How I Made My First $500 From Freelance Coding - Using Fiverr

A good strategy might be to charge a very small amount per "hello world". $0.00000000001 sounds pretty reasonable to the client, but you'll still make infinite money.

[@fudgenuggets405]

@@10highsky ok, I’ll make it clearer with an example. You spec out a project and say you can meet all the requirements (maybe even a few extras) for $10,000 and it will take a month. The company you are in contact with says great, but we need it in three weeks instead. Fine, either the price goes up (now you’re fast and good) or some of the requirements get dropped (now you’re fast and cheap). Getting paid “less” is relative. The dollars earned are lower but maybe it means you can get by working half a day or don’t need to put in extra time at night / weekends. Some find lower stress to be a very nice trade off for lower compensation.
