    It may be because you are not competitive in the prices? Or that your advertising skillz are not good enough? There are tons of possible reasons why you do not get any work...

    Many buyers look for reputation while selecting the service provider; if you don't have a reputation, even low price won't help. Also joining MANY freelance sites doesn't help because it takes time and effort just to monitor these.

    Best approach :

    Start with webmaster forums or exchanges; DP's buy sell services forum is a neat place, many others.

    You may have to initially offer a few freebies or low priced services so that people can try out; insist that they must provide feedback in return.

    Once you have good feedback, you can start with better pricing here, and build up a reputation.

    Also find one or two freelance sites that have many jobs of the type you can do; register there, and refer to your DP reputation while making offers. You may have to try many times before getting your first breakthru, but it will come.

    My suggestions: create your own sites about SEO or PHP , SEOd it, then monetize it using adsense or other stuff. Otherwise, you can sell it in Buy-Sell-Trade DP forums.

    Just throw an idea here :)

    Wish u luck...

    You can also get work via craigslist.. they list quite a bit of jobs daily. (depending on the popularity of the city)

    Your post wasn't too clear either.

    The original poster suggested that you check out Craigslist for freelance work. Look for the job listings for the city/country that you live in.

    It also depends where you're from and how much money is good enough for you. I have people in United States bid $1000 for a project that a programmer in India did for me for $200.
