Ask HN: PHP Freelancers.
Are there any PHP or wordpress freelancers out there or developers? I would like some advice.
Is the job market lucrative for a PHP coder? or Wordpress developer? is the pay worth it? I'm getting into PHP and would like some advice on it please and thank you.
- pixeloution 12y agoBeing a Freelancer often has more to do with your marketing and sales skills than your skills as a programmer. The question you should be asking is "Do I want to run a business?" That's what you'll be doing. You'll be finding clients, bidding projects, keeping those clients happy AND producing the deliverable. Its not easy but it can be quite rewarding both financially and mentally if you have the skills for it. I flew solo for 7 years and while I wouldn't take back the experience, I also wouldn't do it again. I prefer working for MegaCorp where I write code, mentor other developers, and generally have less to worry about.
