How do I become a Freelance Programmer/Developer

How do I become a Freelance Programmer/Developer?
I need an extra income and I was wondering if I can maybe try this freelance programming job. I've been an Oracle developer for more than 4 years now. Do you know which sites are credible enough to gain me a prospective client or maybe work with a team? Thanks for all your help!

Well go to this page on the site below and go to the heading of 'work at home job boards'. I have four listed there. They are legitimate job boards that have freelance jobs as you describe. They are not the bidding type freelance websites where you have to bid for a job. You may as well check out the rest of the site as it is for independent contractors/virtual assistants and it will be relevant to you as well.

This is actually a very nice question. I was also wondering the same thing. One nice freelancing site that i have found and used it www.odesk.com. The only problem is that you will find plenty of website designing jobs and etc but almost nothing related to Oracle database administration or development. If you do come up with something though, please pass it to me through email. I have just finished my Oracle 10g DBA and Oracle 9i Developer track certifications and I am having a hard time finding a job. I was thinking of maybe getting a freelance job online related to my qualifications. Any help would be appreciated.
