I've been working as a freelance editor for a few years. I used to live in Venezuela, but since October I've moved to Spain. I set up a website: www.carlosopitz.jimdo.com and I've gotten some occasional small to tiny gigs (being paid 150€ tops). I am looking for some advice you can give me to help myself gain some notoriety in a big city market (in this case Madrid), what kind of strategies might work or that are recommendable. I'm 26 and I'm full of enthusiasm but I'm really looking forward to be able to obtain a more stable income of money.
I've put my website on some craigslist-like sites here in Madrid, and I've also pasted some physical ads on a couple of cinephile oriented places... Do you think it could be a good idea to send unsolicited cover letters or demo reels to production facilities?
If u can take a look at my website and watch my demo-reel I'd love to hear your criticisms/opinions both about it and my website.
THANKS
cheers,
Carlos
