    Need freelancing mentor - contracts, finding clients, business side of things?

    I just graduated and am plunging into the world of freelancing soon. I've been training at the art side of things the past few years, but I know little about the bussiness side.

    Where to find more clients, how to flind bgiger clients. (businesses) (I've a few ways already but probably missing a lot of things)
    How to find and setup contracts, how to make sure I don't get ripped off -- dealing with money, what kindof rates should I go for? (!)

    You get the general idea! Some info , links, or even a mentor (someone I can bombard with questions) on this part of the freelancing world would be immensly helpful as it is fairly intimidating for me at this point.

    Here is some of my works -

    Purchase the Graphic Artist's Guild Handbook of Pricing and Ethical Guidelines. Make sure to get the most recent edition. It will help you figure out pricing and approaching jobs etc.
