Hey man, I just wanted to ask that can I really ask 1000$ for a website if I am not much experienced? I am just starting development after learning the basics.
Good points: weekly meeting, paid weekly, communication plan. Good customers must have resources to include both finances and time. Without adequate time or money, you cannot be successful providing services. Good point about bad clients keep you from finding great clients.
Hey Aleksander, this was some helpful insight. I've done Upwork before and I honestly didn't have a good approach nor any experience with clients, but now I have completed roughly 20 projects on my own. After watching your video, I really feel confident about going back into Upwork.
@@kodeDev Hi, Kev, and thank you for getting back, I saw your response just now. For some reason your comment gave me the impression you have been mostly freelancing wihtout much 9 to 5 work experience in an office. As somebody who is currently learning to code I would, of course, go for a traditional career shift with a 9 to 5 on-site job, but, hey, I don't wanna write off freelancing -although in the beginning I will not have any previous experience (can have a portfolio though) So any tips and advices in that direction would be great. I also took in consideration your response to Adhishek. Myabe your upcoming channel would be of help for me, so I will stay tuned. Maybe I should dig in Alexander's videos as well. Thanks!
Thank you for sharing Aleksander Vitkin, you really have an impressive story in freelancing. Thank you for taking time to share tips. It will really starters like us.
My job I work now people would complain about it on reviews and in the comment section. When I got there it wasn't that bad. I going to watch more videos get a better idea of what is going on and let experience be my teacher.
No matter what platform someone more experienced with more review gonna take my job. Upwork is worst because they give only few attempts and if none of your proposal gets accepted by clients (again because more experienced people takes it away from you) then they will block your account permanently. Edit: watched the part where you talked about getting 5 revs. 👍👍
Biggest question I have is (currently I am learning and have studied Vue.js and Laravel courses) when and how to know if I am ready to get into the freelance business?
i have built a few shopify stores, from purchased themes, and now studying programming taking the web dev industry as business/web developer. Do you recommend customizing from themes or fully building out shopify themes from scratch?
Why would someone trust a random freelancer to build a landing page for £1000 when there are hundreds of freelancer with hundreds of 5stars review that charge way less ? I’m not sure one should start charging £1000 to build landing pages with 0 freelancing experience.
Awesome video !! I am hard of hearing person trying to learn Web development. What's your advise to me who can't hear but want to earn as a freelancer?
i am doing free lancing in google site for 1 year for a college. Cost is low. Teachers post notes to repective dept. Authorised access using gmail id. students fill forms, submit feedbacks and submit assignments. database is mainted with authorised access and some other features. pls tell if i can get freelance customers. Thanking you.
Thanks for the video, I recently decided to go freelance web development due to me losing my job as a chef due to covid. I have sound knowledge of html, CSS, JavaScript and java. You recommend any other tips. Thanks
Fundamentally the automated extraction of data out of any website/public facing resource is illegal. Otherwise the company/product would've given its customers an API. But everybody seems to do it like it's no problem at all.
It depends on how serious the employer is about their business. If they have a potential 6 or 7 figure dollar business being built, $1000 is a reasonable investment for a solid, high-quality landing page.
This is simply not true. Maybe not on Upwork. But I wouldn't have lasted for 12 years as a freelancer if people didn't pay good money for landing pages and small 1-5 page websites.
Shoot me in the head, Upwork is the worst place to start, it's so hard to get the first job... You are much better working via P2P storing that portfolio and then apply to upwork.
Do you recommend selling yourself as a solo practitioner? Like "Hi, I'm John Doe..." or as a business, like "Hi, I'm John from [Company name]..."? Also, is it recommended to operate under an LLC?
Freelancing its a bullshit, and all this people are promoting web dev are scammers selling hop and fake dreams to people on youtube, but this guy is great
Very informative video, thanks, can u make a video how payment works (I mean what all charges need to pay and what's the exact amount I m going to revive ) on upwork
Best video I have seen so far! Thank you. What advice would you give to people ho want to be a frelancer after finishing their computer science degree?
Am learning a particular web technology , but the web has lots of tools to solve the same problem , wat if a particular client complains bout the technology I use and forces me or opines me to use python , for example.... A language I don't know!
Aaron Daisuke_Luv Clients can’t force you to do anything. You decide which clients you work with as long as there’s enough demand for it in the market and you can deliver with what you know or what your future team knows, you’re good to go.
wordpress developement is only simple if you mean installing some plugins, slap on a bloated marketplace theme and an even more bloated page builder and call yourself wordpress dev. if you do it right, it is not that easy.
You really motivate me to finally start learning skills to make some good money as a freelancer so I can finally become location independent. I got fired on purpose to chase my passion as a writer but it's gonna take a while to make money with that since finishing a good legendary book takes time. But I need to learn a quick skill so I can earn quick cash in the meantime to keep myself being able to chase that dream. I'll start with WordPress. Thx man. 😎
This is some great advice. But as a novice, with some html /css knowledge.. I just don't know how to justify a 1000us bid for a job. It seems overwhelming for an inexperienced wp dev.
Why pay to get a job? Freelancing through those platforms is a bad way to build a client base cause in all of these platforms you cant get out with the clients. Its in the TOS...
@@AleksanderVitkin we are talking about the place where you need to pay to apply to more then like 4-5 "clients" at once, unless you are building a portfolio and want to get some very small pay while you are at it there is no reason to get an upwork account. Since, again, you cant talk to the clients on other places and they take a cut from you earnings.
Hi Aleksander! How I wish I've known your vlogs sooner. This is really great! Thank you so much. However, is it necessary that when you're starting to become a web developer, you really need to niche down? For example, my first client would be from a food business. Should I focus on delivering websites about food business? I'm really curious on this one because I'm a little bit confused.
You don't need to sell to a specific type of client like "food business client" when selling on Upwork. Sell a specific type of website instead built on a specific platform.
In the race to the bottom that most freelancers participate in, it's already crowded. However, offering highly in-demand niche services to real businesses is very much not crowded and will stay profitable for the foreseeable future.
Okay, I'm just curious... this was posted 3 years ago? Is this even still relevant? Is he just changing the title to the video? Things were very different 3 years ago.
Can you advise a path to learn web development, what is the best course of action to learn it fully, which language or technology is to learn to start a freelance web development??
well you have to decide, frontend or backend. During the time you trying to think about it just be learning javascript cause that is used on both frontend and can be done on the backend. Then go udacity or udemy. Pick good curated courses and start learning.

Hi Ben
Hi, what do you think about going into web scraping/crawling freelancing ? ( On upwork )
Fundamentally the automated extraction of data out of any website/public facing resource is illegal. Otherwise the company/product would've given its customers an API.
But everybody seems to do it like it's no problem at all.
Edek Qwerty One of the guys i work with right now does this successfully. No, it isn’t illegal, he asked a lawyer.
@@AleksanderVitkin cool, thanks!
Check the terms of use if you do want to get kicked off the site or get sued for the value that you stole.
Clever.
thats not realistic man , it hard to get a client on upwork
Can I do it alone, or must have a team with me?
Where is the reply of this Q.???
This guy is only a TH-camr
Not a helper for us
Hi
No one gives $1000 for a landing page.. this is a hoax
true, it's much better to focus on smaller projects to build a portfolio.
It depends on how serious the employer is about their business. If they have a potential 6 or 7 figure dollar business being built, $1000 is a reasonable investment for a solid, high-quality landing page.
This is simply not true. Maybe not on Upwork. But I wouldn't have lasted for 12 years as a freelancer if people didn't pay good money for landing pages and small 1-5 page websites.
So you can take the lead out of UpWork Platform... is that legal or allowed?
Normal platforms include terms that prohibit such things you could be removed from the platform and or sued.
So you said that freelancer web developer means web Wordpress developer
When does he say that
Shoot me in the head, Upwork is the worst place to start, it's so hard to get the first job...
You are much better working via P2P storing that portfolio and then apply to upwork.
