How to become a Freelance 3D Artist?

Question by CreativeSpark: How to become a Freelance 3D Artist?
I am beginning to start freelancing as a Computer Graphics Artist (Animation, 3D Modeling). I wanted to know if there were any reference material such as books, websites, and etc. that has some information on how to get started? I must emphasize I require information that is concise and doesn’t speak in broad generalizations.

How to create invoices/contracts?

How to advertise and market services?

Since many companies I would be working with are long distance what are the methods of payment?

Currently I have my portfolio online. Also capable of placing artwork on CD and VHS cassette if needed. In addition to applying for employment at some places, I have registered and/or posted my resume on many job sites. I am looking to get started as soon as possible.

If you want to make money online, go for freelancing jobs. The Internet has opened up many freelance opportunities, expanding markets and helping to build it into one of the largest economic segments for many economies. You dont need to pay to get the job. Development for freelancing has been especially high for software development, website design, information technology, and business documentation. Freelance practice varies greatly. Some require clients to sign written contractsbased on the perceived value of the results to the client. By custom, payment arrangements may be upfront, percentage upfront, or upon completion. For more complex projects, a contract may set a payment schedule based on milestones or outcomes.
