November 19, 201312 yr I just wanna guys talk you about something that bothers me and i want your opinion.My dream in my life was to make a living working through my computer (from home) so i started learning website designing the point is that i dont seem to fine fun on it,and now i am thinking it ,fixing something it takes ages or even fixing someone else codes takes that time answell.That i wanna say it requires lots of work and efforts ,by making in the most 30$ working the whole day, anyway here is the thing as i said i wanted to make a living from home ,but working as a website designer i think it wont make me rich,it wont make my living , i mean is not like i am a website designer or something i am just still on learning but i do understand how it works.I want to do lots of things ,but without putting so much effort, that i wanna say i am looking for an autopilot , i mean doing a simple task and it would earn me some $$ without putting much effort.I've heard lots of people saying they earning 1000$ per month through the web ,i mean i wish i would make this money through the internet i would be happy with myself and in the think of website designing there is so much things to learn and i have still long road to take it brings myself discouraged.So any ideas about it ? should i start programming except website design? i mean knowing to create you want and it will make things easier it would be more usefull because even trying to create a website there is already exist.... But if i know to create any program i want it would make my life easier i guess?So what guys do you think about it?can you suggest me an idea?

Sounds to me like you're expecting too much of yourself. If you're a beginner, then you shouldn't be thinking about getting client work. Any designs you make for paying clients would probably be somewhat amateurish and, as you grow as a designer, wouldn't reflect your true ability later down the road. So in doing that, you would be spending valuable learning time trying to earn some pocket money, fooling yourself into thinking you're making headway in the freelancing world when, in fact, you ought to be training to become a proficient designer. On top of that, I think you've been expecting to have learned the ins and outs of web design fast quicker than in reality. I assume this because you seem deeply worried about bringing in a consistent income at such a premature stage. It would like me shifting careers into contracting/construction and fretting over an absence of cashflow when I don't even know how to lay bricks. Do what normal people do. If you need money (and I mean really need it, for bills, rent etc), get a part-time job while studying independently at home. Stop trying to take on the web design industry with a poor skillset. On a lighter note, if it makes you feel any better, I'm an employed web designer and I can't work out Wordpress to save my life (yet). Then again, I hate it with a passion, and I don't 'need' to know it for my job. You, on the other hand, need to have bulletproof knowledge of the things you claim to be constantly fixing. Don't give up, in any case.
