    Hello. I really want to start a home-based Graphic's designer/Web designer job but have no clue where to look online for one.
    I do have alot of experience with Photoshop, i've been using it for over 2 years & i'd class myself as an advanced designer.
    All I'm really looking for is a job to do with graphic's/webdesign but don't ask for qualification's since i didnt get much, just a couple GCSE's.
    If anyone knows where to go, please post. Much appreciated!
    Thanks, Sarah.

    From the looks of it you already have started, make sure you have yourself a portfolio with samples, and post on sites like here and other sites like this, here (which you've done already) you can post your services and you can reply to other peoples posts who are asking for designers. Also try contests and stuff. Otherwise you are already on the right track.

    If you think you are good enough you can try 99designs but that's in kind of a contest format, freelancer.com, and even set up a deviantart account and peruse their job section.

    1. Start learning xhtml/css to be able to create templates from Your designs
    2. In the meantime start creating additional graphics like Icons/banners/business card etc. and try to upload them to portals like GraphicRiver - You can earn some money and develop Your design skill
    3. Buy domain, create a portfolio, create a proffessional CV
    4. start registering on portals like Odesk, getafreelancer etc. ( if You have a good portfolio then it will be much simplier and quicker to find a project/job )
    5. You're a freelancer :)

    5 simple steps, about 2 maybe 3 years of hard work and no one can guarantee that You'd be succesful - brutal truth IMO :)
