Freelancing: How to start a Web Designer Gig

Laid off? Can Not find a job?

I have a good friend, who lost his job in dot com bust in silicon valley and then again in 2009 down economy. Steve is great at technical stuff and overall smart and hardworking guy in real life like many who got laid off around that time.

No matter how hard he worked to send resumes and phone interviews, he was unlucky to find a job. He was simply unlucky, after 3 months of not having an income , he was bored and frustrated to say the least.

Steve designed a website for me in his free time and he did a great job that other people started to like these simple jobs and now he is working from home, making websites and web designs for others. When you have driven past Steve’s apartment, the last few months, you may have noticed that his Honda Civic is usually in the driveway. That is because Steve now works at home with some of his friends and they are freelancer for anyone who may need web design work, logo work and so on.

If you love web design and are technical savvy, you might just be perfect for web designer jobs at big companies as a staff designer like many people. However, if you like to be your own boss or not finding a job like my friend, you may want to look in to freelancing web design jobs.

Now with web presence for everything, web design is key ingredient for many big, small business to have a web presence. It is not only lucrative, but it also gives you freedom of starting your own small web design business. I am simply not good at web design, creating custom logo, coding css and html codes, I know little stuff but when it comes to big issues, I call my friend to help me. Two of my sites are designed by him and you can check out his company with his other friends at .

There are a few Benefits of Web Designer Freelancing

  1. Freedom to work from home
  2. Freedom to work anytime, as web design can be done at anytime.
  3. You can be your own boss or work for big Company as a web designer.
  4. Once you make name for yourself, business will be word of mouth and keep coming
  5. You can set your own rate for charging the web design fees as long as they are reasonable.
  6. Flexible work hours, waking up late can be okay

Possible downside of Freelancing:

  1. Until you established your self there might be no income coming in
  2. Even if you get a project, it might not be steady income
  3. Sometimes you need to do rush project, working 80 hours a week
  4. Self discipline is needed to be motivated when working from home.
  5. Social life can be lonely being working from home

What are Available Resources for Web Designer Freelancing?

So, if you decided that you want to start a freelancing job, what are the resources available to you? Some sites can bring you lot of potential clients and opportunities.

Some of the best sites you can find potential clients and advertise your services are;

Some sites may charge to place your ads in it, some are free. I have not tried it but I see some advertisement on craigslist.com for web designer, so you may want to look in to it.

When is a good time to start?

Good time to get started is now, the sooner you will start, the sooner it will start to work for you. Remember Rome was not build in a day so do not expect immediate success right away. As a freelancer writer I know it takes time. Good luck.

How to Achieve Your Goals

Importance of Goal Setting

Everyone has goals in life. Sometimes we have single goal, sometimes we have many goals and do not know where to start and how to maintain the enthusiasm for reaching our goals.

Goals can come in small and big size both, short terms goals are as important as long term goals and we need to choose both types of goal in our life. For example, short term goal would be save money for bills next month and long term goal could be saving for retirement funds.

I have goals and given up many times, I have found three ways to be motivated to keep going until I reach my final goal and maintain it and I thought of sharing it here for all of you so we can all achieve the final result and be successful at reaching the goal.

If You Could Achieve One Goal in 24 Hours

3 Tips to Achieve and Maintaining your Goals

Before you set a time to set your goals for your life, you should also check to see if going after that goal is current time is worth the effort. Making choices for goals can be time consuming but it sure saves headache and time later on to make sure your goals are fit for the lifestyleyou are going after.

1.Set Target for Your Goal:

Having a goal that is measurable, specific and realistic makes a difference. We can have short term and long term goals. Long terms goals can be broken down in to a smaller chunks to make it easier to achieve.

For example, losing weight is a general goal that is not specific. You want to have a goal such as losing 30 lbs in 12 months is measurable, specific and realistic. That yearly goal can be broken in to monthly or weekly tasks that will help you keep motivated throughout the year to keep working on the goal and maintain it once you achieve it.
2. See final results and Benefits of the Goal

Many of us make goals and resolutions but give up on half way through. It is because we do not see the final end result or benefits of reaching that goal. It could be losing weight goal, final result could be looking great in any outfit, beautiful for girls and handsome for men. Being attractive to opposite sex is a great confidence booster for any of us, keeping that in mind, we should continue to work on the goal, when going gets tough.

When things are hard, think of the final results and benefit of reaching that goal to keep focus until we reach the goal.

3. List the Goal Obstacles

Many times, reaching goals can be tough as people do not think of any possible setbacks or obstacles that can come between reaching the goal. Nothing is easy in life, at least not so much cakewalk. Having a right expectations and back up plans always helps when obstacles come in between you and your goal to make you successful or looking beautiful.

Keeping commitment and focus to keep going to reach the final results is necessary to reach any goal for most of us. Sometimes we want results overnight, losing weight, becoming financially free or getting success can take time sometimes and patience is a great virtue for it. Once you finally reach your goal through obstacles and issues, your confidence and self esteem will soar and you will be able to tackle more goals to make your self more successful at whatever you desire.

Good luck.

How Many Types Of Paid Surveys Can You Make Money From?

When I tell people about making money through paid surveys, there are often many questions, one of the most asked question is always what type of paid surveys are there? and Can you really make money from it?  Let me tell you, you will not become millionaire with paid surveys, but you can make side change or nice side income for surely with paid surveys. Below is more details about types of paid surveys you can do to make chunk of money.

Types of Paid Surveys

Statistical Surveys:

These surveys are used to collect information about the population. These surveys are used to measure political polls, for governmental use, health, social activities, and marketing research. The surveys will focus on facts or opinions, depending on the type of the information the company or institution is looking for.

 

The questions on this type of survey are standard and structured. Questions are offered in an order that will not influence a response to questions that came after. They are standardized so that the questions remain general and reliable. Every person receiving the survey will receive the exact same questions.

 

Serial Surveys:

 

These surveys repeat the same questions at different times to track changes in opinion. There are two types of serial surveys. Cross– Sectional Surveys are given to a variety of different people at the same time, and Longitudinal Surveys are given to the same person at different intervals of time.

 

Delivering Surveys to the Public:

 

Telephone Surveys– Are a popular way to get public opinion and are low in cost. This type of survey is limited in capacity because the responder is not able to view, smell, or touch the product. An oral representation of the survey is represented.

 

Mail Surveys– The survey is mailed to the respondent and are returned in the same manner. When bought in bulk, postage is usually quite reasonable, making this type of delivery cost effective. The biggest drawback to this type of survey delivery is the long wait to receive all of the responses, sometimes several months.

 

Online Surveys– Web surveys are sometimes preferred over email because the response rate is instantly available. Online surveys can be lower in cost to the company, and more convenient for the person filling them out because they are automated.

 

In-Home Surveys–  People are interviewed at their door or in their home. These surveys are very high in cost and the company will get about a 40 to 50% response.

 

Man-on-the Street Surveys– Surveys taken by those encountered outdoors. Many times a booth is set up with an interviewer. The questions can be asked orally, or the respondent may be asked to fill out a written survey.

Make Money With Paid Surveys

HOW PAID SURVEYS WORK

Once you register with a paid survey site, you will receive surveys in your email. It is up to you which surveys you choose to participate in. You will be paid for each survey you complete, following the price per survey the site offers. Most of the time, these surveys will take you about 5 to 15 minutes of your time to fill out, and usually offer a payment of $10 to $75 for each. Focus groups pay quite a bit more per survey, usually up to $250.

The amount of money you make will depend on how many sites you join and how many emails you receive in a day, you could make several hundred dollars daily. Look at it this way, if you receive and complete at least 25 paid surveys a day at $10 to $15 each, you would be making anywhere from $250–$375 per day. At 5 to 15 minutes per survey you would be working anywhere from 2 1/2 hours, to a bit over 6 hours every day. If all of these surveys were from focus groups paying $75 each, you would have the potential to realize a whopping $1875 per day. You can see the potential to make a good deal of money participating in paid surveys.

Why Would Anyone Pay For Your Opinion ?

As a consumer, your opinion is important to companies before they introduce a new product or service to the market. Paying to have a consumer fill out surveys is a much more cost effective way to perform research, as the company cannot afford to introduce a new product or service that nobody will buy.

It is well worth it for a company to pay a consumer to fill out a survey, participate in an online focus group, or pay to watch a new movie trailer and give their opinion. This way they will get consumer opinions, good or bad, before they put any money into production.

How To Make Passive Income With Real Estate

One of the best way to set up passive income or alternative income is put your income eggs on different baskets, so no matter how market turns, you will have some income coming from various streams of investment. I am strong believer in diversifying my income, no matter how small or big the amount may be at the first.

One of the sound investment is real estate or have a rental property. Yes, even with bad real estate market in last few years and crazy foreclosures, prices for many real estate property is low and interest rate is down for many investing opportunity.

Few Key Point to Consider before investing in real estate:

  • Invest in small or fixer upper property
  • Never take more loans then you need
  • Pay cash whenever possible
  • Invest with friends or other people who knows different things
  • Hire  trusted property manager or do work yourself to save money
  • It is not 100% passive income as work is required but it is not 8 hours a day job
  • Always make sure tax liens, and other debt issue before investing

How to Find Affordable Timeshares at EBay

With the increasing demand for timeshare properties,
where one has versatile options on how to use it, it
has become one of the most popular ways on which one
will buy a certain unit for vacation purposes. But
then again, with its astronomical prices, people now
prefer to purchase timeshare properties in the resell
market rather than buying a new one at a steeper
price. Also, people can get to critique and find some
considerations from the selling party to get the best
deal possible.

Find One at EBay!

Of course, you may find one with your extensive
connections on finding a reseller of timeshares but
you may also opt for the best reselling website right
now, which is Ebay. Not only you may find an extensive
list of people who are selling timeshares, it is also
one of the best and most reliable companies that are
selling them. Also, they give big discounts on these
kinds of properties. So not only do you have a lot of
options in Ebay, you can avail of it at a better price
than anywhere else in the market.

Today, the firm has an estimated 1400 timeshares which
are placed from the west coast to the east coast, from
Hawaii to Manhattan. With that list in place, you are
assured that you can find the best place that is
suited to your lifestyle and needs. If you luck out,
sometimes you’ll get a substantial discount of 75%.
Sometimes, you may even get a property for an
unbelievable $105. But when you think about it, the
maintenance costs aren’t cut, so it’s likely that
you’ll get around $650 as bill for maintenance and a
rather funny one that costs only $105 for the
property.

With the phenomenal costs of maintenance on hand, you
also have to watch out for other costs you may incur.
For instance, a property that costs around $120 may
also have $700, $350 and $100 in maintenance, closing
and resort transfer fees, respectively. So all in all,
you have to pay around $1280 for the first year.

Other Benefits

The most wonderful benefit that you can get for
purchasing timeshares in Ebay is that you’re free from
convoluted timeshare contracts. But what you have to
know, however, is the state policies that come with
the timeshare; meaning, you have to know where the
location of your unit is. You should know them because
it will help you escape big trouble in the long run.
It would be great if you can get help from a good
lawyer. Check it out properly, taking notice of the
fees, taxes and restrictions that come with the
timeshare property. You also have to remember that you
must avoid freaky scams and only entertain EBay fees,
nothing more, nothing less.

Conclusion

With all the conveniences and benefits that come along
with purchasing a timeshare property in EBay, the site
is definitely for keeps. It screens the system every
now and then to find out who is a known malicious
seller or not. But then, don’t forget of the overhead
and maintenance costs that come with the timeshare.
These are not discounted like the property price, and
it is very likely that these fees may cost around
three or even eight times the property. Lastly, you
have to watch out for the policies that come with
specific timeshares. So that not only will your
vacation will be safe, it will be hassle-free and
inexpensive as well.

Part 10 – Interactions Between Blogs

As your blog’s content increase, people in your niche will definitely mention you for intelligent or interesting discussions. This is, in a sense, an initiation of an interaction. When people speak of you, you should thank them for the mention and build up the interaction!

When you use a traffic tracking script such as the free www.statcounter.com, you can see where traffic comes from. If a large number of visitors come from a certain blog, you can be sure they have mentioned you in their latest post or linked to you from their sidebar or links page. What you should do is pay them a visit, leave constructive comments on their posts and build up a conversation!

Build Relationship:

As you continue doing this, you will start to gather a lot of friends in your niche. This is helpful later on when you decide to do collaborations such as interviews. In fact, when you’re out of ideas for writing on your blog, you can interview other blog owners in your niche! Human beings are curious creatures, so naturally they would like to know more about a person whose writings they read so often.

If you’re using WordPress, Textpattern, MovableType or any other advanced blog engines, you can also post trackback links on your posts. This means you can post an article about what other people have posted! Your particular post will then appear as a link on that post you have written about. This is definitely a great way to get traffic if you post brilliant insights about a post on a very famous blog. Since the famous blog already has a per-existing pool of readers, this is like a shortcut to hog their visitors! The only thing you would want to observe is to keep your posts sensible and insightful, or you’ll be viewed as a spammer.

On the other hand, if you’re using Blogger, you would not be able to use trackback links. However, you can post insightful comments on other people’s blogs and subtly include a link back to your blog. You can make it seem like you’re pointing to your blog as an extra reference to the subject of discussion.

What You Need To Know About Taxes and Online Business

Taxes: They’ll Catch Up On You

This is part of tax series, when you have a online business and not paying taxes can be a blow for you and your LLC or Corporation. What do you need to know about paying taxes for your online business?
Doing business online is starting to be a much
preferred way of transacting business both by the
sellers and the buyers not only because it is way more
hassle-free than real shopping but also because it
provides a chance for a tax-free business transaction
to transpire.

However, the happy days of transacting business
without worrying about the taxes that come along with
it will soon be over because on July 1, 2008,
Washington will be joining 18 other states in America
that oblige certain online or e-commerce businesses to
pay and collect sale taxes.

If you have an online business or if you are planning
to start one, then you will also be required to
collect taxes from your consumers or costumers if ever
you are residing in a state that requires you to pay
taxes.

A State Law Passed In 2007

The changes to be implemented on July 1 are the result
of a state law passed in 2007. The certain state law
changes the way the taxes are calculated – a major
alteration that spurs some headaches and confusion
among all online retailers.

Take this situation for example: if you decide to shop
and purchase in a shop or store, you are obliged to
pay the tax rate depending on where the store is
located. However, if you decide to have the stuffs
that you purchased delivered to your doorstep, you are
obliged to pay for the tax rate of your state.

In technical terms, the tax system will be changed
from origin-based to destination-based.

The Tax Is Not Levied On The Business

Yes, you read that right – the tax is not levied on
the business, instead, it is levied on the part of the
consumer. It is the obligation of online businesses to
collect tax from its consumers and remit it to the
state.

The government is strictly issuing penalties for
businesses that fail to adhere to the law.

Online businesses are not excused from this law, in
fact, more law enforcers and agents are being sent to
check on the legality of online stores and businesses.

One common Internet myth is that the Internet Tax
Freedom Act allows online businesses from being
exempted from collecting sales tax from their
consumers. It is truly considered as one big myth
because in reality, it does not actually stop the
states from collecting sales tax on online businesses
and other e-commerce.

Sure, the Internet Tax Freedom Act does not impose
sales tax on Internet access fees but aside from that,
taxes are already imposed.

When You Make Money Online, You Have To Pay Taxes When
you earn, you really have to pay taxes; it’s a known
fact and perhaps what we can call a bittersweet
reality. Sure, it may be a bit difficult on our part
to surrender a part of our hard-earned money for tax
dues but the truth is, everyone is doing so.
