      Nice video content! Excuse me for the intrusion, I would appreciate your thoughts. Have you researched - Tarbbatigan Imaginable life Tip (google it)? It is a smashing one off guide for making simple money working from home on the internet without the normal expense. Ive heard some super things about it and my cousin at last got amazing success with it.

      For some reason your comment gave me the impression you have been mostly freelancing wihtout much 9 to 5 work experience in an office. As somebody who is currently learning to code I would, of course, go for a traditional career shift with a 9 to 5 on-site job, but, hey, I don't wanna write off freelancing -although in the beginning I will not have any previous experience (can have a portfolio though)
      So any tips and advices in that direction would be great. I also took in consideration your response to Adhishek. Myabe your upcoming channel would be of help for me, so I will stay tuned. Maybe I should dig in Alexander's videos as well.

    Hi Aleksander! How I wish I've known your vlogs sooner. This is really great! Thank you so much. However, is it necessary that when you're starting to become a web developer, you really need to niche down? For example, my first client would be from a food business. Should I focus on delivering websites about food business? I'm really curious on this one because I'm a little bit confused.

    • @AleksanderVitkin

    Hello! When you are about to sell a website to a customer, do you charge him with the domain expenses or it is you the one who manage it ?

    • @AleksanderVitkin
      @AleksanderVitkin  4 года назад +3

      You can do both. I suggest selling the site only, no management.

      In the race to the bottom that most freelancers participate in, it's already crowded. However, offering highly in-demand niche services to real businesses is very much not crowded and will stay profitable for the foreseeable future.

      No, it is not the responsibility of the developer to do that, you can charge the client to do it for them but you don't have to.

      Fundamentally the automated extraction of data out of any website/public facing resource is illegal. Otherwise the company/product would've given its customers an API.
      But everybody seems to do it like it's no problem at all.

    Hi, I’m trying to finish my associates degree of arts. I don’t want to get a bachelors. Should I focus more on getting a 4 year degree even if I don’t want it because of the competition of those who hold higher education degrees? Or just focus on getting certifications (python, swift, web development cert) and gaining skills and experience? Any advice is appreciated.

    • @matthewblasco4720
      @matthewblasco4720 2 года назад

      Certifications.

    • @copsarebastards
      @copsarebastards Год назад

      Depends on what you want to do. This is an old comment so maybe you figured it out but you can get certs at any time. There's nothing stopping you from getting the degree and then also getting certs and that will of course be even more competitive.
      If you want to do web development certs aren't going to matter much compared to a degree and more importantly a solid portfolio with well polished projects in javascript and some javascript framework of your choice.
      Something like security or networking jobs are more cert oriented. Depends on you.
