How Much Can You Earn as a Remote Programmer or Developer?
It’s quite common to find the IT guy from your 9-5 working from home for most of the week as most of the work can be taken care of remotely.
When it comes to pay the range can vary depending on if you are a computer programmer, a software developer, a software engineer, an app developer or a web developer.
According to this news article, the range can be from $55,000 to over $100,000 annually depending on your knowledge and experience.
Of course, if you are seeking entry level information technology jobs then this rate of pay will seem quite competitive and if your outside of the US/UK even more attractive.
As an IT freelancer, you can earn between $55 to $80 per hour.

Location Will Not Be a Problem
One thing to remember, never be put off by the advertised remote locations.
