^^^ this... with Indians! So you are really at the bottom of the barrel.
I'd like to add that networking in your own circle of acquaintances will get you a flying start, this is the most effective way. If you deliver good work, people will flock to you without you having to do any effort yourself. I see it all around me with people i know who started for themselves as well.
Also a personal example, i did some SEO for someone as a favor because nowadays I don't do it anymore for other people. People ask her, how did your site get those good positions? She asked me if i wanted more clients, because the people in her business network keep asking her. Since i don't like doing SEO work and i don't need it i declined, but if i wanted to i would have lots of new monthly returning income from SEO clients. And those people also all have their own network so you'll get even more clients. Local network, local economy (good money), so incomparable to the crumbs you get when competing with indians.
