What YOU can learn from my first freelance web design job.

[@Daniel-sz2lq]

I recently had a legal battle with my bitter co-founder once I’d resigned from the company due to lack of respect. It sucks ass, right? The anxiety you get from it is unbelievable. This vid inspired me quite a bit... Thank you.

[@william_SMMA]

damn

[@taariqq]

I graduated from UMass/Boston in '94. I know the era. 56k modem was the next big thing. Love the visuals btw, especially since I am from Karachi and here you only see greenery like this 1000 miles up north. Cool.

[@pkyegon]

U are a legend. When in doubt, I watch your videos to find your recommendation

[@chiquitocastaneda2851]

Hey Stefan this is a very insiprational video, I like the way you sneek in a lot of technical stuff... The reason I keep asking you what city you were in was I keep watching and appreciate your surroundings is that where I am at theat wood be call the "Sticks" or outer Subrubia... Thanks for the vids and the info as I am more interested in freelance than working for Apple or Google... Chiquito...

[@jeanmorelli1588]

On your freelancer course, do you teach about hosting as well? It a big confusion for me? Should I do reseller or not? Also about basic SEO, Google Search Console, how to deal with the client?

[@Fergunator]

Thank you for sharing your experience and wisdom :)

[@abhi-yt]

Love these vlogs, videos feel way better when you record outdoors

[@andrewillomitzer3711]

Outside of clients, specifically when I'm building my own projects I like to start off by hand sketching a general plan of features and what framework I want to use to build. Then, I will break down each feature and site page into a layout (again hand sketched first). I find that having a plan of what I want to do helps just as much as HOW I want to do it. Is this a common thing in development, and is it good practice to do this much planning?

[@MRKetter81]

Awesome video... could you do one about WorkFlow starting out? Like how much communication you need with a client and what things you generally most need from the client so you don't waste of their time.

[@MRKetter81]

7 minutes in and you open up about workflow lol.. never mind

[@StefanMischook]

I have a dedicated web developer workflow video being edited now. Probably release it Monday.

[@MRKetter81]

Awesome! looking forward to it.. also looking forward to getting your program

[@charlie64x2]

Hi Stefan. Great video. Do you cover email marketing in any of your courses?

[@egerazor]

stef you might consider a lapel microphone for the outside vlogs. A bit too much noise!

[@championchess31]

Thank you for the insights and info. What car are you driving?

[@StefanMischook]

Audi

[@MrBubbagump58]

When you were discussing templated emails, I was waiting for a "Bob's your Uncle".

[@StefanMischook]

LOL! He was out drinking ...

[@dinfarfar1020]

Lol, that running guy 😂

[@bralis2]

What convertible do you drive?

[@orunsir8394]

This isn’t related to the video, but I’d just like to say that you have a damn nice car. Do you mind if I ask what car it is?

[@JuLoc06]

Orunsir I think it’s an Audi a or s 5

[@eddier2k9]

ima noob..... whats the difference between a developer and software engineer? is it worth going into a masters degree in software engineering?

[@StefanMischook]

Pretty much .. with some nuance. In practical terms, engineers will just have access to jobs that people without the degree might not because of HR departments. That said, my engineer buddies are doing the exact same work as any developer ... engineer or not.

[@show6442]

Hi Stef, I want a PDF version of your web development book... How do I get one?

[@StefanMischook]

I don't think there is a PDF version ... my publishers never put out an e-book. That said, the book itself is very well printed, and it looks good.

[@РоманЮсупов-з7г]

9:50 Is it google maps car ?

[@rustemibragimov1108]

Hi, what resources can you recommend for finding tasks for money, solutions-> cash)))? p.s. written using google translate

[@StefanMischook]

What you described is called: starting a business. The key to business is simple but hard: figure out what people want, and give it to them.

[@rustemibragimov1108]

You say the obvious facts. I'm interested in "sources" for analyzing people's needs. What can you recommend for the analysis of demand. Systems such as adwords from google are trivial. Curious alternatives from the guru)

[@StefanMischook]

It is a process of discovery, too long to write in a comment. That said, step one is understanding an industry or business type deeply, then with that knowledge, you will be able to identify needs that are not being met.

[@rustemibragimov1108]

thanks, the answer made me remember from the sophistry and the maths) p.s. sources of information in the form of your channel, motivate to learn, learn and learn again) learning something new and applying it in the solution.

[@mistypixstudios6304]

you might be able to make a lot of money back then but now it is just like any other job, it gets boring and repetitive really quick, also there is a lot less respect for web developers now a days , and then there is a risk of automation due to AI revolution that is happening. things are not the same anymore.

[@StefanMischook]

Ai will not hit development for years. Yes, slowly and incrementally the jobs that developers perform will change ... but that ain't nothing new. I know good freelance developers who have waaay too much work.

[@AhmedIbrahim-fi2so]

nice car 😂
