Hi all

I am a really experienced web developer (PHP, ASP, .NET VB) and have worked at various levels within the UK affiliate marketing area (6+ years) and looking at how to make use of my skills in Australia. Has anyone with similar experience come across and if so how did you do it?

I have a BSc Hons Information Systems Degree (2002) and am looking to apply for an Australian Skilled Visa with family sponsorship under the Developer programmer shortage skills list - does this sound possible?

If any migration agents are in the Melbourne / Victoria / Tasmania area and want to get in touch please do or if anyone has any contacts that would recommend please PM me.

Thanks in advance!

Hello,

Thank you for your precious time and suggestion. I think web design and website Marketing is a delicate balancing act.

If you want to do freelance these are the things you need to do:
1- you need to have proper web site to explain what you are doing and portfolio.
2- Find different web development forums and advice people that got problems in programming. Try to be honest and always try to help them as it is bringing you business.
3- you need to start communicating with different web design companies
4- find web sites like gumtree that you can advertise.

Thanks lot again

Did you manage to get something sorted? Affiliate marketing is a lot less prevalent in Oz at the moment, than it is in the UK - though growing.

Maybe you can get in early and set your own thing up? Noticed a few finance compare sites sprouting up now.
