I don't where you are located, but in the US, $35/hr as a contractor is absurdly low. Your take home is closer to half of that after you consider all of your tax implications.
- keviv 10y agoThat's true. I'm in India and I pay 30% of that as taxes. So, basically I make $24.5 dollars after taxes. I usually charge $50-60 an hour for PHP work and I charged $80 an hour for a small ReactJS project last month. The only problem is I don't know where to find clients.
- fightfortheuser 10y agoI suggest you invest in yourself, and learn how to find clients. There's plenty of free info on doubleyourfreelancing.com, and I'd start diving into the blog articles there. And if you want to invest in yourself, I wrote a course that you could take and it has a whole module on finding more clients. Don't feel pressured to spend any money, but I think it's pretty solid, and you can check it out here: http://freelance-college.teachable.com/p/freelance-college-what-you-need-to-know-about-starting-to-freelance/ http://freelance-college.teachable.com/p/freelance-college-w... At the very least I have some lessons that you can preview in full for free (just scroll to the bottom).
- keviv 10y agoCool. I'll check it out.
