Default Designing vBulletin Forums?

I am interested in designing graphics and layouts for vbulletin for money. I have a semi impressive portfolio(2 vBulletin styles at my website)so far and don't know where I can advertise my services.

I am not sure where to show off my work and get some potential clients, and am wondering if there is a resource where I can do so?

The best free method of advertising is community involvement. Place a link to your site or portfolio in your signature and then make a strong effort to provide a helping hand. It is a good chance that the people you help out will eventually help you out by giving you business. It may seem like you are working for free at times, but in the beginning it is crutial to go above and beyond. Finish each job 100% or even 110% so your customers have a good taste in their mouth. The worth thing that can possibly happen a bad reputation.

So basically, build up your portfolio, get involved, include signature links, and create a user friendly web site. Nothing complicated. Should be 1 click to view your portfolio. There are several designers around here that have excellent sites. Don't steal, but use their ideas.

tgillespie covered anything I would have said. Make your own style website with your portfolio, pricing, etc. And make sure you check the Service Request forums here and at vBulletin.org for potential customers. Offer your services there.

There are a few nice places to maybe rent space for a banner, theadminzone.com is one of them, banner ads system will help alot of income if you after that. But like the others have said, in sigs is always a good place.
