Oh wow those are quite nice salaries hey Mike?

Well I am a blogger so I guess I am a bit of everything aren't I?

I do almost everything myself for all my websites so I guess I would make a nice all rounded employee if someone was looking to employ someone to manage their website and do all their online marketing. But then again I have been working for myself for a very long time so I am not so sure I will handle being told what to do by someone now LOL

Jesus those are some nice numbers you've listed there Mike! Makes me want to emigrate to the US! In fact, I might target some jobs there after I reach 3 years of clear experience at an agency, does freelancing counts as experience? I guess not.
Anyway, I'm not really a manager at the moment but I do am the only SEO my agency haves. Of course, I don't handle only SEO, I also work on big parts of marketing strategies that we have in place for each client.

Thanks for the share Mike. I bet that's why most of the freelancers love to work with people from the US. First of all, due to the language. Almost everyone can read, write and understand English, even if it's just "the basics" so to speak. The second reason you want to work with people from the US is obviously the money.

I've been working online for about 10 years or so, and 50% of that time, as a full time freelancer. And honestly speaking, I think I've had "problems" one or two times, with a client from the US, when it comes to the price I've charged for something. - 99.5% of all the clients from the US have never bothered to ask for a discount. They've never asked for their money back and they've never been disappointed when I tell them to pay $10, $20 or $100 for something. I usually deliver products and services for affordable costs and even though I'm a bit more expensive than my competitors, I've never had any problems. And I guess that is because people from the US are considered "wealthy", which makes them pay the price for whatever they want, and they don't negotiate or ask for discounts as much as people from other parts of the world. - Well, that's how I see things at least.

I got blown away with the salaries that you stated because of their big numbers. Maybe my time spent in learning technical matters in this site will be worth it someday when I become an expert in one subject that I can earn such a big salary. As of now that I am a part time freelancer, I am not aiming for that high salary but maybe even a fraction will be enough for my satisfaction.
