I don't know why y'all are doubting the fact that it's humanly feasible for a newbie with thorough dedication to build a project in three months.

And I'm sure a $400 gig must be a static website, so there's nothing unbelievable about op's claim.

How he got the job with zero portfolio should be the bone of contention.

Na marketing strategy, his bait could only catch some beginners in the field who are bent on making fast money. Dude actually knew he would get dms and probably sell some courses that'll also teach them how to close such gigs

I'm an optimistic person. I wanted to earn through programming but I had no knowledge. I mean, I could code nothing.

I was already into research writing, graphics editing, and virtual assistance..but I wanted to be a jack of all trade and master of all.

What I did? I created a profile on freelance sites that I was a programmer. Like I basically had specialised profiles for research writing, graphic editing, and virtual assistance.

Guess what? I got a gig of $400. Agreed, I knew HTML and a bit of CSS..but that's not programming.

What I did? From the $400 paid, I paid a tutor $100 to teach me and was using the client's job to test my skills. I am a very fast learner.

This is a risky thing to do and it's not totally advisable but if you are like me who MUST earn money legally, and a fast learner, it's worth the try.

So I finished the job. But I was only 90% sure I got it right. I sent it to my tutor to help me check “what I did myself and practised “ and he made few corrections, I incorporated, and I submitted.

grin

In essence, my first programming job was my learning centre and I still gained $300.

Why don't you work smart nah? Please learn a digital skill today grin
