    Also Scriptlance.com is really good as well. With your skillset you should have no problem finding decent work. Just watch out for the basic graphic/web design jobs. The 14 year olds come in and post a bid for 10 bucks and wipe everyone else out..

    Wow thanks for the nice, warm welcome. :eek: I didn't mean "logos and banners" I met entire websites. By "basic" I met not very much hardcore programming involved...jeez man. Go back to bed.

    If youre good in photoshop, you can also sell uncoded web templates like wordpress and proxy templates. Check the template section under buy and sell for the prices.

    I have the experience of 4 years in this field. i am not greedy .It is reasonable .

    If others can do , then why cant i?

    Onemorething , It is not very easy to get a project from freelancer.com .It involves a lot of luck for the project ..

    If the lowest bid is 30$ in the freelancer site , there are atleast 10-20 bids for that amount , So it is not easy to get that..

    I will try for the templates .Thank you man ..
    More replies are welcome

    As other members recommended, and to be honest go ahead and try scriptlance.com you will for sure get a couple of jobs, or you could try your luck here in DP at the BST section.

    Good Luck. :)

    If you have decent skill in ASP.net,VB.net,PHP/mysql,c,c++,Photoshop, you can easily earn $20/hours. I do graphic and web designs and I take no less than $20 an hour and each project I earn $500-$1500 or more if it's an on going. Don't listen to people who says "charge $20-$100" for a job, you're just selling yourself cheap. Plus they are from some other country, $1 dollar is like $10 to them.

    I make good connection in the company I'm in right now so I get projects from big companies. In real life to make yourself on top, beside the experience you need good connections.

    If you keep looking for jobs online there's always someone charging less. Jobs online are a good way to start for beginners.

    villan, are you living in west/usa ? Then just apply for normal usual job, LOOOT of them will pay $20 per hour if not more.

    If not, then you must be really really good and have luck.

    You said that you have 4 years of experience. Hmm..I assume some long-term clients also go hand in hand with it. Am I right ? It's kinda strange if not.
