Hiring freelance programmers and web designers

Interview Question | Freelance Programmer
Earn Money | Google Group | Yahoo Group

If you are working as a freelance programmer or a web designer and are looking for jobs, here are few tips for you, which I learnt the hard way, so do not make the same mistakes which I had made initially.

• Stick to only few good websites like getafreelancer.com


• To establish a good reputation as a freelance programmer/web designer, start quoting half the price than that of what already established freelancers are quoting


• Try to estimate the work in such a way that you have 20% buffer time, so that in case you are about to slip on the deadline , you can make it up most of the time


• Set the expectation right, if possible deliver a small prototype of the project that you are working
  
• Understand that the buyer may not very be proficient in english , so keep the coomunication between you and the buyer simple


• Even if buyer is acting stupid , handle him professionaly, never try to be harsh on the buyer

Happy freelance programming. Feel free to leave comments.

Never buy high traffic domain from digitalpoint

Interview Question | Freelance Programmer
Earn Money | Google Group | Yahoo Group

I just had a bitter experience in buying one of the high traffic domain cheapseoservices.com parked at sedo
I checked at sedo it is receiving 10000 uniques per month, the moment it was transfered to my account, I redirected to my web site and started tracking how many visitors it is getting per day, any guess ?

I am getting maximum 1 visitors per day!! (from 300 uniques per day to 1 visitor per day, is this not a miracle ? Lost few hundred bucks , does not look like the domain can recover even a dollar in next two years
So buy only developed domain, never pay more than $25 for buying a parked domain even though someone claims it is getting thousands of hits, who knows where from the domain owner is generating traffic.
