What could be better than being your boss?

You could work at a time that is


convenient for you and work with people that you want to work with. You could also
take holidays whenever you wanted to or even work 24/7 to expand your career.
Whatever you want to do, you can do it as a freelance programmer. However, you
should also keep in mind that while freelancing provides you total freedom to shape
your career, you also need to be disciplined, hardworking, and invest a substantial
amount of time before you see great results. But you WILL see great results in the
long term if you keep working!

Now the question that might come into your mind is “How to start freelance
programming”? Fear not! This article aims to answer your question so that by the
end of it, you can get started on your freelancing journey and build a great career in
the future. So let’s get started.

1. Learn the required Programming Languages

What is the most important thing you need to know to become a freelance
programmer in 2020? It’s programming languages of course! How can you offer your
services as a freelance programmer if you are not an expert in at least one
programming language? That is the fundamental requirement for becoming a
successful freelance programmer. Currently, some of the popular programming
languages are Python, Java, PHP, JavaScript, Swift, C#, C, C++, Ruby, etc. with
Python leading the group in popularity! You can also learn multiple programming
languages as they will help in taking on multiple projects and increase your reach
among prospective clients. Now the important question is “How to learn
programming languages?” Well, if you are studying Bachelors or Masters of
Computer Science in college, then you should learn to program there. Otherwise,
you can always sign up for online programming courses GeeksforGeeks.

2. Focus on a Niche

As they say, it is always better to be a specialist than a generalist! You will be paid a
lot more as a freelance programmer if you specialize in a niche. So after you have
learned programming in any language, decide a niche that appeals to you and learn
all you can about that. You can do more research by looking at freelancer sites or job
sites to understand which skills are in demand for freelancers in 2020 and which will
help you succeed in your freelancing career! For example, Data
Science and Machine Learning in-demand technology these days and you can
learn Python, R, SQL, etc. to succeed in that. You could also work on developing
your Statistical and Machine Learning skills as they would provide an edge in Data
Science.
