I've decided to start looking for design and content writing work now that I have all of my sites updated into the new year and don't want to keep building. Craigslist, among other places, has been where I've been responding to ads. I find it's the same thing with people offering work. They want their work done for nothing, or for my "great benefit of adding their site to my portfolio."
So far I've had one solid gig after emailing at the very least 100 people from all over the country. That was for a $50 Ebay template, lol.
What type of sales person are you looking for? I use to sell lubricants (seriously) for a local oil company. It was one of my favorite positions. I traveled up and down New Jersey talking with people and taking orders all day long.
