So far has been pretty good, the job amount and the income has growth proportionally, what some months before appear only to be a extra income solution taking $15 and $20 projects is now become my main source of income with bigger projects and bigger budgets.
The future looks very promising, having even stronger relationship with my recurrent customers (You know who you are
); right now I have a great amount of interesting projects and more yet to come, and of course my personal projects are on track and getting some speed.
Months ago when I finish my service has a SUN University representative, I was very nervous about my source of income and what it was going to happen with my future, at least my immediate future; then I remember a website that I had seen some time ago www.scriptlance.com the idea of working as an independant programmer/designer has been always appealing to me but until that moment never had any real reason nor time to try it.
So I subscribed to Scriptlance and start bidding on projects, it was and still is a very interesting process. At first you have to start taking small projects to start making a ranking inside this bidding websites, many times this process its not easy and can take a while, fourtunetly I didn’t had much trouble and after some small I was ready to start taking more serious projects.
At first I was not making much money, but as time pass and the clients keep getting back with new and interesting proposals(and bigger budgets, of course ) I’m now at the start of a much more stable economic situation.
Although for me the real and important aspect of freelancing is not the money but the time, thats right the time; the control and flexibility that you have when you are working as a freelancer, the incredible oportunity to work where ever you want as long a internet connection is present and in some cases when its not and the opportunity to work and know people from all over the world.
