And so that it is always fair to both parties involved, always get an upfront payment (at least 10%, non-refundable) and additional payments (at least 30% to 50%) upon showing the initial designs. You may end up with 100 bad custoemrs for every 1 good customer that you work with. Build up those 1's and you'll end up with a good customer base. Hi Melo,

I am looking for someone to give my blog a unique look but I don't have the skill. If you are interested contact me at bpm2k@comcast.net Thanks. Melo,

The value of the peso is getting strong against the dollar but its purchasing power is still going down. Prizes of basic commodities continue to rise. :( Thanks Gian. :) Yes, the cost of outsourcing in the Philippines is very small but they shouldn't abuse it.

I've designed headers for a client which I believe will be used for adsense sites but I don't really know how that works. Thanks James. :) I'd really like to learn how that is done.

At the moment I'm earning over $300 in 2 days with AdSense alone. I'm not always earning like that, but before Christmas is a good time for my sites and it already happened in the past. You should focus on designing websites for yourself that you can monetize with AdSense and affiliate programs such as CJ.com or plenty of others. I stopped working for clients about 4 years ago and working for a boss about 7 years ago. I'm earning a decent living for european standards even with a strong Euro. It's really cheap.
