Contractors that don't work 5 day weeks...

[mudskipper]

I work 4 days a week. But the time to negotiate is at renewal, not at interview.

There are a few sites like this.

I'd be very surprised if you made anything from them.

Full of bobs bidding peanuts.

If these guys really can do excellent work for peanuts then you can start producing websites for local companies and make a fortune, if not (which is what I suspect), then you can earn money doing the work yourself. I have checked and serious Asian companies are charging $20-30 an hour. But at the end of the day there are quite a few contracts on this site offering over $50. Also quite a lot is fixed price "build me a website with 10-15 pages for $500 just static pages no fancy stuff" I mean that´s not bad, if you know what you´re doing, you ought to be able to knock one off.

But it's never just that, it's design work as well probably.

As a PM I did 3 - 3.5 days per week a year ago for a startup, that's all they could afford, and that's all I really wanted. Rate was crap but I enjoyed the flexibility.

There's earnings there for westerners if you know your stuff and put the time in.
