thank you for the video peter, that was really interesting to hear not only opinion of yours but also to hear others with different backgrounds and jobs!
its calming to see someone on other Side of Earth Goes through what ive been through and now made it on Freelancing , btw i just started freelancing and its now goin well , ALSO CREATING CONTENT , love from iran man Keep up the good content i love it and we need it .
great vid, btw how do you have 2 separate profiles on upwork? i thought that was against tos, I want to start a separate account for coding but im scared of getting banned
I want to start freelancing full-time as a full stack developer & I am really good at full stack. I am looking for a advice related to freelancing. Because all I heard from anyone that the freelance marketplace are very saturated and it's just waste of time.
Hi. I heard that in the USA, trying to make it as a freelancer is a problem because you are competing globally with people who have a much lower cost of living. This is on the well known free lance sites like Fiverr etc. I am in the USA, but my expenses are low. I am fine with making $15 and hour to start. Even $10 or $12 an hour to start. Can I compete with this hourly wage, bidding on jobs? Thanks.
Hi friend, I like to watch your videos, they do motivate and sometimes demotivate too haha, right now im lrarning html, css, js and react and want to become a freelancer, but as far as I understood i will have literally zero chances to get a job if I dont take a nietche after all of that?
I would honestly say yea, the chances are low, unless you try finding a job/freelancing thing Locally by going to small businesses and ask them whether they need help with their website, automation etc.. then your chances are higher. See at 07:20, Alem is from the UK and he is getting a lot of jobs from just going door to door and offering Software Development Services.
After 4 years I realized that it is actually very risky thing to do, I would even somewhat compare it to having a startup. Freelancing is good as a side thing but not a main thing, so doing it while having a job or while doing a startup/side-business etc... or if you live in a cheaper country and online projects compared to your home country salary are simply much higher. But that is a good question and I would need to think more to give a better answer
@@looyd probably not, but with a little bit of luck with 1 expert in chat you would be able to do things faster, and it's one step at a time just do it for 3h a week in a specific day this might create you a following that i think will fit your "i did it so can you" type of channel
@@looyd maybe u can livestream the work which u do in freelancing and show us the exact process I am sure many would be interested including myself only if ur employer is ok with it tho

I think yes, as many clients on Upwork preffer to work only with US based freelancers, due better English, vibe etc...
@looyd your feedback is greatly appreciated.
I can make basic mern apps like CRUD apps or using api , should i start freelancing or first master my skill?
I think its not enough, you need more.
@@looyd ok thanks , any projects that you would suggest?
Aceternity UI is just Manu Punjabi, one man army and then he hired people afterwards.
yea,
another way of looking at freelancing imo
Men wish I could get at least 1 order to get started, Still trying
Do u have a niech + good portfolio?
@@looyd not the portfolio but github, have a lot of projects I worked on for company and clients at my job which is minimum pay,
Do have a niche as application dev, did lot of projects for clients and companies at my work which is minimum pay,
@@sweatypotato248 then its only up from here, all good.
@@looyd thanks mate

Nop,

@@looyd cool. Let me know if you had one

I have a 3D Freelancing account that I mentioned in the intro that has 90k in contracts. You can find it on Upwork

where are you from buddy? are you in college? your videos are nice and I am going to buy a house.
I live in Germany at the moment. House? Congratz
@@looyd it is a /S
Right behind you, it looks like an average Eastern European furniture.
I thought it made me look smarter lol
Why didn’t you pursue a career? Why stick with upwork and freelancing especially if you’ve been doing this for 4 years
After 4 years I realized that it is actually very risky thing to do, I would even somewhat compare it to having a startup.

when you learn a new thing, can you maybe life stream it? in youtube
do you think ppl would watch? idn
@@looyd probably not, but with a little bit of luck with 1 expert in chat you would be able to do things faster, and it's one step at a time just do it for 3h a week in a specific day this might create you a following that i think will fit your "i did it so can you" type of channel
@@looyd maybe u can livestream the work which u do in freelancing and show us the exact process I am sure many would be interested including myself only if ur employer is ok with it tho
Well tbh being a non native english speaker communicating is harder than developing...
Can u share how u overcame it
@@DayummmAn Gaming with native speakers is what im gonna try.
Also,
watch a bunch of TH-cam videos & talk as much as you can.
45 bucks for a coder per hour sound like peanuts.
Not in EU
Only in America
If you’re man just think
What do you mean
yea? wtf
