Hey Trav, Nice video as always thanks for all the tips. Also you should also post the timestamp on video description, youtube now use the timestamp on description to outline the section in video. And people are saying youtube is counting this for better visibility and SEO.
Awesome advice. We long know you as our source of inspiration in terms of career. Can we see you as a dad too ;-) Maybe filming with your cute kids... just to spice things up.
Thanks for the video. What are the best resources for secure development? I am new to web development and get nervous when thinking about freelancing because of security issues that could happen.
I agree with you, too many people just "spam" clients with offers that are all about "me me me"... Instead of making something trully helpfull for your clients, sometimes they might even not know they need your help until you present it the right way.
This is another great video and your advice is always on point. The fact that you are sharing your secrets means you are a great professional, support the "fair play" and also a down- to-earth person. One of the struggles I have when fishing for clients is the communication part. I feel that in order to do freelance work you have to have what is often called "soft skills". It's hard to make non-technical people understand why it will cost them XYZ dollars to put a form to their website and why it will take me XYZ days for just a couple of inputs and a submit button... But I guess it depends which door you knock asking for work. Keep your great work man, even you are an example for many of us
Brad is like a good teacher for developers, not only with his great tutorials, But also explaining about health issues, how to get more works etc. Thanks brad
I love his part with the local businesses. You need to create a need for them to realize that they need new things in their sites, if you are reaching out to them. If they know they need to adjust their sites, they will be reaching out to devs. It might take time but then get their sites and have a referenced layout of ur works. Make sure you choose the page that they will care the most and show what you can do with it. Even if they reject it nor dont have a plan right now. Keep the layout for the future. Like selling a house, keep the clients info and keep in touch like Personal greeting on a holiday.
Thank you Mr brad. Your video helped me to build a full web page 3 years ago (that is: ADD TO QUEUE Build An HTML 5 Website With A Responsive Layout ) and your videos taught me a lot. Thank you brad traversy.
Brad traversy is one of the most important person in my life. I feel so lucky to have your video recommended in my timeline. Your classes inspired me to dream of becoming a full stack developer. I found your teaching in English a foreign language for me more efficient than even teachers of my country in my mother language. Love you from Bangladesh.
Some of these tips I did follow when I started freelancing. They do work great. Most of the things that you said are very important in this business otherwise it can work other way round too. Freelancing is tough but definitely doable once you get used to it. Having strong technical skills and even soft skills does help.
Love to see u again , i am currently taking out your html5 and css3 course on udemy, so can u plz. Make a video on your journey from zero to hero as a developer. Thank you my inspiration
Brad, you are not only make videos and take views, but also you like to help people to improve their lives. thank you very much from the bottom of my heart man ❤
This channel has some magical power to motivate me doing web development more than anything.(even tho secondary job) Thank you, and good luck to everyone else as well.
Hi Brad.... Because of you I learnt how to do my college projects and now I am taking up projects...Thank you so much.... If you could take how to fix the price with your clients ... i would be obliged...
Great video! Maybe you could give some advise or make tutorials on how to upgrade website and improve with SEO or other additional services to client? Clients really like to get something additional. I can bet that you could share a lot on this topic and there is not much videos about it. Thanks anyway for keeping us alive and motivated :)
My words just can't thank you enough . thank you so much . i was lost from where to begin. God give the right path .and happiness in life and day after
Thanks for these tips, I have started building projects of my own so that I can can add them to my portfolio. At least, I will have something to display for my clients. Really appreciate Brad.
I live in Jamaica and just learning web development, there isn't enough web development job in this country. I'm just wondering if there is a career in online freelancing.
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I'll specialize into Angular I hope. I'll begin by doing a free website for my actual Boss (though I'm not web dev actually) and hope people will like that.
Wow, so early for a video. Brad, you've been so instrumental in helping to grow my skills in development and engineering. One quick question, do you do junior portfolio reviews? I've been developing my portfolio, but I'm not sure yet what is "enough". It would be such a help to have some feedback from actual developers who know what a junior level would look like and be hire-able in terms of skill. Thank you so much :)
Thanks for the video Brad. Here is my question: How i create the user interface design for my client's project? because i'm not a designer. I have to learn UI/UX Design? or are there another ways to do that work?
@@Ahmed-157 Interesting, i'll try that way to solve that problem. thank you for the answer. One more thing: Where i can find cheap user interface designs?
@@tsacripanti if you are asking for implementation of that ui for client projects in form of websites then i suggest you to get inspiration from dribble, behance, uplabs etc. Am sure you will get designs that are specific to your use cases too.. :)
Yep, got a good friend that is retiring from teaching phys'ed and now he wants a website to promote his coaching gig. You don't have to go far to find your first gigs to add to your portfolio.
Friends and family Freelancing platform Networking with other freelancers ( make best of use of social platform ) Content creator ( start small like starting a blog or medium article ) word of mouth ( for established people ) Don't spam , don't be too much aggressive to get client Do your best even it's a free or demo project
Thanks a lot. Register a company, it's easy and cheap. l found this useful in showing potential customers your professionalism. This helped me land on a longer contract Job.
Great content as always! I’m looking to start freelancing or get a web dev job. However, if I was to start freelancing, I don’t know what tools/technologies should be used to do so. Any suggestions? I’ve thought about using the Wordpress API with Gatsby or Next. Thanks!
Hi Brad.. I just have enrolled for Modern HTML and CSS ... Seeing so many positive reviews and am sure I am going to be a successful freelancer under your guidance. Keep up the good work
Hello brad...i came here just see ur face...from few days i hav been following ur udemy course on htmlcss..and fully satisfied..but in those videos i could listen ur voice so i was curious see u..thanks again for the best courses on udemy..plz do some on app development also
Great content! Do you believe it's worth also learning SEO? I'm a newly self-taught dev. While looking for a role, I also wanted to start building my clientele. I'm an ex-hairstylist, so I know the grind is there, but I wanted to see if I should also learn SEO. Thx!
I will say contribute to the Open source projects. It will help you gain knowledge, how to work with team (remote), Getting job & Its a professional courtesy.
Hello dear brad i had learnt a lot from you. your teahing method is really good. I had used your udemy course of php oop development. I have created some projects as well but i am getting difficulty to use json in that project what should i do? Any tops?
Is there such thing as junior machine learning engineer? Is it possible to get your very first job as programmer straight into ML? And that on the base of being self taught, studying for about 6 months, about 2 hours per day. Also moving from totally different field and starting your studies from the basics of Python.
Hey Brad, what language or tech stack would you recomment to get into ecommerce? I mean the one that gets you more jobs out there? I know that Shopify(Ruby/Jekyll), Wordpress/WooCommerce(PHP) are probably the most known but I would love to get your opinion in order to ponder
Hi Brad. I'm learning Web Development through your channel. I have a question if you don't mind. What should I do in order to put my project on Google and everyone can find my website and see it and use it? Thanks for answering.
@@__Y1a2s3h4__ If you mean for a course, I have a team working the Udemy q/a. I can not just offer general support to everybody. I would not have any time for anything else :)
Is TopTal even an option when you're starting out? Don't they require over 2 years experience? Just generally asking cause I'm interested in shooting my shot, as I only have a year's experience.

Couldn't have said better 😂
Thank you!! As a laid off dev going on my own - this is where I am.
