Well, I've never done any freelance work. I've never had a project I couldn't figure out how to code but I guess I lack the confidence to accept money for scripts. I am working on the possibility to sell access keys for some of my free scripts to remove credit links.

What is the going rate for PHP freelance work?
What kind of jobs might I expect to find?
What are the pitfalls of freelance?

I've been offered work in the past but chose to pass up the opportunity. Partially because I guess I lacked confidence and partially because I didn't know what to charge.

Looking back on one of the proposals, I guess I should have taken it since I later developed the same script for my own needs. It was to code the user/group authorization and management component of a friends content management system. More of a base system for him to build other applications on. At the time I was worried I wouldn't be able to do it or do it right but the system I later developed was pretty easy to do. :(

Any thoughts?
