A Discouraged Newbie by Mhistaedie01(m): 3:09am On Jan 05, 2022 |
Good day guys I started programming out of passion at first until when stuffs got really tough that I got really got concerned about the money. Currently I'm learning Javascript as i intend to be a web developer. I know the basics of html and css. Most times I do see adverts from some developers about building a website for 20k some of them 15k and it's very discouraging to see such adverts. I'm asking senior and experienced web developers if this is how much they charge for so much work they put into building a website. I know how much my parent sacrificed to get me a laptop and I would to repay them handsomely. Please i'll be delighted if I can get a mentor here. Learning on your own can be confusing at times. 2 Likes |

Mhistaedie01:Getting a mentor here is almost as impossible as finding a dedicated study partner. I believe that's part of the price one needs to pay. On the money aspect, if you're good at it,to accept 250k job as a beginner should come with some level of shakara..... Remember that the journey is not for the faint hearted |

Mhistaedie01:lol. My brother there is money in what you are doing. Trust me. It is a global skill. Please know what you are doing very well first. Those people offering 20k are jokers. Ignore them. |

Because you people are not following the trends that's why, you should be working for platforms and not building websites, there's wix and themes and templates, focus on building plugins or extending a platform, you find gigs and jobs easier, learn the skills that's the most sought after, even if it's complex. Programming is not beans, it's hard for a reason because it requires constant practice. Change from the mindset of building websites to a mindset of developing plugins and extending a platform. You will find plenty clients. The era of web design is gone, B2B platforms should be your focus. All the best 9 Likes |

Mhistaedie01:Their are value delivery worth 20k, there are some worth 200k, there are some worth 20Million. It all depends on how much of value you can give, and how much you know your worth. 20k for a website for me would not exceed script installation and me not typing any line of code. else na slavery. but.................................................................................................................................................................... If you're starting out, make sacrifices to get the experience, but before the sacrifice, learn to communicated your worth |

Mhistaedie01: How can you become good at it, when you are not bad at it yet? I gave some guy same tip - I will give you; Swith to Linux cold turkey. 1. Use codeacademy free; then 2. Use freecodecamp U must finish the codeacademy html/css/js in 30 days (should be 2 weeks). If you don't; get a new account and start all over again. repeat until you succeed. Then move to freecodecamp; Watch interview about other developers talking about how they did it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ewBEPpYYnM&list=RDCMUCSD0dLRGQk_T-D3RvpM5aFQ&index=1 |

Don't be discouraged man. Those ads is similar to someone offering you iPhone 13 for N100k. Shey you get? If you still doubt, just pretend you want to build a website and ask any web developer you know how much they'll charge. 1 Like |

qtguru:I noticed the same , the demand for people who can use no code tools is an untapped niche eg appsheet , adalo , bubble , softr , airtable |
