Web Development Journey to $5k a month.

[wantviews]

A long time lurker here.

Thanks to this precious community i spent a year learning HTML , CSS , JS and now i at least can say i can cover everything that relates to building websites. I live in Russia (yikes, in terms of international work). So i'm planning to somehow capitalize on my skills, most preferrably by creating websites/finding a job. I have done a few payed gigs, but these services are heavily underpriced in Russia, i would like to at least make $750-$850 per gig. I created and parsed hundreds of code templates for sections / components so i can pump out decent websites pretty quickly.

So my goal is to:

1. Find a way to get clients from Europe / USA.
2. Start Landing Clients.
3. Start Looking for a Front-End job to gain experience and have some money to get by.

I will come here twice a week to share what i did to make my goal closer and we can discuss shit and whatnot.

Lessgo!

Tough market with lots of competition at cheap prices.
It will be hard to get to that sum - still I wish you the best of luck.

How you plan to get first few clients from new regions? I know that once you have got few first cleints, then it will already become easy from there.
