What do I need to do to get a project?

[sumaiyakhatun27]

These are the questions that plague most young professionals around the world.
The easy and painless answer is that we live in difficult times for creative freelancers.
But is this true?
And if so, why do some have a lot of work, while others struggle to attract clients, to no avail?

This article was inspired by a question from a young American web designer in greece mobile database one of the Facebook groups for freelancers that I participate in.
The question she asked was the following:
“I’m trying to set up my own office, working as a freelance web designer.
So far I’ve had no success at all.
Could someone take a look at my website and give me their opinion?
I sent two offers last week and the answer was negative to both.”

What mistakes did the American freelancer make and how can she fix them?
