Thanks, the hardest part for me is marketing.

The hardest part for me is the actual the design and knowing what looks good and what doesn't.

"YOU ARE WORTH IT" - words we all need to hear. Thank you Kyle!

From my experience freelancing. Pick a niche and focus on that. Even as a web developer pick a market, it would be easier to market as well.

I agree that developers should be better at marketing themselves. Lots of freelance web developers are really skilled but don't know how to present their skills to clients.

Exellent point on pricing. I go to freelance social events annually and the most controversial topic is freelancers under selling themselves. What people don't realise is that if you charge really low rates you won't be held in high regard. This comes from people not being confident enough in their ability or fear never getting hired because of lack of experience, so they charge low rates to get clients willing to hire them but then not raising their rates over time.

The part of knowing the purpose of a project is the best tip. Thanks, this video is an eye opener for me.

Thanks very much for sharing the bundle Kyle :) And I’m really glad to hear you found it helpful. Your advice in this video is excellent. Thanks for sharing these tips!

Hey! Thanks a lot for your valuable pieces of advice!

Thanks for the video man

Really great advice.

Great content again! ❤❤❤

This video is great! Thank you :)

I would say another tip would to be using frameworks like bootstrap or tailwind even. Basically anything that can save you time. Unless the client specifies the project to be 100% custom. Which the price should reflect. I remember doing my first freelance project in just straight html CSS and JavaScript and it took much longer than necessary. I did all the writing optimized the 50+ images designed the UI and then built and deployed the site for 400$. It was not a good call on my part.

Really interesting and valuable information! I must have made at least 3 mistakes!

Really helpful video ❤❤

Very beautiful explanation

Thank U so much man

another great vid!!

please make a video on creating a website development to deployment for clients.

interesting main page, love it hahaha.

Nice video bro :)

You are awesome 👍 make some more videos on freelancing world

Thanks...❣️

It's good to hear some of those things said out loud. Thank you! ...Also: *Mistake #6: Driving away potential customers by saying "expecially"* 😜

😲 so much good info. I made the mistake of being too technical and then offered to do it free for a relative. Big mistake as the "client" indeed wanted to dictate what I was doing

Thanks Kyle. I'm about to start as a freelancer with my friends, and you give me more confidence.

Hi, nice video, can you make a web dev setup (pc, tools, ..) and how you record your videos; Thank you

What screencast & video editing software do you use? Any suggestions on where to get started on learning how to make nice videos like yours?

Thanks

very usefull video❤

make sure you take up projects that eventually get you paid. Clients offering you equity for an upcoming startup is not the way to go. Most of these startup ideas are in ideation and the project takes a huge amount of engineering and time. If it fails, due to any reason, it's upto you to get the project monetized and then there's a whole different story. So ... that's my experience. It's always okay to discuss pay, as I have found.

Do you think is good to start freelancing on sites like upwork?

Clients don't need to know all the technical details unless they have some technical requirement. Let's say they want access the database from some tool to do business analytics, then they would care if it is a SQL-based server or not. They simply care about what would impact their business.

My suggestion is find any business in your neighborhood and talk about website/web app if they don't have

finally new thumbnail

Hello pls make a video on how to start freelancing as a junior developer with no experience

what stood out the most to me is the technical side of it, yeah i know html, css, basic javascript php and mysql and can develop nice looking websites but no i'm not so tech savvy enough to tell the client i recommend you go this route and here's why... i want to launch my web development business and need to fill this gap... where do i get this experience before interacting with my real clients

cool video)

I got a question you said that don't use technical term with clients so in my gig title should I say "I do web development" or "I do react / react native"?

Make sure to like the vid!

how does the client know how many hours you worked if u are remote

I know plenty of bad developers who are always busy. It sucks.

I'm Jr. Front End Developer looking for my first freelancing work, please suggest which websites I should apply ?

1. Don't Too Much Technical talk with client. (Explain simply) 2. Market yourself 3. Should be..high paid. 4. Better approach. (Introduced your Idea) 5. Understand Purpose your project.

Awesome sir can you make a video on Axios

Thanks for this amazing video. 👍 Could you Please suggest the best Websites for Freelancing for the Web Developers? Please-Please, give a Reply to this query.

Can anyone suggest how to build order management system for ecommerce site. I want to build from scratch using JS and React

nice

Nice Video👍 #ItsMD

Lol i have clients and i haven't even finished learning backend yet 😂

I'm learning web development. Interested in backend but I'm currently learning frontend. Should I really learn frontend?

Am not a free lancer but for those of you who are free Lancers. How do you compete with people from other countries that will charge $10 which is alot for them but nothing for some of us.

Dude you have the same voice as brackeys (youtuber)

So using React to Brochure websites is overkill ? why is that ? for me coding in react in 100x time faster than vanilla, 2020 no one should code in vanilla html/css/js it is a terrible idea and not scalable, if your client someday want a little upgrade like a new service, it is a terrible idea to not use a framework nowadays, they were created to simplify web dev in a very elegant way, everyone should use them....bad advice for this one

can you seriously get paid 100$ per hour? cause in my country you need to work 48 hours a week to get those 100$

I hope to "hire a client"

the low price thing, while it's important to understand, the reality of the dynamics is someone is going to eat shit. telling new developers that they should charge $100/hr doesn't allow anyone to cut their teeth. people want the prize without the work. new developers need projects, they need to understand WHY they should be worth the cost, and simply learning projects isn't learning web development. real world projects are the reality of what the work really is, not a project that is put out on the web that someone does at their own pace, without having to deal with all of the other aspects. when is a good time to start scaling up your pricing? you'll know when. it's the same feeling of why you started development in the first place. whatever pushed you to become better or to change career field, is exactly what will tell you when you should start charging more, and when you should drop those clients that you may still have expecting more for less. sorry not sorry, but, new developers do not have the full experience to charge the same rate as senior developers. this idea that you should charge high out the gate is another theoretical statement that can work for people that are very good with sales/business communication in the first place, but, not so good if you're technically minded but not good with people. it's also something a lot of very well established developers say, because they are doing the same cycle that came before them, with literally every business, of trying to raise up the value of the industry, which is good, but, not practical for a new developer. it's great to know what you should theoretically do. you can approach the client with what they are doing wrong, but, a lot of this actually falls on "soft skills" and how you deliver the message. i respect that you made the vid, it's just unfortunate that youtube is how it is in regards to marketing and the "5 blah blah blah" is more interesting to more people than an hour long class discussion on business practices in general.

i am doing free lancing in google site for 1 year for a college. Cost is low. Teachers post notes and videos to repective dept.

Mistake #1 is being a freelancer, you are toast! you should aim to incorporate and setup a small biz (with a friend, TRUSTED family member or spouse), get your paperwork and taxes setup on the get go

Always remember to repent of your sins (sin is transgression of YAHUAH The Father In Heaven’s LAW: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, & Deuteronomy) And Have Belief On Yahusha The Messiah. HE Died and Rose three days later so that you can be forgiven of your sins! HE Loves you! Come to HIM🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂
