2:50 How long have you been freelancing now? 3:09 How do you know how much to charge? 4:10 How many websites have you made? How do you build your client base? 5:52 What do you think about the future of WordPress? 7:20 What's the biggest contract you've ever had? 8:21 Do you outsource any of your work to other people? 8:12 What is your workflow? 9:45 How do you charge? How much upfront? 11:50 How to find clients.

This dude isn't just a website builder. He sells a whole marketing strategy with it.

Very skilled interviewer. Great content.

This was awesome man. As soon as I land some clients, You and two or three others in KZfaq will be getting some support from me bro. Keep it up.

Much needed video. Thank you josh 🙏

So true, cheapest clients are the worst!

Great video. Thanks for re-editing and uploading the video Josh

Very helpful information, Im planning on doing this with a buddy.

love this type of content

I love the real world tips on what is actually used!

Such a cool and humble guy! Thanks for this content Josh. Cheers bro 👍🏻

Thanks dude You're great 🔥

I love how direct you are with the real question!

Thanks for the advice man!

I literally liked and subscribed at the intro; stay busy get work done!

This video is good, thx for sharing!

Cool, I'll donate in the near future. I just donated to Traversy Media.

This is gold!

Wow this video is gold!

Really helpful video 👌

This video is a gem. Super quality

This is gold

This was a good solid interview, with a really bright developer who knows how to hustle. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Quality freelancing info! Pro tip on hosting.

You are a good interviewer!

More videos like this please :)

10:03 Felt that in my gut. Clients ghosting you after a majority (or all) of the work is done is just a horrible experience.

This is a bit off topic, but I really love your rain window screen saver! I wish I knew where I could find something like that :)

I always say to look for the big projects, they pay better and understand better about respecting the scopes of the project, hence, they never ask for more, and if they do, they are willing to pay for that extra work they are asking for. On the other hand, they are better prepared to provide you with the info you need as well as pictures or texts you'll need in the process, that's something small businesses owners don't understand because they expect you to do everything for them, they even expect you to create the info from their own company, which you are not supposed to know or manage whatsoever.

Man i just started procrastinating because of an intimidating task i'm working on, then he calls me out on it. Better pause the video and get back to work...

dope bro 10/10 would recommend. wordpress is great

how is this video free? no jargon no waiting around to hear something important. this is amazing.

Joshua - don't know what to say...Just simple perfect video 👍👍👍👍 :Excellent expalination. Many thanks for this userful video. Its great 👑💓🕊! i look forward your next vids - eg. covering the WordPress version 6.1 or future Gutenberg - Topics. 👑💓🕊!

you've came along way Josh

Gold... Thanks

Excellent, straight to the point... highly informative, and he gave tips without trying to be secretive.

I've seen this guy Sam on twitch before. Like months ago. Now he's randomly here lol. I asked him a few questions about web development and we had a nice chat. Small world. He told me about his process. The crazy thing is that Sam doesn't even know how to code. He uses builders. He didn't reveal this in the video though. I couldn't believe it when he told me. Makes good money, and doesn't code. Edit: I was wrong lol. He codes a bit. Html and CSS. Before, I wasn't saying that not using code is bad or anything. I just was a bit surprised. Cause I was thinking that I didn't know it was possible to get to that level of high paying clients and large projects without code. If anything, if anyone can do that then they're a genius. I'm pretty sure there's people out there that have found a solution without code that works for them. More power to them.

I'm not procrastinating! I'm learning!

Hi Joshua. I love this video. You can start a series about the different roles you can find in the freelance world, data entry, penetration testing, cloud maintenance....

Great!

I've been studying MVC architecture but right now I need money, even to invest more in my studies and to support myself financially , gonna try Wordpress, learn to create themes, seens like a good way to a new dev earn some money.

the intro...thank you, I'll come back

I was stuck on a comma in Django for 2 hours. It's fixed now.

You don't really need to know php to make a child theme. You just copy and paste a couple files from the main theme and make minor edits (plenty of instructions online). Then you can make edits to the site the same way you would with the main theme. All a child theme does is protect your work from changes when there is a theme update.

Everything my man said in this video, I felt it. It was like we both lived and still live the same life. Great tips here and there for bettering your business.

Thank you for all the knowledge I needed to start as a freelance. I saw in many freelancer pricing, they say they listed "content upload" my question is do client provide content( text/images) or do we have to write from scratch? Or Do we just upload dummy content "lorem ipsum" or "royalty free images"??

Would be great to have this all in A list XD

Thanks 👍

Wordpress is a database management system and much more that small businesses can use to increase their market and customers. Personally I would use a theme and then customize it to their business needs. Why reinvent the wheel to design a new Wordpress site?

Damn it Josh reminding me i have to work and shit.

_Damn, How did you know that I am procastinating when I clicked this?_

Great interview, definitely gave me more insight. What a coincidence, I just created my first ecommerce wordpress website for a company. Being my first job I did not know what to charge, and I think I definitely undercharged them. In the end I charged $1k for the website, I mainly wanted the experience and a solid reference.

Great tips...

Dude, this video is legitimately awesome!, Love your content. Long message incoming, sorry for it. This guy is pretty smart to do business, I will copy some tactics and start digging around CMS to get websites up and running pretty fast. Are you still reviewing portfolios? Let me know if you do, I would like to get a review of mine if you have the time. One more thing, by any chance, do you have or had overseas co-workers with a temporary work visa? I used to live in Park City,Utah and I felt in love with the place, I lived there for 4 months because of an exchange program, do you know if it's possible to land a programming job for 6 months or 1 year with a temporary visa? I'm close to getting my Degree and I consider myself a medium level web developer, would love to go to Park City again or Salt Lake City.

Awesome intro.

I would like to know how he manage all those sites in wordpress. Does he do it in the same wordpress account? Does he has individual wordpress accounts for every client ?

He is an honest person

When we getting that fresh cut back?

Josh: "Stop procrastinating! Do you work" Me: Okay. *minimizes video and listens to video* ._.

Thank you.

Nice intro - sometimes we need a helping boot. :)

I did some wordpress work at my last job. I could totally make wordpress sites now and provide whatever customization a client needs, but literally anyone I talk to only wants to pay a small amount, so I'll just concentrate on my real job.

creepy trivia on 14:00 :D love the video

I like the wordpress dev.

Who else should be coding right now but is here procrastinating?

COMPLETE nutrition

how does hosting the website for the customer work though? are you doing it yourself and just asking them for money each month?

Great.

mastermind speach

Okay, back to work I guess lol. Will continue the video once I'm done this assignment.

I earn way too little considering I mostly always do custom PHP and Laravel (fullstack), know WP as well (but not the fan of it at all), did Angular a few years ago ( versions 1 and 2), familiar with Vue.JS etc etc. Considering a WP dev gets 100k ... I want 200k now :D

What’s going on with the hair josh ?

Anybody know who Sam is? Need to talk to him about a client.

two foking introverts having a debate, congrats! I wish I could do the same ahahah

That was good! ... How's the relevance of WordPress in June 2020?

This is a good how to get a pay increase tutorial

Business cards are important

So if this guy had a website he would get 100 clients.

I'm in the process of learning code. Is it still worth it to learn code even though you can almost do everything on wordpress?

How about using Upwork to find clients?

I've like that business mind where that the most money with the cheapest stuff!!!

great content. I am sure his partner is the sales manager though
