How to get a full-time freelance web developer/programmer job



How to get a full-time freelance web developer/programmer job ?
Hi, I've been doing freelance writing for quite awhile but I'm actually interested in becoming a web designer or a software developer. Being a self-taught programmer, it is hard for me to get regular jobs. Another problem is that I do not have a portfolio. I developed my own guitar tutorial website which required Javascript, PHP, MySQL etc skills and made a J2me app that only sold 7 copies in 2 months. My current skill set is VB, C++, Perl, Java/J2me, HTML, CSS, Javascript, PHP and MySQL . I don't know what to do, should I finish making a portfolio website(again, there is not much to show) or keep bidding like crazy in the freelance job sites ? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks. :)
