The point about making a portfolio with 'fake websites'. You could actually pick a real business that doesn't have a website or has maybe an ugly website, and then send a video to the owner trying to sell it to them. If they don't want to buy it then thats ok, you just built a project for your portfolio. But if they do you also got a client.

@eddiejaoude 3 года назад

Great idea! I really like it! If they decide they don't want it, I think before using it, change the name/logo otherwise they might complain (or worse take legal action)

@vishsingh7235 3 года назад

I did this, and it absolutely works. I do it to test out new concepts as I learn them and then I present the project to the potential client. All of it goes on my portfolio. Having something already built out and ready to go is very appealing to potential clients.

How do you find business without website though?

@noahwoodland1592 2 года назад

@@ThunderstruckElectronix Most businesses in my town use Facebook, you could at least use a Facebook page if you don't want to put the time in for a website.

@ThunderstruckElectronix 2 года назад

@@noahwoodland1592 that's a good point. I like making websites though. But i find it kinda hard to know what companies to approach. I figured that I'll try to find local companies with bad websites, build a template and then approach them. Have you done something similar?

Having your personal projects portfolio is *the most powerful* way to showcase your skills, build credibility and help yourself being discovered before you land your first client. Not only for web - this is how I got my first Android job 😊 🤖

Every video of yours that I have watched conveys your genuine desire to share knowledge and educate people, which I can always sense.

I highly appreciate this video and Eddie's tips. I've been on my Web Developer journey for almost a year, after years of trying to find my niche and I am interested in Freelancing until I get employment and eventually when I am skilled enough, pursue freelancing full time. As for Eddie though, I wish him all the best of luck to further pursue his career, and for everyone else in this journey, for that matter!

Kyle today I was offered an internship program by a software company as web developer role and I would like to show my gratitude towards you. Being a mechanical engineer it was a challenging task for me to get into Web development but I chose the path and work for it and I choose you as my mentor. You are just awesome keep making videos for us.

@RickInMaryland 3 года назад

Creating generic portfolio websites makes a lot of sense. Some of the sites I've built for people are quite ugly. I didn't want to make them that way, I was following the client's wishes.

@vrk4052 3 года назад

Hello Kyle, if a client came to a front-end web developer and wanted an upgrade on their frontend so that the website would look more modern, how would the upgrading process work. If the 'old' website created by someone else also has a backend with a login system connected to a database? Would the front-end be created and sent to the developer that made the old website?

@braindose7446 3 года назад

Hi, i heard on a youtube video something that has disturbed me. The video claimed that Freelancers charging so low for their services on the Internet is not good for the freelancing industry. It will make companies and business owners believe that they can get their business requirements delivered from freelancers for such a cheap price. So, Freelancers who charge big for their services are not worth it because they have a large number of freelancers who will do it for such a cheap price for them. So, does it mean that freelancing is a dying industry and there is not much scope for the future in it?

Hi Kyle, I am a junior front end developer with 1 year of commercial full time experience. My dream is to work remotely from anywhere in the world but not as a freelancer but more as a contractor, I'd like to work full time just like I working now but from abroad. I can't find any videos about it, I would like to know what steps should I make to become an b2b contactor. It seems for me like contract offers are only for senior devs.
