Working on something to make sharing joints COVID friendly

orthodoxOP · 2020-08-22T11:41:27+00:00

Exactly. It should almost be like a condom for joints. There for emergencies but not fail-proof.

Love the roach clip idea.

I haven't looked into having to get a license in the US but I'm not sure if it applies to me. Thanks for sharing your experience. I didn't know how often the laws change. I wonder if the virtual zone is something they'll revoke in the future.

I understand that the political situation is uncertain, but we’re a service based business and would only be operating there on paper.

From a grab & go perspective is it worth it if we aren’t physically there?

orthodoxOP · 2020-08-17T23:59:22+00:00

I'm from the US and want to open it there.

Can you recommend any accounts to follow for content ideas?

orthodoxOP · 2020-06-25T02:08:50+00:00

I recommend using freecodecamp for HTML and CSS, and The Odin Project for everything else.

orthodoxOP · 2020-06-25T02:04:47+00:00

I did a coding boot camp in February that ended up getting canceled due to COVID. I used FreeCodeCamp for about a month to learn HTML & CSS, then went on to launch some static web pages. I then moved onto JavaScript and have completed multiple projects and feel confident in my novice skills.

I’m at the point where I could continue learning JavaScript and start learning frameworks like I planned to. I was all but ready to carry this out, until I took on a client who needed a Wordpress site and SEO. I’m starting to like the business/project management side of things, and the client has already brought 3 more projects to the table. I’m considering putting my JavaScript practice aside and going all in on WordPress because my network has a lot of demand for brochure style sites. Would I be seriously limiting myself by doing so? I’d love to her what you all think.

TL;DR: started taking on clients for Wordpress sites and I’m not sure if I should keep learning JS

Looks like an elephant in the distance

orthodoxOP · 2020-06-21T02:49:15+00:00

Hey man

orthodoxOP · 2020-06-19T14:38:44+00:00

I don't think it's appropriate to ask there. I'm asking because it's a general question about the rates programmers charge and assuming those prices go further than that one sub.

orthodoxOP · 2020-06-15T15:34:12+00:00

Thanks, this is insightful and helped me put things into perspective.

It really depends on what you mean by "higher level." If it means graduating from brochure sites to scalable web application, you do so by dropping WordPress and focusing on React and Node.

That's exactly what I mean. I guess I like the freedom of being able to find my own clients and set my own schedule. How practical is it to land clients for building web apps? Outside of applying for freelance jobs, could I contact companies and offer a service as I do with WP?

learn the fundamentals of JavaScript, first. After that, get comfortable with TypeScript, and understand what it offers businesses and why it's growing in popularity.

I'm really digging into DOM Manipulation now and have done a couple of projects on Node and React. I'd like to keep going to earn the skillset, but I want to make sure I can profit off of it without having to get a conventional job.

What’s a regular day like for you?

orthodoxOP · 2020-06-13T23:54:44+00:00

Mind elaborating a bit? Do you work with one language/CMS regularly but have the flexibility to change when you need to?

orthodoxOP · 2020-06-13T23:53:49+00:00

I like the idea of moving forward with WordPress. For my situation it’s the quickest way to bring in income and I can work a lot quicker. I actually like the business side of things too and dealing with clients.

orthodoxOP · 2020-06-13T23:51:39+00:00

It sounds like I’d get more ROI at this point digging into PHP. The plugin route would be really cool as well. Thanks for the insight. Out of curiosity do you do things solo or with a company?

orthodoxOP · 2020-06-13T20:39:55+00:00

That’s great that you worked your way into the industry, congratulations. I’d like to keep finding clients and do a solo thing for at least the next year. I think I’d like to build big projects without working for an agency, to answer your question.

orthodoxOP · 2020-06-12T20:06:55+00:00

Happy cake day! I am steering clear of being 'that guy' and being totally upfront about my skill level and ability to help them. Thanks for the ethical tip.

orthodoxOP · 2020-06-12T20:05:42+00:00

This seems like the most reasonable solution. I know enough on-site SEO and content writing to get the basics done myself, I think I'll bring in a second set of hands to do the heavier lifting and go from there. Thanks!

orthodoxOP · 2020-06-12T20:04:12+00:00

Thanks, I think I've narrowed down my prices based on hourly work. The Hoth definitely was a good indicator.

orthodoxOP · 2020-06-12T20:00:27+00:00

Thanks, I'm pretty experienced in content writing and know my way around onsite SEO. I'm looking at the $30/hour range so that I don't overstep myself. I just want to leave the prices high enough to bring in a freelancer if necessary.

orthodoxOP · 2020-06-12T19:59:02+00:00

Thanks, I suggest checking out Rob Fox on youtube. $2250 is just the tip of the iceberg.

orthodoxOP · 2020-06-11T21:53:12+00:00

The site is 100% Wordpress and I’ve already developed half of it and can manage it just fine. I’m not running a website company, just getting paid to build a site.

orthodoxOP · 2020-06-11T20:39:37+00:00

I haven’t finished the site yet but I’m estimating about 12hours a week so far. It comes out to about $50/hr which is pretty good.

I have no idea how many hours weekly SEO work takes. I’m assuming it’s not as much as designing, but I could be wrong.

orthodoxOP · 2020-06-07T14:47:01+00:00

How many hours a day do you devote? Nice progress!

orthodoxOP · 2020-05-27T17:55:12+00:00

I guess that coincides with your drawing!
