Any Indian who makes his living online ?

I am an Indian and am full time webmaster/online marketer. Yes, I make money online to fully support myself.
You need inspiration, this can be that.

I was a programmer also around 4 years back, when I left my job and started my web development company. I am happy I did that.

 

Ok but that means you have employees working for you, that doesn't count. So can you compare you and 5 employees in marketing to you and 5 employees consulting as programmers?

 

I would rather spend my time studying and getting an MBA rather than working my ass off online for peanuts.

FYI, an MBA earns _atleast_ $1500 a month, and they don't work their asses off for that unlike other BS/BSc/BE grads or internet marketers.

 

I work for my company as well and work alone as well. I have my blog where I blog about my findings (and not of the company).

 

For Programmers in India they always pay less than $500...

You can easy make $500 within 10 days in online without investing any thing except your time

 

Nice to see a honourable man posting here You are an icon for others here

 

That is surely not true. I used to get paid around $1500 three years back as a kernel programmer at VERITAS India office.

 

Wow and still u quit the job , wonder how much u make now

 

An average computer science graduate from any IIT institutes would get around $1000+/month for sure as a programmer.

 

jhn2001, just read his signature, you will be surprised.

"For Programmers in India they always pay less than $500..." True. 5 years ago. Today even starters get more.

 

I am not an IIT GRADUATE
BTW company likes Infosys,IBM,SATYAM AND OTHERS WHERE MY FRNDS GOT PLACED THEIR STARTING INCOME IS NOT MORE THAN 550$

 

Then, if money is important, can they ask more qualified people in this companies about income ? If it's with rules of course. If not and raise will not come soon if ever just fuck these IBM etc. and go to firm where salary is important part.

I am from Ukraine, we have very similar economic situation with India. Find here programmer who will work for $550 in nowadays like a win a lottery

 

For me personally, I would focus on learning the high paying technology such as Java or .Net. Online marketing has many ups and down and it is difficult for me to base my entire living upon it. So I do it part-time and that has worked well for me. It is not easy by any means and you'll need to sacrifice a lot of sleepless nights working on your methods.

 

The worst part is that they make them work from 8 to 12 hours a day But again if you were an programmer initially and then u stepped to marketing then it will be really profitable.,

programing+marketing=$$$$$$$$ Deadly combination

 

12 hours ? That is really shit. 8 hours a day / 5 day a week is a standart everywhere. Don't be too soft with this guys, maybe it's time for lawsuit ?

I am not sure programming help a lot, at least you can hire people from time to time and there are many ready made things, in the end PHP is not so hard language, but it helps to be knowledgable that's for sure.

 

jhn2001, as soon as i read your thread looking for inspiration from an indian netrepreneur, the person who came to my mind was Jim Karter.

Take the time to read Jim Karter's blog and you'll be amazed you much he's making and the ideas he shares on his blog

 

I am not an indian for starters , a close neighbour
I know a great number of people having great sites and making a good amount of money as any other having that category anywhere in the world , all it needs is hard work and skill.

Ace.

 

But Java is a very mature platform. For a newb maybe .NET might work but if a nube learns java who would hire them?

 

Nice blog may be someday i can become like him

 

Why is it a deadly combination, what is the link between the two?
