>>4980652I do freelance web development. Living in an area where it is a huge industry. Huge firms take the government contracts that pay out the ass, I live off the crumbs. They happen to be huge crumbs.
I set up an LLC, made my website look like a big, respectable firm, and operate under that. I'm the only employee, so far.
Pays ridiculous amounts, this month I took five contracts for simple business pages at 4-6k each, plus finished one big contract at 25k.
If it takes me two days to finish a project, I'll tell them it will take like 4 weeks. Lets me do everything on my own time when I want. I take somewhere from 33-50% upfront and the rest on completion.
Made around 80k so far this year. My next plan is to hire devs and salespeople as contractors to do the work for me, so I can sit on my ass and get paid. Looking to get into app development soon as well.
