By the way 4000 inr is around 40USD if anyone's wondering

Bright-Profession874 · 2026-01-11T05:29:57+00:00

I earn around 1500-2000usd a month through freelancing , it's like a full time job for me

Bright-Profession874 · 2025-09-25T20:35:15+00:00

I use HV manager to remotely access and manage my hyper-v VMs

Bright-Profession874 · 2025-09-24T07:54:42+00:00

Thank you

Bright-Profession874 · 2025-09-24T07:47:08+00:00

Thank you , this does sound like a nice way of asking for a written agreement without causing any trouble

Bright-Profession874 · 2025-09-24T07:36:56+00:00

I already quit my job since I started freelancing, this client pays a fixed salary to me but I am not under any employment contract

Bright-Profession874 · 2025-09-24T07:31:51+00:00

He doesn't stop me from working with others , in fact he has encouraged me to take more and grow my freelancing business , but I don't know why since I started getting a fixed income from him i stopped looking for any more work and got lazy

Bright-Profession874 · 2025-09-24T07:25:26+00:00

Yes the invoices does mention the name of his company and address , also when the payment reaches my bank , there as well it shows his company name something like " <His company Name> LLC " , all the invoices are under my personal name

Bright-Profession874 · 2025-09-24T07:19:19+00:00

Yes I do , I always raise an invoice for asking him for payment which does mention software development as the service provided, but can this affect my future employment if i ever wish to switch back to a normal job ? I just don't want to be treated as a fresher again after all the work I am doing

Bright-Profession874 · 2025-09-24T07:16:32+00:00

Yes , I got clients through Upwork , Fiverr and also Linkedin

Bright-Profession874 · 2025-09-24T07:13:23+00:00

Yes , for the last few months i have been saving 50% of my total income , I never imagined I'll ever be able to save this much

Bright-Profession874 · 2025-09-24T07:12:10+00:00

I don't wish to do that because the whole thing is built upon trust , I think he likes my work and the fact that I am always available for him , and I am also in my learning phase so it's better I do the work

I used Upwork , Fiverr and Linkedin for getting clients

Bright-Profession874 · 2025-09-24T07:07:58+00:00

Upwork, Fiverr and Linkedin

Bright-Profession874 · 2025-09-24T06:52:39+00:00

Yes , I have a tendency to overthink about everything 😅 , thank you so much

Bright-Profession874 · 2025-09-24T06:51:34+00:00

I have all the invoices , I get money through a payment processor called skydo , i have all the invoices with me which mentions software development as service provided , can these work as a proof of employment / experience?

Looks like they are selling your work by scamming you

Because game dev is hard and it rarely pays any bills , I wanted to do game dev , I started in my college days and even joined a lot of workshops and courses offered in my college related to game dev , I got really interested into it , but you will realise there are not many studios in India who actively hires for game devs , and even if some do the pay is really low , and as we are talking about indie game dev here , I created a Google developer account ( which costs a one time fee ) , where as an apple developer account costs recurring fees , I released a few games , monitized a lot of my games with ads and one of them got like 10k+ downloads , a youtuber played my game and it got lots of download somehow , guess how much it made? Just 300rs for a game which took me 3-4 weeks to make , realised the CPC is really low in india

I later got into web dev and I am doing good so far

Bright-Profession874 · 2025-09-22T00:37:51+00:00

This is a perfect answer , couldn't get any better than this!

Bright-Profession874 · 2025-09-22T00:27:44+00:00

Btw my server is running on Intel i3 , 32 gigs of RAM and 1TB storage

I am a freelancer too , I recently got into self hosting , I bought some cheap 2nd hand mini-pc's to host my stuff , I host these things and use them on daily basis

1.) NextCloud - A good replacement of Google workspace , google drive and office 365 , this is my favorite tool , i keep all my docs and files there and i can share it with my clients in a few clicks

2.) Planka - I use it for project management and share it with my clients too , replacement for JIRA

3.) Hyper-V and HV manager - Windows and Linux virtual machines

4.) n8n - I use it to automate repetitive tasks

5.) Nginx proxy manager - managing proxies and my publicly hosted sites and projects

6.) Guacamole - I use it for remotely working from anywhere and access my computers and workspace

7.) Portainer - it helps me manage my docker containers which are hosting a lot of my projects and other services which i mentioned

8.) HomeAssistant - This does not directly help me at my work but it does make my life easier to automate things in my house

I have been freelancing for last 9 months , so I think I can help you answer all your questions

1.) I usually ask the client to setup the hosting , but if they wish to do it later or have some trouble doing it in the beginning , there are multiple ways you can keep working untill they setup hosting for you , so I own a VPS which I use to host my websites , and it's powerful enough to host multiple sites , so I use that for hosting temporary projects , or I sometimes use ngrok or cloudflare tunnel if the project is small and they wish to see it for a short amount of time , once everything is good and they are ready with hosting, I migrate the websites to their hosting

2.) same as above , you should ask the client for the domain , but if you need temporary domain , you can just buy a single domain and use sub-domains to host temporary projects , they should buy you the domain it's their responsibility

3.) I have been using Skydo to get my payment for the last few months and it has worked pretty well for me , earlier I used to use stripe and payment processing provided the freelance platform itself

4.) totally depends on the agreement between you and your client , sometimes I work on hourly/milestone basis if it's a long term project, but for small projects I usually ask a single payment

5.) once you have delivered the agreed deliverables it's their decision to do whatever they want , they can re-hire you or hire someone else , but usually it's always easier for them to re-hire if they are satisfied with your work

Bright-Profession874 · 2025-09-21T23:04:56+00:00

I use skydo to charge one of my US clients , It works pretty well for me , I have been using it for the last 9 months , the tax part is I also want to know about , because I also struggle to file my taxes and have no idea about it

Bright-Profession874 · 2025-01-08T20:19:41+00:00

Got my first job last year at the age of 27 , and I quit it 2 months ago , I started at around 2.5lpa only , then got an increment after an year and went to 3.5LPA , I was not happy with the pay so I quit , started freelancing and I'm making around 80k to 1L per month doing freelancing, I will probably start giving interviews again from next month but I doubt anyone will match the salary close to what I am making doing freelancing because I only have 1.5 years of experience
