If you have any programming skills, there is a huge demand
for quality programmers. It can be
incredibly difficult to find an honest, reliable freelance programmer who will
complete a job on time, do quality work, and won’t run off with your money, so
there’s plenty of room for you to step in and get work.
Good programmers can get paid by the hour or by the
job. It’s probably better for you
personally to charge by the hour in case you run across a picky client who
wants endless changes, but some people may want a firm quote based on the job
Programming is very skilled work, so you can make a bit more
for it than for writing or design. Just
be aware that you will be competing with freelancers from around the world, and
some of them may have less living expenses than you do
