Hey everyone! I'm just starting out in freelance web development, primarily focusing on full stack projects. I'm curious about what I can expect to earn each month, especially working with small businesses and startups. What are typical rates for basic websites? Also, how many clients did you manage to get when you were starting out? Any insights would be really appreciated!

Just a one-time payment of ten bucks from a friend for a small gig!
Typically, I charge around €1,500 for a basic WordPress site for small businesses. Depending on the month, I’d usually take on 2-6 clients, but it varies a lot! Larger projects definitely cost more.
When I began freelancing, my rates were around $300 to $500 for a basic site. I usually landed about 1-2 clients each month. Your earnings can really depend on your network and effort in finding leads. But don’t worry, it does get easier with time!
I’ve heard of some beginners making as little as $3.50, which sounds really low! It’s all about finding the right clients and building your portfolio.
How did you get your first clients?
