Don't do it, not now at least. Take a look at eLance and oDesk, you'll be in constant competition with overseas developers that can undercharge you like a bandit.

Without going into too much detail, here's my situation. There is a chance that my company will be making some personnel cuts in the next 10 months or so (pending some state funding decisions). If we cut from the technology department my job will probably be on the chopping block as I'm the most junior tech. Knowing this this far in advance is giving me a chance to look at various options. One of the options I'm considering should my job be cut is freelancing. My question is this: on average, what kind of annual income can a freelance CF dev expect to bring in? I know that it varies quite a bit, but I'm just wanting to get a general idea to see if I'd be able to bring in a comparable income to what I have now. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
