    That was my suggestion - get a job rather than coping with the uncertainty of freelance

    Have you tried fiverr?
    Now before you say "I can't live on $5 jobs", which is quite true, think about how you can maximize your income from fiverr. With your skills and knowledge, you should be able to kill it providing services. So many people are searching for that sort of help. I know, because I have gone searching for that sort of help four times in the last two months.
    On fiverr, the best way to maximize your income, I reckon anyway :), is to offer your gigs as multiples. Sorry, not very clear. What I mean is, $5 for one gig that takes you less than 15 minutes. 2 gigs @ $5 if the problem will take 30 minutes. 4 gigs @ $5 if it will take you an hour.
    Seriously, the people searching on fiverr for php/sql will love you for helping them solve their problems. They will leave you GREAT reviews (providing you do the job well), and they will tell their friends. You will be so busy making money you may have to hire help! LOL!
    Just my two cents worth. Best of luck bm4web. Your skills are awesome, man!

    This question seems to be asked over and over. How can I make money online?
    If you have skills why not go to Odesk or Elance or Warrior Forum and sign in at Warriors for hire. you could also sign up for Fiverr just doing logos for people for $5.

    its better to sell themes and plugins, you can make much much more money on the internet selling thousands of $20-30 copies than making one site for $500-1000 for a client and there is so much competition going on.

    sign up on themeforest and make a theme or plugin (wordpress makes the highest sales), you can also ask for help there.
