5-15/hour? You're doing yourself and the industry a huge disservice, regardless what currency this is in. If you're a .NET developer, I take it you know what you're doing and even if you want to learn Node.js along the way, that's not a way to go. Once you're set on a small amount (and charge by the hour, another big sin we're all guilty of) it's really hard to get more, and you'll end up doing crappy work for crappy…

Not trying to be harsh, but if you honestly believe this, you should give up right now. There will always be people smarter than you, this is a given. But you will never lan…
For remote jobs, clarity of communication is essential. I hope this doesn't read as mean, since I suspect English is not your first language, but if you are trying to get hired by an English speaking company, you need to use proper grammar and spelling.

Currency - dollar. hm... what is the right pricing?
I would suggest you make yourself easily contactable. Posting this question on HN might interest a possible employer who would offer you some work. However they will have a hard time doing so, if your contact details are not mentioned in your profile. Update: You have added contact details. :)
