google, you already use a spam, how are you feeling now?

You are spamming, this forum is to discuss job issues and not to troll for jobs.

Clearly English is not their first language.

advice: Start by contacting creative staffing agencies, then by sending out resumes with links to an online portfolio to all the local advertising and marketing agencies. Then follow up with a phone call.
