I'm good at saying Hello World in an infinite loop
A good strategy might be to charge a very small amount per "hello world". $0.00000000001 sounds pretty reasonable to the client, but you'll still make infinite money.
@@williamdowling7718 😂
while True:
print("Hello World")
Switch loop or for loop
Will ya do it for about tree fiddy
Im good at a coding technique called 'copying shit together from stack overflow and somehow trying to get it to work.
Lol!!!
whether we like it or not it is an essential part of being a developer. embrace it
@@kamill704 thing is, the surprise that it works comes from lack of self confidence, but the understanding of how it works is more critical cause when similar problems occur they will be able to solve them faster and better.
isn't everyone like that 😂
Ahahahahah
Nobody pays attention to the fact that Tim seems to be a really nice guy and the effort he puts in the Python community which is really great at his young age.
We need more people like you Tim.
@Pytorials why?
Agreed
@@dontstopwhenuaretiredstopw3265 think a bit
@@dontstopwhenuaretiredstopw3265 did you get it yet?
Tim: Calls pygame projects "little crappy games"
Also tim: Makes a literal tower defense game
No wonder he is a Microsoft intern in his 2nd year of engineering
Actually the basic ones seem very easy. Like for example tetris. Once you understand the logic, nothing can stop you except performance
"little crappy games" with 400 lines f code
@@anass.codes1 that's pretty easy to achieve, realistically at least a quarter of it is just copy and paste most of the time, or from stack overflow, Yknow, reused code
@@anass.codes1 If it's 400 lines for a "little crappy game" there's a good chance it was made with "big crappy code".
More code !== better code.
Always remember the basic rule of consulting: "I can be fast, cheap and good. Pick two."
I love this
Cheap and good ? So u spend more time making something good but get paid less ?
@@10highsky think it through, the full phrase.
@@fudgenuggets405 yh I did. It partly makes sense but partly doesn't
@@10highsky ok, I’ll make it clearer with an example. You spec out a project and say you can meet all the requirements (maybe even a few extras) for $10,000 and it will take a month. The company you are in contact with says great, but we need it in three weeks instead. Fine, either the price goes up (now you’re fast and good) or some of the requirements get dropped (now you’re fast and cheap).
Getting paid “less” is relative. The dollars earned are lower but maybe it means you can get by working half a day or don’t need to put in extra time at night / weekends. Some find lower stress to be a very nice trade off for lower compensation.
First step: Choose a market which you can monopolize
Second step: Get rich
It dosen't work like that I'm affraid
@@ThePhantomCoder It was a joke
@@migueldomingos4570 In that cse sorry about that

And i want u to help me like he did for u
Can i get your email so we can talk after???
@@goromajima7975 bro I'm following Tim as well and he does an amazing work nothing to say he helped me very well.
But it is a good to be surrounded by friends with who you can discuss about coding. It's an amazing way to improve also I think.
@@goromajima7975 hum that sounds good. Gimme one
@Darth Canid clearly said man, thank u so much for this. I'll do so😊
@Majin Buu hey bro, hows the code?
Didn't think there was a market for simple 2D games lol
like who tf is buying a tetris game for 200 bucks lol
@@ethanperry8 just because he made it
@@ethanperry8 well, I mean it's probably a copyright thing, if you want to implement it into your website or something for example, you can't just use other people's games, you have to own it or pay for it anyways

For the TICTACTOE game i bet it was for a students uni project XD.
There is literally nothing else it could be lol
Someone saw that "Do you need help to finish your homework project?" and said "Shut up and take my money!"
Very cool, I've been thinking on start freelancing, and as you said there's no harm on trying it a Lil bit
Nice to have you Tim. Good job.
6:18 "only 800 lines of code" that one hit me hard
100++ lines of code means there is something wrong in the project structure, which is not a good practice.
Depends on the priority, speed or scalability.
@@retzd yes you're ryt.
Thanks a lot, helped me to get an idea to resedign my freelancing, as I started poking to proyect offers in upwork and freelancer... Definitely will do my gig in fiverr
Not to sound repetitive, but thank you for the information! From a beginner that loves all the tips and tricks from successful people like you. Keep up the good work and thank you again!
so you succeeded?
Thanks bro for sharing your experience, I have plan to start freelancing again
Hello Tim,
I love your contents and i am here to tell you that, i created my fiverr account as soon as i watched this video back in November 2020. And now, I made around 3 ~ 4 grands of usd 🔥 from freelancing. That means a lot to me because, I am just a 16yo teen.
Thank you so much and keep up the good work!
Hi bro! Is there a way to contact you? I really want to hear more about your story and experience and would appreciate it if you could help me.
It is long way to get where you're now,hope some day i will be able to get paid for coding. Great video,very helpful,thank you.
dude this gives me so much inspiration as a 17yrd old programmer
You're uploading faster. Yaayy!!
Tim, thank you for making this video! This helps me have a much better understanding of the this side income. I hit the subscribe button! 😀
Well it was about a year ago i was just a beginner and i followed you and then i got a job where i deal with react and django the most epic thing is that i am just 17 years old and i am earning and i am proud to be me :) . Thanks for bringing such amazing content .I also started my own channel where i talk about tech and trends i think all of you will help me
Hi, I also have your age and I'm learning Django with Vue js e with design as well (html, css).
I didn't make any freelance yet, but I'd like to know if you have something to say that can be useful for me? Like a advice or something, also, how did you get your job?
Thanks to your previous video about making money with coding, I earned my first money. I made simple shooter in unity. Got 5$ from that.
this is a 2yr old video but still it increased my confidence. Thanks🙌🏻
Great video Tim. Ive always been intrigued about how you package and deliver a software product on these freelance sites. Is it just a case of sending over a .py file in this case?
Thank you so much for the tips Tim.
I love this! I’m a Comp Sci major myself and I’m just starting to learn python. Most of my programming proficiency is in Java but I’m also looking to branch out. This video is definitely helpful to me! Thank you!
Well this isn't easy as it looks or you made it look like ,one needs to really know everything about the skill he is promoting himself to be known of ,also you had other details like efficient code and all that , that's what caught the eyes of people but also the thing's you delivered high quality stuff to them!
If I could ever get as good at python as this guy, I'd live a much happier life, and I'd truly have accomplished something that would make me happier. I don't even know if I could get there in ten years.
Really nice sharing your experience, hope the best for you bro
Some useful points i excerpted with some of my interpretation
Find a specific tool with a small market. One that delivers a product widely enough sought after
Focus on the end product you deliver. That's what the client will think about. But you shouldn't limit yourself to it. In Tim's case - simple 2d game
Have enough projects that show your competence and passion - this is important
Let people bargain with you. Don't undervalue yourself
Thanks, man. You just earned a subscriber
Interesting. I started coding in university and then fell in love with web development and it became my job during studying.. So basically I went from no coding knowledge to full time coding in less than 3 years. Freelancing seems too stressful lol
Will starting thinking abt it soon
Thank you so much for give my spark and motivation for earning money using programming....and I say only one thing....You are Super Great.
That logo and video editing skills
Woah!
Your videos really have been helping me. I’ve been watching them for weeks and it has helped me come a long way. Thank you 🖤.
I’m pretty new to coding and have been learning HTML, CSS, and some JavaScript for the last 3 months and made some really basic websites so I’m still not entirely sure I can make income from it yet in freelance but I’d love to be able to do that one day.
Gimme ur github or anything when i can look up and check ur projects. I am Front-End Dev and I've been doing Front-End for over 2 years and i have really great knowledge about website structure, standards etc.
@@greysinferno8214 u need portfolio cause without it u will be in the trouble.... Nobody will ever interview you or anything if u don't have ur projects on github. No worries tho give urself a time and let me know when something will be on your github then i will be able to give u a feedback about ur websites and projects.
@@JEsterCW hey I'm new to this coding stuff. I'm a graphic designer and I want to expand my knowledge. You seem like a cool guy and I wonder if I can ask you anything about programming. Maybe we can have conversations on discord or something if you don't mind. I won't ask too much things that will annoy you haha. Just enough for me to get going and understand what I'm doing. It would be great if we can do that.
@@JEsterCW Sorry,im also new to coding,pls when i start putting things my github can i also let u know
Heloo everyone , I'm your follower for a long time , Very usefull video , Thanks for video ,Good Luck to you !!!
I'm in my 1st semester of University (as a Computer Scientist). In the programming course we had that tic tac toe game in our mids. Like we had to code it on paper.
All of these things are assignments. It’s essentially doing someones homework for them.
That's exactly what I thought!
These people were gonna cheat their assignments anyways, might as well profit from it
Hey, if they pay for it, go for it. In the end you end up profiting, and for those who end up cheating they will find out the hard way that the real world is not so kind.
Now you know why today's dev world full os shitty devs :3
@@savire.ergheiz idk, usually people who cheat these assignments don't wanna be devs but have to do the assignments anyways
I saw one of your videos yesterday where you stream for 12 hours and I immediately subscribed. I have been looking through your videos and I am impressed not only with your coding skill but also the way you express yourself e.g great communication and also the way you clearly explain the concept and you are only 19 years old.
I have one question is there a reason why you stopped freelancing because you have already built up some clients and reviews. I know in one of your videos that mentioned that you work for a company that also sponsors your video and you also do youtube videos and maybe you pressed for time.
Because this channel makes him over 8000$ a month and he's probably focused on his RUclips career which is time consuming also.
Good and instructive video on freelance coding on Fiverr. Thanks for sharing !
Me: for 75$ has to be asking for something at least good right ?
Result: Tic-Tac-Toe
Yeah so I think I’ll start doing some fiverr
not only tictactoe, tictactoe in the console lmao
@@raphaelmorgan2307 just made a black jack in console only took 5 hours and there were many tutorials i could follow
Thanks for motivating bro♥️
Thank you. you always inspire me.
To be honest, I feel like half these people are just asking you to do their homework sadly...
Half? Literally all of these look like homework assignments
As long as the pay check comes in, who gives a f***?
@@ZukoTheShinigami amen, I mean it's not the seller that's gonna pay for it later lol
So proud to be here within first 25 mins after upload 😄
i was literally talking about freelancing on fiverr and this video comes up. am I the chosen one!
chupp saale.
U re my brother, u re :). Pre sur
@@salmanbehen4384 what did u get from sending that hate comment 😂
Wait the same with me, what the hell are ya kidding me
I think this proves Google is listening us from our phones
Really helpful brother!!🥰
LOVE from INDIA!
This really gives me hope that even if I fuck up I'll still be able to pull shit together somehow
"I will copy stuff from stack overflow"
At first I was skeptical this would be something I could do, then I saw the code and was like “oh, maybe I can”
When you have lots of ideas on how to tackle freelancing and market yourself, but you're living in a country that still doesn't support PayPal in 2020...
leb ?
@@tjoe2194 Got me
Yasss!
Eh, Paypal is still a shitty company and I would rather avoid doing business through them. Fiver doesn't support other payment methods?
@@SammyOdds all of the freelance websites I've been to supported PayPal. Some had other options, however they were also out of my reach...
You got talent. Keep it up
Thanks for this video!
Thanks bro for a wonderful video . please make a video for the requirements needed for creating a account ,gig etc and how we can receive payment.
Yo Man I am Gaming with Gantavya. And I wish you beef of luck regarding your freelancing career
Interesting journey 😃
In terms of services, you can charge higher prices if your services generate a positive return for your customers.
Sup tim
Epic video as always
Thanks for some concepts of earning online, btw do you send the code itself, file or sth like this to ur customers
thanks for this information
This is amazing 🥺
Where have you been this long time?! Great video man!
been struggling to look for a job in this this tech market, so I am def gonna look for a gig. ive def freelanced before
That tic tac toe game was the exact same project I had while in school for CS lol
This was super helpful
Oh, that’s really nice. I want to get a gig of all this freelancing stuff.
why are there dislikes? This guy wants to help you, why do you dislike is it?!?!
One thing you can do is Quote a little higher price, than find someone that will do it for you cheaper. Your the middle person. I use to buy products from Amazon, eBay and other places and sell them via Craigslist. I see people doing this too. They bid first on eBay and sell it back as soon as they buy it. Saw a lady buy a nice bike for like $10. on facebook, and sell it minutes later for $100.
Tim who could probably run a whole development project himself:
"Super simple only took me about 4 - 5 hrs."
Nice information video tq bro for uploading
Tim where do you get the sprites for your games?
what software did you use to make your intro animation bro? after effect? or cinema?
I don't know about other fields but it is a race to the bottom in the graphic design.
You made my hope too much. I have no word to say you thank you. I'm from Bangladesh. I was searching this type of video for a long time. Please present some of your web development project (like these type which you have sold). Love you brother. I am waiting for your response.
Motivating Video
The guy with the raspberry pi project watching this video punching air rn...
I watched the video posted before, and now, I already earned 1.7k in 2.5 months! Thank you for telling me about fiverr and motivating me!
yh right
Last one, I also screen print t-shirts, sweat shirts, hoodies, and mugs. Just in case you're over paying else where.
I just went on to Fiverr to see how competitive the Fiverr pygame market is and somebody copied your profile word for word 😭
u r amazing dude
First 500$ are really difficult to make but once you get used to then It is really easy to make money, as many people will look at your experience and will give you work
My man did a few coding projects for students to submit and didn't realize it. 😂
This merch is just so gooood
Now I just need to save up a bit...
Very detailed and informative video. I'm sure this will inspire many people to make some money by following your tips. Good job! 👍🏽💸
Hello, I'm kinda late, I have a big question, how did you give the games? like "you must install pygame with a 'pip install pygame'" or created an exe file or how does your clients worked?
we need a new video on this in 2024 on how to freelance as a developer
thanks! now i know what i can do for money to buy my dream pc and buy other things!
Cool video, thanks
Waiting for the android development tutorials
There are some Kivy Turorials on his channel.
Watch flutter playlist from Net Ninja.
He made Flutter tutorials already, check it out!
Happy New Year
08:34. WOW Man... Thats very ingenious...
It would be great to make a video showing us how to setup fiverr
Tim is the best!
nice video thanks
Thank you tim
