- 00:00:00the video that you're about to watch
- 00:00:01breaks down literally everything I know
- 00:00:03about making money from coding this is
- 00:00:05raw unedited unscripted it's just me
- 00:00:08talking directly to the camera and
- 00:00:09sharing with you pretty much everything
- 00:00:11I've learned over the past 10 years and
- 00:00:13how I've been able to earn a full-time
- 00:00:14income from my coding skills now you
- 00:00:16should know that this video is broken
- 00:00:18into four sections which used to be
- 00:00:20individual videos in a private community
- 00:00:22that I had now I'm no longer running
- 00:00:24that community so I simply spliced the
- 00:00:26videos together and decided to make them
- 00:00:28public so that all of you could enjoy
- 00:00:30and learn from them now with that in
- 00:00:31mind if you do actually want to put this
- 00:00:33video into practice and start making
- 00:00:35money from coding you do have to have
- 00:00:36some coding skill I know a lot of you
- 00:00:38already have that but if you don't and
- 00:00:40you're looking for a road map to explain
- 00:00:42what you need to learn I have a free
- 00:00:44introduction course which you can check
- 00:00:46out from the link below now this is a
- 00:00:47part of my premium coding course with
- 00:00:49course careers but the free introduction
- 00:00:51course is free you just need to sign up
- 00:00:53and then you'll get access to it and you
- 00:00:55can watch about an hour and a half of
- 00:00:56completely free content where I give you
- 00:00:58as much value as I can and break down
- 00:01:00exactly what you need to do in order to
- 00:01:02get to a junior software engineer level
- 00:01:05which is kind of the level you need to
- 00:01:06be at when you can start really
- 00:01:07monetizing this skill anyways I hope you
- 00:01:10enjoy let's get into the video hello
- 00:01:12everybody and welcome to this course
- 00:01:14where we're going to break down for you
- 00:01:16how to make money from coding now what
- 00:01:18I'm going to do is explain to you the
- 00:01:20value of coding what my journey looked
- 00:01:22like and how I started from making 20
- 00:01:24bucks a week to now making sometimes
- 00:01:25over $20,000 per week and then I'm going
- 00:01:28to discuss all the different methods you
- 00:01:30can potentially follow there in so many
- 00:01:32different categories and many of which
- 00:01:34you've probably never heard of before if
- 00:01:36you want to earn a full-time income or
- 00:01:38sometimes much more from programming I'm
- 00:01:40thinking to talk to you about going from
- 00:01:42a developer to an entrepreneur what that
- 00:01:44looks like in the mindset shift that
- 00:01:46needs to take place if you want to make
- 00:01:47some serious income and then I'm going
- 00:01:49to talk about thinking longterm and how
- 00:01:52you make this more of a career rather
- 00:01:54than something you do on the side okay
- 00:01:56so let's get into it here with this
- 00:01:57first video value of programming well as
- 00:02:00we know learning how to code is one of
- 00:02:02the most valuable skills you can have
- 00:02:04not only does it teach you problem
- 00:02:05solving critical thinking and reasoning
- 00:02:07which is something that's going to carry
- 00:02:08with you the rest of your life but the
- 00:02:10risk to reward ratio is so low and what
- 00:02:13I mean by that is it takes you maybe 6
- 00:02:15months 12 months to get decent enough at
- 00:02:17coding where you actually can provide
- 00:02:18some value to the marketplace and then
- 00:02:20in that time you're immediately able to
- 00:02:22start making a ton of money and the
- 00:02:24upside is completely uncapped you could
- 00:02:26easily be making hundreds of thousands
- 00:02:28of dollars your second year being a
- 00:02:30developer I know developers who made
- 00:02:32$300 $400,000 in year two or year three
- 00:02:35of their career and I know guys that
- 00:02:37sold startups after just learning how to
- 00:02:38code for 2 three years right so the
- 00:02:41upside is just so high it's potentially
- 00:02:43uncapped and even if you go all the way
- 00:02:45down to the lows side where maybe you
- 00:02:46land some Junior uh entry level position
- 00:02:48at a shitty company you're making 50 60k
- 00:02:51a year which is still a lot better than
- 00:02:53you having to go to school spend
- 00:02:54hundreds of thousands of dollars waste
- 00:02:56four years of your life just to get into
- 00:02:58a crappy career where there's no no
- 00:03:00growth there's no upside and you don't
- 00:03:01have other potential now beyond that
- 00:03:03just the number of ways to make money is
- 00:03:04unlimited you don't have to get a job
- 00:03:06and in fact a lot of the options I'm
- 00:03:07going to share with you here don't
- 00:03:08involve working a 9-to-5 job you can
- 00:03:11work anywhere in the world you want you
- 00:03:12can be in any economy you want which I
- 00:03:14think is really important and you don't
- 00:03:16have to be a US citizen Canadian citizen
- 00:03:19or from let's call it a more a tier
- 00:03:21country or first world country you can
- 00:03:22be from a developing nation and still
- 00:03:24make a ton of money I pay guys that live
- 00:03:27in Tunisia like I think it was 7,000 per
- 00:03:30month I don't know what his exact salary
- 00:03:31is but it's something along that range
- 00:03:33why do I pay him that because he knows
- 00:03:35how to code I don't care that he lives
- 00:03:36in Tunisia if I don't pay him that
- 00:03:38someone else is going to pay him that
- 00:03:39they're going to steal him from me right
- 00:03:41so it's about the value you can provide
- 00:03:43it's not where you live and I think
- 00:03:45that's really a great thing this kind of
- 00:03:46eliminates all those different barriers
- 00:03:48that you might have in different
- 00:03:49Industries because you can work anywhere
- 00:03:51you want whenever you want at any time
- 00:03:53zone for as long as you want you could
- 00:03:55do 70 hour weeks you could do 20 hour
- 00:03:57weeks there just so many different ways
- 00:03:59to make money and I figured this out
- 00:04:01quite early in my journey I started
- 00:04:03learning how to code at 12 by the time I
- 00:04:05was 14 I was making money not very much
- 00:04:07money but I was tutoring people making
- 00:04:0910 20 30 bucks a week by the time I was
- 00:04:1116 I was getting paid double what my
- 00:04:13colleagues were because I knew how to
- 00:04:15code and I was teaching that at of
- 00:04:16summer camp by the time I was 17 I made
- 00:04:19about30 $40,000 in a single year which
- 00:04:22is crazy if you think about being in
- 00:04:23grade 12 going into first year
- 00:04:24university when I was 18 I made over
- 00:04:26$100,000 when I was 19 I made over2
- 00:04:30$50,000 which out earned my parents at
- 00:04:32that point in time by the time I was 20
- 00:04:34I was making high multiple six figures
- 00:04:37and beyond that I've made millions of
- 00:04:39dollars in a single year and in a career
- 00:04:41simply because I know how to code now
- 00:04:43obviously you compounded you add skills
- 00:04:45on top of that but it all came from that
- 00:04:48Foundation having a high value skill
- 00:04:50that allowed you to contribute something
- 00:04:52to the marketplace is what you need to
- 00:04:54start with and then you start to realize
- 00:04:56quite quickly damn I can build this up
- 00:04:58build this up build this up to the point
- 00:04:59where making just so much money it's
- 00:05:01actually unbelievable now I don't say
- 00:05:03that to brag genuinely a lot of you guys
- 00:05:05know I'm a fairly humble person but I
- 00:05:07want to get you pumped up I want to get
- 00:05:08you motivated I want to get you inspired
- 00:05:10and this is more of a closed community
- 00:05:11so I want to actually share with you
- 00:05:13kind of those hidden gems and secrets
- 00:05:15that allow you to really make some
- 00:05:17serious money to the point where you are
- 00:05:19actually financially free you have that
- 00:05:21location Independence and you can work
- 00:05:23whenever you want which I think for many
- 00:05:25of you is the ultimate goal so with that
- 00:05:27said hopefully I got you excited let's
- 00:05:29get into the next video here and let's
- 00:05:30talk about how you actually make money
- 00:05:33from coding all right video two let's
- 00:05:35get right into it I've got 14 different
- 00:05:37methods to share with you in terms of
- 00:05:39how you can make money from coding I'm
- 00:05:40going to give you a quick explanation of
- 00:05:42each but I'm going to try not to drag it
- 00:05:44on and at some point in time we will
- 00:05:46make a much more in-depth course that
- 00:05:48breaks down all of these and kind of
- 00:05:49goes through different strategies
- 00:05:51methods getting clients Etc but for now
- 00:05:53I just want to give you all the
- 00:05:54different methods so you can start
- 00:05:56experimenting with something today now
- 00:05:58I've got a uh sheet in front of me so if
- 00:06:00you see me reading my monitor I'm just
- 00:06:01going through the list no particular
- 00:06:03order here let's start with number one
- 00:06:06freelancing now freelancing pretty much
- 00:06:08just means you're kind of on your own
- 00:06:10and you just do random side jobs you do
- 00:06:12gig work maybe you're doing some hourly
- 00:06:13work for a company maybe you're
- 00:06:15finishing some project here but you can
- 00:06:17work for whoever you want whenever you
- 00:06:19want for the number of hours you want
- 00:06:20obviously assuming that you're getting
- 00:06:22paid by that company for those number of
- 00:06:23hours you're not an employee you don't
- 00:06:25have benefits you're not tied down to a
- 00:06:26set schedule and usually it's just
- 00:06:28you're going to do a certain number of
- 00:06:29hours or you're going to finish a
- 00:06:31specific project I've done freelancing
- 00:06:33anywhere from $20 per hour back when I
- 00:06:36was super young and just doing like
- 00:06:37really some very side gig type work that
- 00:06:40was super simple that they probably
- 00:06:42could have done themselves all the way
- 00:06:43up to
- 00:06:44$400 per hour I know sounds insane but
- 00:06:47if you're really good you can get paid
- 00:06:49to work at those kind of rates typically
- 00:06:52now when I do freelancing the rate is
- 00:06:53more like $150 to $200 per hour and
- 00:06:57that's a fairly typical rate for a
- 00:06:59moreor ior developer who has kind of a
- 00:07:01broad scope of work that they could
- 00:07:02potentially be be working on now as a
- 00:07:05junior developer you can easily be
- 00:07:07getting paid 5060 $70 per hour for
- 00:07:10freelancing depends what company you're
- 00:07:12working for and what you're doing but
- 00:07:13you can make quite a bit of money and
- 00:07:15where the real money is that is when you
- 00:07:16do project-based freelancing so for
- 00:07:19example you build a website for someone
- 00:07:21and you just charge them a flat fee and
- 00:07:23you do that based on the value you're
- 00:07:24going to be providing them not how long
- 00:07:26it's going to take you right so you can
- 00:07:27make a website for five grand that takes
- 00:07:29you5 hours you just now got paid $11,000
- 00:07:31per hour the person doesn't care how
- 00:07:33long it took you they just wanted their
- 00:07:34website done right so freelancing all
- 00:07:36kinds of stuff you can do there next
- 00:07:38tutoring this is my personal favorite
- 00:07:41one like if you're just getting started
- 00:07:42out not only is this really good for you
- 00:07:45but it's the easiest way to start making
- 00:07:46money immediately because people always
- 00:07:49need one-on-one help and you can find
- 00:07:51clients quite easily because for example
- 00:07:53let's say you're in University you can
- 00:07:54literally go to the wall and you can
- 00:07:56post a sheet of paper that has those
- 00:07:58little tabs where they can take phone
- 00:07:59number they could take your email you
- 00:08:01can say hey I'm doing one-on-one
- 00:08:02tutoring for computer science or for
- 00:08:04whatever the course is that you want to
- 00:08:06tutor doesn't even have to be
- 00:08:07programming in this case so many people
- 00:08:09need tutoring and I've done tutoring
- 00:08:11sessions anywhere from probably 5 or $10
- 00:08:14an hour up to $200 per hour when you're
- 00:08:17dealing with a really rich client who
- 00:08:18really wants stuff to get done so please
- 00:08:21don't rule this one out like if you're
- 00:08:22just getting started and you have a
- 00:08:24little bit of knowledge and like you're
- 00:08:25better than some other people around you
- 00:08:27you can absolutely teach them even the
- 00:08:29little bit that you know if that helps
- 00:08:31someone pass a course if that helps
- 00:08:32someone finish an assignment or get you
- 00:08:34know a C+ when they would have failed
- 00:08:36like that is still super valuable to
- 00:08:38them and you can even get into group
- 00:08:40tutoring where you do a session with say
- 00:08:4210 people they each pay you 20 bucks
- 00:08:44there you go that's $200 so really a
- 00:08:46business model to look into and my
- 00:08:47personal favorite one that I've made
- 00:08:49probably in lifetime maybe 20 $330,000
- 00:08:52from doing and it's been very much on
- 00:08:54the side not something I took super
- 00:08:55seriously next tutorials now obviously
- 00:08:59if you have have a big social media
- 00:09:00presence like mine you can just post
- 00:09:01tutorials and you get paid by AdSense
- 00:09:03and whatnot but a lot of companies
- 00:09:05actually need people to make tutorials
- 00:09:07for specific Frameworks libraries
- 00:09:09languages whatever it may be there's
- 00:09:12quite a few jobs uh that a lot of people
- 00:09:14don't know about that are actually
- 00:09:15specifically like technical writing or
- 00:09:17it's making video tutorials for a
- 00:09:19platform I have friends that have pretty
- 00:09:21much no social media presence but are
- 00:09:22pretty decent teachers and they get paid
- 00:09:24something like $2,000 per tutorial video
- 00:09:27they make for other YouTubers channels
- 00:09:30so they're they don't have a big YouTube
- 00:09:31channels they just were able to kind of
- 00:09:33connect with this company and they now
- 00:09:36make videos that post on this company's
- 00:09:38YouTube channel and they get paid a flat
- 00:09:40Us doll rate per tutorial that they're
- 00:09:43making now you can also do tutorials and
- 00:09:45other mediums right tax based tutorials
- 00:09:47blog articles all kinds of different
- 00:09:49Avenues here and I believe even if you
- 00:09:51go the medium route you're doing like
- 00:09:53medium based tutorials you can get paid
- 00:09:55for those or at least you can get some
- 00:09:56exposure next personal brand now this
- 00:09:59one is obviously going to be a lot more
- 00:10:01dedicated some you're probably going to
- 00:10:02have to take more fulltime or eventually
- 00:10:04you'll want to be taking it more
- 00:10:06seriously but even if you're a complete
- 00:10:08beginner like starting a series like you
- 00:10:10know learning to code in a 100 days
- 00:10:12right and every single day you post a
- 00:10:13Tik Tok video or you do an Instagram
- 00:10:15post and kind of share what you're
- 00:10:16learning you can very quickly build up a
- 00:10:18following and some of the best channels
- 00:10:21when it comes to personal brands are
- 00:10:22people that are relatable right so in my
- 00:10:24case it's hard for me to be like oh yeah
- 00:10:26you know I'm just learning how to code
- 00:10:27and I've been doing it for 10 years you
- 00:10:29guys can't can't relate to me like I am
- 00:10:30an expert level programmer at this point
- 00:10:32as much as I can teach you stuff it's
- 00:10:34not that relatable type content right so
- 00:10:36if you're someone who's more of a
- 00:10:38beginner intermediate you can make a
- 00:10:40personal brand related to coding related
- 00:10:42to your journey it doesn't have to be
- 00:10:44tutorials and Technical content like I
- 00:10:46would do it can be more lifestyle and
- 00:10:48you know what it looks like learning
- 00:10:50coding in 2024 whatever year you're
- 00:10:52watching this completely from scratch
- 00:10:54something to consider a lot of
- 00:10:55opportunities here and having a personal
- 00:10:57brand will bring you so many uh
- 00:11:00opportunities that you've just never
- 00:11:01thought of before you'll get job offers
- 00:11:03you get people wanting to do brand deals
- 00:11:05you get collaborations you'll meet
- 00:11:06incredible people and obviously in my
- 00:11:08situation I never like was really trying
- 00:11:10to build a personal brand but it kind of
- 00:11:12just happened and then once I started
- 00:11:13seeing all those great benefits I took
- 00:11:15it a lot more seriously and and built
- 00:11:17mine up right next we have SAS this is
- 00:11:19software as a service and this is great
- 00:11:22because you can just go out there and
- 00:11:23you can build some software that people
- 00:11:25want to pay for and there's so much
- 00:11:27shitty software out there that people
- 00:11:28pay for just because it's the only thing
- 00:11:30they know or it's what they rely on for
- 00:11:32their day-to-day and you can see so many
- 00:11:34different companies that have software
- 00:11:36as a service whether it's good or
- 00:11:37whether it's bad they make so much money
- 00:11:39and with SAS businesses as well if you
- 00:11:41have a lot of recurring Revenue so
- 00:11:43monthly or annual revenue you'll end up
- 00:11:45getting a pretty large multiplier if you
- 00:11:47do decide to ever exit that business I
- 00:11:49have a close friend of mine who ran a
- 00:11:51SAS business wasn't that great of a
- 00:11:53developer like he was really more at
- 00:11:54that intermediate stage was nowhere near
- 00:11:56where I would be or some of the other
- 00:11:58people in this community he built a SAS
- 00:12:00business I don't remember exactly what
- 00:12:02the service was but it was something
- 00:12:04relatively simple I think he ended up
- 00:12:06getting about 10,000 users and then he
- 00:12:08sold the company now he didn't make you
- 00:12:10know millions of dollars doing that but
- 00:12:12he made a few hundred, that was great
- 00:12:15and now he's got a cush he can go do
- 00:12:16whatever the hell he wants so something
- 00:12:18to consider if you are interested in
- 00:12:19building software think about okay who
- 00:12:22can I actually service here what's going
- 00:12:23to be valuable how can I get paid for it
- 00:12:26and you can make a fair amount of money
- 00:12:27and even if it fails it's great
- 00:12:28experience and it's something that you
- 00:12:30can throw on your resume and that looks
- 00:12:31good next mobile apps so many shitty
- 00:12:35mobile apps out there that people pay a
- 00:12:37lot of money for uh especially things
- 00:12:39you know like you got fitness trackers
- 00:12:40weight trackers uh Habit trackers like
- 00:12:43anyone can make one of those types of
- 00:12:45apps and if you're able to Market it
- 00:12:46well get a few users you have some inapp
- 00:12:49currency or something along those lines
- 00:12:51you can make Fair a fair amount of money
- 00:12:52from mobile applications so again
- 00:12:55another method and also obviously if you
- 00:12:56like building mobile apps something fun
- 00:12:58to do try to get a monetization angle on
- 00:13:01that next we have WordPress or Shopify
- 00:13:04themes now not directly related to
- 00:13:06coding but something that can be really
- 00:13:09really lucrative especially if you get
- 00:13:11one of those top themes so go on Shopify
- 00:13:13right and see how many different themes
- 00:13:14there are obviously you can pay for them
- 00:13:16you can also buy WordPress themes you
- 00:13:17can buy just pre-made HTML and CSS
- 00:13:20templates and if you get quite a few
- 00:13:22downloads you can get some high volume
- 00:13:23you can make a lot of money definitely
- 00:13:25check that out if you've never seen it
- 00:13:26because it's not that much work you know
- 00:13:28maybe maybe it takes you a few days you
- 00:13:30build this theme out and I mean even if
- 00:13:32it sits there and it gets a few sales a
- 00:13:33month like that's some great side income
- 00:13:35that I don't think anyone will be
- 00:13:36complaining about next we have technical
- 00:13:38writing now writing documentation is a
- 00:13:41huge pain no one wants to do it I don't
- 00:13:42want to do it a lot of you probably
- 00:13:43don't want to do it but if you're into
- 00:13:45writing and if you're actually good at
- 00:13:46English this can be a really valuable uh
- 00:13:49thing to do because you don't need to be
- 00:13:50an expert level programmer what people
- 00:13:52are really looking for is okay they're
- 00:13:54decn at programming like they've got the
- 00:13:56basics down they're good enough that
- 00:13:58they understand what's going on and
- 00:14:00they're a good writer those two skill
- 00:14:02sets combined uh really make you quite
- 00:14:04valuable and you can get full-time jobs
- 00:14:05doing this or you can do it more as a
- 00:14:07freelance or a side gig next we have
- 00:14:09helping small businesses now this kind
- 00:14:11of cane with any of the other things
- 00:14:13that I mentioned before but some of my
- 00:14:15favorite projects are where you just go
- 00:14:17to a small business that doesn't have a
- 00:14:18website or they don't have any marketing
- 00:14:20or they don't have some tool that would
- 00:14:22save them like tens of hours per week
- 00:14:24and you build it for them and the great
- 00:14:26thing is that it doesn't need to be
- 00:14:27perfect it doesn't need to be amazing
- 00:14:28you're not building a new website for
- 00:14:30Facebook you're building it for like the
- 00:14:31local bakery down the down the street
- 00:14:33and it's a lot more relatable however it
- 00:14:35does involve some sales which could be a
- 00:14:38bit difficult for some of us right now
- 00:14:40just to give you a specific example for
- 00:14:41this one actually when I did work at the
- 00:14:43summer camp not necessarily a small
- 00:14:44business but it kind of fits in this
- 00:14:46category I noticed that the admins that
- 00:14:49were in uh like the head office they
- 00:14:51would do scheduling for all of the
- 00:14:52different groups of kids manually every
- 00:14:55single week so they would like pick them
- 00:14:56out they would choose all the activities
- 00:14:58they're going to be doing they would
- 00:14:59like have to cross reference they had
- 00:15:01like 20 sheets of paper out and they
- 00:15:02were literally going with like
- 00:15:03highlighters and x's and it took them
- 00:15:05like a whole day to like do the
- 00:15:07scheduling it was insane what they were
- 00:15:08doing so I came in and I I saw them
- 00:15:10doing this one day and I was like what
- 00:15:12the heck what are you doing and they're
- 00:15:14like oh we're doing all this uh this
- 00:15:15scheduling I was like can you okay just
- 00:15:17walk me through like how this works they
- 00:15:18kind of told me their process I was like
- 00:15:20okay give me like a few hours so I went
- 00:15:22downstairs CED out some software that
- 00:15:24just did exactly what they were doing
- 00:15:26brought it to them and said hey like
- 00:15:27how's this is this better and they like
- 00:15:29it completely changed their life because
- 00:15:31now they had another day every single
- 00:15:33week where they didn't have to do this
- 00:15:34there was a little bit of manual
- 00:15:35checking that was involved with the
- 00:15:37software that I had but it saved them
- 00:15:39multiple hours per week and you have to
- 00:15:41ask yourself like how much money would
- 00:15:43you be willing to pay for something like
- 00:15:44that that could save employees you know
- 00:15:46two employees in this case eight hours a
- 00:15:49week or something along those lines
- 00:15:50right so if you can build this kind of
- 00:15:51automation software small tools you can
- 00:15:54just help increase efficiency even a
- 00:15:56slight bit you can get paid a fair
- 00:15:58amount to do that and you're actually
- 00:15:59providing real value okay so now into
- 00:16:01some more unique ones ones I don't think
- 00:16:03you guys may have actually considered
- 00:16:05before and what I've got here is bug
- 00:16:07bounties now quite a few companies
- 00:16:09release bug bounties now what this means
- 00:16:11is if you find a bug or an exploit in
- 00:16:13the software and you report it to them
- 00:16:15they'll pay you so they'll give you a
- 00:16:17flat fee amount uh based on the type of
- 00:16:19bug the severity of the bug Etc now
- 00:16:21famously Google had some bug bounties
- 00:16:23that were like a million dollar and
- 00:16:25nowadays a lot of new companies will do
- 00:16:27this one because they want want to get
- 00:16:29some more exposure they want people
- 00:16:30using their stuff but obviously they
- 00:16:32want to make sure that if they're
- 00:16:33growing really quickly you know they
- 00:16:34don't crash and burn because they had a
- 00:16:36few exploits or bugs that completely
- 00:16:38burn the business down I remember I was
- 00:16:40at uh eth Denver you guys some of you
- 00:16:42may know this this conference and I was
- 00:16:44sitting beside some guy in like the
- 00:16:45cafeteria and I was asking him what he
- 00:16:47does and he said oh I do bug bounties I
- 00:16:49was like what do you mean you do bug
- 00:16:50bounties like yeah literally all I do
- 00:16:51every single day is I just go and I like
- 00:16:53hack different websites and companies
- 00:16:55and I get paid to do that I'm like like
- 00:16:57you make a living doing that and he like
- 00:16:59smiled and like looked at his friend and
- 00:17:01uh he was like yeah like the last one I
- 00:17:03did was $250,000 for a bug Bounty and he
- 00:17:05didn't make it sound like it was super
- 00:17:07overly complicated I'm sure you know
- 00:17:09it's probably beyond what many of us
- 00:17:10have been able to do but something to
- 00:17:12consider like if you're into that you do
- 00:17:13ethical hacking bug bounties can be
- 00:17:15pretty cool and you can make a ton of
- 00:17:17money and there's a lot of these newer
- 00:17:19companies that have some pretty
- 00:17:20lucrative bug bounties that might not be
- 00:17:21you know to the level of one like Google
- 00:17:24Now next we've got hackathons now if you
- 00:17:26guys are good if you have a team if you
- 00:17:27want to build something out if you like
- 00:17:29this experience you can actually make a
- 00:17:30lot of money by competing in hackathons
- 00:17:32or in different coding competitions and
- 00:17:35winning now is this going to be
- 00:17:36something you do as a full-time job
- 00:17:37probably not but it's worth considering
- 00:17:39like if there's local hackathon or this
- 00:17:41one you want to go to first of all a lot
- 00:17:43of times you can actually get paid to go
- 00:17:45it's like they'll cover your flights
- 00:17:46they'll cover all your expenses it's a
- 00:17:48great time you learn a lot you meet some
- 00:17:50good people so already the experience is
- 00:17:52great I've done a few in my life I
- 00:17:54didn't win any of them but I did quite
- 00:17:55enjoy them and uh if you win like cash
- 00:17:58prizes could be $20,000 for the winning
- 00:18:00team or you could get some partnership
- 00:18:02with this company or you get a new
- 00:18:03computer like there's a bunch of cool
- 00:18:05stuff you can get from hackathons uh
- 00:18:07especially from some of the bigger ones
- 00:18:08so something worth considering next we
- 00:18:11have grants uh there's quite a few
- 00:18:12companies that actually give out grants
- 00:18:14to people that work with their
- 00:18:15technology or that build something on it
- 00:18:17now this is especially big in the web 3
- 00:18:19space right now there's a lot of
- 00:18:20blockchain companies that have a ton of
- 00:18:22funding uh from Venture Capital firms
- 00:18:25and they need to spend it and they also
- 00:18:27need people to use their software so
- 00:18:29they'll literally pay people $50,000 to
- 00:18:32build one of the top projects on this
- 00:18:34chain or in the case of some companies
- 00:18:35I've worked with even if you're not a
- 00:18:36crazy experienced developer if you go
- 00:18:39and you build something on the Chain
- 00:18:42then they'll just pay you money to do
- 00:18:43that so you can go to them you can say
- 00:18:45here here's my idea you're not competing
- 00:18:47with anyone and they'll say okay we'll
- 00:18:48give you $5,000 we'll give you $110,000
- 00:18:51to fund your ideas that you have some
- 00:18:53time to work on this you got some
- 00:18:54experience they'll want to maybe do like
- 00:18:56a survey with you or something or they
- 00:18:57want to like demo your project when it's
- 00:18:59done but the idea is there's so much
- 00:19:01opportunity out there and there's
- 00:19:03companies that literally have Grant
- 00:19:04funds that are in like the tens of
- 00:19:06millions of dollars that they're giving
- 00:19:07out to hundreds of different projects
- 00:19:09because they're trying to encourage
- 00:19:11people to use their technology now
- 00:19:13lastly I've got a great one here which
- 00:19:14is ugc user generated content the tech
- 00:19:18field recently has really been expanding
- 00:19:20more into this influencer marketing and
- 00:19:22specifically into the more micro
- 00:19:23influencers so people that don't really
- 00:19:25have any following or maybe have like
- 00:19:275,000 10,000 followers like a very small
- 00:19:30amount and user generated content is
- 00:19:32kind of I guess a field of this where
- 00:19:34essentially what you can do is as
- 00:19:35someone with no following at all you can
- 00:19:38make content that shows you using
- 00:19:40specific technology programming
- 00:19:43languages Frameworks whatever it may be
- 00:19:45and companies will pay you for that
- 00:19:46because they'll then repurpose it as an
- 00:19:48ad or they'll use it for kind of organic
- 00:19:50media and post it on their social medias
- 00:19:53I actually have quite a few friends that
- 00:19:54do this user generate content usually
- 00:19:57what it will involve is you need to set
- 00:19:59up like a bit of a profile for yourself
- 00:20:00you want to you know refine your
- 00:20:02Instagram or refine your Tik Tok or
- 00:20:04whatever and you start working with
- 00:20:05companies for free where they'll just
- 00:20:07send you some product for free that
- 00:20:09you'll kind of make like a little video
- 00:20:10about demoing you use it or just showing
- 00:20:12it kind of in organic life now once you
- 00:20:14build a little bit of experience doing
- 00:20:16this and you make some good videos and
- 00:20:17the companies like them then you start
- 00:20:19negotiating for rates right so it could
- 00:20:21be okay we're going to get $200 per
- 00:20:22video we're going to get $500 per video
- 00:20:25and eventually if you have any kind of
- 00:20:26social media following you'll start to
- 00:20:27kind of do a hybrid type deal where you
- 00:20:29make the video for the company you give
- 00:20:30them the ability to use it and then you
- 00:20:32also post it on your social media and
- 00:20:34they'll pay you for that reach and
- 00:20:36exposure I don't want to get into this
- 00:20:37too much because I'm not an expert and
- 00:20:38we are probably going to make a full
- 00:20:40course breaking down all of these really
- 00:20:42really in depth but I wanted to share
- 00:20:44that idea with you because I think for
- 00:20:45quite a few people that's quite
- 00:20:47interesting and in the tech space it's
- 00:20:49not as saturated as like General product
- 00:20:51reviews right so you actually can get in
- 00:20:53there and probably immediately start
- 00:20:55getting some deals there's a lot of
- 00:20:56marketplaces opening up now for or user
- 00:20:59generated content that kind of are
- 00:21:00connecting the brands with the creators
- 00:21:03which is quite interesting so there you
- 00:21:04go guys that is my list of 14 different
- 00:21:07ways to make money from coding now I
- 00:21:09challenge you before clicking off this
- 00:21:11video pick one of these and actually
- 00:21:13give them a solid shot now I'm not going
- 00:21:15to say it's easy I'm not going to
- 00:21:16guarantee you you're going to make money
- 00:21:18in your first day or your first hour
- 00:21:20working on this these things are hard
- 00:21:22and one of the reasons why they make a
- 00:21:23lot of money is because many people
- 00:21:25aren't actually going to do them if it
- 00:21:27was easy everybody would do it and then
- 00:21:29we would have no leverage here using
- 00:21:31coding as a skill but I challenge you
- 00:21:33pick one of them no excuses I guarantee
- 00:21:36no matter who you are no matter where
- 00:21:38you're from no matter your experience
- 00:21:39you can do at least one and again I
- 00:21:42really challenge you to work on them
- 00:21:43share your experience with us in the
- 00:21:45community if you've done any of these in
- 00:21:47the past and you have some more insight
- 00:21:49you want to share we would love to see
- 00:21:50your post with that said let's get into
- 00:21:52the next video where we're going to talk
- 00:21:53about a bit of a mindset shift you need
- 00:21:55to have if you want to make these
- 00:21:56successful all right so let's get into
- 00:21:58video three which is going to tie nicely
- 00:22:00in with video two now in that video I
- 00:22:02mentioned all the different ways to make
- 00:22:03money coding and notice that I didn't
- 00:22:06mention a job as one of them now
- 00:22:08obviously this is a way to make money
- 00:22:10coding I just thought it was pretty
- 00:22:11obvious and that's kind of a cheat for
- 00:22:12me to put in there because obvious you
- 00:22:14guys know that you can go get a software
- 00:22:15developer job and you can make money
- 00:22:16doing that what I wanted to do is start
- 00:22:18getting you thinking about ways that you
- 00:22:20can make money without having a job and
- 00:22:22how you can actually transform your life
- 00:22:24to be something a bit more unique and
- 00:22:26different than just being a n to five
- 00:22:28employee but in this video I do want to
- 00:22:31encourage you to ask yourself what is it
- 00:22:33that you want out of this skill so
- 00:22:35learning how to code and what is it that
- 00:22:37you want out of life and the reason I'm
- 00:22:39asking you that is because there's two
- 00:22:41very very different paths you can go
- 00:22:42down here but you don't really want to
- 00:22:44be jumping between them a ton because it
- 00:22:46will really limit the amount of progress
- 00:22:48you can make in either of these
- 00:22:49directions now Direction one is to get a
- 00:22:52software developer job you usually will
- 00:22:54not start out at a huge tech company
- 00:22:56most people don't you'll start somewhere
- 00:22:58probably a shitty company and you will
- 00:23:00work your way up that company and then
- 00:23:01switch different roles and switch
- 00:23:02different jobs now if you get a career
- 00:23:05in software development if you're a good
- 00:23:06developer this is a actually a pretty
- 00:23:08stable career especially once you've
- 00:23:09built a bit of experience you make a
- 00:23:12very good amount of money and if you are
- 00:23:13fortunate enough to get into a large
- 00:23:15tech company or even into a startup that
- 00:23:17ends up doing really well you can become
- 00:23:19a millionaire quite quickly and you can
- 00:23:21make a lot of money that is a much more
- 00:23:23guaranteed income Source than if you
- 00:23:25were to be an entrepreneur for example
- 00:23:27if you work at Google by the time you've
- 00:23:29been working at Google for four or five
- 00:23:30years you will very reasonably be at
- 00:23:33close to $300,000 per year in total
- 00:23:35compensation if you are able to climb
- 00:23:37that rank even higher many people just
- 00:23:39stay there but you could climb higher it
- 00:23:40is not unreasonable to be making 500 600
- 00:23:43$700,000 per year I know people in their
- 00:23:46mid-30s that make $800 to $900,000 per
- 00:23:48year working at a big tech company some
- 00:23:50of them are not even named companies now
- 00:23:53they aren't named companies but a lot of
- 00:23:54them are privately traded or they're
- 00:23:56just not ones that you may have even
- 00:23:58heard of before they just do something
- 00:23:59very very specific and they're very good
- 00:24:01at their job so with that said like if
- 00:24:03your goal is just make as much money as
- 00:24:05possible you may want to consider going
- 00:24:07down that route and if you really grind
- 00:24:09to get into those type of companies and
- 00:24:10you really focus on your career playing
- 00:24:12the politics learning how the corporate
- 00:24:14culture works you're going to be
- 00:24:16successful in that realm and it's going
- 00:24:17to be more guaranteed you know by the
- 00:24:19time you're in your mid-30s you're going
- 00:24:21to be a millionaire no matter what if
- 00:24:22you stay on that path now we have the
- 00:24:25other side right which is kind of doing
- 00:24:27your own thing being an entrepreneur now
- 00:24:30the advantage here is that you get all
- 00:24:31those levels of freedoms that you don't
- 00:24:33have when you work for a company you
- 00:24:35have time Freedom you have location
- 00:24:36freedom and the Financial Freedom is the
- 00:24:38one that you need to build yourself
- 00:24:40whereas on the other side you don't have
- 00:24:41time freedom and you don't have location
- 00:24:43Freedom typically but Financial Freedom
- 00:24:45is more guaranteed so you kind of have
- 00:24:46to pick you know what side do I want to
- 00:24:49be on and what do I want to do so
- 00:24:51actually ask yourself that question sit
- 00:24:53down have like a deep introspection
- 00:24:55section uh session sorry and think about
- 00:24:58carefully because this is not for
- 00:24:59everyone now if you are someone who
- 00:25:01wants to be more of an entrepreneur you
- 00:25:02need to realize that you know this is a
- 00:25:03journey just like it is going down the
- 00:25:05career path the thing is that your
- 00:25:08reward can be way higher right the
- 00:25:10upside is completely uncapped you can
- 00:25:12make unlimited amount of money there's
- 00:25:14there's no cap on your potential it's
- 00:25:15really just up to you what you end up
- 00:25:17doing and typically if you really really
- 00:25:19go hard at it and you know what you're
- 00:25:21doing you're going to grow it and it's
- 00:25:22not really going to be stagnant right
- 00:25:23it's going to continue going up and up
- 00:25:25now with that said to do that you have
- 00:25:26to put in probably more work than you
- 00:25:28would trying to climb the career in like
- 00:25:30a corporate 9 to-5 ladder and you will
- 00:25:33be sacrificing quite a bit at the
- 00:25:34beginning to get to that point so I
- 00:25:37think that's enough I think you guys
- 00:25:38probably understand the advantages of
- 00:25:39Entrepreneurship disadvantages Etc now
- 00:25:42let's talk about how you make that shift
- 00:25:44especially in development well you need
- 00:25:46to immediately start thinking more like
- 00:25:48a CEO boss business person than you do
- 00:25:51like an employee or like a developer and
- 00:25:53this is very difficult because our
- 00:25:54brains typically if we're in this space
- 00:25:56are wired to be thinking critic thinking
- 00:25:58logically problem solving reasoning as
- 00:26:01much as those are important in business
- 00:26:03that's not necessarily what's going to
- 00:26:05make you a lot of money right you can be
- 00:26:07a good developer and still be broke or
- 00:26:08still not be very good at a lot of the
- 00:26:11skills that I listed in that previous
- 00:26:13section so you need to immediately kind
- 00:26:15of turn off the oh I'm an employee hat
- 00:26:17and oh I work for $50 an hour or I do
- 00:26:19this or oh my time is worth x amount of
- 00:26:21money to how do I scale a business how
- 00:26:24do I leverage my time as well as
- 00:26:26possible and this is the big word
- 00:26:28leverage right how do I use my time as
- 00:26:30effectively as possible for some of you
- 00:26:31that is simply working for $50 an hour
- 00:26:34but for others it's doing different
- 00:26:36types of activities and trying to buy
- 00:26:38back your time and Outsource different
- 00:26:40things now I'll give you a specific
- 00:26:41example because I know this is kind of
- 00:26:43big let's say that you are a good
- 00:26:46developer okay you can do pretty much
- 00:26:47anything you can code anything out
- 00:26:49you're really good you're at like an
- 00:26:50expert level now you could simply work
- 00:26:53for everyone and no matter what you do
- 00:26:55you could just charge $200 an hour now
- 00:26:57you know know you're going to make $200
- 00:26:59an hour at this point like you are kind
- 00:27:01of an entrepreneur cuz you're doing
- 00:27:02freelance stuff but at the end of the
- 00:27:03day you're really just working as an
- 00:27:04employee and like your amount of income
- 00:27:06is limited by the amount of hours that
- 00:27:07you can work now if you were to instead
- 00:27:10of just charging by hour charge per
- 00:27:13project and based on the value you
- 00:27:14provide you can completely substantially
- 00:27:17change the amount of money you're going
- 00:27:18to make it could be way lower or it
- 00:27:19could be way greater and I'll share with
- 00:27:21you what I mean you could go work for
- 00:27:23like a little mom and pop shops right
- 00:27:25when I say go work I me do a project for
- 00:27:26them you could maybe make them a web it
- 00:27:28and the value you're going to provide
- 00:27:29them is you're going to give them some
- 00:27:30exposure and let's say you can maybe
- 00:27:32generate them 10 new clients a month
- 00:27:35maybe each client that comes into the
- 00:27:36bakery or whatever store it is pays 3040
- 00:27:39$50 as an average purchase you've
- 00:27:41generated let's say approximately $400
- 00:27:44in value in one month the reason is
- 00:27:46because well that's how much value they
- 00:27:47got from what you built they didn't pay
- 00:27:49you because you were good at building a
- 00:27:50website they paid you because you could
- 00:27:52get them clients right and they would
- 00:27:53have paid someone else the same if not
- 00:27:55more if they could have got them more
- 00:27:56clients if it came from something other
- 00:27:57than the website so in this case you're
- 00:27:59not framing your skill set in the light
- 00:28:01of oh I'm good at making websites I mean
- 00:28:03gu that's what you're going to do for
- 00:28:04them but you're saying I'm going to get
- 00:28:05you clients the way I will do that is
- 00:28:08because I have this skill set that's in
- 00:28:10development now that's a pretty low um
- 00:28:12leverage or pretty low value use of your
- 00:28:14time because you're working for very
- 00:28:16minimal value that you can generate now
- 00:28:18let's say we move it up a little bit and
- 00:28:19you now go and you work for a big
- 00:28:21company let's say you're doing
- 00:28:22freelancing for Microsoft and what
- 00:28:24you're going to do is you're going to
- 00:28:25build this automation tool that's going
- 00:28:27to save one ,000 hours a month because
- 00:28:29all these employees will now no longer
- 00:28:31need to do this task that's really
- 00:28:32repetitive and that could be automated I
- 00:28:34know this is an extreme example but just
- 00:28:36bear with me um to kind of get to the
- 00:28:37point here so now in this instance
- 00:28:39you've saved a th000 hours of developer
- 00:28:41time per month how much is developer
- 00:28:44time worth let's say on the low side
- 00:28:45it's worth $1,000 you can do that
- 00:28:47multiplication and now you've generated
- 00:28:49$100,000 in value or whatever that
- 00:28:51amount ends up being right what's
- 00:28:53changed is not what you're capable of
- 00:28:55doing you're a developer you can write
- 00:28:57code you could have just written code
- 00:28:58for either of these companies at $200
- 00:29:00per hour instead what you've done now is
- 00:29:02you've changed who you're working for
- 00:29:04and the amount of value you can
- 00:29:06potentially provide and the amount of
- 00:29:07value you can provide is not really
- 00:29:09based on the skill that you're doing
- 00:29:10it's based on the person that you're
- 00:29:11working for and the client that you have
- 00:29:14so this is just one example of how you
- 00:29:15shift from the employee mindset to the
- 00:29:18business mindset you start looking for
- 00:29:19the places where you can inject the most
- 00:29:21amount of value and you then extract a
- 00:29:24portion of that value right so if I were
- 00:29:26to generate $100,000 in value for a CL
- 00:29:28I'm not taking $100,000 maybe I take3 or
- 00:29:31$40,000 some percentage of it because
- 00:29:33that's reasonable now I'll give you an
- 00:29:35example in my case making YouTube videos
- 00:29:37right I could easily make a YouTube
- 00:29:39video and I can promote some like stupid
- 00:29:42thing like a fidget spinner right like
- 00:29:43you guys will probably buy some of you
- 00:29:45will buy that right some of you will
- 00:29:46enjoy it but the thing is the amount of
- 00:29:47value I'm providing by promoting that is
- 00:29:50pretty low because it's a lowc cost item
- 00:29:52even if hundreds of you buy it it's
- 00:29:53still only going to generate like a few
- 00:29:55grand right not that much in sales
- 00:29:56whereas if I were to promote I really
- 00:29:58High ticket item that is something
- 00:29:59that's much more in the niche that makes
- 00:30:00a lot more sense I'm going to be able to
- 00:30:02get much more money or get paid a lot
- 00:30:04more money to do that because it's just
- 00:30:06more reasonable right it makes more
- 00:30:07sense it can generate more money for the
- 00:30:09client so rather than me pricing say a
- 00:30:12brand deal which is something I do all
- 00:30:13the time based on okay I always just
- 00:30:15charge $4,000 because I get this amount
- 00:30:17of views the price for my brand deal
- 00:30:19depends completely on the company that's
- 00:30:21working with me with that brand deal if
- 00:30:23it's a company where I can't generate
- 00:30:24that much value I can't charge that much
- 00:30:26if it's a company where I can generate
- 00:30:28ton of value then the price goes up now
- 00:30:30again like I know this is kind of basic
- 00:30:32stuff but what I'm trying to get you to
- 00:30:33think about is that you need to use your
- 00:30:35time and position yourself in areas
- 00:30:38where you can generate the most amount
- 00:30:39of money and that doesn't really rely on
- 00:30:42what your skill set is it's really who
- 00:30:44you're serving and what you can do for
- 00:30:47other people right so that means picking
- 00:30:49the best clients finding the best
- 00:30:51opportunities building the best
- 00:30:52Partnerships and you can do this in many
- 00:30:54different ways that I want to get into
- 00:30:56much more in depth in another course but
- 00:30:58you need to completely shift the way
- 00:31:00your brain works from like I'm worth
- 00:31:01this much power to where can I go what
- 00:31:04can I do where I can generate as much
- 00:31:07value as possible and then take some of
- 00:31:09that value back that's really the key
- 00:31:12and that's what I've learned over the
- 00:31:13past 10 years starting by doing what
- 00:31:15many of you probably do just charging
- 00:31:16per hour or charging a flat fee or doing
- 00:31:18something like that to saying no no no
- 00:31:20like I need to find the areas where I am
- 00:31:23actually leveraging my time the best and
- 00:31:25where my time equates to the most amount
- 00:31:27of money and again a lot of the times
- 00:31:29it's not really your skill set it's who
- 00:31:30you're working for the clients and um
- 00:31:32what you're able to do for them so
- 00:31:34that's just one small example so that's
- 00:31:36the key point and what you need to do
- 00:31:37early on is you need to discover and
- 00:31:40find where you are most valuable right
- 00:31:42I'm not saying this is easy I'm not
- 00:31:43saying you know this day one and you do
- 00:31:45that by trying a lot of different things
- 00:31:47experimenting messing around trying this
- 00:31:49trying that failing in different Avenues
- 00:31:52tutoring realizing okay it's not really
- 00:31:53worth my time to tutor instead I'm going
- 00:31:55to do this oh this actually I feel like
- 00:31:56I'm getting paid a good amount okay let
- 00:31:58me try something like this right you
- 00:31:59keep moving around and adjusting until
- 00:32:01you tap into where you are actually the
- 00:32:04most valuable and what's going to tell
- 00:32:06you that is when people start paying you
- 00:32:07money to do those things which also
- 00:32:09means you have to be comfortable asking
- 00:32:11for money that you've never received
- 00:32:13before setting some crazy high price
- 00:32:15that you don't think anyone will
- 00:32:16actually pay like you mess around and
- 00:32:18find your value in the marketplace by
- 00:32:19experimenting and seeing what people
- 00:32:21will pay just bluntly with you guys if I
- 00:32:23do a brand deal or something along those
- 00:32:25lines I will just throw random numbers
- 00:32:27to company that maybe I don't care that
- 00:32:29much about working with to try to figure
- 00:32:30out where I lay in the marketplace
- 00:32:33because if company a is willing to pay
- 00:32:34me
- 00:32:35$25,000 then Company B they're probably
- 00:32:37going to be close in that range and I
- 00:32:39never would have known that if I was too
- 00:32:41scared to ask for that figure in the
- 00:32:43first place and potentially be rejected
- 00:32:44or potentially fail on that deal now
- 00:32:48once you found that and you're like okay
- 00:32:49this is my thing like this is what I'm
- 00:32:51good at this is where I can actually
- 00:32:52make a lot of money you need to
- 00:32:53understand how do I do more of that
- 00:32:55thing right so it's optimizing your your
- 00:32:58time so now maybe you're hiring an
- 00:32:59employee maybe you're getting a virtual
- 00:33:01assistant in my case I have editors I
- 00:33:03have agents I have people that work like
- 00:33:05for my YouTube channel which is the main
- 00:33:06thing that I run and why do I do that
- 00:33:08because my time is better spent making
- 00:33:10the videos than it is negotiating with
- 00:33:12brands or it is editing videos or other
- 00:33:15things along those lines so you start to
- 00:33:17really optimize the systems and figure
- 00:33:19out how do I do more of the thing that
- 00:33:22I'm getting the most amount of value
- 00:33:23from and why can't I do 10x 20x 30X 40x
- 00:33:27that thing once you figure that out you
- 00:33:28can build the volume and you can start
- 00:33:30to actually scale now at the same time
- 00:33:32you also then have to ask yourself you
- 00:33:34know where is the balance here do I want
- 00:33:35to keep doing this do I even want to
- 00:33:37scale and the nice thing with an
- 00:33:38entrepreneur is that you have control
- 00:33:40and you can just make 100 200k a year if
- 00:33:42you get to that point I don't really
- 00:33:43need much more than that I'm happy just
- 00:33:45doing this hanging out working 20 hours
- 00:33:47per week and that's the greatest benefit
- 00:33:49of going down this path now there's a
- 00:33:51lot more I could talk about here and I
- 00:33:53realized this is a little bit of a rant
- 00:33:54video wasn't super structured but I
- 00:33:57wanted to just kind of eject in you the
- 00:33:59different ways you think about things
- 00:34:01right A lot of people think about a
- 00:34:03skill as simply a salary they can make
- 00:34:05per year or an amount of money they can
- 00:34:07make per hour it's the wrong way to
- 00:34:09think about things when you go into that
- 00:34:11entrepreneurial route again I keep
- 00:34:14repeating it you just have to figure out
- 00:34:16what value do you provide and where can
- 00:34:18you provide the most you can then tap
- 00:34:20into that and take it out two people can
- 00:34:23have the exact same skill set and
- 00:34:24provide vastly different amounts of
- 00:34:26value based on on the type of tasks
- 00:34:28they're actually completing with that
- 00:34:30skill set and that's what you need to
- 00:34:32think about so that's going to wrap up
- 00:34:33video three let's move on to video 4 so
- 00:34:36let's get into video 4 we talk a bit
- 00:34:37more strategically here about thinking
- 00:34:40longterm now this has many different
- 00:34:42meetings but generally speaking I want
- 00:34:44to make sure that any of the activities
- 00:34:45I'm sharing with you here or even just
- 00:34:47your ability to make money with coding
- 00:34:48doesn't die in a few years and that this
- 00:34:50is something you can do sustainably over
- 00:34:52a longer period of time because again
- 00:34:54what's the point if we only can do this
- 00:34:56for 2 3 4 years yes you can make some
- 00:34:58quick money but for me I'm always about
- 00:35:01building the skills building the
- 00:35:03business building the ability to
- 00:35:05generate wealth and not just doing it
- 00:35:06over a very short period of time and
- 00:35:08then dying out and having to find
- 00:35:09something else this should be something
- 00:35:11that's sustainable it should be
- 00:35:12something long term at least that's the
- 00:35:14way that I look at it you may look at it
- 00:35:16differently but I'm going to share with
- 00:35:17you here my perspective now when I say
- 00:35:20thinking long term first of all that
- 00:35:21means before we jump into trying to earn
- 00:35:23as much money as possible we want to
- 00:35:25build that foundational skill of coding
- 00:35:28anyone who's going to make a lot of
- 00:35:29money with this has to First be decent
- 00:35:31at development you don't need to be an
- 00:35:33expert but you need to be confident in
- 00:35:35your abilities and I think confidence is
- 00:35:37the key word there this is something
- 00:35:39that exudes pretty much everyone that
- 00:35:40you talk to and something that really
- 00:35:42affects you internally whether you
- 00:35:43realize it or not you've probably had
- 00:35:45this before you walked into a job
- 00:35:47interview applying for a position where
- 00:35:48you're not qualified even though you
- 00:35:50might be able to fake it a little bit
- 00:35:52generally people can tell when you're
- 00:35:54confident in what you're doing and not
- 00:35:56and even the way you speak the way you
- 00:35:57answer questions the way you think about
- 00:35:59things uh internally yourself
- 00:36:00subconsciously are affected by the fact
- 00:36:02you know that you're not actually
- 00:36:03qualified for that role now same goes in
- 00:36:06reverse you go into an interview you
- 00:36:07know you're overqualified you know
- 00:36:08you're going to kill this job you know
- 00:36:10that this is like exactly what you're
- 00:36:11meant to do you're going to really exude
- 00:36:13that confidence is going to be very
- 00:36:15obvious to everyone in the room and you
- 00:36:16yourself are going to speak in a
- 00:36:18different way carry yourself in a
- 00:36:19different way because you actually know
- 00:36:21that you can do the thing and even if no
- 00:36:23one else knows that just you knowing it
- 00:36:25yourself uh really makes a huge
- 00:36:27difference found that personally in
- 00:36:28myself quite a bit when I started
- 00:36:30program when I started posting YouTube
- 00:36:32videos I wasn't that confident I didn't
- 00:36:34have the accomplishments or the
- 00:36:36achievements to actually say hey like
- 00:36:38I'm a great developer and it took me a
- 00:36:40fair amount of time to build that up to
- 00:36:42the point where I could speak more
- 00:36:43confidently right I could come across
- 00:36:45like I actually know what I'm talking
- 00:36:46about because I did and I was confident
- 00:36:48in myself so please first build that
- 00:36:50skill and it's going to help you in
- 00:36:52pretty much every area of life and
- 00:36:54business so let's say we've done that we
- 00:36:55have the confidence what's next well
- 00:36:57this three main things I want to talk
- 00:36:58about in this video and that's being a
- 00:37:00professional reputation and reliability
- 00:37:03um and we'll talk about a few other
- 00:37:04small things as well now let's start
- 00:37:06with being a professional no matter what
- 00:37:08area of business you're in no matter
- 00:37:09what you do you want to be as
- 00:37:12professional as you possibly can now
- 00:37:14what that means is even simple things
- 00:37:15like using proper punctuation and
- 00:37:17grammar having an email signature
- 00:37:20answering on time being fast to reply
- 00:37:23showing up on time and being reliable I
- 00:37:26mean these things all kind of tie into
- 00:37:27with each other everyone wants to work
- 00:37:30with someone who's professional right
- 00:37:32being a professional just shows that you
- 00:37:34actually know what you're doing you've
- 00:37:36done this before and that you can
- 00:37:38actually deliver on whatever it is that
- 00:37:39you're promising now I'll give you some
- 00:37:41specific examples here because this is
- 00:37:43really applicable especially in the
- 00:37:44YouTube space which is where I obviously
- 00:37:46make a lot of money now on YouTube you
- 00:37:49have let's just be blunt here a lot of
- 00:37:50kids right and you have a lot of people
- 00:37:52who are like vloggers or entertainers or
- 00:37:54they don't actually have any real skill
- 00:37:56set they just like have bunch of
- 00:37:57followers and they do silly goofy stuff
- 00:37:59online now with a few exceptions many of
- 00:38:01these people do not know what it's like
- 00:38:03to run a business they don't know what
- 00:38:04it's like to be professional they don't
- 00:38:05know what it's like to even work in any
- 00:38:07kind of corporate world they're in a
- 00:38:08place where like you have to maybe put a
- 00:38:10dress shirt on or you have to speak in a
- 00:38:12certain way or there's manners or um you
- 00:38:15know formalities or whatever and you
- 00:38:16guys can say what you want about that
- 00:38:17but the truth is there's so many people
- 00:38:19especially in this content space that
- 00:38:21are like a nightmare to work with right
- 00:38:22for example maybe you'll sign a deal
- 00:38:23with them and they just don't respond to
- 00:38:25you right they won't reply to you they
- 00:38:26won't show up for a call maybe it takes
- 00:38:28them 3 weeks to cancel on you maybe they
- 00:38:30don't deliver maybe they're late uh
- 00:38:32maybe on even on the brand side maybe
- 00:38:34you pay really late or you don't hold up
- 00:38:36the deal with the Creator or whatever
- 00:38:37ends up happening right there's just so
- 00:38:39many examples of
- 00:38:40unprofessionalism when that happens
- 00:38:42obviously that ruins your reputation and
- 00:38:44it makes you undesirable to work with
- 00:38:45even if you're able to contribute a lot
- 00:38:47of value so you want to no matter what
- 00:38:50you do be a professional in that space
- 00:38:53and I guarantee you it's going to help
- 00:38:54you in so many ways that you won't even
- 00:38:56realize and you're just going to be
- 00:38:57someone who's desirable to work with I
- 00:39:00get a lot of repeat deals I get a lot of
- 00:39:02repeat customers and clients and one of
- 00:39:04the main comments I get is that my
- 00:39:05operation is tight things are organized
- 00:39:08we're controlled we reply to people I'm
- 00:39:10easy to work with I answer really
- 00:39:11quickly I'm diligent I make sure that if
- 00:39:13there's any mistakes or issues they get
- 00:39:15resolved immediately that's what it's
- 00:39:16like being a professional and you want
- 00:39:18to be that in whatever field you are so
- 00:39:21just really keep that in mind now
- 00:39:23obviously being a professional is going
- 00:39:24to help with your reputation right you
- 00:39:26want to be someone who no so when I say
- 00:39:28reputation that means maybe you do
- 00:39:31things right now that don't make you any
- 00:39:33money but that build you a really really
- 00:39:35good reputation that could be even in
- 00:39:38outside of the scope of coding maybe you
- 00:39:40do some volunteer work or maybe you're
- 00:39:42really into this specific cause you help
- 00:39:44out with this thing maybe you post
- 00:39:45completely free videos online like I did
- 00:39:48for many many years building your
- 00:39:50credibility and building your reputation
- 00:39:52and then eventually later on starting to
- 00:39:54monetize that and starting to cash out
- 00:39:56on that reput that you've built there's
- 00:39:58a lot of things you can do that in the
- 00:40:00short term don't seem like they're
- 00:40:02really doing anything for you but what
- 00:40:03you are building again is that
- 00:40:05professionalism that reputation and the
- 00:40:07fact that you're reliable and if you can
- 00:40:09build your presence especially online
- 00:40:11things like social media even medium
- 00:40:12post maybe you're a contributor to an
- 00:40:14open source project that's going to help
- 00:40:16you in more ways that you can imagine
- 00:40:17it's really difficult to actually put a
- 00:40:20dollar figure or a value on those
- 00:40:22contributions so that's what I'm kind of
- 00:40:23talking about in this video there's a
- 00:40:25lot of strategic things you can do that
- 00:40:26early on don't immediately give you that
- 00:40:29reward that longterm are really going to
- 00:40:31help you and build who you are as a
- 00:40:34person right build your brand build your
- 00:40:35company whatever it ends up being now
- 00:40:37obviously being reliable I think this
- 00:40:39one is pretty simple you need to be
- 00:40:41someone that other people can count on
- 00:40:43they can rely on they have to know that
- 00:40:44if they give you a task there's no
- 00:40:46question there's no reason why you would
- 00:40:48ever not complete that and this is a
- 00:40:51complement I used to get all the time
- 00:40:52even when I was younger that people
- 00:40:54could just give me something and they
- 00:40:55just knew it was going to get done they
- 00:40:56knew it would be you don't have to worry
- 00:40:58about it I'm sure many of you have been
- 00:41:00in situations maybe like a group project
- 00:41:01where you just know that the teammates
- 00:41:03are not reliable like you can tell them
- 00:41:05to do something you can check in with
- 00:41:06them every single day you can do
- 00:41:07whatever you want and you're almost
- 00:41:09certain it's just not going to get done
- 00:41:11or that you have to take it into your
- 00:41:12own hands because you can't rely on the
- 00:41:14fact that it's going to be finished no
- 00:41:15one wants an unreliable partner no one
- 00:41:17wants an unreliable wife no one wants an
- 00:41:19unreliable client to work with so you
- 00:41:21need to be reliable and you need to get
- 00:41:23stuff done uh even if that means
- 00:41:25sacrificing right because that builds
- 00:41:26your re reputation so that's kind of
- 00:41:28what I'm talking about in this video and
- 00:41:30those are a few ideas to make you think
- 00:41:32a little bit more longterm you don't
- 00:41:34want to just take quick money do things
- 00:41:37fast you don't want to scam people you
- 00:41:38don't want to do things poorly sometimes
- 00:41:40it might take you five hours longer than
- 00:41:42you thought to complete this project you
- 00:41:43could just submit it and get paid right
- 00:41:45now but instead you're going to put in
- 00:41:47that extra work to build that reputation
- 00:41:49so this guy knows hey he's willing to
- 00:41:50put in the extra mile I'm going to come
- 00:41:52back I'm going to refer him I'm going to
- 00:41:53use him again so just kind of a general
- 00:41:55video here and really actually Target
- 00:41:57targeted towards a lot of you that are a
- 00:41:58bit younger or maybe just getting
- 00:42:00started even if you're only 15 16 17
- 00:42:03years old be a professional use proper
- 00:42:06grammar be on time be reliable this is
- 00:42:09going to really set you apart especially
- 00:42:11at a young age and there's people that
- 00:42:13are 30 40 years old that'll be taking
- 00:42:14notes from you if you really take this
- 00:42:16advice and actually adhere to it anyways
- 00:42:18guys I'm going to wrap that up here and
- 00:42:19that's actually going to finish this
- 00:42:21course I know this was short I know it's
- 00:42:23not necessarily a stepbystep guide there
- 00:42:26is just so many opportunities there's so
- 00:42:28many ways to make money and as I said my
- 00:42:30goal for you is to get the wheels
- 00:42:31spinning get you thinking about
- 00:42:33different things and share with you a
- 00:42:34few perspectives of mine and some
- 00:42:36experiences so you can start thinking
- 00:42:38okay what is my strategy going to be how
- 00:42:40do I actually want to make money do I
- 00:42:41want to just go work a job do I want to
- 00:42:43do freelancing do I want to try these
- 00:42:44different Avenues and hopefully after
- 00:42:46this course you guys are going to go and
- 00:42:48try at least one of those things that I
- 00:42:50mentioned and you're going to share with
- 00:42:51us in the community how that went for
- 00:42:53you whether you failed or whether you
- 00:42:54succeeded I would love to hear that we
- 00:42:56will be making a more in-depth course on
- 00:42:58this sometime in the future we'll let
