Sorry to piggy back on this thread, but can anyone give me an estimate of how much a freelance gig can earn per project? Also, do you take on more than one project at a time, usually?
It totally depends on who you're serving and what their needs are, and what you want to do and how you market yourself. I've had $2k projects and I've had 6 figure projects. For better or worse, I still do not focus my image enough in one area, and I get a wide variety of things crossing my plate, and have a wide variety of project sizes/scopes. The $2k ones are not as common these days, but even when they were, they tended to be smaller projects, not huge projects that I was underbidding.
Sure. Also, I felt a bit weird mentioning 6 figure projects - I say it not to brag so much as to give people some indication that you can do larger projects on your own (actually those tend to involve others for additional skills) - it's not all just basic wordpress installs.

Thanks. I've never freelanced before, so I think I'll start off with $2k projects, so i can begin some kind of portfolio

It's not a problem. I was after as much detail as possible. Very helpful, in fact!
