Advice for those getting started in the Web Industry?
gexla: Make a list of niche areas of development.  Find the communities for those areas and become an authority in those communities.  Make sure there are buyers in that community, or find another.  Take on work.For example.  Wordpress is a niche area.  There are lots of Wordpress communities.  Find the communities where people go to get help, share ideas and generally talk about development.  There are probably people posting paid projects there.  And that is your target.Wordpress is a pretty big niche with lots of buyers and sellers.  The problem is that those buyers can be anywhere from total jokers to people with deep pockets.  This happens with free stuff which is highly popular.A better opportunity is to find a niche that has relatively few service providers and lots of service consumers.  Even better is if that niche is paid software which is used by companies with lots of money.Big new platforms are big opportunities.  If you are an Iphone guru then you don't even have to post here asking how to find work.  There are probably few sure bets out there than Iphone development.
