Freelancing is not easy. Designers out there are good and they are getting better every day, not to mention the up and coming talents who spring forth from the mist of anonymity daily. This leads me to believe that competition for jobs is more real than ever. What’s more, if you take a closer look at the css galleries, many designers portfolios are made up of the same work. Do not go that route. Create for yourself and promote yourself with your work.
