My first BIG projects - $8000

    I've just done my first two big freelance projects - $8000 for three weeks. I've done small projects before, but now I can see a good income.
    *So proud* I had to share the news :D

    By the way, does anyone know of a good tool to use with freelance work, for invoices? The one I'm using now is not good.

    Do you mind showing some insight on what type of work? Must be a full time job?

    Actually, I came across the one job from getafreelancer.com. I usually only get small projects here, but this time I got lucky. The other I got from someone I've done some previous projects for.

    Good for you. Glad to hear about the projects. Quickbooks is great for keeping up with your money for taxes, ect. A lot of businesses use this.

    Yes, I am also a freelancer, and use QUICK BOOKs to generate the invoice.
    They have a free version as well. But i work with an online version. And the great part of it is: You can charge your Client Credit Card using that. ENJOY!

    Don't think I could do that, solid boring work! Good bit of cash though mate, I bet it was a nice motivator. Just shows how many different ways you can make money.

    Great news 2 see someone advance in Freelance as it is hard to get people to choose you over other more experienced people as you need those comments and ratings.
