I no blame you at all.. Na people like tensazangetsu20 wey dey always post sweet things about coding wey dey enter una eye I blame.. Now all of una don dey rush dey come oversaturate things for people wey genuinely wan learn for passion and not money. You only started your coding journey few weeks ago but the first question you uselessly decided to ask as a useless goat that you are is how you can make money. If making money was your problem why not go do ritual or Yahoo because it's even faster that way I can see that the only reason you decided to learn programming is because of money or maybe all the sweet things you've been reading online and not because you're passionate about programming.. So I'm sorry to tell you that you're already a failure from the get go and mark my words, you'll end up selling that your laptop for something else when the wrath of JS begins to hit you hard..
Useless goat

youre a useless bastard and youre the one who will never succeed in this carreer. no one give a F** about your pasiion. you can go f** it. fucker

But I have been thinking, when I have a good understanding of coding, how do I make money from it?

Lets not only be suggesting tech skills but ways to monetize the skill too...

Your question should rather be:
How Do I Create Value with my skill and experience As A Web Developer?

Money is a by-product of creating value.
You can as well sell your time in addition to creating value for others.

We all know you are hiding to perpetrate evil.
If you do for passion alone and not money, is it yahoo that is feeding your fetish azz? Keep switching accounts and demotivating any web developer trying to start their journey because you feel they could be your target on Nairaland. Keep trying, oga na-me!

The below is an excerpt from the original post

when I have a good understanding of coding, how do I make money from it?

To me OP is just after what to target to help him start making money and that's not a bad question in any way. Perfection will always come via practice but if it is possible to start making money while gaining perfection then better.

The guy is after a particular Nairalander. He needs to attack anybody matching the profile of his target that's why he targets every one and has many user accounts. Leave him.

I didn't suggest he should not earn.
The goal should be to solve problems and create value. Not to make money.
It's bad that this money thing is seeping into programming.. Programmers don't think 'about' money. We think about responsibilities, optimization and growth. The rest flows in.

There is a growing calibre of new devs collecting projects and upfront payment, then disappearing, or doing very poor work since they are only after money.
If you care for the OP, let him gain from my little piece of advice. It starts with him answering the question I put there. It's completely harmless.

Sombody on this thread used one week to learn a framework and got a job. There is no template to this thing. I am no longer an authority in this programming matter abeg.
Meanwhile guys check out this job site otta dot com is very good with testimonies.

Oga thank you.

Most commenters with 100 yrs of exp, 10 remote jobs, earning big pay, will never give a useful info like dis.

Thanks.

I hate LinkedIn and all those old sch sites.

No body actually gave u a meaningful advice or suggestion. Sorry! Na so d forum b.

Every man for him self...

E go beta.

FahBuLous:
This is the more reason why I hate useless Nigerians...

I came here to ask a simple question and you are already talking rubbish...

I just started but then many people have been asking, so I brought the topic up, if you didn't have anything reasonable to contribute, just shut the Bleep up FOOL...

Why are you wasting you strength insulting me. I’m a full time web developer. I didn’t insult you but it’s funny �. How can you just be starting something and you are asking how to make money. If you hear requirements to make money from web development you will get discouraged. You will need at least html, css, php and JavaScript. This will be used for just simple websites. And trust me JavaScript is a lot on its own. So yeah to make money you would either focus on websites, software or consoles. As a Nigerian the easiest way is to design websites and and write scripts. Just leave money first and learn. I don’t think their is any good web developer out there that’s totally broke�. Money will come believe

Making money via Web Dev, this is based on my observation.

1. Fulltime Job - Getting paid monthly from employer 100% Guarantee
2. Side-gigs: Upworks/LinkedIn and contractual jobs
3. Platform consulting: Being a Partner to a platform and consulting for their customers. e.g Shopify/Moodle
4. Saas - Building products and collecting monthly
5. Commission/sales: Selling a temaplte/plugin in a market like placeor Shopify commissions from Apps/Theme
6. Startup - Own a Startup or business
7. Tech Writing: Writing articles to promote tech products
8. Content Creator


I have listed everything, not to sound pessimistic, I don't think everyone might achieve this, because of the attitude, and unseriousness. I've seen a moniker learning how to code for months and just insulting others. The serious ones will ignore the comments and move on.

But this is how you make money online, and also these things are hard, it involves constant reading, and constant comprehension.

airsaylongcome , DrLevi and tensazangetsu20 have all mentioned it, you have to code and practice daily, there is no shortcut. Tech is not as rosy as people paint it, it's brutal, you don't meet up and you're sacked.

A word is enough for the wise.

because in this programming section, if indeed there are smart devs here, it shouldn't be hard to discuss the OP's topic without insults.

This is very apt. Thanks chief

@qtguru very well summarized.

A few pointers I'd like to share are:

Get a Domiciliary account right away. Get USD, GBP and EUR accounts. You don't have to put money in them but get them down. When you start earning you don't want to start running around looking for reference.

Be willing to start small. Too many people have "big" eyes and want to start earning $50/hr with absolutely NO Experience. You go wound. Starting small also means looking at so-called small roles, particularly Tech support. You'd be surprised the number of Tech support roles that start at a decent amount. In the US for example, you can get an Independent Contractor role starting at $15/hr at 8 hours daily. That's at least 160hrs per month or $2,400 in monetary terms.

Network. Network. Network. I'm not a fan of LinkedIn but you can always leverage networks there. Also grow your knowledge. Join forums related to your role or field. Reading alone will give you exposure. I leverage a lot on reddit and even got my first ever job from there.

Check the Career pages of businesses you are interested. A lot of businesses are moving to remote and you'd be surprised at what you'd find there. I recently checked the career page of an Inventory management software company that I had used in 2014. The company were willing to hire me given my prior experience in Supply Chain and IT background. I recommended a former colleague (because the timezone was clashing with my current job). That colleague after getting the job, now feels like he owes me. Told him straight up he doesn't. If I didn't have a good opinion of him I would not have thought of him.

Annd finally, experiment, experiment, experiment. Get your hands dirty. One of the key points in my favor when I got my first remote role was that I had experience with some of their work tools. Truth be told, I barely knew how to use the tools. But I had come across them during my several open source experiments and they were impressed that I had even taken time to figure out how to install and use the tools. I am a "lazy IT person" and will never look at building a solution if an open source solution exists. My experimenting with open source software has opened quite a few doors for me. If you can't code but have an interest in how software can be used in enterprise situations, get your hands dirty researching. I am attaching an image I got from reddit that identifies major Enterprise software and their open source alternatives.

Wish everyone luck

Boss please is this system OK for programming Dell Precision M4500
8Gb Ram, 500GB HDD, Core i7 Octa core 1GB dedicated graphics card. Windows 11.

how much did you buy this laptop

Ayinke93:
Your patience doesn't mean much to be honest. Let the market filter out the quacks like you said. And the thing about programming as a profession is, you don't actually learn much on your own until you enter the real world and see how things work. I for one started learning html on my first internship, learnt react on my second and started earning over 500k barely six months after I got my first internship and that number has significantly increased now.
The point is, allow different things motivate people and let everybody carry their own cross. This method worked for me and I will be evil to discourage someone else. Everything depends on how you market yourself , how fast you can learn and being lucky to find people that actually care about your growth and are patient.
every mallam with him kettle. peace!!

Sounds more like that guy is stick in the "tutorial hell". Talmabout patient. Pffft

Advice needed here too
Wanna delve into cybersecurity (I'm a total novice).
I don't even know why I choose cybersecurity,prolly cus the name sounds dope.

Is udemy a good place to learn it?

Baba forget money now, and build things, money will come after two years of constant practice and building solutions

tensazangetsu20:
Yeah it is. Install Linux when you get it. It's sufficient.

please is corei3 okay for web development,.. will it accept visual studio code app??

airsaylongcome:
I literally put a basic Linux command in front of you. You cannot go anywhere in Cybersecurity without a very good grasp of Linux operating System. I put a very rudimentary Linux command in front of you. That was basically the equivalent of asking someone who says they want to be a neurosurgeon if they knew what a cell was. Any inquisitive mind would have googled that command as a first attempt. But no, you are running off saying I'm vague. I'm not. It was in plain sight. But do you bro. You will be a great Cybersecurity expert.

And oh, the "white-lady" that called you? That's a sales call. She was after your money and after her sales target. I'm neither. I am happy to help and guide folks especially if they are looking at other fields in tech other than dev. I'm not a Cybersecurity professional, let alone expert. But I have access to get you training materials (at my own cost) for one of the most valued Cybersecurity Certification, Certified Ethical Hacker. I've sent materials to a handful of folks in different parts of this country from Nairaland here. I don't hoard information. I enjoy getting others to learn. But there has to be a very basic inquisitiveness. But like I said earlier, do you. There's enough space in the "tech sky" for everyone. You will flourish in the same sky.

Edit: So you made a comment that "That's a lady abroad using her own units to call me."

No she did not use her airtime. She called you at company's expense. At almost next to nothing. It was a VOIP call which is the same as a whatsapp call. How do I know? I (in your words "a local Blackman" ) work as an Engineer for an American business providing such call solutions to other American businesses. It was near free, costing only a few kilobytes for the RTP audio. Less than a dollar. Phone calls aren't a big deal for Americans. They call like crazy.

Reading this bro, I am compelled to make some enquiries from you about tech.... Please can I DM?
