I quit programming couple of days ago, computer addiction is a nasty and unhealthy activity. I went back to my old self, the 17 year old normal guy, loves sports, and is more social (Sounds corny, but I am Serious). I made aloooot of money with programming, I think more then 20 grand last year....

 

Anyways I am proud of learning it, but its time to stop.

 

edit: My last client wants a porn site, what a way to end my side job.

Its really hard to believe how easy you can earn money with php... The way I started was www.getafreelancer.com, and then I got recognized by many people, and I was recommended alot. I made so much money one month, my dad didn't work for weeks... He was actually a programmer back in his days, learning language c, visual basics...etc

 

I bought my first hot car because of the money i saved up... Its a Acura RSX

 

 

haha, my dream was to create the next operating system like windows xp, mac..etc *dream tears apart*

OOh, thanks for the tips. I'm working on my site and when I'm done with everything I may throw it up somewhere. Making some serious money is the only way I'll be able to afford a a hot car.

 

How many clients did you have at once, and is it demanding?

 

And those are some high aspirations, but that'd be an amazing accomplishment.

I got 3 - 5 clients a week, sometimes 2, sometimes 1....

 

Try to stick with small projects with a budget in range of 50 - 200$ then work your way up. The jobs are pretty demanding if you have school, a job, a family, a wife (women *eye roll*) ,homework...etc. I got by all those because i made a schedual or i usually finished homework at school.

 

Although if I needed a pair of new shoes, new ward drobe, an ipod...etc I would just call some of my clients who had more work for me, and I found myself with what I wanted in the next couple of hours. If your a fast thinker, worker, and gots a flexible working time, then it will be to your great advantage.

 

Good luck :)

I find myself to be a fast worker, but I'm too maticulous for my own good. I see what your saying, and I think at the moment I could handle some smaller jobs. Although, I go to tough little private school in my state and lately it has been taking up too much of my time  :-\

 

I think if I planned it out, I could potentially stay on top of things. Although friends and the social life (reason why you stopped) would certainly take a toll, but I think I could manage that.

 

Can you explain to me what a "$50-$200" is? I'm thinking of a simple login-script, with specific user capablites, a simple DB, few tables, and a few pages to display whatever the user wants. Maybe a day or twos worth of work?

 

You've really got me interested. I've been picking up the pace, I want something to display soon. I'm thinking this summer will be different  :D

 

Thanks.
