Recession? Not for me – How to make hundreds freelancing
I’m 15. I shouldn’t have a job right now, firstly because I don’t have a job license and secondly, because I’m too young, yet I have managed to make hundreds of dollars with just a few hours of my time, oh and I do it ALL from home.
There are hundreds of ways to make money, some people choose to work at a job in which you have to wake up every single day at the same hour, then drive a half an hour to work and finally when you get there you are required to work non stop until your 10 minute break and then you begin working again. On the other hand, there are people who have the option to wake up at 5:00 AM, 12:00 PM, or whenever they please, because they work for themselves.
I have two main sources of income; My websites and my freelancing work. The websites pay the main bills, phone, hosting, etc. I don’t ever have to worry about paying a phone bill or running out of money to keep the websites up and running because my websites alone take care of it. The websites make money of the Ads that I sell to companies that want to target my readers and reach out to them to buy the products or services the company sells.
Furthermore, my freelancing work takes care of the extra stuff that I feel like buying. Maybe I just saw a new Hoodie that I want to get, all I need to do is log in to my freelancing site account, search for a few projects, submit my application to the business owner and begin working. These projects don’t take too long to complete, usually it’s writing a 50 page report which usually pays about 250 dollars and takes only about 5 hours to complete, with a deadline of about a week. That means that I can get paid about 50 bucks an hour. That’s more than some teachers make.
I only do freelancing on my free time because school often gets on my way. But imagine if I were to do this full time. I could potentially make thousands of dollars in a week. And no, these are not just wild theories, there are hundreds of people that make a living on the internet, one of the most remarkable freelancers is Christian Ross, he has made enough money freelancing that he even bought a house and now has a website about freelancing.
You don’t really need any skills to freelance, all you need to do is to buy a couple of books and spend a day studying, if you want to become an expert in websites then buy an HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and PHP book. If you want to write, then simply apply for a job and if you are accepted, begin writing, who knows, maybe you’ll turn out to be a great writer! It never hurts to try.
Here are some freelancing websites to begin freelancing.

If you want to learn how to create your very own website, here is a tutorial which I wrote a while ago that you can use to begin your very own site.
Thank you Julian, for the featured picture.
I used to freelance but stopped, I think I am going to begin designing again thanks for the post.
lol I like the title. Interesting idea. I hadn’t thought of doing free lance reports. Which of those sites have you used? Or have you used all of them? A 50$ hourly wage you can’t argue with. It’s great to see you posting again. I saw on an old blog post recently, that you have a forum on here? I don’t see it… Is that still around?

Thanks for telling me about your site, I think I will make my own website, you mind shooting me a few tips?
That’s pretty good to be able to write 10 pages per hour. I know a lot of people simply do not have that level of motivation. However if you can actually crank out good quality material that quickly… then it sounds like a pretty awesome deal to me!

I stopped freelancing coz instead of devoting time to please the clients,I wanted to start my own websites way back in 2007 and slowly the network of websites I own started to develop and now I make couple of dollars every hour without the need to spend my time online..
