      You can get work for $10 an hour if you can really STAND OUT among the thousands of other freelancers.

        Yeah, those marketplaces suck.

          Expect to do work for $1 or $2 an hour. Way too many fake freelancers out there and they really devalue everyone.

          Much like the IT market at large.

              I went into it with the idea that I can name my price, essentially. Right now, it's just extra income for me, so if folks want to hire the $1 or $2 an hour guys, I'm ok with that. If they want to hire me, despite the fact I'm a little more expensive, that's fine too.

                What are your rates? I found that even a low rate like $40 an hour is in the top 5% of what freelancers charge on those sites.

                  That's probably true for the industry in general, as well.

                    I run about $35, I think. I don't find that bit surprising at all. There's all kinds of jobs available, and if somebody isn't willing to pay me what I ask for my time, then I wish them well and hope they find someone who can.

                      @scottalanmiller I feel its hard to bid on projects on such websites.

                        Freelancer.com, and Upwork.com are two that come to mind.

                        Whats the best way to bid for projects here.

                          This sounds great. Any tips to STAND OUT?

                            I simply bid what I'd do the project for. If they don't want to pay it. *shrugs*.
