    The most important thing is to build a portfolio and actually even if it hurts, when you have no experience or old clients that can recommend you, maybe have a little lower prices(not a lot, our time costs money and programmers price themselves differently)...But you need to think like it's your business with 1 employee. It's not easy. If you have a job, take it step by step, try to get a part-time offer from your day job and 4h freelancing until you have a public project,because most of us are not allowed to share what projects we do at work. Wish the best to all devs.!

    • @ProgrammingwithPeter
      @ProgrammingwithPeter 4 года назад +9

      @@Raghudesign My public portfolio is work in progress along with the youtube channel and the blog because I did work as part-time for clients but they were all local(Romania), the only projects that I made for foreign clients are under the company that I worked for(not sure if I have the right to put them online, so I only use them on my CV when I apply). That's why I said that even if you have years of experience, the work you did at the company belongs to the company...

    • @ProgrammingwithPeter
      @ProgrammingwithPeter 4 года назад +18

      @Rashed Arman No, obviously the big clients search for senior developers, so those won't be for a junior because you are just not fit for the job. But there is market for all skill sets and experience. Usually juniors can find easier jobs from local businesses, because they are cheaper and since you can talk face to face with the client, the connection is different. If you want foreign clients, well, build your experience with smaller projects and add it to your portfolio or CV, depending on if you have a personal website(which by the way, also helps). Don't forget to have a github account with the projects that you are working on, even if they are just tutorials from courses or youtube, still counts as something and that you want to become a professional.The repositories don't have to be public, you can have them private and give access to technical people at interviews, if you don't want to share the code. Also one of the most important advice, don't give up if you fail to get a project, apply to multiple ones, research clients and don't stop learning. It's hard to get the ball rolling, after that it will roll by itself. I have local clients with long term relationships, just because I did a good job even if when I started I had to work more because of lack of experience, now 6-7 years later, I have projects that I just maintain and get good payment.DON'T GIVE UP, LEARN MORE EVERYDAY.

      If you want to build a portfolio, just build SaaS companies and sell them if they grow. If they don't, still nice to have some outstanding ideas. Also a lot of freelance work is CMS based, so make sure you understand WP or smth similar depending on your target customers. Don't forget to ditch toxic people from your life telling you're sick if you do this - they have only bad intentions and want you to fail cause your failure makes them feel better. It sounds silly but ditching one person I knew for 9 years helped me tremendously. Now I feel free, since one year, not having anyone ruling my life.

My wife does all the organizing and keeping customers happy. Sometimes you have to find a person that props up your weaknesses. This is great info. Sit down with a notebook and start putting your plan together and don’t skip any steps. Don’t just watch this for info purposes. Decide to get serious and take massive action. Nice job.

    1) I am looking to be a freelance web developer

    3) I built my 1st website for a local restaurant using only HTML, CSS, & JavaScript.. oh and also some copy & paste captcha code for an application form that sends an email.
    Here is my question:
    What should I learn next?
    Should I learn PHP & MySQL since that will help me do some backend stuff and also since PHP is used with WordPress which I will also learn?
    Should I jump straight to WordPress?
    Should I learn a Framework like Bootstrap, Nodejs, or React?
    Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated!
