@@hj007Hi thanks for your input. I just wanted to know a bit more as I'm a complete beginner in coding ie I haven't even begun. I am really intrigued by the freelancing route as my goal is to work remotely from another country. How viable is this and what do I need to get there in terms of coding skills etc what is recommended to learn (what languages etc)? Also what is the chances of me being able to do this, meaning work remote from another country whilst freelancing, how much opportunity is there to make money?
I’ve seen the majority of your videos. This one is by far the best one you have done. Quick and straight to the point, spoke only FACTS, gave a lot of great examples and REALLY gave me the motivation that I’ve been lacking to get started learning to code. Thank you so much brother and I wish you the best in your future goals!
Don't give up! It's hard in the beginning but YOU WILL MAKE IT. Plus, the job market is going nuts right now for CS degrees and if you're willing to get a bit technical and do backend engineering or cybersecurity you can earn true f*ck it money. Chase the dream man, you got this!
Yea it's ok to do coding just for the money but if I was just in it for money I would've already torn my hair out in my first year of being a software engineer. It definitely helps to at least have a passion for problem solving.
Very true! There is no way you can make it in coding if you hate the core activity and if you're not comfortable being stuck infront of a computer all day long. So basically, you need to be willing to go down this path both mentally and physically. If even one of those factors is not working for you, you will not succeed in this field.
It also makes you realize how grossly inefficient humans really are. That makes most people hate programming, it reminds them that their way of approaching problems sucks.

same, when I was a kid I’d always set up systems and games when playing with other kids, so programming was great for being able to do that. Now I can make whatever I want.

Dude, I've been watching your videos since the beginning of my relatively short journey (23 months). Thanks in no small part to your channel, I was able to make the jump from unemployed bartender with zero tech experience to an entry level software engineer at a big multinational company. Thanks for the guidance and congrats on all your recent success! Your channel has really improved in quality too!
I know several coders, some who are natural nerds and others who wanted a high salary. I am of the group that believes its not a good idea to get into coding because of wanting more money. That's a toxic "American" hustle way of thinking. You should want to build things. Solve issues and grow projects w/ others like you. That should never go away.
I'm not of the industry so this is just from an outsider looking in, but I think there's nothing particularly wrong about going into a job just for the fact that it's a job. You gotta pay your bills after all.
@@Thomazbr I 100% agree, its a fine ambition to want to do a job because it pays well. Not every person gets to have a job that inspires them every day.
from what i learned from this video , it's not about learning to code it's about what you do with it because most of the things you will learn are after actually learning programming
Just came here to say, this is not the attitude to have people.. don’t make f u money.. Make enough money to make you HAPPY and HEALTHY and give back to your communities.
I hate front end but you're right it's probably the easiest path that I should take. I'd much rather do interesting algorithms and learn more there though.
As a financist: DON'T TRADE. PERIOD. If you're an individual without an inside information, you have better luck at beating casino, gambling. Learning card counting and/or play poker professionally is WAY more likely to earn you money. Even though casinos designed with statistical advantage over player. Going solo against those huge hedge-funds which have tens of billions of dollars to play with to manipulate the market, huge complex bots that make a crap ton of calculations per second, just to sheer off retail investors money... It's literally financial suicide. if you already have a spare mil, just put it in a decent mutual fund with good treck-record, and have your annual 5-7%. Don't go to trading. The dunning crueger effect there is huge. You. Will. Loose. Own stocks of good companies with a good business model. Not trade them
im very interestet in programming and i do very basic tutorials/practicses still, but the big problem for me is that i have NO IDEA what i wanna do with that skill eventually if i keep learning and understand the language more. I'm in this "what i wanna do "loop atm because i dont have clear vision of programming or even the opportunities that it might give me. Mabey it comes with time if i just keep learning even its really hard to do it by my self.
Honestly, I get a degree not to say that I know how to code, but to let others know that I know how to code. It just looks better on a resume. But I totally get what this video is saying. If you already know somewhat how to code (I learned and basically mastered python, before going to college and learning c#), going to a college class isn’t really going to be teaching you much, you’ll be learning a lot of what you already know. It all basically amounts to “now, future employers know that you know how to code in this language”.
I think that also. I did the freemote course, because i love to learn new skills and i already have backend skills, but now i know frontend is it not for me and i continue with my python path. Many RUclipsrs promote to become a frontend developer and do wordpress and shopify jobs, because they all claim its easier to learn and to make money, but i think its a saturated market and i don't think its the right market for me (my personal opinion).
Aaaron. I have been watching your channel for a while. I am not happy with my current career path. I am slowly 🐌 learning to let go of my fears 😨 and trying to do something about by taking your course. I do however still have a lot of uncertainty. I would love to be able to do this as a freelancer but according to some of the vloggers I've watched, you won't be able to earn a living on Upworks.
"It's ok to get into coding for money, especially initially. No one is born with a passion for Python" this is important but not said enough. You must practice and then It can be a passion.
But like I always had the passion of programming if we think it as solving problems with algoritms despite that is code or in other fields. I try to figure out all my live as variables, loops, ifs, etc. Actually right now my profile is strong enough to get a job as a frontend but I love programming so much that I am waiting to start my project or to enter in a company were I can think give creative solutions to business problems and not just code and write lines because also for that my hands hurts for focusing in write code
For somebody living in USA in or next to a big city, freelancing it's a no no as a main source of income. You are competing with people around the world which are willing to do the same work for less. If you would have had such a great income from freelancing you wouldn't have bothered with creating Freemote. For anyone else around the world freelancing is your fastest way to get that rewarding compensation without the hassle of getting proper documentation to work in USA. By the way, where are you living now? I saw Ukraine it's under a lot of pressure
@Vince1260 I don't know about freemote but you CAN make money in freelancing. The thing they won't say is you truly have to be a F*CKing expert. Then the sky is the limit, the will pay 2K/day. You are a bargain because you are taking the place of 4 devs. You can also deal with all levels from the CEO to a factory worker. With everyday React or whatever skills, yes, you are competing with tons of people around the globe who are probably better than you and will work for less. You could make money but it is an uphill battle on sites like upwork. The real money there are agencies who have tons of cheaper workers, and they take a cut. Imagine if you have 50 guys, you take $50-$100 from each every day.
when i was growing up we had a 40 cents land and we had to sell it due to financial reason, now we have half of that land, this land is very precious for me i want to make enought money to buy it back, it's my childhood, i need around 150k to buy it.
My concern with coding is that there's already talk about AI becoming the coders of the future being assisted by human code prompters to master how the AI is going to code the website
Trading is also about long term. To compound your capital slowly, but those people came to market thinking it's a get rich quick scheme surely they will fail.
Here is the truth: It's opinions like this that are saturating the industry with unskilled developers that have no natural inclination or passion for designing and implementing abstract systems. I'll give you a short cut, if you don't enjoy proof based mathematics you should choose a different career that fits your personality type. Because ultimately, the market will correct and you will be left with a subpar skill set as you are unable to keep up with those who have a real passion, drive, and natural inclination for software engineering. Try taking some personality tests. Be honest with yourself. If you pick a valuable field that fits your natural inclinations, it won't matter to you if you get payed a little less or have to commute--because you'll love it. Trust me, this happened to me but with a different career path, and it sucks to invest a ton of time/energy into something just to find out you don't have the natural talent to be good enough to obtain real market differentiation when there is a ton of competition.
I just started FCC and wasnt sure where it would lead me, but you've shown me the possibilities and have motivated me to continue the grind. Thank you.
I have a friend that is a back end dev who has encouraged me to pursue back end which is the path I’ve been going down. He said front end dev is saturated, little career growth, and expect to be at 60k late career 80k. Is he wrong? Why is front dev being recommended here alongside those massive salaries.
I'm changing career from chef to computer programmer because I want to earn good money and also the change environment because I have time now to do it and I also do it for me to level up
Cool. I have no idea why this notion came about: "Don't go into a career for money". I think It's 100% fine doing it for the money. I mean why do we work.... for money!!
2 Simple Questions: ------------------------------------------- Who is more likely to succeed as a programmer? Tom: "I love building applications and solving problems... I've enjoyed writing code since I was 14yo." Steve: "I'm learning to code because I wanna make a lot of money... But honestly I don't find coding fun." ------------------------------------------- Who is more likely to provide a valuable programming course / bootcamp? Jess: "Coding has changed my life, it's always been a goal of mine to help more people discover a passion for coding." Erin: "I started for the money, and you should too! Making a bootcamp is my most recent money tree."
im familiar with coding but I never got seriously into it, went with welding and handywork instead. Now I'm looking into getting back into it but I hope its not too late for me, I still feel an understanding with it tho
You can use coding to make a business without a degree. But as someone working in the industry I can say that I've yet to meet a coworker without a degree.
I'd love to know how to get your first client(s) on Upwork. Unlike you, I was born loving Python and loops, so I self taught myself all the front end languages in highschool (a long time ago). Wordpress is a no brainer and doesn't require knowing all that I know but it helps because I can customize the code to fit my needs. In spite of my skills, I have no knowledge on how to sell these skills. So freelancing is really just a pipe dream that I wish I had of stuck with when it was easy to get jobs w/out having to bid. All these freelance platforms were easy to profit from at startup, now anyone trying to get in is competing with veterans.
What can help you succeed in Upwork is: 1. Don't give up. This is easier said than done especially when the bills are piling up, staring at you with a smirk and steel baseball bat in hand ready to beat you to death. don't give up. 2. Reading patiently and Writing well is the key to landing your 1st client. Read the Job post and only submit proposals to the job post you believe you can handle. Read the requirements, please don't rush while doing it. some clients ask specific questions to weed out those who don't read. when you understand what the client wants, then comes the writing. write the steps you would follow to solve the problem. ask questions you do not understand about some other info you may require and tell the client to reply to your message through Upwork. please don't make it lengthy. write your proposal on a word document 1st. check spelling and correct spellings (Use Grammarly it helped me). then copy your spell-checked proposal from your word document and paste it into the Upwork Cover letter field. 3. Show Sample if you have one or make one if it is not too much work. do you have a paste work sample or project you have worked on that has some relationship with what the client wants? it does not have to be related to upwork. it could be a sample project you worked on as a personal project. take screenshots of it or make a video using a screen recorder and upload it for the client to see. it is what helped me land my 1st client. and I have been working with them ever since till this day. 4. Be easy to work with. Remember, the 1st client you may meet may also be his/her 1st time using Upwork. let him enjoy the experience of working with you. that means you may have to bear some inconveniences like doing virtual meetings in different time zones. pick a time that is convenient for your client. for example, my clients' preferred time is 9am for me that is 6pm. this time is not convenient for me because it is getting dark, Power is not good in my area, you get the point. make it easier for your client to work with you and they will retain your services. 5. finally Move on. after submitting a proposal, move on to another job post, read, understand, write and submit your proposal and move on. remember what they say about a watched kettle? it never boils. if you keep waiting on a response to a proposal you sent? it will frustrate the hell outta you. however, make sure you check your notification and message queue before you begin submitting proposals each time you log into upwork, so you don't miss a request or invite from a client who found your proposal appealing. It is not easy but then what is easy in life. you got this.

Coding is really about the friends we made a long the way.
I know several coders, some who are natural nerds and others who wanted a high salary. I am of the group that believes its not a good idea to get into coding because of wanting more money. That's a toxic "American" hustle way of thinking. You should want to build things. Solve issues and grow projects w/ others like you. That should never go away.
I'm not of the industry so this is just from an outsider looking in, but I think there's nothing particularly wrong about going into a job just for the fact that it's a job.
You gotta pay your bills after all.
@@Thomazbr I 100% agree, its a fine ambition to want to do a job because it pays well. Not every person gets to have a job that inspires them every day.
I wouldn’t t recommend it if the aptitude is not there. Yes you need some basic building blocks otherwise your torturing yourself
exactly. It's like getting into finance for money. Yes you can still be good, but intrinsic curiosity is what gets you far in a field.
No i want money and i love capitalism
My man, you are a badazz like no one ever WAS!! thank you for keeping my hope for coding going!
from what i learned from this video , it's not about learning to code it's about what you do with it because most of the things you will learn are after actually learning programming
Appreciate the realness💯
Good delivery. I’m interested in learning what it looks like to do different types of programming.
Just came here to say, this is not the attitude to have people.. don’t make f u money.. Make enough money to make you HAPPY and HEALTHY and give back to your communities.
I hate front end but you're right it's probably the easiest path that I should take. I'd much rather do interesting algorithms and learn more there though.
I always wanted to know how to program but wasn't motivated to do so. I only learned it for the money pretty much, but I also love knowing the skill.
In my country you don't need a degree to code, you need a degree to get an entry job.
Your boss has a business in the sole purpose to make money, but expect you to code out of passion lol
That part, man. None of these bosses are in business for passion lol.
@@bigwavesun maybe their passion is making money which they are currently doing.
Very informative, thank you!
🙏
Your working,time and videos are motivational
Thanks!
Drew me in from the intro alone, great video.
Not sure if you're out in Kiev still or not, but if so i hope you're safe brotha
As a financist: DON'T TRADE. PERIOD. If you're an individual without an inside information, you have better luck at beating casino, gambling. Learning card counting and/or play poker professionally is WAY more likely to earn you money. Even though casinos designed with statistical advantage over player.
Going solo against those huge hedge-funds which have tens of billions of dollars to play with to manipulate the market, huge complex bots that make a crap ton of calculations per second, just to sheer off retail investors money...
It's literally financial suicide. if you already have a spare mil, just put it in a decent mutual fund with good treck-record, and have your annual 5-7%.
Don't go to trading. The dunning crueger effect there is huge. You. Will. Loose.
Own stocks of good companies with a good business model. Not trade them
Love this vid bro. Make more like these!
Currently doing Freemote and it's fantastic!
how’s it going as of now!
Thanks a lot for the feedback :)
Solid and quick video. Great!
Love this. great video! Happy new year 🥳
I got into coding because of a girl, she left, but coding stayed 🥺
love the new video!
I was looking for videos like these
Thank you for this video
Great Video Thanks!
I'm motivated by the sheer range of things I can do with coding. I'm interested in also paying my bills though.
F*ck you money is one of the best technical terms I’ve heard
im very interestet in programming and i do very basic tutorials/practicses still, but the big problem for me is that i have NO IDEA what i wanna do with that skill eventually if i keep learning and understand the language more. I'm in this "what i wanna do "loop atm because i dont have clear vision of programming or even the opportunities that it might give me. Mabey it comes with time if i just keep learning even its really hard to do it by my self.
Honestly, I get a degree not to say that I know how to code, but to let others know that I know how to code. It just looks better on a resume.
But I totally get what this video is saying. If you already know somewhat how to code (I learned and basically mastered python, before going to college and learning c#), going to a college class isn’t really going to be teaching you much, you’ll be learning a lot of what you already know. It all basically amounts to “now, future employers know that you know how to code in this language”.
I hope you’re safe man!
The thing is evens if you don’t want to become a software developer nowadays basically every high paying job requires at least some coding proficiency
Sorry to be a downer/doubter, but don't you think the Wordpress pool of devs on Upwork is a little bit saturated?
Yes, but a lot of people still look for those people.
I think that also. I did the freemote course, because i love to learn new skills and i already have backend skills, but now i know frontend is it not for me and i continue with my python path. Many RUclipsrs promote to become a frontend developer and do wordpress and shopify jobs, because they all claim its easier to learn and to make money, but i think its a saturated market and i don't think its the right market for me (my personal opinion).
except that on Upwork you will be competing with people who willing to do work for a LOT less...race to the bottom
Love it!
I remember watching this almost a year ago, and now watching this video again from my full time office. You can do it guys!
damn can i get a referral xD
what do you mean?@@mohammedazzan7529
Dude you are legend
Aaaron. I have been watching your channel for a while. I am not happy with my current career path. I am slowly 🐌 learning to let go of my fears 😨 and trying to do something about by taking your course. I do however still have a lot of uncertainty. I would love to be able to do this as a freelancer but according to some of the vloggers I've watched, you won't be able to earn a living on Upworks.
I like the laid back format. Thanks for the great info!
This video got suggested to me as I’m learning while loops in Python 😅
Would be great to see an update video to this, now with chatgpt supporting Software Engineers with their job.
it is ok I like to do back-end work! I personally enjoy
"It's ok to get into coding for money, especially initially. No one is born with a passion for Python" this is important but not said enough. You must practice and then It can be a passion.
But like I always had the passion of programming if we think it as solving problems with algoritms despite that is code or in other fields. I try to figure out all my live as variables, loops, ifs, etc. Actually right now my profile is strong enough to get a job as a frontend but I love programming so much that I am waiting to start my project or to enter in a company were I can think give creative solutions to business problems and not just code and write lines because also for that my hands hurts for focusing in write code
Love the title
Hope you doing safe bro
For somebody living in USA in or next to a big city, freelancing it's a no no as a main source of income. You are competing with people around the world which are willing to do the same work for less.
If you would have had such a great income from freelancing you wouldn't have bothered with creating Freemote.
For anyone else around the world freelancing is your fastest way to get that rewarding compensation without the hassle of getting proper documentation to work in USA.
By the way, where are you living now? I saw Ukraine it's under a lot of pressure
@Vince1260 I don't know about freemote but you CAN make money in freelancing. The thing they won't say is you truly have to be a F*CKing expert. Then the sky is the limit, the will pay 2K/day. You are a bargain because you are taking the place of 4 devs. You can also deal with all levels from the CEO to a factory worker. With everyday React or whatever skills, yes, you are competing with tons of people around the globe who are probably better than you and will work for less. You could make money but it is an uphill battle on sites like upwork. The real money there are agencies who have tons of cheaper workers, and they take a cut. Imagine if you have 50 guys, you take $50-$100 from each every day.
i made around 10 k working freelance nft jobs its died down a lot now so im focusing on growing my abilities but it definitely changed my life.
Look into psyberX, a crypto FPS game
@@joanharrower5529 no.

Thanks broski
I love the video and i also enjoy the 1000 dollar course you sell
Race on baby ✌️
when i was growing up we had a 40 cents land and we had to sell it due to financial reason, now we have half of that land, this land is very precious for me i want to make enought money to buy it back, it's my childhood, i need around 150k to buy it.
Well said
My concern with coding is that there's already talk about AI becoming the coders of the future being assisted by human code prompters to master how the AI is going to code the website
I both have passion for python and for loops and making a lot money🤑
Trading is also about long term. To compound your capital slowly, but those people came to market thinking it's a get rich quick scheme surely they will fail.
I’ve always thought it’d be cool to learn coding, make a cool but shirt pixel game and market it to RUclipsrs for exposure.
Here is the truth: It's opinions like this that are saturating the industry with unskilled developers that have no natural inclination or passion for designing and implementing abstract systems. I'll give you a short cut, if you don't enjoy proof based mathematics you should choose a different career that fits your personality type. Because ultimately, the market will correct and you will be left with a subpar skill set as you are unable to keep up with those who have a real passion, drive, and natural inclination for software engineering. Try taking some personality tests. Be honest with yourself. If you pick a valuable field that fits your natural inclinations, it won't matter to you if you get payed a little less or have to commute--because you'll love it. Trust me, this happened to me but with a different career path, and it sucks to invest a ton of time/energy into something just to find out you don't have the natural talent to be good enough to obtain real market differentiation when there is a ton of competition.
Bro wants to sell his bootcamp. No surprise.
Gonna keep watching this interesting material. Player hating is a crime!
You are blanketing over the leverage trading options
Coding and computer literacy skills are the new requirement for most high value jobs. It's like learning how to read/write and research
I just started FCC and wasnt sure where it would lead me, but you've shown me the possibilities and have motivated me to continue the grind. Thank you.
Thanks Aaron you’re amazing!!!😎
Thanks!
I have a friend that is a back end dev who has encouraged me to pursue back end which is the path I’ve been going down. He said front end dev is saturated, little career growth, and expect to be at 60k late career 80k. Is he wrong? Why is front dev being recommended here alongside those massive salaries.
love the title lol about to watch the video im sure it will be great
Bro holdning the mic like a rockstar:)
I'm changing career from chef to computer programmer because I want to earn good money and also the change environment because I have time now to do it and I also do it for me to level up
Cool. I have no idea why this notion came about: "Don't go into a career for money". I think It's 100% fine doing it for the money. I mean why do we work.... for money!!
2 Simple Questions:
-------------------------------------------
Who is more likely to succeed as a programmer?
Tom:
"I love building applications and solving problems... I've enjoyed writing code since I was 14yo."
Steve:
"I'm learning to code because I wanna make a lot of money... But honestly I don't find coding fun."
-------------------------------------------
Who is more likely to provide a valuable programming course / bootcamp?
Jess:
"Coding has changed my life, it's always been a goal of mine to help more people discover a passion for coding."
Erin:
"I started for the money, and you should too! Making a bootcamp is my most recent money tree."
Pretty cool, thanks for that
im familiar with coding but I never got seriously into it, went with welding and handywork instead. Now I'm looking into getting back into it but I hope its not too late for me, I still feel an understanding with it tho
Thanks to coding I managed to build my own outreach system for another one of my businesses which allowed me to get clients a lot easier!
You can use coding to make a business without a degree. But as someone working in the industry I can say that I've yet to meet a coworker without a degree.
En un video de 8 minutos explicaste lo que otros videos no hacen en 30/40 minutos, gracias
I'd love to know how to get your first client(s) on Upwork. Unlike you, I was born loving Python and loops, so I self taught myself all the front end languages in highschool (a long time ago). Wordpress is a no brainer and doesn't require knowing all that I know but it helps because I can customize the code to fit my needs. In spite of my skills, I have no knowledge on how to sell these skills. So freelancing is really just a pipe dream that I wish I had of stuck with when it was easy to get jobs w/out having to bid. All these freelance platforms were easy to profit from at startup, now anyone trying to get in is competing with veterans.
What can help you succeed in Upwork is:
1. Don't give up. This is easier said than done especially when the bills are piling up, staring at you with a smirk and steel baseball bat in hand ready to beat you to death. don't give up.
2. Reading patiently and Writing well is the key to landing your 1st client. Read the Job post and only submit proposals to the job post you believe you can handle. Read the requirements, please don't rush while doing it. some clients ask specific questions to weed out those who don't read. when you understand what the client wants, then comes the writing. write the steps you would follow to solve the problem. ask questions you do not understand about some other info you may require and tell the client to reply to your message through Upwork. please don't make it lengthy.
write your proposal on a word document 1st. check spelling and correct spellings (Use Grammarly it helped me). then copy your spell-checked proposal from your word document and paste it into the Upwork Cover letter field.
3. Show Sample if you have one or make one if it is not too much work. do you have a paste work sample or project you have worked on that has some relationship with what the client wants? it does not have to be related to upwork. it could be a sample project you worked on as a personal project. take screenshots of it or make a video using a screen recorder and upload it for the client to see. it is what helped me land my 1st client. and I have been working with them ever since till this day.
4. Be easy to work with. Remember, the 1st client you may meet may also be his/her 1st time using Upwork. let him enjoy the experience of working with you. that means you may have to bear some inconveniences like doing virtual meetings in different time zones. pick a time that is convenient for your client. for example, my clients' preferred time is 9am for me that is 6pm. this time is not convenient for me because it is getting dark, Power is not good in my area, you get the point. make it easier for your client to work with you and they will retain your services.
5. finally Move on. after submitting a proposal, move on to another job post, read, understand, write and submit your proposal and move on. remember what they say about a watched kettle? it never boils. if you keep waiting on a response to a proposal you sent? it will frustrate the hell outta you. however, make sure you check your notification and message queue before you begin submitting proposals each time you log into upwork, so you don't miss a request or invite from a client who found your proposal appealing.
It is not easy but then what is easy in life. you got this.
Thank you 😊

This beginning of this video just made me realize how much taxes suck
Hope you're doing fine ❤️
