Question

What could I expect to earn, if anything, if I worked from home?

Answer 1

My sister has works at home as a web designer, making very good money. I believe she is experienced in some of those programs. She makes 90K a year. She started by doing small jobs, programs, invitations, lettering and it just took off! Alot by word of mouth, she did some advertising but not much.

Good Luck!!

Here's some reasons most people cannot work from home as freelance consultants:



1. You can program, administer a network, and administer a database, but that doesn't mean you can sell yourself. Consulting companies have sales staff whose full time job is to market you to clients. They're good at it. It's what they do.



2. You're private individual, not a company, so you lack the same enterprise-level reputation that a company comes with. Potential clients will be leery of your ability to put enough resources into the project and to secure additional resources if needed.



3. Insurance. So, you install your code or network hardware or DB design and everything takes a crap (let's face it, it happens) and the company loses $25,000 in revenue before it's back up. They file suit. What happens then?



4. What happens when the clients want to take a look at your operation before signing up? Are you going to show them around your living room and home office?



5. Competition. There's someone in India with that exact same resume who will do it for $15/hour. Or some 13-year-old that will do it for a flat $100.



I'm not trying to discourage you, but just be aware of those things. The number one hurdle to overcome is being able to market and sell yourself and your skill set.
