Hey CP community - what are everyone's favorite freelancing resources? I really like the site www.freelanceswitch.com. Does anyone else have other suggestions?

Yeah, I like
Yeah, I like www.freelanceswitch.com as well. It doesn't only provide you with a job list but also get a lot of information that can help you with your freelancing career.
Aside from that nothing beats with you marketing yourself both online and offline. Build a strong network and in no time soon friends and family will start referring you. At least that's how i get my best clients.

Don't forget in-person freelance support
One "resource" you may not immediately term as such are organizations with local presences, such as AIGA and software user groups.
I'm not a freelancer, but I do work at home, so I know how isolating that can be if you don't counteract it. Going to local meetings with real people, not your virtual buddies, gives you an unmatched lift.
Plus, it's great for networking. I've seen freelancers discover that their neighbor has just the skills needed for a project they're about to bid on.
