If anyone needs a niche for starting out, there are a plethora of dog trainers that are in desperate need of websites. Usually they don't have much money to spend on a website, so it's easy and quick to get a few example websites in to build a portfolio and maybe some testimonials and experience. I havent finished my first trainer website and I already have another lined up for after

[@StefanMischook]

Nice idea!

[@chrisr2368]

Good tip!

Pulled out my old Neumann microphone. I recorded my first JavaScript course with this mic ~10 years ago. Let me know if anyone can hear a difference!? :)

[@ChrisSwafford1]

Sounds great.

It's a Neumann, of course it sounds great :)

I've actually got my first freelance project, and i've got no idea how to even begin - this has been helpful, and hopefully i can learn more quickly to finish it out and get paid!

How was it? I intend to start WordPress freelancing too. Could use some help,

[@roti1873]

I totally agree with working out. I exercise, stretch, and meditate every day. Cardio every day, strength training every other day. That plus healthy eating, plenty of water, and enough sleep make such a huge difference. I also try to match my computer time with nature time, makes for a much better life balance. Eat outside instead of in front of the computer. Small things like that make a difference, especially if you're getting some precious vitamin D!

That point about exercise. I saw a video highlighting doing just the planks for 30 days can make a difference in how you feel. I am starting my 30-day plank challenge. Will update you guys :) (edit) ... and btw, have started learning CSS with a serious effort. Acquired a lynda.com membership and I am on my way, God willing (in shaa Allaah).

Once I am thru with Lynda courses on front end I intend on taking Stefan courses and hope to have a mentor-student relation with him. I find his repeated advice very valuable. He clarified to me why going for data science would not be the easiest path to income. My mind was divided on that, but his repeated input helped a lot.

What projects should I make as a web designer with no experience for freelancing?

[@marcel5235]

Can you do a video for what to focus as you begin with front end web dev and want to go with React and/or Angular route? Sometimes feels like there is too much from choosing about and no order to learn things at all(except vanilla JS -> React +Redux). Honestly, my problem is not to learn and search, I spent every day at least 4 hours after my regular job to learn hard (12 hours at Sat and Sun) but more effective is know what exactly to focus on to be job ready and have strong fundamentals to save the time on learning

Yes. When working with small companies, the freelancer often times has a lot of choice in terms of choosing the tech stack.

[@EntreMaster]

Programmers were notoriously known for bad web design until Bootstrap came along and made them better... LOL! Does your Studio Web 3 students also get Studio Web 4 or is it a new buy?

[@StefanMischook]

Same courses in SW4 right now. It's the software that was recreated from scratch to allow for new features and performance improvements. As it is now, most of the updates can only be seen by teacher's using SW to teach code - back office tools for teachers. But, we are working on things for students and we have new materials coming out over the next few months and beyond.

[@EntreMaster]

@@StefanMischook got it, thanks.

[@DarkLuffay]

Stef, do you have any videos on how you go about charging for the hosting of websites you create for clients? How much is out of your own pocket when starting out and how/when/where you charge the client for it. They probably don't know anything about hosting or why they have to pay monthly/annual fees for the website in the first place "Facebook is free haha get out of here kid!" This has been a mental blockade for me close to a year now, and it's just not something I feel comfortable looking into and researching about with the skillset I have. Probably just me but any help would be appreciated, thanks!

[@jamiusamin877]

Like which certification one might go for please elaborate sir

[@StefanMischook]

I will do a video on that soon.

[@doubledee2735]

What’s your opinion on webflow?

[@EntreMaster]

I'd like to become a website consultant instead of doing freelance web design while I build my own apps to make money on the SaaS model... do you have a course for consulting?

[@StefanMischook]

Freelancing and consulting, in terms of the business end, are the same. You see in my freelance course, that all the lessons apply to consulting because freelance, is just a type of consulting. In both cases, you are marketing your skills, managing clients, building a reputation. I hope that makes sense? www.killervideostore.com/video-courses/complete-freelancer.php

You sound great

[@braindose7446]

Hi, i heard on a youtube video something that has disturbed me. The video claimed that Freelancers charging so low for their services on the Internet is not good for the freelancing industry. It will make companies and business owners believe that they can get their business requirements delivered from freelancers for such a cheap price. So, Freelancers who charge big for their services are not worth it because they have a large number of freelancers who will do it for such a cheap price for them. So, does it mean that freelancing is a dying industry and there is not much scope for the future in it?

[@hattrickster33]

It's pretty frustrating trying to explain to people you are in web development. 9/10 times they assume you are building front-end stuff exclusively because they don't know their back-end from their front-end. No pun intended 😁

[@technoself81]

Oh you are a web developer? I know HTML! =p

[@hattrickster33]

@@technoself81 Jokes aside, that's a great start. HTML5 is pretty powerful. You can actually get pretty far if you just know some basic HTML and a bit of CSS and JS. There are so many things that would take hours to implement in JavaScript back in the day that you can now do with a few HTML elements by just setting some attributes.
