A useful site: http://www.FreePatentsOnline.com

It provides free patent searching, free PDF downloading, allows annoting
documents and sharing them, and free alerts for new documents.

Good tips!

I think freelancers also need to be active in their communities and networks, both online and offline (Chamber of Commerce, local business group, etc.). Also, be heard and get noticed by offering to give tips or simply be a resource for local news organizations (tv, newspaper, etc.). If you’re new to the freelance world, maybe consider some ‘pro-bono’ work for a non-profit.

By the way, I would also add that if you’re a ColdFusion developer, you might also consider BlogCFC (http://blogcfc.riaforge.org/) as a viable (free) blog application option for those hosting their own sites/blogs.

Ok, my 2 cents have been spent now.
