So do these jobs get you paid in 3 figures?

I can ‘only’ write. If people could earn by writing, everyone would have done it.

I don’t earn in three figures, but trust me… if I want to , I can. I just dont give enough time to it. One can easily earn 3-4k USD a month with freelancing but this, obviously, depends upon his field of expertise. I am talking about coding here.

If your english is damn good (which I know it is) and you want to earn good money from your articles, go visit: http://www.associatedcontent.com . They pay 3-4$ per article (about 400 words) which is quite good. It just depends upon how much time you give to it.

^ Thanks for the link.

And no, my English wont cut it. Most of the times I am thinking about what words should I say in a given scenario.

Revealing article, though.

I also agree freelancing is the real and quick way to earn but all cannot earn with free lancing as all may not know programming..

Read the post carefully. I said freelancing doesn’t just mean programming. You can freelance for anything. Google is your friend.

So, develop the necessary skills. You need to have some skills to earn money, be it real world or internet world.

Are the ‘coding’ projects that you’ve been doing, hard? For your level?

I mean you’ve probably acquainted with those skills after schools, say grade 10. So if that gave money, why didn’t everyone do it, everyone who knew how to code stuff.

Don’t enough people know about it?

@Bikalpa
There are all kinds of projects available. Some are difficult, some are not. I only bid on those, which I feel I can do.

Grade 10′s programming isn’t enough. They just introduce you to the basics. Also, no one ever got school’s programming in their head. Almost everyone used to rote learn the codes and write them in exams. I, on other hand, did everything spontaneously. Never studies for computers, seriously.

Even if they did learn, that is not at all enough. You have to learn much much more than that to be able to complete projects.

I mean someone who has learned after-grade-10 programming really well, can do those projects. If not by itself, then by spending some time on the internet and learning other programming languages and stuff.

Which effectively narrows down the number of people who can sustainably earn from freelancing.

I will try my luck with Associated Content after the exams but I doubt that its going to be as worth my time as a personal blog.

Yes, they can do. People learn by practicing. I’ve learnt so many things only after starting to work. Start with easy jobs and you would easily be able to take on difficult ones after a while.

Blogging is a good thing but if you get popular on associatedcontent, it’s better than blogging. Each one has its advantage and disadvantage. If you don’t want to be bothered about SEO, marketing, managing the blog, adsense things and all, AC is the right choice. Blog is something more than just articles, its a complete site and you have to become a webmaster to control it.

And how do they pay you? PayPal?

I read somewhere that it was US only.

Escrow is used in most of the freelance sites. They protect both employer and employee.

Paypal can also be used as an alternative.

I appreciate that you’re trying to help people make money online, but I think it’s kinda ironic since you haven’t made much money yourself.

I make all my money online, and I recommend against freelancing. Freelancing is just like having a job, except it’s lonelier and there’s no one else to blame when stuff goes wrong .

I suggest focusing more on work that you can perform once, and keep getting paid for forever. Trust me, you’ll be waaaay happier in the long run. Plus freelancers have to deal with clients.. gross..

I don’t check this email, but feel free to ask me any questions on Twitter. Good luck to you. I think you have the right intentions. Don’t give up, you’re probably closer than you realize. -dan

Thanks for your comments. Yes, there are tons of methods to earn online, but freelancing is easier of them all. Some people just can’t find success in other methods. Some methods require initial hard-work, which many people (including me) are unable to give in.

Money is not the only thing which you gain by freelancing. You also get skills, experience, expertise in that particular field. So, you can also get real job with those skills, in case you no longer want to earn online.

I am following you. I’ll surely need to learn some tips from you

You’re totally right. Freelancing is a great place to start. Especially if you’ve acquired some theoretical knowledge, working on clients’ projects is a great way to test your knowledge in the real world.

For me, I eventually got tired of taking clients. I was an SEO consultant, so finally I started working on optimizing my own sites instead of taking clients.

Yes, it takes time to learn new skills. But that time is gonna pass by whether you learn the new skills or not. Take an hour per night, and learn something new that really excites you. You’ll wake up in a couple years and realize that you’ve acquired new marketable skills in a field that you’re passionate about. It doesn’t get any better than that talk soon!

Great. And I saw that you didn’t need a job since 2006.
Well done and keep it up.
