tensazangetsu20: Hello. Good evening. I'm currently learning JS and sometimes I wonder if these skills are still relevant to web design/web dev. because there are so many automated websites or app one could use to get these things done.? |

Drella: Stay on course with programming by hook or by crook. You can't go wrong with coding. It pays serious cash. Have a friend who started a dev career after our first degree while I jettisoned back to med school. Dudes in Germany now banging fresh white pussy while I'm here struggling with ASUU strike. Copy writing. Digital marketing. Data entry and all that stuff might be easier to get into but they don't have the solid career path nor the financial reward that comes with coding. Struggle to get a laptop that can do the basics right and drown yourself with all the coding tutorials you can find. Stick to this and you'll thank me in 2 years Max. That's if you're intelligent and smart of course. Coding needs a smart and analytic mind. 9 Likes 1 Share |

xalex77c: You have to be creative, yes. But it's not really rocket science. The devil is in the details, as they say. It is practice, practice and practice. And, you have to cultivate the habit of reading books and studying copy samples that pulled in massive sales before. Also you probably do not have a direct mentor to guide you through. If you go at it alone, you won't get anywhere fast. By the way, what Copywriting courses did you get? Is it free or paid? 1 Like 1 Share |
Re: Advice An Intending Freelancer by Energyking(m): 12:19am On Jun 16, 2021 |
delugadou: YouTube videos? They won't help you much except tell you what it is, not how it is actually done. That's because every copywriter has a different point of view and manner of approach to writing their copy. All you'll get in YouTube are the basic, beginner level stuff. You're better off paying for courses by great copywriters that can take you in-depth into the skill. There are many of those depending on what you're looking for |

Johnne32: Good advice. I'm also doing content writing. Submitted many proposals on upwork, none have contacted me. I know my experience might be bogging me down, as its not impressive just yet What do you advice bro? |
Re: Advice An Intending Freelancer by Johnne32(m): 12:49am On Jun 16, 2021 |
jimmiedave: First of all, know which one you want to take out time to learn. For free courses, you may be able to see some on Udemy, Coursera and Youtube. A quick google search will give you some answers. For a paid course, you can chat me up so that I can refer you to the one I took. |

martinz23: I'm also a mathematics graduate. I did a 6 months data science internship last year so I can tell you that the data science/analytics field is very wide. To be able to offer the skills online, you need to be very good in it and that would take you a significant amount of time. If you are serious, then chat me up on WhatsApp so that I will direct you on how to get free Datacamp subscription for two months so that you can get started with learning. Just my little way of helping |

delugadou: Look for a course you know you can learn and perfect within 60 days. That's the summary of my advice to you. I could tell you to learn coding or data science or one exotic course, and won't be anywhere near competent in 60 days. So check yourself and know the skill you already have. Look for a course to develop that skill to competency level, then begin applying for jobs on Upwork. Yesterday I came across a Nigerian boy on Reddit. He had made $1000 from Upwork as a Tech writer, and writing about chess. I was surprised because I didn't even know writing about Chess was a thing. So, just search yourself and look for a skill you can develop. On the long run, you could start learning those other "exotic" skills. 2 Likes |
