Let me know down below : )

Huy, great videos my friend. I've been watching your stuff for a while, and your content is very good, very helpful and the quality of your work is really good! Keep posting and doing amazing stuff! Also, on a side note from your comment about posting 5 great quality jobs and 2 not so good ones, I listen to a podcast that had a line once that makes this super straight-forward: "Your portfolio is only as good as your worst piece" so, always post the most amazing stuff, and leave the rest out... sometimes you get a difficult client that wants something done in a specific way and no matter how professional and knowledgeable you are, you just can't get them to concede on that... All the best!

Hi Huy NG! I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate your videos. They are incredibly informative and have taught me so much about front-end development. Your advice and insights have been instrumental in inspiring me to start my own journey. Thank you for all that you do, and please keep up the great work! I look forward to your new videos!

[@by_huy]

Glad to help! Thank you 🙂

[@heyitsalda]

Thanks for the solid tips Huy! Number 1 is the most important onr. It's something I learned from Alex Hormozi as well. (And also, noticed the posters in the background. I'm a huge Ghibli fan too!)

[@by_huy]

Glad I could help, awesome to see a Ghibli fan in the comments haha

[@newbie3135]

Thanks for sharing 🙏🏼

Very informative video! I'd like to add, don't sleep on VR. It will be a great additional income stream for many people, there are already people in the space that have been making money for some years now. Either as a builder, scripter, VR DJ, VR Artist, etc. Or just extending their real life skill or business into VR as well. Not all VR platforms require a headset to access either, many of them can be accessed with a laptop or even phone.

you motivated me to open up webstorm

[@FreakyYas]

I am waiting for your video man

[@leslie8]

Hey Huy, thanks for always bringing value to the community. ❤ What languages do you need to master for your standard web development services?

[@by_huy]

No worries, glad to help! Definitely being comfortable with html, css and JavaScript goes a long way

[@revaprasetya]

Thank you bro

[@toshirohitsugaya1465]

Thank you Hu

[@dipongkorroydipu1613]

awsome information .Please Also. make some website tutorial with animation. ❤

[@heedongcho-xyz]

Would love to learn how you manage your time and energy as a solo freelancer! What are some of your personal routines/methods to stay disciplined, motivated, and consistent?

[@by_huy]

YES OF COURSE! For me, organization definitely has to be the key to make sure that everything doesn't fall apart. Things like blocking everyday in the calendar to see what I need to do and when (i.e when I'm going to wake up, do work #1, eat lunch, exercise, etc.) Also having a notion system to manage client projects, financials, content ideas, etc. really helped me to keep things on track. Lastly, touching some grass and taking breaks are essential too haha

[@ayannagorimsn]

HI Huy I wanted to ask you about how did you achive those grainy backgrounds in your portfolio?? I love those colors by the way

[@kennykenny6176]

can you make a video on how to host a website im having hell understanding how to host my ract app for the first time

[@senseislade]

I'm 17 and I've managed to learn the basics HTML,CSS,JS and some other stuff without going to college matter fact...I'm a high school drop out, and I was wondering whether this would work for me...because I'm pretty sure I can't get a tech job(not that I want one) Freelancing seems like something I'd enjoy doing.

[@msapiandantexyz]

Focus on what niche you want to pursue. Degree doesn’t matter as long as you honed your skills and showcase your work. Also don’t stop learning and upgrade your skill.

[@senseislade]

@@msapiandantexyz much appreciated! I'll take your words into consideration.

id on your sweater? looks really great!

[@by_huy]

Thanks! It's from UNIQLO, but I think they discontinued it unfortunately

[@lostinthenarrativve]

Hey man, what animation library did you use for your portfolio's current design ?

[@by_huy]

I use framer motion!

[@a1551x]

When would you consider one ready for freelance as a self taught dev

[@by_huy]

I don't have a step-by-step answer but whenever you feel the urge to do freelance, just do it!

[@thewelnessinsider]

What do you recommend? Do I start as a solo micro agency or a freelancer itself?

[@by_huy]

I personally haven't tried both options but there are definitely blogs and articles that go over the pros and cons : )

[@thewelnessinsider]

@@by_huy thank you brother! I was wondering how much you charge for a beautiful website that you make? Are there any recurring services that you also sell?

[@ketanjadhav4328]

Hey bro what service you provide development or design or both, also what you enjoy most ?

[@by_huy]

I provide both usually, and I absolutely enjoy doing both. If I had to choose one then development would be the one

[@fluffypanda5405]

How much should we learn to get in to freelancing with html,css and js ?

[@by_huy]

There are no hard rules, I am sure you can freelance at whatever stage you are in. You can start to look for projects whenever you have the urge to freelance. For me at least, I started to freelance after learning the basics of React.

[@fluffypanda5405]

@@by_huy Thank you. Your videos are very informative
