Bro I've never met a guy this relatable lmao
same xD
I like your content, this is very entertaining for people who are in this field so keep up the good work!
Thank you!!
I was inspired by your video to go on upwork, so I started an account yesterday and applied for 6 jobs.
In short: I got a $20 job in one day for creating a simple Python script you can build in less than 2 hours.
Congratz!
You did a lot better then me
Hey. Can i contact with you. I have some questions related to python.
@@umarajmal6216 Look for my emai on the about tab in my channel.
@Slink1 congratulations, great stuff. 20 dollars is not a lot for 2 hours work, but the benefits are far more than that!
@@astratow depending.
In my country 20$ an hour is how much rich people make lmao
When you apply to jobs for software dev. I would recommend 1.) Give an overview of how you are going to solve their problem. Don't ask(often) for more details to start out with. Don't even say what you've done in the past. Breakdown their problem and give a highlevel overview of your solution. 2.) Quote above budget. You should find a lot of work in the $75-100 range doing this.
I should give it a try, sounds interesting.
What do you mean by quote above budget?
@@williamgrant8333 yeah this is a bit unclear.
I know that feeling, man. I've been rejected by more recruiters than by girls I flirted with.
the way i look at freelancing website is that you don't need to focus on the high level programming stuff but instead focus on the basic one like coding on shopify or wordpress. They have a lot of hiring on that niche rather than from scratch app development. but yeah of-course, you need to have "a champion profile :)" to show of your skills. btw very entertaining video bro. thanks sharing
Yes, I think the best way is becoming a pro in some sort of niech.
Thats the main point right? How you get a "champion profile" if you dont even get a job and non experience
@@leoofgl Eat poop sandwiches and take low paying projects, develop a few example projects toward a niche you are trying to fill. Something like that. I'd say take a look at some freelancer profiles and look back to their earlier projects you'll see some of them taking $5-$10 hr projects or $20 projects for things that will probably take a few hours of research or implementation time to do.
@@leoofgl This
So I’ve been on upwork for like 3weeks now no jobs. I am a level 2 Wordpress website designer on Fiverr. Guess I’ll add all my projects to the portfolio though it’s a new account
at least you tried, and posted it! :D.
Make more videos tho, cuz i'm enjoying them since i'm kinda exactly in your position as well
Yup!
I think ill will try to freelance again as my portfolio now is better, will see how it goes!
keep it up my brother ❤❤
I can see your success on TH-cam from here (2.62 subs checkpoint)
Just found your channel. liked your style. you should post more.
thank you, ill try
Nice video, keep posting more. Love software developer videos.
Dude, I can smell the exponential growth of your channel. 😵
Thanks chief
If you want to make money freelancing, sites like upwork, freelancer etc, from my experience was impossible to get jobs from, more direct approaches have higher success of working out, directly hitting up a local buisness, or hitting up new projects might work better for ya
I think Freelancing experience really changes based on the quality of portfolio of the freelancer, as I know many for whom it went really really well, but they usually were very really really good at the thing they did.
Doing work for a Local business is one of the top ways to get your foot in the door but its also not as easy to just go up to a business and say "Hey... need a website? "
@@looyd i think i had a okay portfolio, the biggest issue probably was that most of it is game development, not web development. And there weren't any game dev jobs out there
And yeah i get that for some it might be real uncomfortable to just hit up a business locally, but looking at more local job postings and applying to them is still a good idea, or maybe going to forums or a Discord server filled with pepole who have buisnesses that could use a website or other programming services and advertise there
@@noeldev When did you try apply to jobs as a game dev?
I can imagen during the NFT craze there should have been a lot of people searching for game devs.
@@looyd i mean the thing was that i couldn't find any listings for game dev freelance work, game dev jobs are always here, but that's full time work not freelancing, i had seen offeres for nft games, but those would usually underpay considering the amount of work required, or just offered equaty, and considering how poor the game design was for most of those projects, i didn't exacly belive in huge success that would make it worth my time
@@noeldev what discord servers would you suggest for a web dev
Just found your channel. Great going dude 🔥
Just found your channel, love it man
Awesome, thank you!
Just found this channel, found this guy relatable and subbed ✌️
Thank you for this bro. You just saved me a ton of time.
Freelancing is nice, just you need a really good portfolio
@@looyd 😂😂bro, I have a good portfolio, still can't get any gigs. Upwork is terrible, fivrr is even worse. This video has taught me to better invest my time elsewhere . Thanks bro
Loved the video and subscribed!
I once made an upwork account without a portfolio and got 1 response from a client.
It’s about writing my own interpretation of a song…
I do copywriting 😂.
Congratulations splendid work. Would you tell more about your story please?
Did you stil do it? :D
@@looyd She stopped responding to me but I was able to get those free connect points lol.
@@astratow I ditched upwork and my story about that freelancing website is basically what this video is haha “pretty humbling.” I’m currently building my portfolio now
Bro I really like your videos as I can relate with you soooo much....!
I really like your channel so far. Looking forward to watching you grow!
Thank you so much!
It's legit so hard to freelance
very very hard
i like the way you explain. You are funny and i subscribed.....
you just earned yourself a sub
Ouuuuuu! Big ups Ilo7d
How did you learn so many things? Coding + Graphics. Make a video on that.
I wouldnt say that im very good at any of those, but as with everything, best way to learn is to just do it
So, how did you get started on your 3D modeling account? Does a portfolio need to be an actual job or can you show off your own side projects?
For coding or 3D? The best way to get clients in my experience is with a great portfolio, nothing else matters, besides that you know how to do stuff
@verified_tinker your portfolio needs to relate to the jobs that you are targeting for sure. This is your advert you don't advertise woman lingerie by showing nappies?
@@astratow I mean, do you need to make a site for a real business or can you build it for a fake one and show off that?
@@verified_tinker1818 it helps if it's real. It doesn't matter if you know clients before. You can make website for friends or family, even for free. You can do volunteering anyway. It helps to prove that beside coding you have another skills like discussing the project and making it as they want not just your own concept.
Love the content
It's not that people there are just looking for cheap labor, unless you're charging Indian rates of $5 a hour you wont get anything. It's a joke, don't waste your time with Upwork, it's pointless.
Faaaaacts!!
Its in recommends
Has anyone tried to create a non-freelancer profile, and hire your other profile just so you could have a project? Afterwards, rate your freelancer (also you) which could maybe boost your profile?
I think Upwork does not allow that, but thats an interesting idea
This is not good idea yet you can ask your friends to help you boost your work history. Also ensure portfolio is correct for sure.
Was mich mal interessieren würde als Deutscher. Wie rechnest du das ab? Bist du Kleinunternehmer oder Freiberufler?
Ich habe mit Programmierer nichts verdient. Mit 3d als Selbstständiger
hi young man hope you well and still coding if you didn't like switch career there's lot opportunity to reach whatever we want thanks
Yup, coding is stil fun for me so im not going anywhere
Bro just admitted to a crime. You have two upwork accounts 😅😂.
🤫🤫🤫
nice
nice
Why do you look like edmure tully?
the disrespect
@@looyd what
wow, thanks for the video! Beautiful girl in the video!
You’re funny man
bro if you are beginner I think I might just start cleaning my desk and start farming
Can I join your farm?
@@looyd hehe, Thanks for reply men
freelancing to gain experience - I can't get any job because I don't have experience
it really be like that... but keep making projects, if your portfolio is insane, that increases your chances a lot
as someone who is also switching from 3D to web development, I'll say: lol
Why did you decide to make the switch?
@@looyd because I initially went to uni for computer science automation and security, because I wanted to be software security architect, but I was freelancing as a web page maker since 13yo, switched to 3d in uni and felt its not giving me the level of job importance I wanted
If pewdiepie started coding
I think ill take it as a compliment
race to bottom use indeed & get contractor job
sad
It’s not coding, it’s installing libraries 😂
ＹＥＳ
bruh
bruh
bruh
Nice to see the ready to fellate thumbnail is still being used by the YT lemming crowd 😂
Sorry, I dont get it
@@looyd not surprised 😂
finding work on upwork is almost impossible for new developers. what a terrible economy we live in.
Yes, better chances at finding an actual job I think
