Great video introducing freelancing, loves especially that sneak peak into a quote :) If I started as a freelancer I would have been scared out of my mind. You have no oversight and don't know what good quality work looks like. Reaching out to get a good mentor looks like a must if you go that route early on. I would argue it's easier to grow with a team at first, but you do have to find that first job.

Been freelancing for 15 years. There needs to be a clear distinction between “working with” and “working for” your clients. The latter is what I see a lot of Juniors, who jump the freelance gun, often succumb to.

I was thinking creating a design beforehand would be half the work. Wouldn't you need that to handle expectations? How do you show the client beforehand what the site will look like? Do you just show them a prebuilt UI library component, a similar website, just a wire frame, or an actual design in Figma?

@joshtriedcoding 10 ай бұрын

I'd recommend you to look into wireframes, they're great for just this use case

@rod6722 10 ай бұрын

So I suppose you mostly get remote (rather than local) clients, correct? Curious about that because I'm from Portugal and if I could charge good money from international clients I'd probably be able to live very comfortably given the low cost of living here. If you do work with international clients, do you find there's much hassle involved in terms of bureaucracy when working with clients from other EU countries?

@joshtriedcoding 10 ай бұрын

Yeah, one client was in-person and all others are remote. The thing that threw me off the most was currency conversion, because for example through PayPal they take a MASSIVE cut. Bureaucracy is not an issue, even when working with clients from the US or so. They've already paid taxes on that money, and so do I here in germany and that's pretty much it

is it okay to examine how other people have done something and read their code if it's available when you're trying to build something? like to see how all the components are working together and then implement your own improved version of that code. I always feel guilty about doing this; it feels like I'm cheating and I don't have any skills.

In school, this could be true, but it's okay, of not better for your clients, if you lean on the work of people that are better than you with experience. After a while, you'll find that you're the one who gets there work copied. Because it'll be good. You will learn best by making things.

The question is, do the stakeholders who hire you watch your tutorials? I think your audience is the developers, but they don't hire you. And I think especially in Germany it's really easy to get hired as a freelance developer. But again it’s changing time for money. Or was you able to find jobs where you was paid by the output / result and not per hour? Don’t get me wrong, i like your channel and share your videos always with my developers. But i was always asking me, if the stakeholder or customers who hires you would really watching your videos?

@joshtriedcoding 10 ай бұрын

Some do, some don't. As for the ones who do, they are usually looking for someone to assist them in building some kind of project. As a freelancer you get to choose the pricing, both per-hour and project based have their own advantages and disadvantages. I mostly go for project-based because it uncouples your productivity from your compensation
