It depends..
Sometimes people can see your previous work and feel convinced to give out one for you..
You can use your proposal to secure a big and good web peoject

First 5? How about your very first?

What I did was do my very first one on the cheap. When that person was impressed, he told his friends. Those friends told their friends and the rest is history. Of course, as I gained more experience and popularity, my prices increased accordingly. And of course, depending on who it is or the features, my prices may also fluctuate accordingly too.

Good luck!

Hw did u get dat first one u did cheap?

Someone referred his friend to me. At the time, I didn't do freelance and actually kicked against the idea because I didn't want to deal with people's pallava. After a few calls and pleads, I reluctantly accepted. 8 years later, I look back on that day and tell peoople, "Everything happens for a reason. Never complain. Accept what's happening to you as God's will. You may not understand or appreciate it at the time but eventually, you will."

Wow thnks..am thinking about writting proposals to schools to organisations..is dat a good idea?

99.9% of my jobs have been via referrals. The one that wasn't was someone who found me via google. I have done the cold calling, hung fliers on office doors and written the proposals. They didn't work for me and so I have stuck with referrals, only writing proposals if I someone asks me to.

Note though that the above is specific to me. Results may vary with you. Good luck!
