Creation of sites, as well as promotion of sites is one of the most lucrative works in the Internet. In my experience I can say that the customer does not find this too difficult work. Earnings can be quite decent. At least, take special courses and learn how to create professional sites in order to become a freelancer (to the employee himself) is the point. Skills like designing and coding and brining a twist in the website are some of the skills of website designers.

In the Internet every day there are thousands of new sites. The lion’s share of these sites belongs to the so-called “small” business. The “small business” give a sea of web designers, web – programmers and other IT-specialists working opportunity. Hiring their own full time IT-specialists by these firms cannot be afforded so they are always for a looks for professional, talented and low cost IT-specialists and their services.

All of this means that if you are able to do high quality sites and are prepared to work for less money than the studio web-design, you can get a lot of work.
With access to the Internet, you can equally well work for Russian customers or any one world-wide, as long as you have the speaking and dealing skills. That is what I am doing. A serious problem could be the language barrier, but if you choose to work for international clients be prepared to deal with such problems.

Average site (again – for “small” business) ranges from $100 to $500 depending on the quality of design and additional services. Go to Yahoo.com and do a search on the phrase Small Business web design – you will get a list of links to companies involved in developing websites for small businesses. Review these sites and determine how much of their rates could cost your job (i.e. the quality of design that you can provide). This is their price for such work. Reduce it by 30%, and a potential customer would be good reason to hire you, and not a reputed company with a bigger portfolio. The small business file hiring you will be much more profitable to pay you 300 USD, than the firm in the United States 500 USD. Do not underestimate the value too.

To be precise, there are two ways to determine the value of the site – the number of hours needed to create the site (hourly), and piece rates, when you immediately call the customer the cost of works. Work with the one better for you.

Make 4 – 5 sites per month and you’ll earn much more than sitting in some firms. If we talk about me – I have been doing this job about 4 years and my income varies from $600 to $1500 month. Naturally, it would be naive to think that such income can be achieved quickly – it took me much time and effort to build bridges with the host providers, design firms (give me a case of too heavy load of their orders). Now I already have a number of regular customers, they just know my capabilities and needs and are willing to work with me.
