Am a PHP/MySQL developer and I need atleast 500dollars per month to keep me focused while working on my startup ideas.

Any suggestions?

Freelance. Are you stateside or overseas? If stateside, hop on craigslist, send emails to those looking. $500/mo should be pretty easy, even if just starting out, IF you're motivated to find work.

Am from Africa, I've tried craigslist and a couple of other freelance sites but I didn't get any leads. Thanks for the response.

Who the hell downvoted this? I don't have any idea why this wouldn't be considered legitimate advice.

Do you have an online resume that shows/proves your skills?

I don't have a resume online but I can easily send an email with all the websites and facebook applications that i've developed.

Put them online, so people can decide if you're worth contacting before emailing. Make sure it looks nice and make sure there's a way to evaluate your skills (code examples, ...).

Thanks for the advice. I'm going to get working on that soon.
