Hey HN,<p>I'm currently a high school student who loves to program (self-taught) and has done quite a few programming projects. I'm currently in a bit of a financial deficit and am looking to start freelancing.<p>I've done a large amount of work with General C# programming, a decent amount of Unity Programming, a sizeable amount of ASP.NET web development, and a little bit of PHP and WordPress development.<p>Are there any specific places I should know of to look for freelance work relating to those technologies? Or any places that talk about how to get started freelancing?<p>Thanks, Folks,
Jacob
Get a LinkedIn. Build up a portfolio on a personal website. Hop on Fiverr and do some work there. Solicit on Craigslist or see what people are looking for. Don't let them take advantage of them, but charge a fair price.<p>Web Design will definitely be one of your strongest points, especially WordPress. The first website I ever did was for a charitable organization and I never charged them. I even hosted their website for about 6 years before they finally wanted their own web designer and host (they were located in another country, and I'm in the USA).<p>My second website was $250 and with each website and the demands that came with them, my price went up. I'm still relatively cheap in my pricing, charging anywhere from $500 - $1200 for non-custom work, and of course, custom work means touching of WordPress core code or theme code adds to the price.<p>Good business to get into... always keep learning. Keep this philosophy with all your clients:<p>"If you are fair with me, I will be fair with you. Here is my price."<p>It has always worked for me.<p>You can also get a few small websites under your belt and go around your neighborhood to local shops and ask them if they'd like a website. Good luck.<p>You can also get a shared host at a place like DreamHost ( <a href="http://www.dreamhost.com/r.cgi?1405127" rel="nofollow">http://www.dreamhost.com/r.cgi?1405127</a> ) and charge a couple bucks a month or for the year for hosting. I charge my clients $5 a month to host their websites. Not much, but it pays for your hosting and other services on there.
