Comment on CTO: In every city, there are a bunch of entrepreneurs starting businesses. The common thread is almost always: 0 knowledge about technology. Many can be salesman and boots-on-the-ground people, without realizing that their operations can be automated. So by literally just showing up at your local entrepreneurship development center where they give courses to starting entrepreneurs, you could easily be anyone's CTO by just: - showing up; - listening to everyone's beginning business; - showing them casual interest and asking further questions; and - offering to participate setting their tech up. Small businesses I met, in which I could/should probably have given a helpful hand: - elderly people moving company; - a zero-waste grocery store in a new yuppie part of the region; - construction guy starting up (was and continue to be booming).
As a professional tutor (LSAT) I would highly recommend charging AT LEAST $50/hr. If an agency is paying you less than that, DON'T work for them. Some agencies take up to 80% of what clients pay. Finding clients on your own is difficult, but not THAT difficult, and considering you get to keep the entire fee, it's well worth your time to seek out your own clients. Also, remember that people want to pay for quality service. Between a $15/hr tutor and a $75/hr tutor, 9 times out of 10, they'll go with the $75.
Freelancing is awesome 🎊 but I think a 4/5 rating for ease of starting is way too optimistic. It takes a long time to build a portfolio & find clients, and even on sites like upwork you need to build a reputation & do work almost for free until you gain good ratings. It's "easy" to get started, but definitely not easy to actually make money 😅 Keep in mind you will work very hard with little income at the beginning (unless you already have great skills, projects, or existing connections to leverege)
20:50 🙌🏼 Starting a content-related side gig is SOOO underrated I've seen it help so many data nerds unlock opportunities 🤓 P.S. It was funny to see Grammarly as the sponsor as I am using this tool RN to spell check this comment 🤣
Technical writing and building templates sounds interesting; solo work is more appealing to me at this stage since I am still very new to tech. Will be looking into more on those topics this week, thanks for the idea Tina! 🙏 Since joining your livestreams, I've been much more consistent in my studies and the community is so positive☺ Thanks for all your hard work Tina!! 🐢💚
I've done courses before (and hope to do more). If a course has a lot of value, you can charge a lot and focus on a handful of students at a time. I agree with the strategy you recommend!
Today I decided to specialize on Data Science & Quantum Geometry. This might take a long time to materialize 'cos my brain is wired differently but it's okay. Thanks Tina.
I like how your cat appears and puts its paw on your lap like "you really thought that you were going to make a video without featuring me, huh?" at 0:08
I got my start back in the day by making themes for blogs, and I forgot how much fun it could be! I'm totally getting back into making WordPress themes!
Hey Tina, I've been in the shadows for quite some time now, but with your content being so great I cannot hold it anymore, I AM SUCH A FANNNNNN (ok said it haha...). Cheers from this fellow Data Scientist trying to build a channel for spanish speaking audience ! EDIT: (yes , I like before I finish watching at this point :P) Totally in line with your final remarks, formerly Nuclear Engineer transitioned into DS with Masters degree and aced my first full time DS after 2 internships (1.5 years ago). Now transiting the path of content creation (baby steps), still wondering whether I'll go into the course route as well or just invest in taking videos from Informational/Tutorial to a more creative / performance once my audience is built
Hey Tina, would you consider making a video on someone wanting to make a career change into software? I'm a chemical engineer, graduated and have been working for 2 years now. I don't particularly like my industry, and want to make the switch. I know there's the self taught, bootcamp, or degree route. I was just curious what your opinion and recommendation would be? Thanks!
Have you thought about embedded systems and IoT? A combination of IoT and chemical engineering would make for a great understanding of certain industries, regarding the management of field devices, no?
@@themore-you-know I have not. The problem I have is mostly that I hate working out in the field. I'm in Canada, and most of the chemical engineering roles are either up north In the oil patch, or out east where cost of living is exuberantly high. I want to leave chemical all together eventually. My motivators are: better work environment, better pay, remote work opportunities.
@@abdullahabid218, yeah, work up north can be harsh I can imagine. How about water treatment? Almost every water treatment plant and industrial plant with process waters have numerous field devices, both inside the plants and in their pipe networks. If you want to get a feel for the field, you can visit your nearest big city water treatment plant and ask for a tour, they might give you one. (I live in Quebec, so non-Quebecer plants might be different as we take most of our water from rivers, whereas many other cities outside of Quebec might process water using much smaller distributed systems of wells). Rockwell Automation, etc. all have fields dedicated to the automation of chemical processes, no? How about Transport? I hear read somewhere that railways are looking for embedded systems engineers. Sorry for repeating the whole IoT thing numerous times, haha. I'll shut up now.
@@themore-you-know I currently work as an ammonia plant process engineer (in training). Cast majority of my work is carrying out MOC's and small project implementation for turnarounds regarding catalyst replacement. I have almost no exposure to automation or programming here. I'm hesitant to just up and leave as it took me forever to land this role, even with extensive coop experience. I'll look into what you've said, but more and more recently I've seen fellow grads from my year go from Chem e jobs to entirely software development.
Thank you Tina 🌻 ! Your videos have been very useful for me personally and many others .. This video in particular makes me think of using my time more efficiently for side projects .. Also nothing was planned lol :3 .. I guess it's fate you meet me so I can mess up the DNS :hype:
I have a similar “conservative” perspective and will listen to your recommended combination of “things.” You’re the bomb Tina! Your videos make a huge difference in people’s lives. (:
This is great to know. Thank you Tina. I wish I had received this earlier but now is the next best time to hear this. I am beginning with freelancing on my coding career path and would like to know what you think about seeing a need, developing a simple solution and actively marketing and convincing buyers to take up the solution on a trial period?
Yo Tina! I love your channel 💙 You should totally share you're journeys into Trading and Art (I think you've mentioned you wanted to learn to paint?) ✊️😎 I think that'd be awesome and I'm super interesting! 👾
Hey Tina ive been following you for a year now and I want to say you're amazing, so far I've been working with python solidity, I am going to make NFTs for some side hustle work and use the money to keep coding on free time lol
Mam I know python and I have software engineering degree. But I didn't have confidence to make projects and make clients and money. You give me that strength
It is the first time I heard about technical writing. Please, if you can do a complete video about what is technical writing. Like medium? I don't know what is that. technical writing means to write little short code in our wepages?
Tutoring + Freelance + Template I was actually thinking that tutoring is hard. But maybe it wouldn’t be so bad after all. Maybe I can do templates and freelancing. I think it could be a good start for me.
Came here for my boi Ibraheem 🤠🐢🐢 Following Tina's advice, I shall start freelancing as well. So if anyone is looking for someone to steam plantains, you know whom to contact!! Here is the world's ONLY PROFESSIONAL PLANTAIN STEAMER 🐢🐢🐢🤠🤠🤠 Biddings accepted via YT comments ❤️❤️🐢🐢

It is very hard to find your first client. Almost everything "earning money with coding" is very hard and, in some cases , virtually, impossible .

The tutee sounds funny 😅 but thanks fir tge content
thank you watching your videos always make me hold up in college and remind me how much I love this career path keep going
I will like to start a TH-cam channel and freelancing.
Thank you for sharing such a valuable insight.🎉❤

Go Ibraheem!!!
Mam I know python and I have software engineering degree. But I didn't have confidence to make projects and make clients and money. You give me that strength
Thanks for this
Good content !
How the interviews going and what does it mean rounds? For DS you said “7 rounds” to get this position.. why so long and hard?
Thanks you 🙏
Definitely need to implement this plan until I can have enough “experience” to land a data analyst position
It is the first time I heard about technical writing. Please, if you can do a complete video about what is technical writing. Like medium? I don't know what is that. technical writing means to write little short code in our wepages?
Tutoring + Freelance + Template
I was actually thinking that tutoring is hard. But maybe it wouldn’t be so bad after all. Maybe I can do templates and freelancing. I think it could be a good start for me.
thanks, good for reality check.
Tina do you listen to music when you code? Is that a mad idea?
Depends! If it’s boiler plate code/stuff I already know how to do then yes if I have to think then no
Hi Tina! Are there any platforms you'd recommend to start technincal writing, with regards to actually earning money by doing so?
medium/towards data science!
Please honey stick your power strip to the wall seeing it next to a highly flammable carpet is giving me anxiety 😥
Best way is making video about making money
your beautiful kitty baby looks just like my pretty little kitty shadow cat Onyx!!! 😭😭😭🖤
hello, any recommendations how to monitor all the community forums in one app/paltform?
how you get sponsored everytime :) that's nicee
100$ in month with freelancing that's sad i'm about to start freelancing as a web developer :(
Good video. Is there something called freelance data analyst or freelance data science? What types of income we can get dealing with Data.
yup seattle data guy does this!
@@TinaHuang1 Thank you very much! I'll check him.
Nice
Really I don’t want to watch Tina’s videos I’m tempted to be a SIMP
