# Realistic monthly income after 6 months?

OR

Everyone posts their first client win but I want to know what month 6 actually looks like for people still doing this part time, not full time freelancers. What's a normal range if you're doing maybe 10-15 hours a week?

I'm at month 7, two clients, about $1,100/month combined, roughly 12 hours a week. Took about 3 months to get past the first client plateau.

$650/month here at month 6, one client, part time on top of a full time job. I could probably take a second client but haven't had the bandwidth.

Worth saying not everyone hits the higher end of these numbers, I stalled at one client for 4 months before picking up a second. The ramp isn't always smooth.
