How Can I Make Money As A Web Developer? by CapedBaldy: 10:59am On May 28, 2022 |
Hi guys, I'm a self taught Frontend developer and I need tips on ways I can monetize this skill. I am proficient with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, React, NextJS and Tailwind. My initial plan when I started learning to code was to make money with freelancing. I'm approaching a year on upwork and I have not made one dollar. I also tried fiverr with no luck. I recently started applying for frontend roles at companies but I also have no luck with those. I keep getting rejection emails regularly. I would like advice on how I can make money with this skill. I'm a student and i've invested a lot of time and money into learning this. This situation is becoming very frustrating. Please give me tips on how I can earn some money with this skill. 4 Likes 1 Share |

Recalibrate your mindset. Shift your focus to reach another paradigm. You're having what I call a NFS (Narrowed Focus Syndrome). Your focus is tapered so that you can't discover opportunities and the abilities you have. On the contrary, no person can be passionate about programming and not have the personal resource ( ideas) to creating wealth 2 Likes |

CapedBaldy:First post your portfolio let's help you review it. Secondly, When you do all the edits, go on LinkedIn and filter the search query under jobs to: 1. REMOTE 2. Poland, MEXICO, Columbia, and EMEA nations in general 3. Remote junior dev role 4. Be technology specific 8 Likes 3 Shares |

Offer your skill for free to get experience, build app for people, polish your cv, say how your apps has generated money for companies or solved problems, quantify it.

CapedBaldy: Its not bad honestly get rid of that orange stuff. It should just be black and white. Remove the junior in your bio. You are a developer. Also, add some experience. Places you worked in your post even if it wasn't a development job say you were a developer. Also, where are you applying? Include Nigeria in the list of countries you are applying to its actually easy to get a junior dev role in Nigeria if you are competent and your projects are really good. If you are targeting remote roles, target places like Mexico, South American countries, poorer European countries, and Asian countries like Japan and South Korea. Also you can do everything right and nothing. Like I always tell people its a numbers game. Set a target today to apply to at least 10 jobs everyday. You also need to start getting yourself ready for interviewing. Start doing easy leetcode questions. As a junior, opportunities are hard to come by and once you get an opportunity, you should be able to smash it. If you are looking for things to learn, learn wordpress and learn shopify as those are very important on upwork and can help you earn money. Just keep on applying. 15 Likes 2 Shares |

CapedBaldy:Download IntelligentCV on the play store and follow the template. Your CV structure doesn't look "Globally Competitive". Search a portfolio of Software engineers on Linkedin and see how it is. 4 Likes 1 Share |

Remove the self taught and the frontendmentor on your cv. Remove the apps you have done. Rather write what you can do and quantify your achievement. For example you designed an app which saved 20 naira for company abc. 1 Like |
