If you want to freelance, you can start using Fiverr .
There you can publish gigs to offer your specific services to a customer.. Example:

  • I will make a responsive website
  • I will teach to you about programming with PHP
  • I will design your SQL Database
  • I will fix bugs of your application

Also, you can set plans with different prices and services.. Example:

  • Basic plan: $10 usd
  • Standard Plan $30
  • Premium Plan: $100

A disadvantage is that Fiverr get the 12% (aprox) of your pay.. But, is a very good place to offer your services to final client and get experience..

Yeah, Fiverr could have low rentability in some cases 😪
Fortunately in my experience as Shopify Developer (Frontend) in Fiverr, the real bussiness is do a couple of gigs for a client and then (if you did it well) he will contact you again and pay a lot more for custom work 😁

I think it is because some clients are looking for a trusted developer.. But of course, it's a matter of trying your luck

Yeah... In France, anything below 40€/hr is ridiculous with all the taxes we have.

If you use Fiverr, please don't under value yourself like many other sellers in fiverr.
