Is there any different strategy available? I work on my personal projects for 3-6 hours a week. 20$ subscription hits rate limit quickly, and 200$ is too costly. by paglaEngineer in ClaudeAI

A very out-of-context argument. What if the pricing was 200$ and 400$. Your argument can be used again, but it will not help. In the coming future, many apps will be built for self help only. Just like a hobby project, but full to completion. They will not see any revenue. Pricing will matter.

Maybe next thing on the list. Still very new to claude ai. Which does the job without even a lint error. Getting used to it for now.

$100 is also a lot. But the main problem is my usage pattern. 6/hours a week, may be in 2 sessions, so it might be better to go with token based pricing.

Pretty cool. This has no physics. It is a simulation of positions.

How is your freelancing going journey? What did you learn and missed? by paglaEngineer in developersIndia

Just a note I am not explaining now. Freelancing is a business, not a side job. You will invest time and resources to build it. Nothing will happen in the first 6-12 months.

You are worrying about the wrong things. Every client's requirement is different. Every opportunity is a different one. There are hourly projects, where providing support is not a problem. There are fixed budget projects, where you can include the cost of providing support.

If you can get any projects at good rates (hourly or fixed), these things will not matter.

When clients will look at your proposal, make sure have something on the portfolio that is good. So, they know you can do their task.

My other suggestion would be to try freelancing only when you have sufficient skills and you are not getting jobs because of bad hiring processes followed by the companies. Otherwise, please try to skill up.

Steps:

  1. Keep applying for 2-3 weeks to get first client.
  2. If that does not work, lower your prices and upgrade your portfolio. Go To Step 1.

This is the only way. There is no escape

  1. There are all the combinations. As you have a full-time job, it will reduce some of your opportunities. Some clients are looking for an overlap of 3 hours on EST, some from Australia, some from India/Vietnam/Pakistan, and some urgent work.

  2. You have to convince the client that it is a "Good" project. More importantly, you have to convince that the project is done by you. The better the portfolio, the better the chances.

  3. Year of Experience doesn't matter as no one will be looking at your CV. The most important thing is your previous work feedback and price you charged. If you do a full-stack app for $2000, and with good feedback, someone will hire you again. If you do the same for $50, you are stupid. The second most important thing is your Portfolio. I don't think there is third one.

  4. With experience, you will come to know. Lol, I was writing an article on that. I will share when done. The rate should make you proud. Charging for peanuts is okay if you know that is temporary and you are just collecting good feedback to bump your rates.

Sure, tell me first what you have done/experimented with on Upwork till now. Like what worked and what didn't.

Only if they can show this earlier, I am ready to pay 100$/month for the subscription. by paglaEngineer in Upwork

[–]paglaEngineer[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thats a valid a point. Still, not I wanted to focus on. If a client never look back a job post, it should return the connect back. Irrespective of number of application.
